Nice when it's official. Best I've seen is a mod that reverts changes.

So many... I like the details, too. I remember when some of these happened, like when Telltale went out of business (and then upon coming back haven't relisted).

Quite a few just have remastered versions, which I have mixed feelings about. I feel like they should allow both from a preservation perspective, but I also wouldn't want someone downloading the older version out of confusion.

Iirc, that was an issue a friend if mine had when wanting to switch. He's one of those MMO guys who users mice with dozens of buttons, so it's pretty essential. I wonder if this will help?

I can confirm this Christmas season that extended family members do in fact click on recommendations and so on, reaffirming that awful approach.

The amount of random crap we got... sigh. The thought counts, I guess.

Oh, it sounds like the dog survived too! I'm kind of surprised; usually stories like this are like "he shot the dog and kidnapped the girl" but instead they were both found.

In my case, it's because people don't like all my pictures of the wall behind my computer screen.

People willing to play expert modpacks are also people who are willing to tinker with Arch Linux.

Seriously though, there's so many parallels between modded Minecraft and Linux: they're foss, they have a billion packages with a billion dependencies, weird bugs pop up and you work around them, and of course, the skill set to automate things in a game like that (or factorio, satisfactory, etc) lend themselves to using console commands and scripts and such.

That said, it's also just easier to play Minecraft on Linux with a launcher, haha.

I can confirm they do actually break quite easily... uh, from experience. They don't shatter, at least, you just end up with very leaky milk and a grocery store worker disappointed in you.

It's not a coincidence they start playing Xmas music in October now... Only a matter of time until it's year round. Blasted climate change!

Y'all don't get it. Santa is a hive mind parasite that embeds itself in people and takes over at the later months of the year. It tends to hibernate the rest of the year although much like pollen, it seems to be waking earlier and earlier.

I used to take my friends wax and make cool pen toppers during class because I was bored.

Am I crazy or did she use abhorrent wrong?

Like, our views can be abhorrent in that they're disagreeable or disgusting or whatever, but they can't to abhorrent to something. I think?

I know everything else is rubbish too and this person's kids probably don't talk to them anymore, but I really like that word so this annoys me.
