Jk, good for her. I don’t envy her life at all though, meandering about the university grounds drunk or stoned with friends was some of the best nights of my life.
Could be. If 17 year old me had chosen my life trajectory I’d be having a bad time. Hopefully she has better advisors and plans that don’t have her chasing achievements as a way of life. Or an insatiable infatuation with chasing achievements. That can be a way of life too, just not one I’d want.
The American system of government is the blame game. For example, few people seem to remember that during Obama’s 8 years in office he had the government for 10 months.
During the 86 other months Republicans exploited that by simultaneously stonewalling everything while going to the media and questioning why the democrats aren’t doing more for the American people. It is a masterfully effective underhanded tactic.
I also agree that everyone should vote. When more people vote, regardless of political affiliation, democrats win bigger. I don’t know why that is true, but it is. So yes, everyone vote!
Is it just me that dislikes when packages are mentioned instead of a series of terminal commands? I don’t want to install a package. Why would I want to rely on a package and it’s maintainer when I could write a shell script using the tools native to my OS?
I have no critique of anyone’s preference. I joined the linux board looking for discussions on novel ways to use the system.
Since I haven’t found that here, I thought I’d add a comment to see if it’s just me. And I wanted to check to see if there is an alternative forum for such conversations.
Maybe a shell, bash, scripting, or man page community. Idk.
(jk, hell doesn’t exist, the idea of an afterlife is a placating tactic devised by religious heads to get people to accept a subservient life so they can enjoy paradise in the next one, which doesn’t exist, but you’re dead by then so, mission accomplished. it had it’s place in the times when it was founded to create order but in the modern era it turns people into subservient cattle for the system. wait, is this a Wendy’s? again??)
Um sir or madam, I believe Bugs Bunny said it does, in case you missed that.
Have you seen what he is capable of? Have you witnessed the trauma of Elmer Fudd? You’re treading on thin ice, I would advise that you exercise caution for your own sake.
Have a win 7 mouseless laptop I’d like to put a game on and play for funs. Typically my go to game for olden computers is Heroes of Might and Magic 3 or maybe Civ 4. Any recommendations?...
Dwarf Fortress LNP is free and doesn’t require a mouse 😉 It requires a special type of insanity to learn, but the rewards are WELL worth it.
Here is a video of a drainable/refillable moat I made.
The quick transitions are Z-axis movement, you can only view one full Z-axis at a time. Dwarves go down so you’ll be diving into the depths of hell. Oh, and don’t mine the mithril tube unless you want to experience “fun”. No further spoilers. 😁
If you don’t want to learn the ascii, LNP comes with a few toggleable tilesets you can swap between, I personally just prefer the ascii. Once you can see it, it’s like being able to see the Matrix.
Well, I’m not glad I’m not gay, I just mean to say… okay explaining is just gonna make it worse. I was just trying to meme. Please don’t send me to gayjail.
Shell sold millions of carbon credits for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions that never happened, allowing the company to turn a profit on its fledgling carbon capture and storage project, according to a new report by Greenpeace Canada....
Maybe it wasn’t Risa. I could be getting it mixed up. Anyway the planet in the ep I named is the one where eveyone is hot and almost naked, Wesley breaks a greenhouse and they go to lethally inject him and Picard is like, “Hold on bro he’s a shit but if anyone is going to kill Wesley it’s going to be me.”
I may have taken some liberties with the story but that’s basically it.
Era can be defined as a console generation, a decade, one specific year, whatever you want. I’d encourage you to give a list of your favourite games from the generation of choice and why it was the best to you. Nostalgia is a totally viable reason too....
Okay, below the “=” is my previous answer but I admit it was against the spirit of the post so let me think. I choose the years from the launch of EverQuest to Shadows of Luclin. I consider EverQuest to be the greatest MMO ever made. So my answer is 1999-2002.
To this day I STILL play servers locked at the 2002 version of EverQuest. It’s very populated. That should tell you something.
=====================================
Got my first console in 89. First PC in 99.
My choice is current year, because it encompasses every year before and the amount of emulator projects is greater than it’s ever been.
I can make any system from history with a Saturday of effort.
Plus all the indie games that capture the retro feel. Idk, gaming is in a great spot if you don’t bother with big studios.
EQ Live is still populated. But the version I play is called p99, it’s a free to play passion project by former players who took the source and run their own custom servers.
The most popular custom servers just happen to be the ones locked at 2002.
pQuarm is the new kid on the block. A server that will lock at PoP.
The community is the best of any MMO I’ve ever played. If people find out you are new, it’s not guaranteed, but likely benefactors will find gear to donate to you. Largely because the game is HARD. It’s old school MMO. No hand holding. Press the wrong button and attack your own city guard. Hail the wrong demigod and they kill you for bothering them. Dying is often a huge deal (not at first). All that said, difficulty like that breeds community, and the community is like no other game that exists.
DM me and I’ll either be a guide for you or direct you to some friends of mine who can recommend starter guilds and such for you. I know quite a few players on p99Green and pQuarm.
Two kinds of people.

I suffered to get where I am, no one should have to go through that, we can do better.
2
I suffered to get where I am, everyone should suffer like I did.
The conservative mindset is #2, “No one should have it better than me!”
I grew up hearing all the talking heads (media), religious groups and parents strongly criticizing video games. You’ve, probably, heard some of this. For example, video games involving any type of violence causing people to become more violent, etc. As far as I know, the academic community has failed to produce any negative...
Percentage of gross annual earnings from the year of the crime.
0-100% sliding scale decided by a judge based on crime severity.
Let the public veto the fine (back to a new judge) via referendum if they deem it too lenient. Rinse and repeat. Let the public get some punches in because corps have been swinging down at us for over a century.
The fact that this is “too democratic” to be realistic is a sign of the times, imo.
