Just started a playthrough of Black Mesa the other week after having played HL1 like fuck idk, 18 years ago? Barely remember it, but going through the levels I’m like “Oh yeah I remember this part, with the mine cart/train thingies”

Looked at screenshots of HL1 the other day and laughed that I will never play it ever again

Lmfao yes, case in point.

But I’m going ahead and trying to sift through all the info I’m getting here, and so far I’m getting the idea that what ever I start with should at least have the word Mint

Okay yeah, 2 other comments suggested Mint, I’ll look into it

And thanks for letting me know about protondb, sounds promising!

The problem is there are a billion versions of linux, idk what one to choosex idk if i can play my steam games on linux, everyone who talks about linux seems to be a programmer /coder, and uses jargon that i don’t even understand, so idk if I’ll even be able to USE linux. And if I ask any questions I feel like it’s all gonna end up sounsing like another language to me.

The whole idea of moving to linux is overwhelming.

But I’m starting to hate windows 11. And fuck Apple all together.

Amazing

Who is buying all these Teslas that Tesla owners are all selling because nobody wants a Tesla?

Oh yeah buddy, been using swiftkey for idk 6 years but I’m not in the habit of using it most of the time because half the words I swipe come out the wrong word 😄

Yep, got big hands myself and own an S21+, and the keys on the keyboard are still too fucking small. Sick of correcting nytypos after 10 years, so finally not giving a fuck.

Ironically, i typed this entire comment without a typo, gotta love how that works.

Edit: oh wit, found onr. Guess y’all just gotta deal with ut.

Oh study finds huh, who’da thunk.

Man, thank you, and I appreciate you for taking the time to type all that out. I agree with everything i just read.

Since you mentioned it, you’re right my gf is unfortunately a victim of rape.

I’m gonna remember your tip and use it always.

I’ve lived by that first paragraph my whole life, I just meant how hard it is to not feel like someone is blaming me personally, or including me when they say a thing about men, just because I’m a man too. And btw, I’ve been not involved with that toxic parent since I was 26 (I’m 32 now)

Like idk how to not to let my feelings be hurt that women would rather encounter a bear than me when I’m trying to be the change I want to see in the world.

I talked to my girlfriejd about it and she said “yeah well you’re not one of those men in the scenario, you have no reason to be offended, you’re one of the good ones” and logically I know shes right, and I appreciated hearing that.

I just gotta see how other men keep from getting offended so easily so I can learn from them

Oh

As a man who grew up listening their ever perpetually single mom constantly complain about how all men are shit, this comment is the the influence I need to see more of coming from more people who are also men.

I’m constantly trying to be better all the time. I just feel like I don’t know how not to get offended by generalizations that I know don’t apply to me but the more I see other guys say stuff like what you just said, it kinda helps because just seeing them say it makes me want to adopt that mentality and get out if the one that if I fall under a group that receives criticism my feelings are hurt.

Is gamer a swear word now too?

Of all ages

Okay so since we’re going back to flip phones, can we just get a frickin phone with a button keyboard again??

I just started Talos Principle the other day and this reads like something that computer that keeps arguing with me about personhood would say

I think you have too uhhhh… Download the drivers from the internet

Yeah, and with the style of the few albums I do have on vinyl, the vinyl rexord sound kinda goes with the sound of their subgenre so I do enjoy the vinyl listening experience there, and they do sound different than on Spotify.

But when I own my own copy of an album, I want to remove it from Spotify and have my own copy of it on my own device. So if I’m just doing it to be able to listen to music that I paid for on vinyl on my phone when I’m not home in front of the turntable, then that’s good enough.

I notice now, some new vinyls on Bandcamp come with digital download, which is cool, but not if I bought it at a show.
