what is this image from?

everywhere I look I see his one eye staring back at me

I should call him

whoaaaaa

I don get it. A Cameron Diaz?

Add someone who never had Sega, but did have Sonic CD, I feel like this is correct.

It was so good, I am fairly confident I completed 100% that game a few times.

I’ve tried playing the others but they just don’t hit the same

It’s definitely not needed for the average person trying to install and play games and watch Netflix.

I wanted services for Spotify, Hone Assistant, ssh access, syncthing, jellyfin. Those were just slightly more effort than in Arch, but I am extremely happy with bazzite and plan to stick with it (or other immutable OSes) going forward.

I’ll say this one thing: bazzite is super great if you’re keeping it simple. If you want something “weird”, you’ll need to be ok following directions and editing config files.

The immutability means some things are a few steps harder to setup. For example, today I was installing a service that will let my bazzite machine always be available as a Spotify Connect target so anyone in the house can play music through the living room speakers. The Spotify connect server will be always running in the background, even after reboot. Installing it took 3 extra steps than doing it on Ubuntu, Arch, or Fedora. Not impossible, just a few extra steps to make a distrobox and connect into it, and then connect that into a service on the bazzite side.

I will say though, Kagi Assistant has been a lifesaver for me for getting all my Linux machines setup. I’ve done more in the last year with Linux than the 20 years before of using it as my home OS.

It’s so easy now just to ask a chat prompt how to do something and then get help if it doesn’t work perfectly on the first try. Taters gonna tate, but I absolutely love AI tools for learning how Linux works, especially the trickey immutable ones like bazzite. Even though I’ve been using Linux for twenty years, I’d have dropped bazzite in the first week if it wasn’t for AI chat tools helping me bend it to my designs. I just can’t be bothered spending a lot of time learning an immutable OS when I’m happy with Arch and Ubuntu. However, now with chat tools, I’m loving bazzite and have no plans to switch off it as my daily driver.

I think in the movie they show houses being made with stacked layers of rock chiseled out like a 3d printer

I assumed wishes were a part of the package of getting whatever game you wanted

I have not… but I’m intrigued

WoW is more about my personal nostalgia than any particularly compelling game loop. I’ve got really fond memories of playing at different seasons of my life.

I’ll check out FFXIV though, I’m sure it’s a banger

• Factorio with all mods like A&Bs
• Manor Lords and I have all the source code to mod it
• One of the total war games, maybe Warhammer because dinosaurs and jungles, ditto with source code for mods
• Dark Souls
• Elden Ring
• Ocarina of Time
• Minecraft with all mods
• Dwarf Fortress
• Final Fantasy X World of Warcraft all expansions with plenty of players to guild, sorry FFX but I’ll drop like 100x more time in WoW
• Age of Empires 2

Sun hoodies are made of a poly blend that is white, reflects a lot of sun, and is rated to keep you from getting burned through clothes which can happen with regular cotton or linen if you’re in the full sun all day. I’ve worn them all day in full sun and never get burned or even tanned on my shoulders.

Amazon and Alibaba sell them for like 20-50 euros. I like getting ones with thumb holes, a hood, and is at least 1-2 sizes too big because they are better when they drape and let the air in, and they are hard to remove when soaked in sweat.

They’ll be rated like UPF 50+ which just indicates high resistance. You want higher than 30+ at least.

The brand I’ve used for the last few years also makes them with a hood that has a built in lower face cover / balaclava. This is much warmer but very handy at keeping off the sun. I don’t use that kind, but I’ll use a high UPF white Buff neck gaiter to go over my lower face or forehead to hold the hood on. YMMV.

I’ll also use a wide brimmed floppy hat that will at least cover my upper face and nose, and I’ll wear sunscreen to an all day sun event on my hands and face. Otherwise I burn fast and it’s very unhealthy for skin aging and cancer risk.

One time I was hiking and just finished dragons tooth in VA. Climbed down heading north to the first campsite at the base of that mountain. It was absolutely infested with those! All night it was like being surrounded by car alarms WHIP OR WILL WHIP WHIP OR OR WILL WILL.

Felt like my fillings would fall out. There’s that cliff that everyone takes pictures at, and we went up there for the sunrise, I remember seeing one just giving me the stink eye as I hiked past.

Absolutely brilliant and accurate

Is it a whiporwill?

that is great, a worthy impulse

Share a picture, I bet it’s great

A History of Violence I think that happens

get AfterShocks, made for listening to music while swimming

geez or just plant like clover or oregano or something. There’s plenty of excellent options between shitty British grass and shitty plastic garbage
