C9 means RET

I have over 700 games waiting on Steam, over 300 on Heroic… I’m not buying any other game until I get that backlog down.

Playing some smaller, chill games: The Unfinished Swan and Sludge Life.

Got married very young, got a crazy wife, had a bunch of kids, divorced, migrated, worked hard, became a decent person in the process and is now a grandfather. I still meet him occasionally and he’s a fun guy to be around of.

Heroic launcher. This is what you need, my friend.

Same, Manjaro with kernel 6.6.65, all AMD Thinkpad E14 Gen 3.

I focus on the playability and addictiveness of the game; you focus on the immersiveness and photo-realism of the experience.

That does not make either of us right or wrong, we’re just weighing different aspects differently.

As someone who grew up when you could physically count the bloody pixels on the screen, this whining about a miserable invisible miniscule artifact makes me palmface very hard.

You can backup to an external USB drive (that’s what I do), or setup a small backup server (with RAID if you want).

If you use Borg it will do the right thing out of the box with minimal configuration - compression, deduplication, encryption, and incremental backups.

The first backup will be full and take longer, but subsequent backups will only target changes and will be quite fast.

Restoring is very straightforward, even if you only need a single file you deleted accidentally.

Raid can protect you from a single drive failure in case you need an “always on” setup. Even then, if the drives are identical, they can fail within days from each other. If you don’t have monitoring, you’ll lose everything before you can react. I feel that’s not your use case.

You need backup. You can use something like rsync or even better borg backup. Keep the backup offline and backup often. You’ll be safer that way.

I’m sure there’s a relevant XKCD, but I’m too lazy to link it.

Another package manager? Really? Why?

Peace and quiet.

Awesome brain killer.

The first minutes of Up.

Yes, you’re right. I bought a Kindle but haven’t used it much as I am still going through my book backlog.

As they say: you will own nothing, rent everything, and like it.

I still prefer paperback books, even if I’m struggling to find more space at home for them.

Books. I always need more.

Innovation and creativity are still running high on the major studios. Honestly I hope they would just let the creators get back on LSD or coke or whatever they did back when movies were fun.

Your opinion is not mine to change, so it would be useless to try. I’ll let it pass through me and when it has passed only I remain.

Embrace stoicism.
