This is how I feel as a highly trained Sekiro beater when people say Shadow of the Erdtree is too hard.

It will be nice for Steam Deck and desktop Linux gamers. Discord will never fix their Linux game audio capture, and using OBS for this might be too complex for some people (and has its own issues on Wayland).

I just saw their Big Time video! Glad those guys have the guts to do that.

Beware that points like this suggest that messaging platforms should be monitoring all communications sent between users. If that's the world you want to live in, ok, fine... But in this case the guy that committed the crime is the one who has been punished. Isn't that the correct result?

Donut - how? All the giga-sponsors they take lately?

I went to this game last night and it was one of the best hockey games I've ever been to. The boys battled hard, especially during a crazy 2nd period.

I just found this cool utility a couple days ago and have found that it's a great solution to sandboxed versions of Discord being unable to provide rich presence. It's a Python script that queries the Steam web API to get info to forward to Discord's API. The "installer" sets up a systemd service that will auto-run the script for you.

It requires you to get your own Steam API key which was a trivial, though slightly buggy, process for me. You can optionally use your own Discord app ID, or just use the one owned by the guy that created this script.

Midwesterner here. This is correct. Though it's missing anti-abortion ads and the PORN DESTROYS ALL LIVES signs that always follow the Adult Superstore ones.

A vast amount of the Pacific Garbage Patch consists of discarded commercial fishing gear.

Sorry for the messy work bench but that's how it is with my DIY projects. 🙂 This is the Build Kit Boards Duo kit with a custom battery setup.

The battery enclosure is one from their site that is on fire sale due to being left over from their previous kit version. It doesn't exactly fit so I did a little work on it with a hacksaw. It is bound to the board via 8 thumb screws that attach to steel threaded inserts that I installed on the deck. I do have to remove all the screws to take the batteries out and charge them... I'd like to come up with a better solution but no good ideas so far.

For batteries I'm running three 5000mAh 4S LiPo batteries in series, so effectively a 12 cell. There is room in the enclosure for three more of these so I can have two 12 cell packs in parallel. I'm hoping for a 25 mile range from that setup.

I commuted to work on this this morning and had a blast! Electric skateboards kick ass.

I can't use AMD (midwest.social)

It's necessary for my very important hobby of generating anime nudes.

McCain is one of the old guard Republicans that went down fighting. His final vote thumbs down for the repeal of the ACA was legendary. I didn't vote for him but I do have great respect for him.

Contrast that against all the limp dicks who are silently retiring instead of speaking out and trying to right the ship.

This song popped up on Sirius XM this past weekend and I loved it. It's like a blend of Dimmu and Wilderun.

I've been gaming on Kubuntu for over 2 years now but recently have been getting interested in Garuda. I've booted into the live Dragonized Gaming iso and was really impressed with the out of the box gaming-centric setup.

I've also been looking for more reasons to switch away from Ubuntu, and have been hit with the EOL countdown for plasma in 23.04, so the time is right for a distro hop. With the latest Garuda release they added an official Hyprland variant which looks really cool too.

Does anyone use Garuda? What are your impressions/thoughts/experiences? What should I expect from switching to an Arch base? Same questions for Hyprland too.

I have 16 gigs of ram, an Intel i7 something and an nVidia 2080.

Edit: I booted into the Hyprland live iso last night and I must say, Hyprland is cool af. Really a breath of fresh air and very intuitive. I'm going to run with the install this weekend.

I found a good stick once. Damn, that was a nice stick.

I still wonder why console players allowed their online services to require subscriptions in the first place.

Anyone have any tips on good places to view this outside of the metro area? I live in Olathe and have tried the area around Hillsdale Lake before which was alright, but still had quite a bit of glow in the horizon.
