Did you know that the only part of yourself you can kiss in the mirror is your lips?
Don’t ask me how I know.
Ooh, I’m torn. They’re both NES “games” - Rocky & Bullwinkle had sluggish controls, awful hitboxes, and I can only describe its graphics AND sound design as offensive. That said, at least it technically played like a game. Where’s Waldo didn’t even have that. I think Where’s Waldo is the worst, but it’s close.
The “AI” garbage on the horizon finally did it for me. I’ve been using Windows for 30-some-odd years (and DOS before that) and it always had a quirk or two but it mostly just worked, and that was enough for me. Hell, I even jumped on Win 11 when it was still in Insider Preview, just because I wanted the latest. And despite everyone always complaining about 11, for the most part, it did for me as Windows has always done - it just worked, so if it ain’t broke, why fix it?
Not that I hated Linux, I just always seemed to have an excuse. “Oh, the last time I tried to install it I was stuck at a CLI” sure, almost 20 years ago. “Well, I’m a huge gamer and Linux just doesn’t have the support”, “Man, KDE Plasma on the Steam Deck runs great and looks a lot like a fresh Windows install… ahhh, it’d be such a pain to migrate though.”
Anyway, I set up Arch on a “dual boot” partition a couple weeks ago I say “dual boot” because I haven’t booted into Windows in a week. Feels good, man. I should have done it sooner.
I will say though, if any other potential Windows refugees are reading… Migrate your Steam library to an ext4/btrfs/other Linux partition. You can successfully mount your Windows NTFS partitions. You might even be able to get them to mount as read/write. You might even be able to get Steam to read the directories! But it’s not worth the headache, and in my experience it’s a lot easier to get Windows to mount a btrfs partition. My Windows install is the last NTFS partition on my system, and I’ll keep it around for a while in case I run into something that just won’t play nice with Linux, but that’s it.
+1 for FitGirl the GOAT! I wish I had money to throw her way, because the work she’s doing is great and I hope she can keep it up for a long time to come.
HONK if you HONK

Where is wereralph when we really need him?
No, that’s potage. You’re thinking of a mixture, often of incongruous elements.
I had originally written that, but I went and looked it up and it actually is “this”. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
DREAMS ARE MADE OF THIS, WHO AM I TO DISAGREE
At the bottom of the article, under “Can I opt out?”:
If you choose to opt out, please note that on March 5th, 2024 you will lose access to Cross Progression, My Rewards, and RED Forums, and all connected data will be permanently deleted.
Again, it’s not a deal breaker for me, and not nearly as bad as needing an account to even play, but I felt it was at least worth bringing up.
it’s optional for some cosmetic rewards
Don’t get me wrong, it’s better than requiring the account to play the game, but it’s still kind of a disappointing move.
I had a really neat idea about playing a changeling bladesinger who most likely pretended to be elven to learn the art, although I did have a not-quite-RAW idea about the old switched-at-birth changeling myth, where his elven “parents” would have taught him before he slipped up and they realized what he was.
He was actually three characters in one: a mostly nondescript human “bard”, spinning extremely tall tales about a mysterious elven bladesinger who doled out vigilante justice at night (also the changeling), and the changeling himself, who hated the way people looked at his true form, would only have revealed it to the party if he had no other choice, and really just wanted to be a hero in a group of adventurers, doing the kind of stuff he made up and sang about in taverns.
I came up with this concept a few years ago, but even before COVID I was kind of my group’s forever DM, so even if I ended up at a gaming table again soon I probably wouldn’t get to play it, so if you like it, feel free to use it. You cannot steal what is gifted!
This has been my past four or five weekends. Can’t make myself do anything. It’s maddening.
I am ALWAYS interested in Oscar lore. Thank you for sharing.
When I was younger, I’d be mortified. Now? “If into the archives you go, only pain will you find.” You didn’t have to look, so that’s on you, my dude.
In hindsight, I wish I had better to offer than an Imgur album, but the tl;dr version is he allegedly sent dick pics to a 12 year old shortly before Loss was posted. Some more conspiracy minded folks believe that it may have been a smokescreen to distract from his real life actions, but I don’t have any proof of that and I’d personally like to believe he isn’t that heinous.
While I will agree that a miscarriage is tragedy and I feel for his wife, Tom Broccoli doesn’t deserve your sympathy, friend.
Brand recognition bay-bee!
We live in hell.
