Been playing for a while already. Daggerfall is a favorite of mine. The devs are making a new game called Wayward Realms. It looks like Daggerfall with modern graphics. Down the the weirdness of the layout for the world, with random crypts and graveyards miles from anything at all.
Gentoo gaming and music production rig working through mostly tty with dwm as a graphical display. I typically stay on tty until I want to play a game, use modern web, or record a song. Otherwise tty with Links browser.
I was using an old plasma screen from around 2008/9 for a while until my girlfriend's sister's exboyfriend stole it. Their dad gifted me a 55in 4k tv that wasn't bid on at an auction he was running. That plasma is probably gonna burn down Shithead's place at some point, it was pretty sketchy.
Helldivers 2. I just found it boring. I'm waiting still for my refund, I only haf about 1.5 hours in it. But only 45 minutes of gameplay. I managed to only get a few matches and they were very dry.
It's a cool concept, but just seems short of what I expected. Seems the majority of good stuff is much much further down the line in it. I'd say Deep Rock is better option for this kind of game. Doing missions and fighting hoards of bugs.
I use a t480 for my carry laptop with Gentoo. It's been solid. Replaced both batteries pretty easily, replaced thermal paste, and it's good to go again. I paid about 160 got it. I had a t460 as well, but gave that to my gf. Either of those were good and not too expensive for a semi modern computer for general usage.

What's the best place to look for jobs these days? Going on indeed floods me with endless "insurance sales" positions. I tried Dice, but almost every job is wildly out of range for experience to pay. I've devolved down to scrolling over an area on google maps and clicking businesses to check their websites.
I recently finished The Myth of Sisyphus by Camus. I'm going back and forth between Meditations by Aurelius or Kraftwerk: Future Music from Germany by Schütte. I tend to take my time with books so I want to make it count. Meditations is shorter and been on my list for a while, but I've been on a serious thing for Kraftwerk lately.
Even though it's a stereotype, Catcher was my favorite book throughout school. From abouy 6th grade I read it every year until I graduated high school. I wrote many essays around it for my English classes.
I used Ubuntu, then Arch, and now Gentoo. Been about 2 years with most of my time on Arch. Gentoo is my favorite though. Just does what I want, how I want.
Most of my girlfriend's family is deaf. They read fairly slowly and end up usually not really following subtitles very easily. Sign language is fastest for them to understand.
I’ve always just used konsole or gnome terminal. Never really looked into what else is available. Tried cool-retro-term the other day, but the novelty wore off pretty fast for me....
Well, I knew my brother was getting a new phone soon anyways so getting notified his device changed wasn't a surprise. Otherwise, getting notified hia device changed without that knowledge may have triggered me to contact him elsewhere to ask if he did. Signal is mostly going to be conversations between close/trusted individuals. It doesn't tell you what they changed to, the message basically tells you that if this person didn't legitimately change devices then it might be a bad actor.
For a case that comes included with the system I can't complain. I put a cloth under the deck and the US charger fits alright. I'll maybe get a bigger case someday, but this one is prettu good for me not having to go get another one. The switch didn't come with a case, so it wad just naked until I found a decent one.
I looked at my requirements of being stable and secure, and calyx seemed to have the most focus on that plus having a good outward image. Graphene's main dev has had a troubled past with criticism.
