  • Are you a fan of podcasts? If so, which ones would you recommend?

    Jump
    • Blank Check with Griffin and David. A podcast about film directors. We love da moviesh.
    • The Greatest Generation/The Greatest Trek. The best Star Trek podcast.
    • Marvel by the Month. Every Marvel comic, one month at a time.
    • Spout Lore - side-splittingly funny Dungeon World real-play podcast that will occasionally make you cry.
    • Sawbones - Medical history from a real doctor and her loveable idiot. Secretly one of the most leftist podcasts out there, Dr. Sydnee for president. Also relationship goals.

  • The circle of life

  • Good morning I choose not violent just hungry.

  • She drives me crazy.

  • What's the funniest thing your pet did?

    Jump

  • Gross

  • What Is The Most 80s Movie Ever?

    Jump

  • Lynch's Dune, for sure. Doesn't get much more 80s.

  • Nom nom

    Jump

  • I learned it as Pac Man.

  • Having issues with Talos Principle 2, got any ideas?

    Jump

  • The easiest way is to install protonup-qt, it's a graphical frontend to manage proton versions.

    Once it's installed it should be in the Steam compatibility drop-down.

  • Rule

    Jump

  • My favorite part is that it's "suspected marijuana".

  • Having issues with Talos Principle 2, got any ideas?

    Jump

  • Have you tried Proton GE yet? In Chrono Trigger, everything works until you get to a cutscene and then it crashes on standard Proton, I think there's a codec issue or something caused by the video. Could be something like that.

  • Republicans fear Speaker battle means they "can't certify the election"

  • I keep telling people, it's not the darkest timeline we ended up in, but the dumbest one. Reality is always much dumber than you'd expect.

  • Tell Santa what you want for Christmas

    Jump

  • You know, for a long time I thought the argument that choosing a distro was s big blocker for people was dumb, and people should just try things like I did. As I got older, though, I recognized that if I wanted someone to actually make the change, it's better to have a recommendation for them. The problem often with that though is they have to trust me exclusively, they don't have the relationship with Debian or Fedora or whatever, that doesn't mean anything to them. It's a "devil you know is better than the one you don't" situation. Sure, Windows sucks, but they don't know if the alternative is better. They have to take my word on it and take the plunge.

    Valve, though. They know and trust Valve. Everybody's got Steam and generally Valve has treated us well. I probably won't use SteamOS myself outside of my Deck, but I am INCREDIBLY excited to have a distro to recommend that gets over that trust hurdle. And even if SteamOS isn't a perfect fit for them, it gets your foot in the door and the next distro hop is that much less scary.

    I have been very happy with the work Valve's put into Linux. It benefits us all. Gaming was always one of the biggest hurdles and it's effectively a non-issue now thanks to Proton. Legitimately one of the few bright spots in a sea of shit lately. Yes Gaben has 6 yachts and they're still a profit driven corp and whatnot, but in this space they are doing a great job.

  • Let us never forget the most oppressed group of all, the Centrists

    Jump

  • Garak, you of all people know that's true. The question is if they're the winning side or not, right?

  • Experiences with Cannabis

    Jump

  • I've also found that cannabis can be helpful, but as with any medication, it's important to use it in correct doses at the right times.

    I find that it can be incredibly helpful to get through tasks I would otherwise find too tedious like cleaning or putting away my clothes. It can also help to get me to a flow state on solo creative tasks. That said, it can also make it difficult to focus in more "high-information" situations, such as studying and especially listening to and understanding other people.

    While cannabis isn't physically addictive per se, tolerance is a real thing and you may find yourself spending more money and, importantly, more time on cannabis than you'd like. You can lose a lot of productivity you'd gain with the time taken packing and smoking a bowl or two (or three or four as time goes on). This can be managed with careful dosing and tolerance breaks but you have to put in the effort.

    Ultimately, if you can afford it and it makes you feel better, there's very little harm outside of smoking anything, which vapes and edibles can get around. But if you want it to help and not just be a hobby (or worse, a crutch), you need to treat it like medicine.

  • Rugrats snuck in some touching moments

    Jump

  • Rugrats is a really strong depiction of realistic family dynamics. Lots of interesting stuff in the background. Also one of the best representations of a modern American Jewish family on television, I grew up in a mixed-faith situation as well and the Pickles felt incredibly relatable.

  • Optimus Prime vs Megatron - "Transformers The Movie" (1986)

    Jump

  • Wheeljack here fucked me up as a kid. He was my favorite from the show.

  • Optimus Prime vs Megatron - "Transformers The Movie" (1986)

    Jump

  • You are not alone. This movie has been a constant point in my 38 years. The soundtrack was the first CD I owned. I've got a Deception tattoo. I just watched it last week. Always hits.

  • Your favorite system fonts?

  • Iosevka.

  • In my experience pretty much everything works this easily. Steam games are a click away, Linux support or not. For things outside of steam you can either copy the install folder from a Windows install or just run the installer through Proton.

  • What do you say or do with the person in the mirror?

    Jump

  • I was finding more grays and wrinkles for a while but now my eyeballs don't work as good and it's all just a blurry mess, so at least I got that goin' for me
