A true vintage.

XP was a huge advancement at its time, but I can't imagine running it today on the Internet at least.

I remember those keyboards from computer labs at college though.

I guess I was unsure how dedicated "hobby" was.

Damn now that's the first time I've felt young in the Internet in a while. Arkham Horror was the first "real" board game I ever heard of when I first played, and what launched my interest in it at all. So calling it modern got me lol. I'm not sure if that was the oldest game we played, but it well might be.

My social circle isn't a pot den, lol. Actually most don't partake either now that my circle already changed some.

But very few think anything negative about it, it's mostly just because their jobs prevent them from it.

I know far more people that would judge a cigarette smoker than would judge a weed smoker. I've only known two people course to my age that smoked at all. One quit years ago and the other has a whole new set of medical problems (on top of what she already had going on). I don't know if these new problems have anything to do with it, but I pretty much just assume any cigarette smoker with any medical problem has it because of the cigarettes. Probably a little too overboard for accuracy, but as far as I'm concerned they're just death. There is literally zero... Absolutely zero benefits to it at all, if you smoke you have only had things come of it. (Would love to hear a counter example, but I don't think any exist)

Anyway, that's a whole tangent so let me stop before I really get going.

Suffice it to say, that my meaning was that people who are against it (in my experience) are always uptight, religious, or something similar.

Unless they have a specific reason that they don't like it, I just probably wouldn't be friends with them. Just judging it because good told em to or whatever. Maybe that's just because I'm in the south and I just don't know what other areas are like.

But for me, you're either morally just fine with it but don't partake, a user (with a huge spectrum of frequency and amount), hate it because of paranoia, or a straight up Jesus freak.

I realize there are people who just somehow don't like it, but to look down on it in general just screams like a group of people that are no fun.

And for what it's worth, concerts are fun but exhausting, board games are AMAZING (I'm still sad about all the games I have that I can't play anymore for now because I lost the group of roommates I had)

Most of them weren't mine but I owned a few favorites and they're just sitting in a storage shed now :'(

Survival I'm ok with, not a huge fan. RTS though I can't stand as a genre. I grew up on games where you push a button, and something moves. Simulation, strategy, any genre where you're managing resources and stuff just totally doesn't sit with me.

At least in video games. Board games that do that kinda thing are fine usually.

Your sphere seems fun.

I really wanna go to an event where we're just literally roasting selected billionaires over a fire, eating popcorn as we listen to their screams, and watch their flesh darken as it burns. So whole celebrating how much negative karma is leaving the earth all at one time.

I'm not even kidding. I would literally enjoy physically going to such an event. Bezos and Musk would probably be the stars of the show.

Does Bezos even "do" anything at all? Ever? Or is he just cashing checks while underlings deal with all the "work stuff"?

I mean I would be downright ashamed if a company with my name all over it was looked on this badly.

How is weed so low? I get it's not literally everyone's cup of tea but I'm my experience more people partake or are ok with it than not.

They need to do way instain mother> who kill thier babbys. becuse these babby cant frigth back?

I don't know if this is specifically possible. I'm not quite rookie-level new (been using it about a year now) but I have something I would love to have convenience-wise.

It's a desktop machine with regular speakers, and I have a wireless headset that connects to its own dongle (not Bluetooth). It's there a way to switch to the headset automatically when I power it on, and revert to speakers when I turn it off?

I feel like it's possible hardware-wise, but I'm not tryna learn how to code to make it happen, and I don't know how to find a software solution. I don't even know what to call what I'm looking for.

That was half the reason I upgraded. I don't know if my old box would've been compatible (probably was), but I wanted it off Microsoft territory so bad and heating about Copilot sent shivers all over my spine.

I've never heard of installing any new OS without having to back stuff up. That's just wishful lazy thinking lol.

You probably won't have to do anything manually about Wine. Steam has Proton built in and it works great. As others always mention, check ProtonDB.com for user reports on how a specific game will work out.

I haven't run into any problems in my library, but I honestly haven't installed a ton of games.

I've used Heroic Games Launcher and Lutris for some other launchers (like Battle.net or Epic Games), and those have been a little hit or miss, but I think the main problem is something I'm missing. Not a huge priority but I'm still working on it occasionally.

I haven't heard anyone call or 3D card since the 90s. They're video cards or GPUs these days man. AMD has open source drivers that work just fine with Linux and should work just the same as the Windows version I believe.

Nvidia has open source ones, but they seem to be pretty terrible compared to the closed source ones. I had one issue with them last week but I think that was more related to KDE than it was the drivers' fault.

I don't really have any fancy hardware to describe how easy that was to get to work. Just a mouse, kb, headset(with mic) all of which worked fine without doing anything. I have a physical dongle for the controller, so I had to get a driver for that so I didn't have to use a Bluetooth connection (pretty shitty comparatively speaking) or gasp plug it in. Had a few issues with it for a while, there was an updated version under a new name and such but it all works now. Just turn the controller on and it's working instantly (unless I forget to charge it lol).

Funny, all I needed was the title.
