Currently slogging my way though the late game (or at least I was until more pressing things came up), there's some slight automation towards the mid game that helps a bit, but the grind doesn't really go away. Mostly due to the fact that you end up spending Faith/ corpses/ gold way faster than you can get them. I find myself in a waiting pattern fairly often- there's still things to do, but progress on major quests feels super slow (and almost unrewarding). The DLC is mostly regarded as filler, but if you're a completionist (or like what they offer), it's not awful at the current sale price.

Note: there are achievements that are gated behind having the DLCs if that's your thing.

It's not strictly a bad game, but I'd almost rather play Stardew for the farming/ story or Factorio for the automation.

I'm not in a place where I can compare it to the artists you've mentioned, but maybe check out Ben Prunty? He's got a bunch of stuff in his catalogue (including an album that's meant to be on the darker side), but I think he's most known for the FTL soundtrack, which I'd probably describe as space, but pensive and curious.

Right? I tried to switch my primary computer (framework laptop) to Linux earlier this year and ended up going back to windows after I had absolute nightmares with my type-c KVM. Coupled with performance issues while gaming (and the absolute hassle of having to force games to use my graphics card). Add in whatever random issues I was getting trying to remote into other windows machines on my domain (for CAD work). My day job is in software engineering/ programming, so I'm not exactly a stranger to digging through documentation and fixing computer issues, but spending time fixing my computer instead of using it got old pretty quick.

Perfectly happy with Linux in my HomeLab and on my steamdeck though!

papyrus!

Jenkins!

Nah, eyelet is the hole that your lace (and aglet) goes through.

I'm a fan of Martin Fowler, I've used his blog post on Tech Debt to explain to managers why you can't just give a 15-year team-killer of an app to a bunch of newbies and expect smooth sailing. His refactoring book is also pretty great. Not necessarily philosophy, or a gripping cover to cover read, but skimming though it as part of a grad school class got me thinking about how I'd refactor my own code and changed my approach to coding (most notably in favoring a series of linq queries/ streams/ es6 array ops, over ugly loops with a tangle of branching logic inside).

Depends, are we in Georgia and is there a golden ~~fiddle~~ gattling gun on the line? If so, I'd take that bet, the A10's the best there's ever been.

What kind of disabled?

I feel a bit like I'm slinging hard drugs here, but might I also suggest RimWorld and Factorio?

Got a PineTime for Christmas and so far been very pleased with it. I found the PineTimeStyle watchface and it's been a bit like coming home to Pebble, but I do miss the wide array of watchface choices and effortless customization.

I wanted to echo this by saying that my lab stated as 4 bay Qnap NAS and evolved into repurposed consumer hardware as my interests and needs changed. My current server is an Optiplex that I bought for being small, quiet, and hanging lots of cores and my NAS is just my old gaming PC build with an HBA card (for extra SATA lanes) stuffed into a fancy case. A server is any computer that you say is a server (ideally one with functional network connectivity).
