So hold on a minute - does this mean there might be some truth to the whole “eat your fallen enemy to gain experience” thing? That’s wild.

Yes

Thanks lol. Now I feel even older

My man.

Thank you. It’s been decades since I remembered this - and laughs are a little hard to come by right now. ❤️

It sounds sorta familiar to me, but I can’t place it either.

Man that is wild. I had no idea the hatch was that easy to open

If that’s the only barrier, you should try again. It’s further along than you think. Thanks in large part to the Steam Deck, compatibility is miles better. I have run into 2 games since I switched 1.5 years ago that won’t run - both are EA titles (shocked Pikachu face). That was my reason not to switch too.

I have life insurance on both my kids - pretty much like the rest of you it’s small and meant as funeral cost coverage. The side benefit is that it’s whole life, so when they get old enough for me to sign it over to them, there’s some cash value they can have instead if they want.

I think I got constipated viewing that image

Nope, but the screenshots look pretty promising. Thanks for the tip, will check it out

Lol are you me?

I kept trying to run Linux and windows, both in dual-boot and separate system form, and always crutched my way back to windows. My largest excuse was gaming.

Once Valve proved gaming on Linux is possible via the Steam Deck, I was officially out of excuses. I formatted c: and installed Pop_OS and forced myself to learn it. The only thing I miss, and not even that much, is MS Office apps. There are perfectly serviceable productivity apps for Linux but none feel as comfortable (yet).

It’s been about a year, and I am finding myself copy/pasting a little less than at the beginning and becoming more comfortable and knowledgeable every day. Taking the nuclear option isn’t for everyone, but it worked for me.

Between the sunset theme and my exported pixel pal at the top of my screen, it’s been a pretty comforting experience so far coming from Apollo. Definitely rough around the edges but has potential.
