I’m Sol.Orion on SJW, but I’ll likely not use that account anymore.
I’m bad at it, but it’s fun. Also, surprisingly cheap to get a hobbyist setup for it. Pretty much all the tools needed comes in under $300. I’m very much not doing it the historical way- I have a propane forge. You can definitely rig up a charcoal forge with a pipe and a blower of some kind for basically the cost of some fire bricks, a pipe, and a hair dryer. I started out like that and it was a pain in the ass- kept getting too hot.
Honestly there’s hobbies that could also make number go up. I took up blacksmithing with the full intent to make money doing it. I still haven’t, but I’m having fun lol
Amazon Mechanical Turk, maybe? I’ve never done it before, but I know people do make money on it.
It’s an anti-piracy/homebrew feature. Realistically, nobody is using that for cheating.
Ooooh, okay, now I understand. I was referring to the way modern consoles blow a fuse with each new patch so you can’t load older patches.
But yeah, the PS3 removed the ability to boot Linux which it was explicitly advertised to have and it was a huge thing at the time.
…oh? I thought every console used this kind of tech as well.
It’s just a joke/saying. Not meant to be taken literally.
yeah, if you hear the bullet it wasn’t aimed at you.
No clue. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was technically outside of hearing safe, but it’s not actively uncomfortable to shoot. It’s a single shot bolt action so I’m not gonna do long term hearing damage fast lol.
Ehhh, you probably could if you weren’t extremely close and it was the right firearm.
There’s a lot of variation between different guns when it comes to volume- even the same caliber can be dramatically quieter out of a long barrel. I own a .22lr rifle that’s entirely fine to shoot without ear protection, and a .22lr revolver that’s definitely not fine to shoot without ear protection.
What I’m getting at is 12ga is fucking loud, even by gun standards. In an enclosed space? I bet you had tinnitus for awhile.
Ah, got cease and desisted. I see. I still think Stoat is a weird choice, but fair enough.
Stoat.
That’s, uh… that’s a decision.
Proton is just a compatibility layer to make Linux run Windows games.
Normally if you install a game via Steam Proton just kind of works.
https://github.com/Open-Wine-Components/umu-launcher should let you use Proton without using Steam.
And yeah, you want the entire folder titled ‘Dispatch.’
Linux won’t really recognize .exes. Those are a Windows thing, so you have to run them via some sort of compatibility software like Proton or WINE.
Get the files transferred from what? Your Win11 laptop? Because it’s reasonably likely that the files won’t work properly if transferred- Windows executables don’t just work on Linux.
Also what games specifically are you trying to play? For BG3 you’ll probably need to find the Linux version or get Proton set up. For TotK you can probably use most of the same files, but you’ll need a new emulator install. There’s roughly a thousand Switch emulators so pick your poison and following the install instructions.
Weeks? Fucking how? I work at a post office and today our OIC was running around with her hair on fire because the mail was three days late on one route.
They don’t even need to understaff them, that shit is all automated these days. Just manufacture a breakdown and voila.
Some very interesting roguelikes in this, thanks for bringing them to my attention!
I’ll leave the keys to others, though. Merry Christmas!
“I don’t believe in germ theory,” she said, “I don’t believe in contagion,”
Ah, yes, I agree. It’s definitely the four humors that actually cause disease. “Covid-19” is just caused by a build up of phlegm. I just haven’t figured out why the build up of phlegm spreads from person to person… hmmm.
Unless you get consent, then it’s chill in all jurisdictions.
