I only got infected once that I know of. I had trouble reading from a floppy disk and so I set scandisk running on it and went to get some lunch. When I came back there had been a short power out and when it came back on my machine had rebooted with the disk in it which ran on startup and infected the machine. Thankfully it was non-destructive and I was able to clean it out with tools I had on another machine.

Same here, it’s less about the month to month technical changes and waaay more about general policy and major development decisions.

When I was like 7 my aunt got a new home made quilt for christmas and was proudly holding it up for everyone to see. All I could think was how fun it would be to run into that nice soft quilt. So I tried, and like the dumbest cartoon character my head bounced off it after smacking into the metal table right behind it.

At least there was no permanent damage, or so my imaginary therapist tells me.

Have you tried Deadlock? Coming from Dota2 I found it pretty easy to get into even though it is FPS.

Convenience.
Sadly it is something far fewer people are willing to give up than any of the above.

I like to try and combine these to see what kind of reactions I get.
The cream rises to who you know.
The squeaky wheel gets hammered down.
He who laughs last, comes around.
Great minds killed the cat!

We even have an app for it now: apt install hollywood

Commercial yogurt. Yeah maybe it’s just a tasty and healthy probiotic. Or maybe it’s a way for food conglomerates to change our gut bacteria so that we crave even more foods with cheap sugar.

That’s been my impression as well. Other countries recovering from a conflict seem to have a lot of people still looking for others to blame for their problems but Iraqis seem more interested in just trying to make things a little better each day. I think if they can hold on to that hope their future will be bright.

National Test Your Backups day. So much time and money lost because people either don’t backup their data or assume they have when they have not. (Ok it’s not a real holiday but it should be)

I’ve developed a taste for Sparkling Ice lately, especially their Black Cherry. It’s got a bit of real fruit juice in it and tastes way better than most other seltzer type drinks that usually rate somewhere from meh to vomit inducing.
They also have caffeinated versions but those have a bit too much for my liking.

I’m also confused, in the mod browser I see Mineclonia and Mineclone2 but no Mineclonia2. Which is better?

It does have full controller support and lots of on-screen directions for what buttons do what. How fun it is with controller I can’t attest to, I’m sticking with M+KB.

I guess if you want to be paranoid you could get a new hard drive and install just what you want for the LAN and keep personal info off it. Then just swap back when you get home.

It’s just a slightly more formal sounding title. This answer on stackexchange goes through some of the history on why alternatives aren’t used.

I think it’s pronounced “Madam President”

It’s sounds snarky but the reality is not much will change from software and hardware developers until it reaches that level. Right now the direct support we get is from developers that just happen to like Linux. After around 10% most other developers can no longer afford to ignore that market even if they aren’t adept or comfortable with it.

I’ve played and enjoyed:
OpenTTD
OpenRCT2
OpenClonk
Hedgewars
Foobillard++

I’ve also been looking at Tabletop Club but haven’t played with it much yet.

Some games I thought were pretty good that got somewhat looked over:

Dandara: Trials of Fear – Somewhat Metroid like but with a unique limited movement system.

The Dwarves – An ARPG with a bland title (based on a book I guess) that I think made a lot of people overlook this but the gameplay was well done.

Echoes of Aetheria – Typical JRPG which isn’t for everyone but I enjoyed it.

The Fall of the Dungeon Guardians – Similar to Grimrock (though maybe not quite as good) but still fun.

Figment – Adventure puzzle game with some surreal and cutesy art, pretty well done.

Full Void – Inspired by games like Out of this World, it was short but very cool.

Grandpa’s Table – It’s not a crazy hard brain teaser, just a relaxing sliding puzzle game with great music.

Rise of the Third Power – Another JRPG that had some fun writing and combat.

Seedlings – A Godot engine puzzle platformer with Samarost vibes. The detail put into the story at the ending really surprised me.

GW1 had a great campaign that felt good to progress though. It had some grindy stuff at the end for players that wanted to keep playing past the missions but it wasn’t required. Unlike GW2 that just feels like boring grind all throughout.
