I mean, take away all but 1 white piece and give it a shotgun and you might have a fun rougelite on your hand.

There was a small amount of thought put into it, but my official refurbished Steam Deck. Fairly impulsive of me to have gotten it. Love it.

Also, if you look at the majority of the stuffed animals in my room besides a couple, they’re kinda impulse buys and a couple of them have been amazing because I can just cuddle with them while watching videos on my phone in bed or hug them when I’m excited or stressed or bored or whatever I’m feeling. They make for great companions for me.

Until my laptop dies or cannot support it, I’m sticking with KDE Plasma. Love how MX configured it (because I’m lazy) and absolutely will keep using it for as long as my laptop survived or can hold it.

Might try other ones in VMs (like ratpoison) in the future for other machines I might set up in the future, but for now KDE Plasma is my go-to that I’ll probably be using for a long time.

Only times I have ever used it for anything has been whenever I’ve created an account for Perplexity* using a temp email and need the verification code but don’t wanna copy or type it out.

*I only use their AI for inconsequential things that have no impact on my life and are otherwise pointless, like writing very dumb stories.

The only thing that makes me question that is my current laptop not having a working headphone jack port. It’s most likely a hardware issue that I would need to put a ton of work into figuring out why it isn’t working properly. It’s a Samsung Galaxy Book, so I would have to look up the specific model and find out what hardware they use, which I’m not too fussed about since I can just begrudgingly use bluetooth.

Same type of issue with the last shitty worse-than-a-toaster laptop with detachable touchscreen monitor laptop I used to have that ran Ubuntu (my first experience with Linux in general).

Headphone jacks on laptops are the bane of my existence when it comes to Linux (obviously not including android because I count that as its’ own separate entity).

Summer because I love the long, warm days with cool nights. I’m also a heat lover.

The first ever concert I ever went to November of last year I got super lucky. Headliner band, a local hometown Rock group, had a few different CDs for merch sales. All the other acts had vinyl if they were selling their music on physical media, which was a real bummer because I would have totally gotten a CD from one of the other acts I really liked.

I’ve also been seeing vinyl at walmart any time I am unfortunate enough to have to go there. It doesn’t feel right. Totally agree on the space thing since I can currently fit all my CDs (for now) in a small drawer in my desk but would absolutely struggle to fit vinyl just about anywhere on/in my desk without it sticking out like a sore thumb.

Hopefully it’ll come sometime this year, but definitely looking forward to the first ever DLC for Brok the Investigator (Brawl Bar) to release. Same with the comic they’re working on that I helped fund that is coming at the end of the year in December.

I’d probably say something like my Sony Discman or any other CD player, if we’re talking the general public. CDs aren’t anywhere near as popular as they used to be thanks to streaming, but if you’re collecting like I am, a dedicated CD player is a necessity.

Only other alternatives I know are either Safari if you’re on an apple device or something like Links/Links2/Lynx if you don’t mind text based browsers. Neither are convenient for their own reasons, but it’s not like we have any other choices. At least not that I’m aware of.

Easy Mode:

Definitely 2 of my favorite Weird Al songs that I don’t really hear people ever talk about:

Don’t Download This Song, and Virus Alert.

Hard Mode:

I don’t listen to non-Weird Al parody songs anymore and haven’t since late middle school to early highschool, so I got none in my head anymore.

Played the game Me And My Shadow. It’s an abandonware open source 2D puzzle platformer for windows that apparently was last updated in 2021, with source package last updated 2 years prior according to the last github nightly build release. Repo was archived January of this year. Not really a cool and exciting game at all compared to other open source games like Mindustry or SuperTuxKart or SRB2.

Technically not since they were married, were renting small house, and had at least one kid by the time they were my age. I’m still in college.

Considering EA is known for making sports games clones of each other that only change the year in the title and people still buy it, I wouldn’t be shocked if nothing comes out of this.

It would be a bad use of it, but probably pick a random road online and pick a random volcano. Whoever gets unlucky and doesn’t notice the nightmare portal in the ground gets a free trip to the base of a volcano at no cost. Would obviously need the portal to be in a location where you cannot just easily return from, though. Gonna turn a random volcano and random street into quite the tourist attraction for no reason.

Being in a basement, on a couch, playing Sonic Mega Collection on a CRT TV while also being able to pause and switch from AVI to DVR using the button on the TV to catch my favorite cartoons.

I spent a lot of time playing that game growing up, but I’d say doin what I described above was pretty peak for me back then, before middle or high school (couldn’t tell you which grade, though). Probably summer, not much to do, could switch between Sonic 3D Blast and what I think was a marathon on Cartoon Network, back when I used to be so much more into the pokemon anime, during the diamond and pearl era. I do remember a single fragment of an episode, with that aura guy with the blue hat and cape and his lucario.

Last time I went down the stairs at my apartment complex. Accidentally started going down on the wrong foot and wouldn’t land on the correct foot when I got off the stairs, so I jumped the last couple. Long story short, in my case it’s an autism thing more than any actual issue, so that is why I jumped.

Don’t know quite how things would work out, but definitely domesticat the North American beaver because they’re one of the coolest animals and you can’t convince me otherwise.

Couple days ago I accidentally removed a package, not fully understanding what would happen. Ended up logging out thinking nothing of it. Couldn’t log back in as there were zero sessions available. Also, for some reason a huge on-screen keyboard kept popping up a lot when I’d click on the login panels things.

I am very grateful my distro came with Timeshift by default and that I had a backup from the day before to fix everything. Also glad Rescuezilla allowed me to install Timeshift and restore.

Doesn’t matter who you are or what you believe, it’s definitely a rite of passage to break your system once. That is something I’ll always agree with.

Well, the type of policies like that typically come from one of 2 types of people: communists and fascists.

As much as I hate capitalism, I hate communism even more.

Edit:

Forgot and didn’t notice this was one of the .ml communities. Not gonna continue the conversation because I have the strongest feeling neither of us will argue in good faith.
