  I just picked it up on a steam sale. Excited to try it out again. Played it a little a long time ago but didn’t know what to do. Apparently it’s gotten a lot better and I love space stuff

  eBay helps too. I picked up 16gb of ddr4 ram for someone the other day for $40 and got myself a cpu cooler for my build for $60 less than brand new. It was just open box so basically new. Takes patience but there are still deals to be found out there.

  I just built an am4 machine from mostly old parts I had kicking around. Was happy I went a little to crazy a few years ago. No way I’d of been able to do it with prices now

  Speak for yourself! I’m horrible at overcoming accents that aren’t from my zone.

  To be fair though… I came out to my old car without digital nonsense yesterday and it didn’t start either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I make a Bluetooth button to skip YouTube ads on the computer?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I do unlock origin on Firefox (or a Firefox fork) + sponsor block. The combination gets almost everything

  Not quite as compact but I think you can r pi a little media box pretty easily.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve announces three new products: the Steam Frame, Steam Machine and Steam Controller⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gamers Nexus reported cost will be in line with budget PCs and not competing with console pricing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prusa partners with Israeli company⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it just me or is prusa kind of overpriced? Off topic from the article

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best way to ease getting back in shape after years of little to no exercise?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The hardest thing is to just do it regularly. Whatever it is. Have a set time every day you do it. If it’s walking, do it rain or shine at a certain time every day.

  Count your calories and try to burn more than you consume. There are lots of apps out there to help but I used omnom and it is great.

  Lots of people say to take progress pictures in front of a mirror so you can see your progress. It can be motivating.

  Yeah this person knows what’s up. Don’t fall into the cast iron cleaning cult bs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  People are so weird with their cast iron care… I scrub it with hot water, a brush, and maybe some soap depending on how dirty it is. Then I dry it off LIKE A NORMAL PAN and heat a little oil in it again to keep it from rusting. The only thing you need to do different than a normal pan is get some oil on it and heat it up after washing. It’s a ferrous metal so it’ll rust if it isn’t protected.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators)⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cinny hates me. Failed to load module xapp-gtk3-module and then unable to complete frame buffer.

  Screenshots look nice though!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators)⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Revolt isn’t federated, encrypted, has no video chat, claims privacy but that claim seems to be simply because they are based in Europe. The layout is nice and ui is better than element but that’s the only upside i see. I hate the matrix client ui’s and chat sorting options.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: You can browse reddit with a VPN by using RedLib⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Preparing for the new America⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I pulled my copy paste from the holocaust encyclopedia. …ushmm.org/…/martin-niemoeller-first-they-came-fo…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Preparing for the new America⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

  Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

  Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

  Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good to exercise at home instead of gym?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally the home workout route never worked for me. I’m sure there are a ton of people that it has worked for but I need a routine. Having a set time to go to the gym without distraction is really what broke through.

  It your looking for apps to track progress check out fitnotes for exercise tracking and OmNom Notes for diet tracking. Took me a while to find good non sleazy apps
