For me learning I was aroace was hugely freeing, realising I could just opt out of the whole dating mess

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!
Much better than expect. This has been the first year where we’ve had someone outside of our immediate family join us (my brother’s girlfriend) and it’s been very pleasant.
Going to start working my way through the Christmas ales I’ve been saving now!
Working my way through Anne McCaffrey’s Pern novels again. Read them first as a child and it’s lovely being back in that world again
In fairness, games are still something I’m willing to pay for and books. I think probably because Kindle and Steam are better user experiences than pirating those.
I used to have a moral objection to piracy, I thought that if a piece of media is good enough that I enjoy it then the people that made it deserve to be paid for their work.
I’m increasingly of the opinion that even if I do pay for something there is no guarantee that the people that worked on it will get their fair share and paying for media is increasingly a worse user experience than piracy.
In my campaign the party came across a magic item seller who had two juvenile mimics in a terrarium in his shop. This is now canon for how he met his first mimic.
It was to tell the reader that the mimic got out too. The same jagged seams as the first time it became a blanket
I turned down a few graphic settings but honestly thoughly playable. Looking forward to performance patches so I can turn some of the eye candy back on
I’m enjoying it. I’ve remembered that I’m terrible at building cities, but I’m having fun while coming to that realization again! Performance is mid 50fps with about 5000 people at 1080p with a 2080 super and a ryzen 3600x.
On day 8 out of 8 in a row at work. Got 3 days off starting tomorrow and Cities Skyline 2 to dig into.
Omg, they have an arm Linux version. That’s going right on my Chromebook tomorrow!
Thank you for keeping on top of this Chris. I’m having a heavy week at work and I’ve not kept up with what’s working and what isn’t so your updates have been invaluable.
When I’ve got some days off I’m probably going to spin up a viewtube or invidious instance on either my home server or VPS and have done with it!
“Nextcloud is a can of worms” is an understatement. I keep talking myself into and out of trying to install it. I just don’t have the time at the moment to troubleshoot it when something inevitably breaks.
Sex ambivalent ace here, it has been pretty jarring each time a companion hit on my character. It does ask you if you are ok with sexual content and nudity when you first start. I said yes to both because it doesn’t usually bother me in most media but maybe being a roleplaying game I feel more connected to the character.
Yes. Not taking into account anything except the output of the laser verses the output of the reaction.
I’m doing basically all the things you’ve just listed using a Dell Precision Tower 3620 you don’t necessarily need new hardware for it and could save quite a lot if there are used workstations in your area.
For software I’m using esxi with truenas core virtualized and photonos as my docker host with everything managed through portainer. I would not suggest using esxi unless you want to learn about it, I wish I’d gone with Proxmox at the start.
Yes, I never finished BOTW because of the size, same for Skyrim and although I’m excited for Cities: Skylines 2 I’m also a bit intimidated by the scale of it and learning all the new tools again!
I did a bit of the mining and trading gameplay wipe before last. Haven’t gone back since but I likely will.
