We already have the Smoot.

I’ll be taking my Scouts out mid-December, that’ll be our last of the year. That’ll be fun.

Even Microsoft doesn’t seem to be actively preventing their games from running on Linux. Fuck Sweeney.

Learning that companies are doing this so you can’t install competitor’s games

Wait, wat? I hadn’t heard this explanation. I cynically thought it before, but I’ve never seen it suggested by anyone other than me.

Saskatchewan too, 28 October.

0…16 if you add fingertips.

Yup, I was frienda with his older brother. Both of them were/are a bit weird, didn’t think much of either of them academically until grade 12. Then their math & and computer genious came out. Had a few university classes with them, the older brother has better social skills, but Lee is more creative IMHO.

Upshot is I played Capsized in 2009, so that was neat.

I need to try out Xonotic. I went to high school with the guy who started the original game, who runs Alientrap now.

I’ve been meaning to try the original Crysis now that I have a computer that can play it. I started it, but then life happened.

DOOM Eternal didn’t do it for me. It’s Doom-ish, but not enough. It’d be a better game if it wasn’t set in the Doom universe trying to add a bunch of non-Doom elements to the game. Doom (2016) did that too, but not to the same extent. I like the older Dooms mostly for their simplicity: get gun, see bad guy, shoot gun. Pick up health. Repeat. Doom Eternal did that, but added a story, weapon mods, and skills. Fine mechanics, but not Doom enough for me.

I once caught gay from a used marijuana needle. Never again. Took a lot of prayer and fasting to make that go away. Ban it. Ban it all!

(/s, of course. Shouldn’t be necessary but this is the internet…)

With a high enough mains voltage absolutely.

A few friends and I are planning a 90s lan. Simple rules like no games published after 2001-08-23, no internet, only self-hosted servers, and all shit talking must be out loud. Also shit talking must be kid safe since we’re all old and have kids old enough to be competent but young enough we don’t want to teach them the true art of shit talking.

Table… top… dishwasher? What sorcery is this?

It’s the lead lining.

I’m on Ubuntu because work too. I really hope nobody gets the idea to do really silly things like enforce Gnome or something. Wouldn’t put it past them.

Sway on Arch master race?

I would have, but my first minimum wage-type job was after high school. I didn’t make enough to pay into CPP, but I don’t know if that’s a universal truth for younger workers or just because I didn’t work more than 10 hours a week.

Also fun fact, going back go my original comment about wage: Saskatchewan’s October increase to its general minimum wage won’t catch up to Ontario’s current student wage. Things are cheaper here, yes, but things aren’t (much if any) cheaper in Saskatoon or Regina than in London.

What part of Canada? I see old pickups and SUVs all the time.

#4 is huge. I had an '89 Ford Probe. It had 330000km on it when the bottom rusted out and wasn’t worth repairing. Mechanically that thing was still perfectly sound, and probably could have put another 100k on it.

And married.
