Yeah, and all the screenshots are just black boxes full of text!

What is linux? I’ve heard of it, but when I search the Microsoft store, but all I see are a bunch of black Notepad looking apps. I’ve heard it is free. Is there a paid one with no ads? How much are the add-ons? How do I play Fortnite if it’s all just text? I’m so confused.
Is what I would say if I weren’t also a Linux user.

I invented a device called ‘Burger on the Go’. It allows you to obtain 6 regular size hamburgers, or 12 sliders, from a horse without killing the animal. George Foreman is still considering it. Sharper Image is still considering it. Sky Mall’s still considering it. Hammacher Schlemmer is still considering it. Sears said no.
- Comment on a loose recreation of a dream ive had 1 week ago:
I had to recreate a dream I had in Snagit one time. It was about me, back in college, but I was part of a frat. I had to take care of the house’s dog. It was a brown scruffy looking thing, in the dingy basement of the house. He came up to me wanting pets. The whole back half of the dog was missing! Just spine and organs falling out the back. I’m sitting there trying to shove everything back in. He’s just happy, enjoying the attention. I was freaking out. Thankfully, I woke up. But the memory of Scruffy still sticks with me.

Where have I seen this before? Was it Star Trek TNG? Fringe? X-Files? Man, this is really familiar. I seem to remember it not turning out well for the courier.

I have had Crohn’s for 22 years. I am now on medication that has it controlled, it’s wild. But I feel like I don’t have the bowel strength for formed poops anymore! It’s pretty exhausting going once a day. It’s a whole event. Like a sloth.
- Comment on NVIDIA could enter the desktop CPU market with performance equal to AMD and Intel 3 weeks ago:
I’d take one of those. My P4 is only 3.0 GHz.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 3 weeks ago:
When the games stopped shipping completely on their physical media is when they lost me. So, I guess PS3. To me, a console should be a completely self-contained experience. You want a game? You buy it. It comes on a disc, or cartridge, or HuCard. Doesn’t need to download updates. Doesn’t require the internet. Just pop it in, and boot directly to a game. Immune to digital stores closing, or servers shutting down.
If I have to download 50gb when I bought a game on discord, what are the discs even for? And I would still have to worry about disk space? Man, I’d rather just have a PC.
- Comment on Best modded console for 240p RetroArch gaming on CRT? (Wii vs PS2?) 4 weeks ago:
Having done an IDE Resurrector mod on a slim, I would encourage people to just get a fat.
Also, what advantage does the PSBBN have over just FMCB and OPL?
- Comment on Yes this year is going to be really good and productive 5 weeks ago:
Oh gosh, i did that a couple years ago. We had some people leave, including my manager. I was a lead engineer. I was also leaving, I was promised a position at a 27% increase in salary. But it is a big, international company and their HR was painfully slow at getting me an offer letter. It ended up being 3 weeks from interview to offer. In that time, I just had to sit through several rounds of meetings with the COO, restructuring our group. I was a pivotal part of this plan. Finally, he had the plan finalized. And I got my letter. Handed in my two weeks the same day. No regrets. Love the new place.
Also, that COO wad not an insignificant factor in people leaving.
- Comment on Games you fell out of love with. 5 weeks ago:
Nah. Once you have a good, strong base it turns into a cozy survival game. Make a fort, decorate it with skull lamps and nice furniture. Go out, kill some mutants and dry their limbs for dinner. Plant some blueberries.
- Comment on Games you fell out of love with. 5 weeks ago:
The Forest. Man, I had a fantastic time in that game. Solo, and co-op. But after I beat it with a buddy, and we used the end-game artifact to create an excellent trap and base, it basically lost its appeal. The fun is in the struggle.

Thanks! It definitely elevates a game of Yar’s Revenge.

I made one a few years ago with some arcade parts. It’s a little bulky, but works. And, hopefully, shouldn’t break.

- Comment on Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia? 1 month ago:
If you pretend Star Trek stopped after First Contact, it’s a lot better. I really don’t understand why they keep trying to make new trek, or who is watching it. Who is it for? It’s too fast, too action-y. Too many camera angles. The writing and acting feels like teen drama. Where is the professionalism, the decorum, the reserved nature of Starfleet? And what little humor there should be, should be dry.

I’m not going outside in this weather. Especially if I have to put pants on. They should just send a second driver to pull my Arby’s out of the burning wreckage and finish the delivery without me having to tell them.
- Comment on i mean 1 month ago:
Wtf is that controller? Some kind of new-fangled wireless abomination? That’s not original hardware. And, since it is new, why did they put no effort into fixing the joystick? You’re just going to get a floppy dick stick in a few years with it anyway.

- Comment on Your teenager AND your husband 1 month ago:
I used to be dreadfully underweight before my Crohn’s was under control. I tried to squeeze in calories wherever I could. Most of the time, I had meal replacement shakes with my meals. Then, I found meds that worked for me and my eating habits backfired. Every now and then, I may slip back to my old ways by following out a loaf of bread and filling it with a container of Nutella and eating the entire thing in one sitting. Hence why I am now 246lbs.
