I just did this. Brought my kid a gaming laptop, the night before I gave it to him fully set it up, removed the Windows bloatware, installed his favorite games, got him a Steam account, Epic account, etc. Gave it to him today, I just couldn’t wait! He loved it! We were playing on it together within 20 minutes. (The only game we played together had me create him an EA account which is the only one I didn’t try launching.)
Like Excellency or Honourable… But as a professor I receive so many emails starting with odd honorifics (e.g. Dear Sire, My Sire, Sir bbbhltz, My Lord, etc.) due to translation software errors that I can’t be bothered to even care about it anymore haha
Well, my dear Professor Bbbhltz, thank you for sharing the stellar advice 😊 I was all “Yes, people should do that!” before realizing I’ve bought a game for my kids 😅
I goofed and Google’d bbbhltz (is there a German reference hidden in there?) before noticing it was your username, found your Bookwyrm account.
Seems like we have some overlapping reading preferences — can you recommend anything in the sci-fi department that you enjoyed recently? I have a week to read 10 books and reach my 2023 reading goal of 52, and I’m strapped for ideas 🙄
I was a bad reader this year… But some quick sci-fi reads are the Murderbot books (Martha Wells) and the Forward Collection (7 books by 7 authors). An older one is True Names by Vernor Vinge.
