This is a reasonable take, though I don’t feel the same way.

OoT felt like an open world game at a time when those largely didn’t exist (some did, but not really on console). The gameplay was still somewhat linear, but it felt like there was a lot of freedom compared to a lot of other games at the time. As a kid, I spent hours just exploring. I’m guessing this has something to do with its popularity at the time.

OoT in 2K at 200fps is great for the nostalgia kick!

I always preferred 8 and 9 over 7. For some reason, the characters in 7 never held my interest as much as in other games, and the gameplay was pretty basic for an RPG of that age.

The fetch quests were particularly disappointing for me, given the history of Elder Scrolls games (cough cough Morrowind cough). I didn’t mind the combat system (being able to equip anything in either hand was an improvement over previous games), but much of it did feel the same.

Sounds like someone was butthurt because they didn’t get to play as Oddjob…

Fucking Oddjob.

It was very pretty, and the soundtrack deserved the praise it received. Nothing too innovative about the gameplay though, and the story was good but typical for this genre.

That being said, I did enjoy it a lot. But that gameplay style is one of my favorites, so the visuals and music were just perks.

Bob Dylan was loved for his song writing. People didn’t love his voice or his playing, but they loved hearing him in spite of his voice because his songs meant so much.

The most popular versions of his songs were often recorded by other folk groups.

I’m the kind of person who would ask for their definition of “rarely”. How many 9s are we talking? If it’s at least three nines, I’m one-boxing it.

Not one muppet, but this exchange:

Gonzo: “It just feels weird.”

Rizzo: “That Mr Arrow is dead?”

Gonzo: “Yeah, that. And my pants are filled with starfish.”

Rizzo: “…you and your hobbies!”

As far as Arch-based distros go, CachyOS has a lot of helper tools included, and a lot of GUI programs. That’s probably why people consider it beginner-friendly.

I wouldn’t really consider CachyOS as a beginner distro. It’s probably the most accessible for anyone looking for something highly optimized, but there are plenty of others that are easier to set up and use.

Been daily driving Cachy for a couple years now, and I love it. It’s not for everyone, though.

Also in English, there’s Rosa, Marigold, and Iris (though Marigold might be a color rather than a flower?)

Something like this:

Like I said, just make sure the latch hardware has enough clearance from the wall and you should be able to fit a 34" door in there. If you needed a 36" door, you’d probably have to either tear up the existing walls, or otherwise have something that looks a lot more weird.

You need the knob side to stick out enough for the latch to not hit the wall, but putting the jamb against the (finished) wall surface should be enough. Then use something like quarter-round as trim to hide any gap left from shimming the door.

You might want to bring a long level and see how plumb and even that opening is. The trim work will look worse if there’s a lot of variation in that wall, or if it’s not vertical. In that case, depending on how much you care about the appearance, you could tear off the drywall and adjust or shim the studs to have a better wall to work from.

If you end up with the trim looking uneven because of variation in the wall, you can paint the wall, trim, and jamb all the same color to make it less noticeable. It doesn’t look the best when you do that, but it might be preferable to seeing wobbly trim. And for a basement unit, it’s probably fine.

Might have the same issues as the barn door, but something like a pocket door might help maximize the width (assuming you don’t need access to that door under the other stairs). It would at least be a little better for noise.

For a more “standard” door, you could basically just install the door jamb right up to the existing wall. It would be tricky to trim it nicely, but you’d only need about an inch of space on each side that way. And if you’re careful, you can make it so the door can open almost a full 180 degrees into the basement to make it easier to move furniture.

Your other option for gaining space is removing the drywall/plaster from the wall of the stairs and replace it with paneling or something else thinner. Could get an extra half or three-quarter inch maybe?

You made the right choice. I was treated with more respect when I was flipping burgers in college.

Anything that custom-fits something. I do a bunch of functional prints, mostly things that are specific to something I own. I printed my wife a phone holder sized to fit her phone and case, I printed wall mounted holders for my remote and keyboard for my HTPC, and I recently upgraded to a larger printer that I used to create custom drawer organizers that fit exactly the things I need. I’ve also used it to print replacement parts for things, replacements for missing pieces, etc.

Success!

Google has been pushing developers toward using app bundles instead of APKs. The actual APK you get is specific to your hardware.

The easiest way to get an APK is to ask the developer. If that’s not an option, you can consult a search engine—there are plenty of sites that distribute them (though there’s no way of verifying their integrity).

Do you have permission to upload the APK? What app is it?
