This is such a great writeup, thank you! I always can’t believe the actual photos I see of Group B races, lol.

Looks great! So is the tofu air fried, and the rest stir fried? Or steamed?
Sometimes I hear about other people’s storage setups and I think, “that is overkill, no one really needs that.” According to this thread, I am quite mistaken about that. 😳
I have 2,057 songs, taking up a measly 51 GB, on a Funkwhale server. No movies or TV shows.
That should get a little larger soon. I have about 100 vinyl records that I want to make digital rips of.

Nice one! And yeah, my brain is definitely in five-letter mode for these types of games, haha.
Having a game out there on any platform is super cool. I love the art style, too!
First time I’m hearing about this; looks great!
Pretty new for me too, I just found it last week. I think this game is my favorite Wordle-like game. It’s so much harder to think of a real word that fits the given letters when it’s a six letter word, and I like that the option is there to not use a real word. Sometimes I’ll just leave the game for an hour or so while I try to think of something that could fit.
I didn’t have the patience for RPGs like that when they were originally out (and I was a little kid), but I’ve also been enjoying them on my Anbernic device. For me it’s been Phantasy Star IV.
Total War: Shogun 2. No idea why I decided to reinstall it out of the blue; just wanted to pick it up again after not playing for a long-ass time. I played it a bit when it first came out, but just didn’t really get into it. I’m seeing if it’s playable on the couch with a Steam controller now. Verdict so far: maaaaybe.
Nice! How do you like the quiet cherry switches? I have some quiet Zeal switches (“Zilent”) and I really like them, but I’m curious about others, too.
One hand pretty much exclusively. I almost always use my right; I might occasionally use my left if I’m needing to hold a key with my right hand, but I that doesn’t come up often. It really just fit on the desk better to put it in the middle. At first I thought it might be more ergonomic that way, but I don’t think it really makes a difference.
(This is OP, by the way, for some reason your comment didn’t get forwarded to my Mastodon account that I originally posted from.)
Yeah, I think XFCE is my new favorite desktop environment, regardless of which distribution I use in the future.
Unfortunately, I don’t have great insight on those two, since I keep my laptop setup pretty simple.
I don’t really mess with the init system very much, so I can’t really weigh in on that. I’ve probably only run “sudo service start <thing>” a few times, so aside from the CLI being a little different from systemd, I haven’t noticed a difference. There would probably be another learning curve if you’re looking to actually create system services, but I never end up doing that on my laptop.
I haven’t had any issues with the packages, but that’s probably because I use the Flatpak if it’s available. So yes, the debian repo wouldn’t be current, but all of the daily things I use (browser, Thunderbird, Steam, text editor) get updates from the Flathub repo. The built-in MX package manager has a section for Flathub, so you don’t have to add anything for that.
I’ve been curious about antiX ever since I installed MX Linux on my laptop. MX Linux says it’s a “collaborative effort between antiX and MX” – it seems like a slightly heavier version of antiX, using XFCE instead of IceWM for the desktop, but otherwise leaning towards lower resource use.
The one thing keeping me from checking out antiX is that I’ve just been liking MX Linux so much, it stopped me from distro hopping, and I just don’t want to start again, haha.
Metal Gear Solid. Only had a few minutes to play it – I mainly just wanted to see how it looked, so I only got through the very first introductory room. Looks just like how I remembered it. I bought the collection with MGS 1, 2, and 3. I’ve already played a fair amount of the first game (although like…15 years ago), but never beat it. I only ever played MGS 2 on a friends Playstation 2 occasionally, and have never played the third game. So I’m really looking forward to those.
I’m kind of surprised that it’s only 51 GB. They’re all FLAC files ripped from CDs – I was expecting like 300 GB at least.
So apparently this 1TB SSD is going to last me a while. :P
