I haven’t spoken to him recently, and I no longer use Facebook which was the way I spoke to him in the past, but the only military person going for office school I was friends with was a boom operator on a refueling aircraft. Maybe that’s why I never experienced any bloodlust from him. Mostly if we discussed his service it was about the boom, about physical training he has to do anyway, etc.

Not everyone is into them. I like some poems, but they’re not really super interesting to me. I don’t dismiss them as an art form, and appreciate they exist, but I don’t get much out of just reading them. I prefer poetic language in music I guess, though I’m not into poems enough to fully identify those. I know I like songs that tell an interesting narrative with unusual words etc, but dunno if they qualify as poems.

5·14 days agoI used to like it, but nowadays I much prefer vinaigrettes. Ginger based Asian ones are good too. White sauces generally feel kinda heavy to me.
That can be inserted several different locations in the sentence and create a different meaning.

3·2 months agoADHD means a lot of games with a ton of hours. Over 1k include Ark, Warframe, FFXIV, Civ V and Civ VI, Monster Hunter games, Elite Dangerous, Fallout 4, Pal world is close at 996h etc. Generally I like a lot of stuff, except maybe most first person shooters, battle royales, and I can’t actually recall playing a sports game past some SNES basketball games. Do Mario mini games count?
Well, they often think they are.
In what is likely a touristy or well traveled section. Sometimes the difference includes how we do our transportation too, like more walking/biking. Maybe a difference in how often we rely on said restaurants too.

Games@lemmy.world•Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% markEnglish
1·5 months agoI do have an edge there as I’m actually pretty technically inclined (I do tech support for living, and at the risk of sounding like touting my own horn, I’m high up the escalation path for my company). So partitions and stuff are common things I work with, and this isn’t nearly my first brush with Linux. It’s just more getting games and a bunch of small unique software working is somewhat different from working with business servers where you have either stricter policies on what gets installed or vendor backup if necessary.
Still, much of my actual work involves solving issues by looking up errors and symptoms, so figuring out the issues here aren’t that hard for me either. While I do appreciate the GUI making it an easy switch from Windows, I’m no stranger to CLI either and feel quite comfortable using it, and documentation for a lot of what I’ve messed with so far has been pretty easy to find and follow.
As for my plans, I’ll probably eventually limit NTFS to one 1tb drive, or maybe do what you said and repetition it down to maybe 500gb, and hopefully most of what I do will be in Linux. I am the type to force myself to learn by force, so I haven’t actually booted back into Windows except for an issue where I couldn’t delete the NTFS partition from Linux. And I’ll probably hardly boot into Windows going forward either.

Games@lemmy.world•Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% markEnglish
9·5 months agoI joined that group today, but it wasn’t necessarily this support thing. I hated Windows update most of the time anyway. Mostly I just needed to buy a new SSD so I could dual boot, which will allow me to transition at my own pace while getting comfortable. I bought a cheap 500gb Saturday.
The other issue is my version of decision paralysis on choosing a distro, which generally is paralysis up until I suddenly just bite the bullet. I went with Nobara since it looked easiest to support my hardware and get into my games quickly.
So far I’ve gotten FFXIV, Warframe, and Enshouded running the way I want, and am slowly downloading my other current games. I have to keep a 200mpbs download limit because I’m working too. I also wiped one of my 2tb drives that mostly had games I was planning to play soon or just started playing to make it exFAT. I’ll probably eventually convert the others but may need to buy another 2tb drive for transfers if needed.
Update: exFAT gave me issues with another game so I ended up just making it a btrfs drive.
You wipe em, and make sure to wash em later. Biodegradable single use will still be more wasteful and probably cost more.
I know this isn’t the point, but I do like to carry a set of portable cutlery around and often use it eating out. It’s usually a smallish case with metal straw(s), chopsticks, a knife, spoon, fork. Which one time lead to me forgetting my metal straw at the restaurant of course…

Games@lemmy.world•Nintendo's Creature Capture Patent Dealt Blow Amid Palworld LawsuitEnglish
7·5 months agoThe decision mentions ARK, which has always been one of my arguments. It’s a survival builder with Dinos, but almost every creature is capturable/tamable in some way or another, aside from some bosses/special enemies. Ark has been around a while, and even added a stored in a ball like element years back, but it probably doesn’t exactly come to mind as a catch em all game for most people.

5·7 months agoSo, I haven’t checked project 2025, but there is a Christian nationalist plan that wants to take over everything called Seven Mountains Mandate. You can just read the link, but the idea is to take over what they consider all major parts of society, including business and have a Christian Dominion.

Hey, I’ve seen this one before https://youtube.com/shorts/B4APOBUpLAs
