I genuinely think the author just put those two together because they knew everyone was expecting Harr-mione to happen. Tried to subvert expectations.

That would be great, but unfortunately for me I have too many programs that depend on windows, don’t have Linux options, and if I’m being honest with myself I really just don’t want to learn an entirely new ecosystem. I will if forced, but the moment this laptop shits itself or they discontinue support for the OS, I’m getting a crash course.

I’d love to turn an old tablet or somethinf into a Linux device in the meantime so I can at least start something. Too bad my parent’s old kindles won’t work, there’s enough of them laying around their house…

Oh fuck yeah gimme that customization and personalization options

I used to use a program on one of my computers called rainmeter I think, and it allowed me to customize my desktop to look like the Animus menus from Assassin’s creed 2. Then decided to go with hexagons everywhere, with the replacement start menu dead center screen and other buttons areayed out from there.

Haven’t used it in many years, but I’d love that level of customization* on a pc nowadays. It seems like no matter where I go, every UI looks the same. Good for familiarity, not so much for “oh this is neat, they made it their own” factor.

*without learning entire programming languages, I hyperfixate on things but programming has never been something I’ve been able to get into

I just bought a laptop last year (portability and space constraints, I’d love to build a pc when I have the space for it) and it was supposed to come with windows 10.

I got a windows 11 model shipped to me. I didn’t ask for this. And I have to say… I fucking hate it. Why does the start menu need to change locations…

My next computer will absolutely be Linux, and it’s Microsoft’s own stupid fault. Windows 10 WAS supposed to be my last windows OS…

Depends on what I’m playing.

I can comfortably play some games down to 12fps ±3ish, if it isn’t something that’s fast paced.

I have yet to play anything where I’m skilled enough for higher than 30fps to matter response-wise, and while I can notice the difference between 60fps and 240fps on my monitor, I gotta say it doesn’t do much for me.

Maybe I just don’t know what to look for, what I’m missing, or how to set up my laptop right, but who knows. My eyes could be stuck on 720p for all I know.

Why does Sony always feel like you could replace anything they say with “You should consider yourself lucky we allow you to play our games.”

“When you are of working age and you have no more days off this week”

FTFY

No need for pointless generational divides, we’re all exhausted from this hell life.

I would like that, the structure would not.

For now all I have is a dragon tree that needs extra attention I need advice on, and an aloe plant.

Saturday was really warm here, like “t-shirt and jeans weather” warm.

I was in the middle of walking between buildings when the clouds broke.

I immediately turned toward the sun and for one, shining moment, I channeled the spirit of Solaire of Astoria. For a brief moment, I was so grossly incandescent.

I decided “fuck this I’m going home and practicing archery.” so I stood out in the sun for an hour and a half until the sun dipped below the trees.

I really need to get one of those full spectrum light panels that helps with seasonal affective disorder, or like a vitamin d lamp or something. It doesn’t help that my current residence has no windows, so all light is artificial and to get any sun I have to actually go outside.

“no you don’t understand! People need to suffer because muh big gubment!”

The sentence that was handed down based on the evidence should be served by the fabricators. And because punishment for the poors is extremely disproportionate (snatching $20 from a counter is not deserving of a year in prison) I say add 20% to the sentence, minimum.

Make them serve 18 years, minimum. Of course, their choices are solitary for their protection or Gen-pop.

A MAGAt would eat his own shit if he knew a WoKe LibRuL would have to smell it

I still haven’t gotten anything for my family, and I have no idea what to get anyone either. I don’t know what anyone likes anymore. And honestly I’m just getting tired of Christmas in general. I don’t have the energy to pretend that I care about it anymore. I don’t want to visit people. I just want to be left alone with nobody putting ridiculous social expectations on me.

I don’t have advice, but you should know you aren’t alone in your feelings.

That screeching noise you hear is the sound of them backtracking, hard.

killing a cop

Weird how one civilian killing another somehow has a different meaning just because of the jobs they work. Seems pretty fucking stupid if you ask me. If it was going to be a harsher penalty(,) then I’d expect it to be a(n) actually beneficial job that people should respect like a pediatrician or janitor.

(edited for grammar)

She assaulted me directly, and since my wrist is in an ace wrap, obviously it was a savage attack.

Why isn’t she being arrested on my word alone?

Oh right, because we live in completely different worlds where the rich and politicians get extremely preferential treatment up to and including literal fucking treason without repercussions.

If it’s enough to arrest a woman in Florida, it should be enough here.

As always, some people see Jurassic Park as inspiration and wonder why nobody gave Hammond a chance.

The rest of us know that Dr. Malcolm was right from the start.

I thought that was the expectation?

They introduced us to a younger Witcher that the Geralt was training, Geralt’s story came to an end…

It felt like that’s what they were intentionally setting up, a totally Ciri-focused next game.
