- Comment on Cross-platform Nexus Mods app expands Baldur's Gate 3 support plus further UI improvements 1 week ago:
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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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
