I think I've decided I'm going to do a rando of it since I've gotten really into doing Archipelago randomizer runs lately. If anybody else is familiar with Archipelago or think a multi-game randomizer for a game sounds fun let met know. I figured I'll be playing it solo, but could be fun to get together people familiar with the game to do an AP run.

More recently it was the history page failing to load. I think it just depends on how much google is updating the backend, but I usually go 6+ months on a specific version without issue.

You'll need to get the matching youtube version from apkmirror and run it through their patcher. Its a pretty straightforward process. You just need to open the patcher first to see what version of the YouTube apk it's currently supporting.

Got moonlight game stream installed on my 3DS recently and streamed skyrim to it when some friends were over to gaslight them about a little known 3DS release. The text was as impossible to read as you'd imagine.

She immedietly became frustrated with gnome and made me switch it to KDE, but now I don't think she really cares it isn't windows. KDE has come a really long way to making people used to windows feel comfortable on Linux.
Now I'm dreading making the switch on my gaming rig... so many games, mods, and random software to backup and/or find alternatives for 🙃

The cup is still standing there today as basically decoration next to the Rhodes 101 gas station that built it. Sorta funny to see if not a grim reminder of the areas obscesion with giant Styrofoam cups full of soda lol

I've spoiled myself on some of the story from watching Game Grumps, but I'm excited to finally have an excuse to play it myself. Dragon Quest is one of my favorite series so it'll be cool to see another game with Toriyamas art style.

After playing Alyx, I tried a bunch of different VR games and found stuff here and there that was enjoyable. Overall it was just hollow tech demo type experiences though. Even the VR versions of major games felt pretty low effort like VR was an afterthought and they never considered what it would feel like to be in actual VR gameplay. I know there's a lot of isolated experiences in VR that are really good for a few hours of fun but I have yet to see any game come close to feeling as complete as Half Life Alyx.

I'm not usually a fan of this type of 'real time' point and click game, they tend to stress me out and I forget what I'm supposed to be doing.
The excitement for it from so many people here have got me interested in giving it a shot though. No guarantee I'll finish it, but part of what I wanted from CGA was to find good games I'd have never played otherwise.

I played it off and on a lot as a kid and never made it terribly far before getting distracted by other games and restarting it months later (in retrospect this was probably the adhd). The quirky world and dual storyline stuck with me though. I think about it pretty frequently and this would be a great excuse for me to finally finish it and talk to other people about it. -

If there's a clear time to swap between the two that sounds like the better option.

In the 8 years I've been doing this I've only had a single problem with security and that was the fault of Valves "steam groups" being abused by some Chinese bots to hijack my L4D2 server. Should I be more worried about my game server security?
I had similar fights with pop recently and ended up just switching to Kubuntu. Now I'm having a much better time with basically the same performance. I see people mention pop is supposed to be good for nvidia machines but as far as I could tell the only benefit was nvidia drivers come preinstalled. So unless there's some secret tweaks they've made I'm not sure what benefit it has over any other distro for nvidia GPU.
