An old shoe. Just one. You can even tie it on by the laces.

They do make little 1-serving packets of PB, kind of like the ones for BBQ sauce or honey mustard. Sometimes you can find them at hotel continental breakfasts.

I don’t know what GOG galaxy is but I assume it’s a storefront like Steam.

Yep, basically that. No you don’t need it to launch games, I would skip it if this is your only game from GOG.

Sounds like if you run by opening Galaxy and hitting play, it won’t be the native version and will run through Rosetta 2 but if you run it from your applications folder it’s the native version. This is a bit odd because that makes it sound like by default what you have installed is BOTH versions which sounds like an awful waste of disk space

I don’t game on Mac these days but that seems very plausible.

If you do want another launcher option, Heroic works on Mac. I’m not sure if it gives any different options on what version to install. https://heroicgameslauncher.com/

Día de los Muertos, because of the amazing art at the very least. Plus, who wouldn’t want a second Halloween of sorts? (I know the reasons to celebrate are very different)

Also, Earth Day and Arbor Day, because our trees and planet are awesome.

Some insects are attracted to light sources, but not mosquitos. They seek out the things our bayou friend already mentioned.

Many are from a huge list (some modified) but I picked out favorites that seemed fitting for a pet and it was actually easier to just retype them. Some were my ideas (e.g. Lt. Dangle because I love Reno 911). I didn’t want duplicates so alphabetizing was the simplest way to avoid that. And yes I giggled pretty much the whole time 😁

I’ll second this entirely.

Prey 2006 is a slightly gory boomer shooter with interesting topsy-turvy levels, gravity tricks, a few cool enemies and guns and powers, and a campy alien abduction / invasion story. It might be a little underrated in its genre. Definitely fun.

But Prey 2017 was more of a clever stealth action / psych horror title in the vein of Deus Ex and of course System Shock. Brilliant interconnected level design, a deep story, a good (though not super original) roster of guns and superpowers, some tricky puzzles, and a few interesting and enemies. It gets a good amount of love but I still think it deserves wider recognition as an excellent game.

It’s frankly stupid that they have the same name.

Windows 7 Ultimate for me. I still kept it as a boot option on my main PC until about a year ago because I thought I still needed it for a couple windows apps and games.

I tried Win8 at one point and hated the changes. I also tried Win10 and one of those “forced bloody updates” bricked my machine so I said ‘fuck that’ for good.

I’ve dabbled in Linux for 20 years, and run Ubuntu on my living room HTPC for at least a dozen. My main PC runs EndeavourOS now and even gaming has been pretty great.

I mean if you’re down to NetBSD as your pick you’ve probably already made some big concessions so plugging into Ethernet isn’t a huge leap at that point.

Most likely yes, as many others have said. Of course you’ll likely have to pick a very lightweight DE.

As a fallback there is always NetBSD.

Ha, I had one and it’s what first came to mind too. Pretty useless.

But I’ve only ever been able to do from the 12nd onward…

Not yet, but it’s not a chance I’d be willing to take. They have at least one neighbor who’s supposedly been arrested for theft. He used to watch their dogs for them but when they found out they stopped talking to him and changed the locks.

No kidding! Glad someone gets it. A couple I know who Instagrammed their entire cross-Europe vacation last year couldn’t understand why I don’t want to travel at the same time as them this year even though we’re going some of the same places 🤦‍♂️

Ohhhh… TIL!

I’ve had elderflower liquor (St. Germain is very nice) but not elderberry.

There are some southern or appalachian insults that I’m sure would confuse foreigners, even those who are functional in English.

Comparisons like “He’s twelve ounces short of a pint”, backhanded compliments like “I just love how you don’t care what people think”, idioms like “three sheets to the wind”. And then of course there’s “rode hard and put up wet”.

“Your mother was a hamster!” is pretty self-explanatory though.

But elderberries smell rather nice. Or at least the last elderberry jam I had was quite lovely. So that certainly makes for a confusing insult.
