I didn't realise I had it unticked, and feel silly for thinking Lemmy didn't support them! Totally keeping it unticked, but thought it was funny :)

I also can imagine New Vegas being "well, I'm going to play for a few hours... oh god it's been four months!"

I had absolutely unplanned that pun, but I'm thrilled it's there!😅 Thank you!

Yay! Glad you're enjoying it so far :)

I can also say the past month or two rocking Mint have been a breath of fresh air, everything feels fast and I've only had one GOG game not run (think I could with some effort) :)

Even the Unity game engine works, and debugs, it's lightyears ahead of my previous goes at Mint over the years (and they only "ended" because of needing music software for college and uni!)

Hope it continues to treat you well! Also you may wish to indulge in the greatest Linux feature I know, which is Wobbly Windows - it makes your windows wobbly when dragged, which is very enjoyable for reasons I am not sure of! :)

Great game! Really fun story and gun physics :)

It seems okay for me, scrolling around in the comments didn't crash Boost :)

You may ask yourself

"How do I flush this?"

You may say to yourself

"My god, what have I done?!"

Now that just sounds blissful! I legit plan to try this

It was in fact a protest because dinner would take an hour and a yorkshire pudding fell out its bag while I was rummaging in the freezer! I needed sustenance and gravity obliged, it would have been rude to deny my destiny. 😊

I am sure that my sacrifices and heroism in a trying time are just what any other normal, sane person would have done... I should think probably I guess

Frozen yorkshire puddings with raisins inside. A bit of sweet, a bit of cronch.

I am aware of what I have said, and stand by my poor life choices that led to this brilliant discovery.

I have heard some wacky migraine treatment techniques, and thought if anyone is on here, it could be a potentially interesting light-hearted thing to discuss.

Reddit swore by McDonald's fries (salt intake?), but what prompted me to think to post this was my new DIY "heat treatment" for retinal migraines.

I like warm or cold things on the pain, and cooling strips etc are sold as migaine treatments. So one day I figured blasting my eye pain with a hair-dryer was worth a punt because why not?

Instantly pain free! I swear by it, it is temporary relief like I have never had before! The internet says heat possibly tricks pain receptors, I say dumb method works! I thought this was funny enough to share.

With this tale out the way, what are Lemmy's wacky migraine superstitions or unorthodox migraine strategies?

Edit: blasting one's face with a hair dryer is not medical advice! I am just a moron on the internet, and this is purely anecdotal

 

Hi everyone :) I was wondering if anyone would be interested in chatting about things similar to Blade Runner/Philip K Dick? I've read pretty much all of his books that I get my hands on, but am sadly hitting the point where it's an event when I find one I've not already read. :)

Do any other Science Fiction writers or films scratch the same itch? :)

To throw one of his own into the discussion: We Can Build You is fantastic - much slower, but explores androids, and their impact on the human characters. :)
