Though it is also true that Linux is gratis and Windows is not.

Skin bandits?

Huh. TIL that italic emoji are a thing.

…I don’t know why that’s surprising to me, since they’re just Unicode, but it is.

It also helps that Steam sales are nowhere near as good as they used to be. I don’t even remember the last time I saw a 90+% discount, but there was a time when they’d pop up regularly during the winter sale.

But yeah, these days my standard for even considering a purchase is “will I play it right now?”

Connect very slightly cuts off the bottom of the image for me.

Sushi is supposed to be bite-sized. In my experience this is not always the case in practice, but the idea is that you should just pop the whole thing in your mouth.

IMO the early game exploration rush is the best part. Anomalies and archaeological digs give that great Star Trek vibe that kind of goes away once everyone is settled into their borders.

I believe the g palatalizes the n, so it’s more like nyok-key.

Way too many people don’t understand how marginal tax rates work.

Yeah, my mom used to work for an organization called ARC, which pointedly hasn’t been an acronym since the early '90s.

Wait, isn’t she druish?

On the other side [Wayland] is buggy af.

I’ve been having the exact opposite problem since recently coming back to Linux after a long hiatus. For me, Wayland has been flawless, while anything x11 looks like somebody ran the screen through a shredder, discarded half the strips, and smooshed the rest back together.

I don’t know how to troubleshoot that. I don’t even know what to type in a search engine to get relevant results.

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of hard drives speeding down the highway.

I’ve been having a good time with Heart of the Machine, in which you play as a nascent AI figuring out how to survive in a sprawling cyberpunk city.

First OS on a computer I personally owned? Windows 98. First Linux distro was Source Mage.

If not counting ownership, then Apple IIs at school and then slightly later my family got an Amstrad that was primarily a DOS machine, but could also boot (by switching floppies several times) to some sort of GUI.

The friggin’ cakes are turning the frogs gay!

Mediocre movie, best Daft Punk music video.

Go for the eyes, Boo!

These were octagonal in my school.
