Not at my games, we only use true American ternary - 🦅, 🍔, and 🛢️

This is one thing I love about DCC (among several), that warriors can attempt a mighty deed along with their attack to get extra effects, like slashing their ankles, throwing sand in their eyes, swinging from a chandelier or anything else. Then the GM decides what effect it has. It makes warriors a lot more bad-ass than just whack whack whack.

I’ve been using HDR on Linux since February or March and it works pretty well. MPV works great (with vk_hdr_layer), and games work if you run them in Gamescope, which has its own complications but overall it’s pretty good.

Yep, all my classes they said to SSH into the Linux labs to test your code, except for my Assembly class where we had to use an ARM emulator that was only on Windows. I had to swallow a bit of my pride and remote desktop into the Windows labs instead.

My french teacher in high school said that everyone gets winded going up stairs, cause people who are fitter walk up the steps faster

The power went out on the 19th (Washington state), so I pulled out Carved By The Garden, a solo journaling RPG that I purchased kinda on a whim but never tried. It was my first time trying a solo RPG but it went better than I expected, it got pretty intense by the end. It was a horror RPG as well, so playing in the middle of the night with no power, flashlight in one hand, was pretty cool. I was a little unsure of how well the journaling system would work but it went pretty smoothly once it got rolling.

Tonight I just played a DCC horror funnel, “Creep, Skrag, Creep”. It went pretty well, lots of characters were killed and lots of luck was burnt, people were burning eight luck at a time which I’ve never seen before. We play a lot of DCC but this was separate from our other campaigns.

Amazon Sidewalk?

I have home and root partitions encrypted with LUKS, and since they use the same password it automatically unlocks both of them. I think it tries using the first successful password to unlock the other partitions.

Started playing Factorio again with a friend, been fun so far. Just today I played Tooth and Tail again which is really cool, as well as Skullgirls Second Encore which I’m not great at but is still fun.

Some splitscreen multiplayer games I’ve played and enjoyed:

• It Takes Two - 2 player couch. Amazing game
• Octodad - 4p. Every player controls one or two limbs of an octopus, who needs to pretend to be a normal father
• Nom Nom Galaxy - 2 player couch, 4 player online. Land on an alien planet and build a soup factory. Collect ingredients and fight against another corporation.
• Crawl - 4p. One player is a hero running through a dungeon, the other players control monsters trying to kill them. Whoever kills the hero then becomes the hero. Whoever kills the boss first, wins. Great soundtrack and art.

• Guns, Gore & Cannoli - 4p. Arcadey shoot lots of zombies side scroller.

Like 4 or 5 years ago I bought a refurbished Pixel 2 XL for like $150 or $200 or something. Works great, I don’t need to upgrade (although storage is a little small). The only issue is it hasn’t had security updates since 2020 which is a little scary.

I use Strawberry with JamesDSP for Linux (on Pipewire) and the equalizer works, not sure how other equalizer software does it though.

Wikipedia has a list, it may not have every single one but it should have most of them.

Yes, every video you download or stream is actually compressed quite a lot, the bitrate just determines how much compression is applied. Higher bitrate means the file is bigger and less compression is done, while low bitrate means the video has a lot less bits to store all that data and so has to do more compression.

Please tell me what calculator app is as nice as a physical calculator, I haven’t found one yet

They said it won’t be backported to 24.05. It seems like it’s available in unstable now though.

It’s merged into NixOS but it will take a day or two to be compiled and saved in the binary cache. You can track that here.

These aren’t browser games, but could still be fun.

I used to play Battle for Wesnoth a lot as a kid, both with my dad and by myself, and as it’s turn-based it should run fine on a raspberry pi.

OpenTTD could be fun, although it may be a little complicated depending on how old they are. It’s not very difficult in terms of challenge though, it’s more of a sandbox once you get past a certain point. There’s also sandbox options to give yourself lots of money if you didn’t want to worry about money and just build cool trains and stuff.

I used to play a lot of Supreme Commander with my dad as well, so maybe something similar like Beyond All Reason or ZeroK could work if they take an interest to that kind of game. I haven’t tried them though.
