There's this amazing series of videos I found when looking for some notes and advice for working on my vintage Honda motorcycle. The dude was literally in a shed in the woods, and in between his moments of gearhead genius, he would tell amazing, random stories about his life and philosophies. It was just this guy hanging out in a big shed in the woods, working on old bikes. The videos were like an hour and a half of him just wrenching and dumping wisdom. They only had like 500-1000 views each and I was honestly flabbergasted that he didn't gave some big cult fandom.

I gotta go find those and watch them again. Thanks for reminding me.

It's a great game. The story starts out relatively chill, but as you explore and start to uncover things it gets really intriguing.

The devs are working on another game that takes place in the same universe called Obenseuer. It's sincerely one of my favorite games. I get absorbed by it while playing because it's one of the most unique vibes in any game I've played. For me, it's got this melancholic, depressing atmosphere, but is simultaneously funny, quirky, and, somehow, cozy.

If I've got someone else that's also into it and frequently wants to do it together, then it's waaay easier for me to continue it. Kinda sucks cause it makes me feel like I'm putting the onus on others to keep me involved. I swear I'm not doing that on purpose!

It's probably a little harder for people with ADHD to stick with something through the lulls because we don't have that intrinsic motivation driving us to be able to experience that delayed gratification.

When trying to build a routine or a habit, it's like clearing a path through a forest and building a trail. It takes everyone dedication and effort. But for a lot of people (not everyone) with ADHD, it's probably more like a thick-ass jungle. I can do it, too, and it's gonna be a strugglebus. But once it's cleared and the pavement is down, consistent foot traffic is usually all that's needed to keep it clear.

I have really fond memories of the first Grid game from 2008. That's alongside NFS: Most Wanted from around that time, like most people it seems, haha! I also spent an inordinate amount of time playing Gran Turismo 3: A-spec. I loved the career mode so much.

My favorite cars are the Lotus Espirit and Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR, to this day, because of Gran Turismo 3 and Most Wanted, respectively.

There haven't been many recently that have piqued my interest, other than the gang all wanting to get Forza Horizon. I don't play it much on my own, though.

If there were another track game where you work up from the bottom with a shit car in different classes of races, earning money and unlocking new parts and stuff along the way, I'd be into it. It seems most newer racing games just have generic "Engine Upgrade 1"-type options, or full-blown sim where you're picking extremely particular individual pieces and tuning everything to an overwhelming degree.

Epic has sold Bandcamp to music licensing company called Songtradr.

Ah, I see! Yeah, a bigger catalog would be nice. You can add more repositories to it, enable Flathub, which provide more options, but something about it does feel hamstrung.

The Firefox thing is something I know about! You can set a config option in the about:config page to tell Firefox to use your desktop's standard dialogue. It has to do with XDG Desktop specifications, I think

Maybe they were putting their hair up? Or taking a sweatshirt off? Or they were headbanging really hard. Or they're not bifocals and are nearsided?

You're totally right. I'm just being difficult.

In Firefox, you can disable the clipboard events. I've done this for the rare case of me copy+pasting a password and forgetting to clear the clipboard after.

On Android, I've noticed that it's possible for apps to read from the clipboard, to read OTP tokens for example. Since I noticed that a while back, I've always been wary of the clipboard on any device I've used.

I putz with Discover sometimes. Though I have no idea how it resolves package updates under the hood, as it often will produce a different manifest than running dnf itself.

What would you like to see improved?
