Trying to be vague as heck in the spoilers, totally get it! Don’t think there’s anything there that’s super spoilery (I hope!) But definitely play it safe.
Fingers crossed next run, as for the item there’s a
Contraption that’s supposed to do something similar from the description in one of the guide books, so might try that
Yeah, I’ve never had
The wrench spawn, or repellant for that matter, which I don’t know if that’s crafted or from something like the trading post
Definitely up there for the most notes I’ve taken playing a game for a while, some of them aren’t immediately obvious though their usefulness
I’m glad I started tracking the name of each angel for example.
Finally got
The bookstore to spawn again, smashed something in a certain room to get money and bought the remainder out
The back story as I said is probably the thing that kept me going, not 100% there but I needed to know if my own theories were correct.
Edit, also
I kinda wish I hadn’t gone funeral parlour as my parlour upgrade
I did enjoy it and the underlying story kept me going, gotta say after playing it with my partner for a while, the rogue like elements started getting a little grating, especially if you’re looking for extremely specific rooms and get crap RNG (took like 12 days to get a
Bookstore to show up again, even having dice, drafting off a library or secret passage, just refused to show up.
I know there are
ways to manipulate it or influence like the chess puzzle, but my drafts suuuuuucked, just weight rooms and archives constantly or dead ends as my choice. Probably not running an optimal strategy but was kinda hard to do when I had no other options. Would get screwed over constantly trying to power the lab too.
Got tedious/frustrating at times but did overall enjoy it.
Straight arch works great with nvidia cards, gaming was my last hitch too, only thing I really miss is HDR in games, but it’s a tradeoff I’m willing to have (had bad times with gamescope and nvidia, I’m content to leave it alone for now, things change rapidly anyhow)
I’ve had fruit flies before that must have come in on some produce, have to be on it to clear them, leave out any fruit/veg scraps and they come out (out being tossed in the trash/green bin too, anything open air). Drop of dish soap, water and vinegar in a high walled glass or jar is the way to do it, I used balsamic but malt or wine vinegar works too, just leave that out and it’ll do its job.
My current place we jokingly call the spider house, have a bunch of house spiders around (cats love them) and a few orb-weavers, garden and wolf spiders outside, pretty much anything native isn’t a threat to humans or cats, they do a great job of taking out any pests, rarely see flies inside these days. Spiders and centipedes I’ll leave alone, they’re beneficial to have around.
I’ve seen mention that stuff like the odbc connection manager have parts dating back to 3.1
I got the dbrand grip for it with stick grips, it’s actually really nice to hold, certainly better than my switch lite (seriously that thing gives me RSI, really needed something to grip onto.) Which also has a kickstand attachment if you want. It’s overall though very comfortable, I find it better to hold up over propping it up with something, seems to keep it at a more natural angle for me.
I also switched to clicky buttons on mine, it’s definitely a preference but they feel better to me vs the stock ones on my partner’s.
Terminal usage is a tool just like GUI tools, I don’t think it’s helpful either to preload people with the belief that it’s some arcane tool that takes years before you can start using it, like anything you pick it up by doing.
Can’t really say it’s 100% optional as a blanket case either, heavily depends on a user, my work I’ve depended on having a terminal for years, and that was even before I moved into SWE, I’ve seen lots of business developed processes put together as an amalgam of batch files, VBA/VBS, and python because they needed to put something together with what they had rights to.
Be honest that I don’t see the terminal as a barrier to Linux anyhow, for the use case of “I browse the internet and use office programs”, you absolutely do not need to drop to the CLI, at least not for Debian or Mint, can handle installs and updates through their graphical package managers. Most people probably aren’t setting up services or the like on their machines, and if they are they already require terminal usage on any operating system.
Haven’t looked into it but do shops offer lube analysis services? Yeah you could send out your own sample to a lab, having it as a shop service would be way more accessible to people.
Though, in my experience, getting people to commit can be a pain, lots of “yeah I know we have a long p-f interval and it’s super noticeable before it functionally fails, but it’s not that much effort so I’m doing needless maintenance anyhow just in case”, which end of the day you do you.
