My parents have an all black kitten that will lay out on the step below you as you’re actively walking down the stairs. Like, she’ll come upstairs and then follow you down and lay in front of you. It’s like she wants to get stepped on! We’ve stepped on her so many times because she’s always under our feet, and she seemingly doesn’t care!
She’s like 9 months old now, and about 6 pounds, we constantly feel like we’re going to accidentally crush her 🫥
Meanwhile, one of my parents cats refuses to eat wet food and will taste test it by dipping her paw into it and tasting what is on her paw, then usually decides it isn’t what she likes and yeows for something else. She pretty much only eats Temptations Cat Treats.
I did something similar and got a USB C expansion controller for my Galaxy S23. Find a few good mobile games and add in RetroArch and other emulators with a bunch of ROMs and you have yourself a mobile gaming rig!
Yeah I know what you mean. I’m from the North East US and it gets pretty damn humid here (somehow it’s been more humid than places with a tropical climate like Miami, Florida), which extends into the winter. The high humidity, combined with low temperatures (0-35F, not including wind chill) and moderate winds means a damn cold winter.
I was out in Denver, Colorado a few years ago during the late fall, early winter. They had a freak snowstorm which dropped their temperature from like 65F to 25F over night. I didn’t know what to bring so I brought all my winter gear. I got there and was like “This is nothing!” because the humidity was low. I was outside in jeans and a heavy/double lined hoodie and was fine. Normally in NYC I’d be wearing an Arctic level jacket due to the wind and humidity.
My buddy was in the army and stationed in Fairbanks, Alaska. After being there for a year he came home for Christmas and showed up at my house in shorts, sandals, and a hoodie. It was like 30F, he said it felt like summer to him 😂
I’ve never seen an error that just says “bad platform”.
Fixing computer problems is essentially just being good at searching for stuff related to your problem. For example in your problem it would just be googling “Linux bad platform ≤name of game>” and guaranteed someone else has had the same problem and either them or someone else has figured out a fix for it. You then apply that fix, if that doesn’t work, try the next result. If it gives you a new problem, rinse and repeat.
Look up the XKCD comic about fixing a computer, that’s literally how we do it. My dad asked me a similar question to yours, I literally printed out the comic and taped it next to the computer and said “this is what I do”.
About 2 years ago (I’ve been working from home for the past 3 years, a week here or there was spent at my parents), years after I had printed out that comic, he said “I just realized that your job is essentially knowing how to look for the information you need and how to apply it when you find it”. He’s an electrician, so not really the same set of skills haha.
WTF? Really? I never listened to him much, but I know from what I’ve heard he’s beyond amazing.
Edit: according to Wikipedia you’re missing a few hundred 😳
Buckethead’s discography currently includes 435 studio albums (388 of which are in the Pike series), one live album, four special releases, five demo tapes, three solo DVD video releases, two DVD video releases with Cornbugs, three music videos, three solo videography releases, and 16 videography releases with other artists.
Edit 2: his origin story is hilarious, dude definitely has a screw loose 😂
I was eating it (KFC chicken), and I put the mask on (that he had just bought after watching Halloween 4) and then the bucket on my head. I went to the mirror. I just said, ‘Buckethead. That’s Buckethead right there.’ It was just one of those things. After that, I wanted to be that thing all the time.
Dell is well known for their proprietary fuckery, both in hardware and software. Pretty much anything other than a Dell or an Ultrabook like the Surface or MacBooks (obviously) should give you very little issue. Look for something that uses Intel NICs and you should be fine, Realtek NICs are poorly supported in Linux.
Windows is also a clusterfuck of spaghetti code that only the most masochistic person would want to tackle. There’s so much legacy stuff in there it’s ridiculous. For example you can’t name a file com because of the DOS days when a COM file allowed you to access the Serial ports.
