Display name character limit?

For the past couple of weeks I’ve been trying to add my pronouns to my display name, so that it appears as “YourHeroes4Ghosts (she/her)”. I’ve changed it in settings and saved, many times, but it doesn’t appear to be changing on my posts and comments. Is this because of a character limit, or is there some other issue?

Pretty sure the current limit is 20 characters. I hit that wall as well when I tried setting my wanted display name.

I never really managed to get into NV. I really should give it another try soon. I loved 1,2 and 3. Played 4 a bit but lost interest after a while.

I think it’s the whole western vibe that NV has going on that put me off.

Might have to install it again and put some serious hours into it to see if I manage to get hooked.

Their release manager was out sick which caused the delay:

Harry Potter, The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, Ender’s Game, Station Eleven, Hunger Games, City of Ember to name just a few :)

I want to move to Linux but I need to be able to access my apps that are not supported

Hey, I use the Adobe Suite for daily use to build and develop posts and videos for multiple people and can't have my workflow slow down by learning a new application, I've looked into Linux a few times and want to really move over in the future but due to it not having support for Adobe, I'm not sure what to do....

For your steam games you can check compatibility at www.protondb.com

There’s also lutris.net and usebottles.com

A lot of games work really well these days but you’ll probably notice a 10-20% fps drop. That’s at least what I’ve found.

Same, I wish everything didn’t have to be a video. Sure, for some things videos makes sense but it feels like 75% of them would be better as an article with a few pictures (or code snippets depending on the contents).

Improving zsh autocompletion?

Hi. So I’ve been a fish user for a while, but I’ve always gotten frustrated with it not being POSIX compliant. I tried to use zsh with oh-my-zsh to still benefit from fish’s capabilities on zsh, but I had 2 problems with it: it was incredibly slow, and it wasn’t as good. As I recently found out, the plugins can just be...

Oh… I used to play this way back when! Might just have to install it again! Thanks fpr the trip down memory lane!

This looks interesting. Have to remember to check it out a bit more in depth. I’ve always been interested in Buddhism from a secular perspective. The actual practice seems sound even if one might not be drawn in by the more esoteric parts.

Not sure if it’s me cup of tea at the moment but it does look impressive so far.

Gaming laptop or handheld PC?

I recently posted about finding time to game as a parent and the community has provided a bunch of good suggestions. Thank you! After reading all comments, I think it really boils down to accessibility of gaming for the occasional moments of free time that I do have in my busy schedule. The ability to pick something up easily,...

That’s such an awesome feature! I hate that it’s so common for games not to let you save and quit whenever you want and only make you chase checkpoints.

I just want to be able to hop in and out for quick sessions whenever…

how's your week going, Beehaw

hello Beehaw, it’s a sleepy morning–and i did not get very much sleep. luckily i have no social priorities so this is not a big deal. currently reading a number of books after completely crashing out of doing that for the entire month of June. i think i can get about 3 in before the end of the month, we’ll see

Where did all the Sriracha go? Sauce shortage hiking prices to $70 in online markets (www.cbsnews.com)

tl;dr: sriracha is selling for ~$40-$70 a bottle due to a shortage of red jalapeño crops, caused by climate change (specifically, extremely hot, dry weather as well as landslide effects from various climate events in the previous years). huy fong says sriracha is resuming limited production but did not specify when this...

Haven’t seen that one around.

I did find the Tabasco brand one to be surprisingly good though.

Creating an issue isn’t much harder than creating a post here. :)

Actually using it for developing requires a bit more but it’s not too hard to get used to.

Oh neat! I’ll head over there and check things out!