I’ve used Thunderbird since forever as my go-to client, I used mutt as well for a while and that met my needs pretty well.
I’ve always known your world is complex, working closely with accountants and actuaries the last 4 years doing data applications further confirmed that, there’s some legitimately complex math that shows up, and it’s a lot of work to model that correctly.
“It’s just a …” Is a redflag to me, project’s going to be a gongshow.
I find that mentality of not trying to understand the problem and its context totally counter to the engineering method.
Personally, recommend forgejo, gitlab has a lot of features I didn’t need and I found the upgrade process if you didn’t keep on top of it annoying. Forgejo actions are pretty similar to github ones and setting up runners is super straightforward.
Seen this clip from some american fundie podcast that was… a choice.
This person was asked something like, if you could have world peace, but all governments become socialist, would you do it? They said no and fucking justified their answer with a partial quote from something like Deuteronomy 15:7-11, claiming that well the bible says there’ll always be the poor so socialism is actually bad because of that, and a quick search to see if I could find it there’s a lot of stuff echoing the same stuff, that socialism is unbiblical etc.
What the actual fuck is wrong with these people? I’m irreligious but was raised Christian, this is so vehemently counter to my understanding of Christian teachings (the flavour of which I was raised has atheist ministers so there’s that), which was more or less, raise everyone up, accept everyone for who they are, help people, don’t turn a blind eye to injustice and like just be decent to each other. Was this podcast prosperity doctrine shit or something else because yeah wow, it’s honestly sinister to me.
Yeah, echoing this, I’ve run Linux off of my external nvme enclosure for is testing as well, mitigates the heat and durability issues but was nowhere near the best experience, though it’s supposed to be able to do 10 Gbps so it’s nice in pinch, it’s my rescue and iso drive mainly.
Standard USB keys get toasty as heck just from regular usage, especially the metal bodied ones.
Personally I view SD card installs with a similar level of concern to a USB install, had those crap out with no warning in the past (though tbf, it’s only happened a handful of times), I backup configs for my stuff running off of SBCs for that reason.
“They thought they would be informed, then they read the headline”
The ones I have have some speakers aimed at your ear to fill in that part, actually works really well. I can’t stand the ear buds you physically insert into your ears, the rubber tipped ones, these have been good to replace my on ears for activity. Plus you can hear what’s around you which is why my partner gifted me them.
Was my first experience with source control, a bunch of Gary’s Mod mods were distributed that way, think I recall wiretool doing that, spacebuild was for sure, predated my work use by like 5ish years.
I didn’t hate it but definitely prefer git, but I’ll take literally anything over not having it,
Oh I didn’t dig sekiro but loved nine sols if that helps any, timings matter but they’re pretty generous and gives you lots of tools.
You’ve already hit most of the ones I’d recommend, dragon age is up there for me, 1st one being more crpg, I came to like veilguard’s combat and enjoyed it, the series probably fits your bill.
Edit: cyberpunk with a katana maybe? Not fantasy at all, but the game is really solid, especially since phantom liberty. I’ve started a run trying to roleplay as Geralt using the witcher gear cdpr gives you, it’s worth playing regardless if you’ve not already.
I know you said no souls-like, but what about metroidvania type ones?
Nine sols was extremely fun, does have a story mode that has configurable difficulty. The developers describe it as taopunk, mix of Taoism and cyberpunk, they’re a Taiwanese studio, incorporates a lot of mythological elements and ends up in a sort of scifantasy setting. It’s got a lot of hand drawn assets, art style is fantastic. I’d call it more of a sekiro-like as it’s centred around deflections.
Give grim dawn a go too if you’re game for isometric RPGs like diablo, definitely scratched that itch for a diablo2 like game for me. Build system is super intricate and I’ve definitely barely scratched the surface.

sudo -e {file}Set SUDO_EDITOR in your profile to the editor of your choice, benefit is it retains your user profile for that editor, it’s also less to type. For stuff like editing sudoers you’re supposed to use visudo to edit that. Others can probably give better/more thorough reasons to consider it.
