That PowerPoint Prez at the end of the review hit me hard. I have this game pre ordered because I love Mothership and Nausicaa, but I didn't get deep into the PDFs because I much prefer reading my RPGs on paper. This might make me run this game next, as soon as me and my players get tired of the scifi horror tropes.

I've only had this one, but in 5 years of daily commutes, the only thing that broke is a pedal (I hit it pretty hard on accident, and it bent).

if you want i3 but on wayland, you could try sway. It is exactly that, you can even reuse most of your i3 config file.

When I used it, I mostly switched between the 9 apps in my favorites/dock with the Meta+digit shortcuts. I rarely used anything besides those 9, and then I just used alt tab. It worked really well, no complaining.

Today it's mostly the same, but with a tiling window manager and the same numbers: 3 is thunderbird, 5 is file browser for instance. It's muscle memory at this point, feels great.

Oh God, I remember the monthly format C and reinstall windows xp, followed by the dreaded service packs installation. That was how I fixed problems.

When you spent time tinkering on your linux box, at least you usually learn some piece of knowledge that can be applied later on.

When you tinker and debug something on windows, you usually have little idea of what went wrong and can derive very little from the experience. At least that was the case back when I still used windows, in the XP and vista days.

I just finished Pikmin 3 last night, I left it unfinished on the last section for about a year, because man this last map is stressful.

But hey, I pushed on and I'm glad I did because now I only have Pikmin 2 to finish before the end of next week!

We might have some silent letters, vestigial remnant of ancient forms, but English has basically no rule for pronunciation. It's so funny watching English speakers debate among themselves how a name should be pronounced.

  • Rough, tough, though
  • To read, read, read (your very best one, guys, believe me)

That's why I ride a single speed bike. This can't really happen to me anymore.
