I've never had a stigma attached to lower difficulties since I loved the challenge but lately I simply can't be assed to learn a rhythm, die a few hundred times then hope I time it well enough it just isn't fun any more. I think I was in act 3 when you fight a particularly important boss and I said fuck it, lets lower it and even then when I couldn't parry or dodge because of the boatloads of beautiful effects on the screen I stopped the game and watched a lets play for the remainder of game. I'm glad I did it because the dodging and parry mechanics only got more difficult.

I've tried locally for a long time and can only find groups that except people with experience or only one-shots. It seems like you either become your own GM or are lucky to find find people in your circle already playing it.

Comment on I dont want Windows 11, how easy is it to use Linux? in ~tech

Learn about live environments, dual boot or try it out via usb loader and if none if that makes sense, welcome to GNU/Linux. At this point though, most distro's will work across broad hardware choices. I'd try to steer you towards PopOs, it seems to be the most user friendly and or linux mint. Online searches will tell you more about your specific use cases such as coraldraw alternatives or compatibility via emulation.

Really feels like I'm in the perspective of non-humans. Taking a break now from that series and I'm reading Sunlit Man' by Brandon Sanderson and trying to tackle other novellas/books outside of the well known series.

It's like I never left school but the only difference is I don't have deadlines or study schedules, it's absolutely liberating. I've got a movie date with my partner but life is feeling a little monotonous but I don't hate it one bit, I'm learning things I'm interested in and finally found the motivation + discipline to keep at it.

I'm dreading the entire visit though. Parents are not horrible but its always... a chore to be around them so this weekend I plan on getting everyone boozed up so the visit goes quick.

Because of that I've incorporated a TON of tofu in my meals. Pressed, fried and marinated in different soy sauces, miso and gochujang. I've basically been cooking vegetarian Korean meals and it's been a blast. As a hispanic I don't understand why Korean food is not more popular with us as they use tons of chili and garlic.

How do I chain everything together so that multiple security appliances, software, end point management systems, netflix access, laptop provisioning and on boarding is seamless across multiple business? The Imposter syndrome is definitely real but its what also makes things exciting as there's new shit every day and new tech every other day.

This solidifies how to me how much of a valuable tool it is. Too bad about management.

It wasn't until I watched Evangelion years later that I became interested in anime enough to go looking for more things to watch on the internet.
K-on really open the doors for me though, I used to say I hated the "big-eyed cutsey" looking shows until it changed my mind entirely.
Oh! likewise! Though the only thing I would bring to the table would be enthusiasm as a new player. If anyone would be open to any other games I would happily join. I actually grabbed a copy of Shadowdark so I can learn something a little rule-light so I can start playing solo and eventually find a group.
