  OK this is pretty good news. I did not have fun trying to mod PoE. In the end I found a guide that showed me how to use UnityModManager, launch it with proton, choose DoorStopProxy then launch with the winhttp override option. Have no idea how ppl figure this stuff out.

  I have decided that now is the time, finally, to read those Buffy and Angel comics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft’s controversial Windows Recall feature is coming back in October⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can see the use case, and that some people might find this useful (not to mention many agencies and ad companies). But enough was enough, for me at least. Linux Mint rocks. Can’t see myself going back to Windows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games popularized certain mechanics?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder what the source of the RTS conventions was. Ctrl num for making groups. Double press to centre on group. X for scattering units. A to stop them. Pretty sure these predate C&C but the only one before that I can think of is dune.

  He was part of giant bomb - video game podcast, videos and website. He became the “blinking white guy” meme.

  Seems like a cool guy - super chill and constantly curious.

  It will never stop being weird seeing Drew in memes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux Mint 22 released: An attractive option for migrating away from Windows | Windows 11 system requirements block millions of PCs from upgrading, while Linux Mint continues to work on older hardware⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just did a timeshift then upgraded and it went perfectly. Had to disable a ppa but the upgrader even did that for me.

  I only recently came over from Windows and am very impressed - most Windows upgrades go less smoothly than this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is there a set top media player that doesn't require an online account?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think this is the use case for Kodi, if you have local media. If you also want multiple device sync without hassle, then Plex, but this is an online account. I hear good things about Jellyfin, which is a FOSS alternative to Plex.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cannabis legalisation hampered by most German of substances: red tape⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like a cool scheme. I get their concerns about drug tourism - hope the dust settles soon as we can see some data on the impact of the club system getting up and running.

  I just meant I was surprised that an award winning writer and producer has ringle levels of time

  She is a lot less busy than I would have thought.

  Yes. Adam something pointed this out two years ago: youtu.be/CQJgFh_e01g

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best VPS for gramps⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think a small linode is 12 bucks a month, and putting cloud flare in front it is free. Can add some s3 storage for a few more bucks too. They also have a free firewall you can use outside of the VMs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why did there need to be a vote?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  amending the constitution of Australia requires a referendum in which the proposed amendment must be approved by a “double majority”: a majority of voters nationwide and a majority of voters in a majority of states.

  I might recommend stopping at season 10. Shit goes downhill fast after that 😓

  Well that was cool.

  I uh. Don’t know how I thought this. But I just realised I thought the first windows was 3.11

  Whoa. Thats messed up

  Is Brisbane this bad? Have heard of syd, melb and cbr being like this but somehow assumed things were netter up north.

  Hades it turns is quite beatable with a bow even if your reflexes are not great. And Control for whne i need more chill.

  And for some reason I cannot kick my decade long Nhl habit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Parents Upset Over New Nintendo Console - Super Nintendo - Circa 1991⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  dude I remember this outrage. Kind of funny that we now expect some inter-generational compatability from our consoles. I guess it’s less scary for the platform holder now that most sales are digital.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What game feels 'timeless' to you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Uniracers for the Snes still looks, sounds and plays great. It’s like a 2d Tony hawk racing game with unicycles.

  Those advanced ones seem useful. I ran into problems with threading that seem like they would have been solved by using locks
