What have you been playing lately? Discussion about video games and board games are both welcome. Please don't just make a list of titles, give some thoughts about the game(s) as well.
May it be a beautiful one for you and yours. Merry Christmas for those that celebrate. To those who do not, have a pleasant day.
Hi folks--I am very excited about a gaming PC that I just bought for my family (mainly 13yo son into gaming, coding, and digital art).
I installed the video card (only piece sent separately), went through Windows setup/updates. Installed peripherals. Updated video card drivers. Installed Steam/GIMP/Krita. Made 13yo an adult in my Steam Family. Installed a few of the games so something is ready to run right away. I even have the small Wacom tablet working in GIMP and Inkscape with a good pressure profile!
All that said, I used to set up my own Windows PCs (looooong) ago, and I'm wondering if it's really that simple. It was very easy.
I did small utility things like run Startallback and install PowerToys. I figured MS Visual Code is next?
Anything else you all can suggest?
(P.S. is there a way to move all his Minecraft stuff to his new Microsoft account? He's tired of logging in as me, and I'm tired of sending him auth codes.)

I remember this one from the 80's which was viral some time ago for being non-offensive (for its time). There is some outdated language of course.
After years of regular meetings at a local bar, one of a trio of friends stunned his companions by announcing that he was really a woman trapped in a man's body and had finally decided to have a sex-change operation.
Months later, she reappeared at the old haunt and greeted her friends. Both men congratulated her on her appearance and began questioning her about the most painful aspect of the grueling operation.
"Lopping off your dick must have been the worst part," one said, wincing.
"Ummm," she pondered. "No, not really."
"Cutting off your balls, then, decided the other.
"No," she said. "That was bad, but not the worst."
"What was worse than that?"
"Getting my salary cut in half."
Hello, my friend recently lost their laptop (long story) and has kindly asked me to help them out to find a replacement.
I've had success asking here before, so I would be very grateful for any help or direction.
Here are the main criteria, based on what we've discussed.
Here are the nice-to-haves:
Don't care about:
My friend is mostly used to Windows but I think if I could make a strong case for Ubuntu then they might be open to it if that's relevant.
Thanks for reading!

I might be a little early in posting this thread but I am personally beginning to stress a lot about the holidays - have been for like a month, even, to some degree.
So I wanted to make this thread as a safe venting space.
I always disliked Christmas a lot, and New Year's Eve was even worse and is an active hate. But it's all so much worse this year because my brother (CSA TW) will be there. I have to pretend everything is fine even though it's not and I fear it will affect me so much so that I'm going to relapse when I get home.
