I'm a new Bazzite (nvidia) user, but I use Linux in various flavors for self-hosting already so I'm not a complete newbie.

I'm personally ok with the immutability of the os on my desktop, I'd rather be more free to break things in my homelab environment than lose an OS install on my desktop because I flew too close to the sun.

I 100% understand the appeal though.

This was certainly a day of school for me

The game was ahead of it's time in terms of combat. It felt janky at times but it plays like a souls-like with how slow and deliberate you need to be once enemies start having proper counters to what you do.

And the time dagger mechanic was always fantastic to me conceptually.

Here's hoping Ubi doesn't fuck it up beyond belief.

I was in a similar situation, but as the boyfriend at the time

I'd driven 1.5hr away to see my then girlfriend at college. We went out for groceries and were just pulling into her campus, making a left on a yellow when a cyclist went straight on a yellow. She flipped over the hood of my car and broke her collarbone.

I'd almost come to a complete stop when the actual collision happened but was still on the hook for the fines and license points for failing to yield.

The girl I hit didn't press charges or anything. And as far as I'm aware she's doing ok.

Despite the trauma, I kept driving out of necessity, I had to get 80+ miles home somehow and I definitely wasn't going to Uber from there.

Now we got married, and we both have long commutes for our jobs (in opposite directions unfortunately, we just moved to a more central spot for it) and our jobs require travel between multiple locations throughout the day.

Quitting driving would've kept us from job opportunities that allow us to have the lifestyle we live today.

I don't think you're overreacting, but imo you shouldn't let something like that define your adult life. Accidents happen, and this was probably the best-cass scenario in your case.

Linus? That you?

Oh so we're going back to our roots with this one, a riot in Falador it is then.

Iirc they were never going to let us self-host the servers with Zanaris. The plan was always for Jagex to host the servers and hosts to pay them for it

Meh. I'd rather have more, better content in the base game than experimental stuff at the fringes, personally.

We need to stop using language like "deported" in these cases.

That man was kidnapped and put into an out-of-country concentration camp.

This is blatant Nazism. Let's call a spade a spade.

'Scheme' has that connotation in the US, yeah.

I know publications outside the US use it in a much more neutral manner, but it's funny to us.

Nuggets with Sriracha tho

 

I saw the lack of content here and thought I'd share my story

I first discovered IF back in Dec 2018, and did it all the way through the start of 2020. I (5'6") went from 240lb down to 195.

Then well, that thing we all went through in 2020 happened and I eventually stopped. It was also a hugely transitory period in my life and I let my weight come back on. (I moved out of the house, in with my now wife, changed jobs twice, moved again... All in the midst of the pandemic and its related insanity)

Now I'm in a much better spot, but I've put everything I lost back on and more.

That said, I've now gone from 250 to 240. Trying to eat lighter, snack less, and be intentional about my macros. I like sticking to a 16:8 window, but I shorten it if it makes sense on a given day.

I remember the community being a huge motivator, so, Good luck out there!

 

I've missed this series for a long time, and I'll never forgive Epic for dropping it like a baby giraffe.

It plays pretty well on my gaming rig, but I'd love to hear about how it plays on lower-end systems. Maybe I'll install it on my 2-in-1 so I can use the touch screen.
