I’ve sunk over a dozen hours into it so far. It’s a really enjoyable game, however it is truly in early access stage and the developer has made no illusions about that. It’s playable, and largely bug free, but there’s not a lot of depth available since many of the features are still in progress. Up to the release of the game, it’s been developed by 1 person and he’s hiring some additional staff but that all takes time to see fruition.

The graphics are beautiful, and the game has a great atmosphere. I love watching the buildings being constructed. The mechanics in the game work well, but there’s a lot of buildings, resources, and advanced stages that need tweaking/implementing.

If you like what you see in the videos, and are OK with an actual early access game, knowing that features and improvements will be coming slowly, then id suggest getting it now. Otherwise, wait for the official release.

“arguing that it has harmed men and even destroyed the fabric of society.”

Ahh yes, the injustice of the millennium. Abusive, asshole men can’t keep their wives against their will…

I’ve been at my current job, which is a nonprofit in the social services industry for 10 years. I didn’t intentionally choose this industry but j found I’m very comfortable here. It can be a stressful job at times, but what job isn’t.

Theres no money in most non profits. However I’ve never hated my job the biggest downside aside from salary, I don’t have the budget, tools, or resources to do what I’d like at times. I also tend to wear every hat in our small IT dept. A distinct difference I’ve found in the non profits I’ve worked for is company culture is so much better. Ymmv depending on the industry and size, but people who stick with the company are usually in it for the mission. This tends to weed out the “bad eggs”.

I have a hard time stepping away from my job even tho j could easily make $50k more at a for profit company. I’m not sad about my choices even tho I’d certainly like to be paid more. I don’t live to work though, and the job doesn’t demand it of me so it makes for a decent work/life balance.

Most phoronix articles are pretty much straight to the point actually. I haven’t regularly visited them in a while but they were a good source for open source news, and might still be.

I don’t do much with bash since I primarily do windows admin, but I run into the same issue with powershell.

I have a document in VSCode that I store frequently used commands and any kind of notation/documentation I need to take advantage of it in the future. It’s a lot of one or two liners for stuff I know I’m going to forget, like the once a month hyperv cluster update command 😂.

Similarly I’ve added functions to the powershell local and global profiles on my computer/group policy. (contextually similar to bashrc, bash_profile, that load when launching interactive or non interactive shells, as well as user context) That way i can easily execute repeptive commands without having to think!

Basically, I think we all have the same problem and we’ve forgotten more than we know lol

Valheim at msrp. So. Many. Hours. Such a fantastic game.

I saw them open for Devin Townsend and Dream Theater a month ago. Their set was phenomenal. I was so excited to see them live!

For everyone’s sake it might be best to refuse to support the application because of the security risks with such an outdated program.

I’m about the same. Last switch was yahoo to Gmail and now I’m in the process of switching from Gmail to Proton Mail. The most difficult part was the mental switch - which email you start giving out when you sign up. Second was migrating services. I made it a point for a while each time I logged into something knew I would switch the primary email. Its been a long process!

If you haven’t checked out Pop!_OS I’d recommend giving it a try. While I’m using a system76 laptop so they guarantee hardware compatibility, it’s been one of the smoothest and most functional DE/guis I’ve used. Ive never had to resort to a command line* and aaalllmost everything you’d expect to find exists in the gui.

*caveat. Except for some really esoteric problems, which are usually a result of my own tinerking

I just picked up The Last Stand: Aftermath, and have been really enjoying playing that game.

A few of my absolute favorites

• Battletech

• Witcher 3

• Parkitect

Never understood you southpaws lol

Man that game was so weird and quirky! It was fun, but I also remember having problems exiting the game for some reason lol. It’s available from GOG if you ever get the itch.

Absolute yes to Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice!

My last two laptops have been System76 models. The first time I didn’t really love Pop!_OS but the most recent laptop I gave it another shot and it’s come a long way. Really enjoying it overall (still prefer KDE over gnomey stuff tho, lol)

I’m not totally sure, but i think bookshop does profit sharing regardless if the indie bookstore you designate is actually the seller/shipper. I subscribe to Libro.fm (a drm free audible alternative), and they do the same thing. I can designate an indie store and Libro splits a percentage of the profits with them.

I am familiar! (as an owner of too many boardgames) I think this could work for a lot of things!

Thiftbooks is my goto for used but I’ve always used Abe as a backup. For new I use bookshop.org. So disappointing. I will check out alibris. I know the name, but have never used the service.

Not AbeBooks!?! 😲😭

I really like this, and I will probably use it, but I hate clickbate thumbnails with a passion and avoid them as much as I can.
