Reddit is called as such because “I read it on Reddit”
Do you need to vent about something?
Let it all out. Be a storm

Those notes originally started as a reply to someone, but they evolved into more of a small treasure map for a lot of the important parts of cracking games on Linux. As I finished up the post, I noticed that it was almost exactly at the maximum length it could be...

What communities ("subreddits") would you like to see?

ULPT: To eavesdrop on people around you, put in your earbuds/headphones and pretend to listen to music, but don't actually play any music.

Any other chores works as well.
How was your Father's Day?
Mine was mostly pretty low-key, which is how I like it. I got some small gifts from my wife and daughter, including a 7oz hammer with a colorfully painted handle. I actually really liked that. For dinner my mother-in-law took us out to an expensive steakhouse, where I had a wonderful ribeye, but I don't think it was worth the...
