Lmao, when?

Everyone should be engaged in a union.

tell them you’re sorry about it, but that you’re grateful that you have the flexibility to do so

What are they supposed to be sorry about?

If you have a USB stick you could just boot up a live CD of the operating system.

Even this can depend a lot. I’ve some friends that play that Marvel game (Rivals?) and it works great on Linux. I myself have played Monhan and Warframe a lot on Linux. I’m not much of a competitive player, and I think where you might run into problems is competitive live-service titles.

Guild Wars and Final Fantasy XIV are both multiplayer games and work flawlessly for me.

Some games might require some fiddling you might not have on Windows, but it’s not that bad.

Even VR is pretty plug and play, though I’ve not bothered with FBT yet, and I think it differs a lot depending on what headset you have.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. AMD CPU with NVidia graphics.

I feel like I see a lot of fresh faces on Lemmy. It’s nice!

Yeah. I search for things all the time. Thousands of searches each month. I thought I’d miss it a lot, but I’ve not used Google for two years or so and it’s not really a problem.

Google is mostly adverts. Wouldn’t take much to be better than that.

Not exactly in my language, but Lipton used to have an advert for their ice tea “Limone” in Japan. A lady sing a jingle, and in the middle of it she’d exclaim 「おいちい」, meaning “delicious.” However, 「ちい」could also be interpreted as the English word tea. Thus an appropriate translation of the pun would be “tealicious.”

Did a quick search and found the advert in question.

I did something similar just the other day.

As a kid I really enjoyed Populous The Beginning. I only ever had the demo version. I later bought the game on GOG, but it never ran that well on my computer. You had to use software based graphics acceleration so it didn’t look right, would have issues with the sound, and crash fairly often.

Tried it through Lutris the other day and it just works. Flawlessly. The graphics look right, there are no audio distortions, and so far I’ve not crashed at all. I’d like to figure out how to get it to run in windowed mode, and then I’ll be satisfied.

Big win for WINE.

It’s not private given that they require your phone number to sign up.

Rumpelstiltskin.

Naomi Novik wrote a lovely book inspired by it called “Spinning Silver.”

To be fair, some of our walls are a bit more hollow, and can be easily drilled into. I wonder if they’re more or less drywall. Though I don’t think you could punch through them without hurting yourself. There’s this part of me that now wishes to try, but it’s like as best we don’t find out. 😅

You can buy portable camping stoves that use propane as well. If your kitchen cant heat enough, then that is a useful tool to have. Honestly I’d say it’s decently useful overall in case of a blackout or something.

IKEA. It’s stainless steel with non-stick. It’s the only non-stick thing I have, and I’m desperate to be rid of it.

Having a non-stick wok is incredibly frustrating because it doesn’t handle high temperatures, and a lot of recipes I’d like to do require high temperatures. Like good luck trying to make chili oil in this thing, I have to use a regular stainless steel pot for that - which works fine. I like making Cantonese style scrambled eggs which isn’t really possible in a pot and it doesn’t come out right in the wok since you can’t heat it enough, meaning the egg doesn’t set fast enough.

I don’t think drywall is a thing in apartments here. Growing up I always thought that “punching through the wall” was something they put in for comedic effect, because here you’d just crush your hand.

Do you not clean your utensils?

Yes!

Weirdly, a dough scraper. It’s not because of the measurement conversions, I don’t think I’d ever noticed them up until now actually. It’s just a really solid dough scraper. I use it for dough, but I’ve also used it for so many other things, like assembling/disassembling furniture, patching holes in the wall, wrapping furniture in a vinyl sheet. Loads of various tasks.

Every so often you find that you need a solid, flat, steel thing, and this comes in handy every single time.

Yeah, the way I see it; if you buy a fancy kitchen knife or two, you better also buy whetstones and learn how to sharpen properly. Those knives can be great, but they also need good care.

If you buy the cheapo IKEA knife set of 3 for $12, you might as well use a rubbish sharpener. It’ll do the job, and the knives are borderline disposable. The lifetime of them won’t really matter much in the grand scheme of things.
