Oh, goodness, this is the first time I’ve ever heard about Invidious. So my imagination jumped the gun and I didn’t give this gorgeous visual revamp the credit that it’s due! Thanks for your hard work!

Oh, this looks pretty promising!

Any idea of how much they’ve shared a roadmap? I’d love to see if they have goals to integrate other video platforms like PeerTube to make it more than just an alternative YouTube front-end.

For some reason I expected them to show up, take the exam, and then leave in a single episode. But, I’m really curious to see how this goes now that they’ve set up several interesting looking characters. I just hope poor Stark doesn’t die of boredom 😂

Oh my goodness, the exact same thing happened with me and Guild Wars 2!!! 😱

I was a teenager at the time and my family burned logs to keep the house warm in winter. My Dad upgraded the smoke detectors so that they were all linked. In other words, if one alarm went off in the basement (where the wood burner was) then every detector in the house would go off.

This sounds great in theory, but in reality it turns out that the detectors would go off on a near weekly basis. Whenever someone tossed logs in the burner and smoke escaped. We got desensitized to the beeping and it became second nature to just cancel the alarm when it happened.

Fast forward to the closed beta for Guild Wars 2 and I was up late, trying to play every possible minute that I could before the weekend was over. My door was closed, headphones on, and I was REALLY immersed.

The smoke detector started beeping. And it kept beeping over and over and over. Normally, at this point my parents would’ve cancelled it. That kind of struck me as odd, so I opened my door.

Ruh roah, raggy.

A wall of smoke was on the other side of the door. And the smell was NOTHING like the usual wood burner smell. It really hurt to breathe and my eyes were not having a good time either.

After shaking my Dad awake, we called the fire department, got all the animals out, and nobody got hurt. The damage was serious, but the entire house didn’t go up. The upstairs needed rebuilt and there was a fair bit of smoke damage.

I don’t want to think about what would’ve happened if I wasn’t up playing that closed beta 😅

Wait, I thought X4 improved after its rocky launch and a lot of people gave it praise? (Although I recall that it was super clunky and the AI was quite rough)

With what I’ve been through, I’m beginning to wonder if OP is telling the truth 😂

About 7 years ago I got a call from some random lady in her 70s. Turns out her husband passed away not long ago and every computer in the house had Linux Mint installed. She needed someone to help her with some various simple techy things that her husband used to handle.

I couldn’t help but wonder how this random lady got my phone number. Turns out that one day, my Grandfather went on a walk down the road and this lady was outside tending to her garden. I have no clue how the conversation shifted to the topic of Linux, but it did. And my Grandpa knew I was in college for Computer Science, so he just volunteered me for this task.

Fast forward to today and I still help her out once or twice a year with whatever random questions pop up.

If you’re someone who enjoys buying software once and owning it, Wonderdraft and Dungeondraft have been really wonderful to use in my experience!
