What are you doing this weekend?
This topic is part of a weekly series. It is meant to be a place for users to discuss their weekend.
If you have any plans, things you want to get done, things you have done, things you haven't done, or even if you just want to talk about how you're doing this weekend, this is a place for casual discussion about those things.
A list of all previous topics in this series can be found here.
So, what (or how) are you doing this weekend?
I sent my laptop off to get serviced, which was nervewracking ("Hey, here's the most expensive thing I own. Please protect it, cardboard!"). I won't get it back for probably a week or two, so I'll be sharing time on my husband's computer until then.
I really want to start The Witcher 3, which was my Not-So-Secret Santa gift from a generous Tildes user, but I'm going to hold off until I can play it on my own computer. I have no idea if the save would transfer appropriately from my husband's Windows machine to my Linux one.
Given that I am on a Windows box for the first time in a long time, I might start up some games of interest that Proton can't run, probably starting with the Shenmue remaster.
Outside of gaming, I plan to read a good amount and relax with my dog and the hubby. We just finished with busy holiday plans and returns to work, so this weekend is a good chance for us to chill and decompress.
On Saturday me and my immediate family will head to my parent's house for board games and spending time together.
I'm hoping that we can convince my wife to play a new board game. She's really into about three games, and they're starting to wear a bit thin.
On Saturday have to head to my university to go check some papers (am working as a TA). And then after that will probably start watching The Wire and start doing a course on Django/Javascipt that I've been eyeing for a while (also watch a few videos of Statistical Rethinking on YouTube). Besides all of this have a huge catalogue of books piled up that Ive been meaning to read for a long time now so will do that too in between breaks
EDIT: also recently I got the adobe creative cloud, planning on learning lightroom/photoshop/premiere pro/after effects/illustrator, anybody have any tips on which one I should start off with?
I've got Sunday off, which is surprising. I'm gonna just do some routine chores and errands and maybe watch a movie or something (I've been putting off Liz and the Bluebird for a while).
Traveling back to Milano, this time via truck. It's going to be a long, unpleasant Sunday.
Added Miracast to my desktop with a USB dongle. Not sure if it's actually using it since my computer was connected directly to the router, but using it to play Steam Games on my TV and wireless controls on the other side of the room is something else.
