I’m playing the last of us part 2. Finished part 1 last week and enjoyed it so much i jumped straight into part 2. I think I’m about half way into it. I’ve somehow managed to mostly avoid spoilers - I have a vague idea what happens but I still don’t really know how it’s going to end. Damn, what a story.

Too little too late. They’re right tho

Yeah. And this shit exists not only because someone wanted to do it and did it - but they went out of their way to film it for the enjoyment of others.

5D chess. It’s all part of the plan. . . or something. Oh look - a scary immigrant!

Yeah, it’s attention seeking, really. It’s not hard to feel a bit sorry for them.

It was a more innocent time.

I’m kinda hoping valve waits for component costs to calm down before releasing it - otherwise I could see the price making it DOA.

So I made the jump to Linux a few weeks ago - I used to use it a lot in the 90s but I’ve forgotten pretty much everything so I listened to the general advice and went with mint. I’d recommended it. So far it’s been great, had anticipated issues with my drivers but nothing I couldn’t sort out in the GUI. There are distro options out there that will give you fewer issues - but if you like problem solving and wanted to challenge yourself, enjoy!

Similar vein to forbidden snacks was don’t put your dick in that. Yeah I miss the niche subs too, don’t miss the rest of the bullshit tho.

E. Ask historians was also high grade.

**PRESS RELEASE **

I have done some gardening this morning. I now intend to finish my cup of tea, take a shit, and play some computer games. My day off is proceeding normally. Further details to follow.

Personally, I’d be happy to see more users, particularly in the niche groups which are often dead as a dead thing. I don’t want the bots tho, and I’m thinking that gen AI has probably made the fuckers pretty plausible and hard to identify.

So a couple of weeks ago I finally had enough of windows and put linux mint on my laptop instead. I haven’t used linux since the early 90s and couldn’t remember much at all, was concerned I’d have trouble with drivers etc.

In fact the whole experience was a piece of piss. So easy. There were no urgent-seeming pop ups with arcane terms, no crashes or problems, I didn’t need to use the command prompt.

Then I was able to find and install the programmes I use easily too. Slack, steam, etc. Within maybe an hour I was able to do my work on the computer again. I kinda feel like I got my laptop back - windows was getting so buggy and aggravating that I had been avoiding using the machine.

If Linux wants a future in which it continues to grow, it needs to do more of this, appealing to the casual, non-technical user. Because we probably represent most of the market.
