For me, it’s Grim Dawn, honestly. (And Diablo before that) 10 classes to choose 2 from means a lot of new skills and builds. Tons of random loot, but also recipes to make and collect.

I mostly play with mods now. Grim Internals, full rainbow, some rep and exp gain ones, and the Item Assistant. I play solo, and have enjoyed every hour of it!

PAX - before there was PAX Prime or PAX East.

The thing that gets me a lot of the time is falling up. I would trip while running or riding a bike, and lose contact with the ground. Soon I’m beyond any trees that I could grab, and just falling. Up. Until it wakes me up.

I’ve had nightmares about it since I was a kid (I don’t know when “old” starts, but I’m probably closer to that than to being a kid. Well, in age - I’m still pretty immature 😅)

I have had quite a few nightmares about not being able to find my kids during zombie apocalypses.
Same basic thing tho: the scariest part wasn’t the setting or scenario, it was not being able to save my kids from harm.

Haha - you too! I am also going to have to look into that, just in case 😅

Hell, I could be wrong too :-P I’ve never gone in that direction - only adding a Linux dual boot from USB stick. That sounds kinda scary, and would definitely make it easy.

Well, damn. Thanks for warning me about that possibility - looked like more steps that included BIOS last I checked, but as I said, I’ve never needed the process.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: I should note that I have installed Windows from a USB stick recently, I’ve just never already had another OS installed and then going to Windows. Most of my experience is installing a Linux flavor for dual boot.

I guess I don’t know - I think you’d still have to go into BIOS and switch it to boot from USB? I don’t know about the rest of it, but I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t just start installation. Unless it’s a thumb drive specifically tailored to take over someone’s system?

So yes, you could reinstall Windows, but it would still require a reboot to BIOS to allow for it. Am I missing something? What’s the big “gotcha” that I missed? I genuinely don’t know, and since I am not an expert on installation of OSes, if you could enlighten me, that could be useful for me.

I don’t feel like that’s exclusive to Lenovo, fwiw. I have an Asus laptop, and it went like that for me installing Linux from a USB stick. It was a hassle and you’re right that it seems harder than it needs to be.

I don’t have any idea why it’s like that, but it feels like it’s a better option than someone being able to walk up to my PC/laptop/whatever and change my os just by using a thumb drive without any other hoops to go through. That’s just where I stand on the issue, but you’re right that it sucks for the owner/user.

Kevin Conroy and Adam West are both awesome Batmans, but Lego Batman isn’t bad either.

Kevin Conroy was a pretty kick-ass live action Batman, too.

I got greedy! 😅

It became a thing in Lemmy 0.19 - as long as you’re on an instance that has updated to that, it should be available to you. At the bottom of the settings page in the web ui, but if you use an app they might not expose that to you yet.

If the apps don’t have instance blocking yet, the webui does (in 0.19)… I haven’t tested it, but it’s there, at the bottom of my settings page 🙂

If it closes well enough that it can go in a bag or pocket, the handle doesn’t matter as much. Thanks - since I don’t go to many stores and I block as many ads as possible, I may have never known it existed.

ETA: I appreciate the suggestion and link. Something for me to look into, since I kinda do deserve nice things.

Yeah, I have one from Starbucks - it was a gift, and I don’t know if they are all like this one - but the lid has a tendency to slosh and seep. At least it doesn’t affect the flavor, tho! If I would just take half a cup, it would probably work - but then I have to go back more often.

I have a tendency to overlook the “shishi” brands (that cost more so you can have their logo? But what the hell, I don’t even want a logo!) (Lol - conspicuous consumption kinda irks me) and don’t have a ton to spend on expensive mugs one after another… but I guess I deserve nice things that let me live “normally,” so maybe I should spend a shit ton on a single mug finally.

Anyway, thank you! Ceramic insides seem to be on my list of must-haves.

I can try a different kind of thermos again, why not.

Thank you, kind internet stranger.

(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞

ETA: That came out snarkier than I had intended. This is a problem that can be solved by buying new shit and risking it not working too. I’m just an idiot and an asshole. Sorry.

I appreciate your suggestion, and because you did nothing wrong, I’ve deleted each snarky reply that came out by reflex.

If you have a brand that doesn’t leak, slosh, make my coffee taste like ass, or cost a shit ton of money, I’d take that suggestion far more seriously than

Try a lid?

Because, duh.

Omg, I can finally use my cane and carry more than one f*n thing at a time! Or - on a rough day - use my walker and carry my coffee without fear of a tiny bump into something spilling coffee everywhere! It’s the little things like that that I miss

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Like, how do you aim it?

The generic and basic ones you might have to sit in a slightly different position depending on where you sit, but the more expensive ones have an arm that you can move forward or backward to aim where you need it. I use it almost all the way forward, husband uses it most of the way back.

How do you dry off?

Ours has a fan - you can adjust how warm the air is and how hard it blows (I don’t like it too warm because it feels like it burns my asshole). You use the fan to get as dry as you want to - a lot like the machines that dry your hands at public restrooms, actually. When you’re done, you’re either dry enough to pull up your pants and wash your hands, or you use a lot less tp to dry the last few droplets.

A Christmas Horror Story (2015) has been one of my favorites (since it came out, obviously) but my family doesn’t usually let me pick the movies to watch because - and this is true - I like bad movies.

…Not like I only like bad movies, or all the movies that I like are bad… But I have a track record of liking movies that the rest of the fam thinks are bad.
