But every day ends wi… oh. OH.

Thrift stores are your friend for bluray and dvd players.

Tape Decks can be aquired there too, but are a bit more prone to damage in the components.

About a year ago, I started buying DVD’s from thrift stores. I rip them all and put them on my Plex server. I recently aquired a Bluray player and starting to collect those too. Since those take up MUCH more diskspace, I only watch bluray with the physical disk (storage in Europe is unfortunately more expensive than in the USA)

I also started collecting CD’s again (mostly from thrift stores too). I rip these to FLAC and also put them on my Plex.

The beauty of this system for me is that I still have to physically flip through stuff to build my collection. Since it takes up physical space, I limit myself to stuff I actually really want to see/listen to. But by digitizing it, I have the advantage of having acces to that curated content everywhere. The added timesink of ripping and metadata correcting gives me more satisfaction and appreciation for what I bought. A sense of pride and accomplishment, if you will.

So I buy Physical to make sure the collection stays curated and manageable, but digitize most of it for the convenience.

Due to the appreciation of my collection, I now watch more movies and listen to more music than when I had acces to netflix or Spotify.

My Synology NAS has 512 MB of ram. She won’t be winning any races, but she’s a fine beauty. Hits NAS with a wrench

Got big Mad Men vibes from this.

Maybe we should have like a yearly event for this. Like a holiday. International Linux Year Day.

I just stuck a few ubiquity access points all around the house. Works great, office-grade stuff.

How would you suggest a firm to investigate wrongdoings other than asking a third party to do it?

My point is that checkers actually still is very mich complex. Tictactoe is not and every board position can reasonably be managed by a human.

With checkers, that is unfeasable. That’s why I am of the opinion that checkers is unfairly treated as “the simple game” when for humans it is far from simple.

It really is an insult for checkers as a game. It is a common misconception that it’s simple. The game has surprising amount of depth, and the saying “x is playing chess while y is playing checkers” should really die.

X is playing chess while Y is playing tictactoe would be a better analogy.

I think computers can get slow when they are downloading shit in the background. Windows Updates have messed up performance on my work laptop many times. (Probably due to lack of ram)

I think it might just be a coincidence. I believe GPU drivers are updated fairly regular (like, monthly?), so it’s most likely that everytime you had a slowdown on your computer for whatever reason, there happened to be an update ready. Corrolation =/= causation. Even if it happened many times to you.

Others have stated that the restarting after driver install most likely “fixed” your pc everytime.

Unless you have free power and filament, wouldn’t it be cheaper to buy specific Lego bricks?

Unless it’s just for the heck of it obviously. Then print away :p.

Hmm interesting. DE is definately the better port, and minimum requirements were an intel 4000 chip, so I figured it would run on most laptops by now.

I guess you could always download the original from Archive.org. you would need to patch some stuff (I recall the water textures not working well on modern hardware) but should still work :)

Basically all the classics from yesteryear… Check GOG for some great vintage games:

• Rollercoaster Tycoon
• Age of Empires II definitive edition
• Sims 1/2
• Neverwinter Nights

Also check out myabandonware.com. Many free legal old games, some of which are great.

Some more “recent” titles:

• Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
• Portal /Portal 2
• Binding of Isaac
• Vanpire Survivor Many, Many other indie games

Also check out anything 3rd party released for Nintendo Switch. Most of those pc counterparts would probably run on a laptop.

If you’re into emulating, SNES, GBA and N64 classics can be played.

Works mostly great. Addons like uBlock Origin and Super Agent (auto reject all cookies) is great for your mobile experience.

I noticed Youtube site sometimes has weird framerates. But since Google removed premium lite subscription, I refuse to use the Youtube app and just view with uBlock in browser, even with the framerate issues.

I really think the weapon durbility system is a mindset problem. It’s the same problem with any rpg where at the end of the game you have hundreds of unused potions “just in case”. Don’t get me wrong, it is still on the designers to change a players mindset about items.

But I found myself enjoying BotW and TotK waaaay more when I switched to: “I don’t care about my weapons, everything is expendable”

I think I played the first chapter about 6 times. Everytime around the time I rescued the waterdavian creatures I get bored.
