I keep buying games on sale but I’m just not playing much of my backlog.

I keep going back to a few strategy games and putting even more hours in. The vast majority of my gaming in the past 2 years has been between 3 games.

Ultimate Admiral Dreadnought - Janky, and I have problems with how HE shells are handled in the main mod I play, keep booting it up. 850 hours played.

Star Wars Empire At War. So many amazing mods.

Wartales - game gets stale after a while but it’s good enough that after a bit I go back to it to put even more hours in.

I have so many amazing games that when I do play them I love them, but I keep going back to these strategy games. Oh, and a bunch of time on Need For Speed Heat.

I’ve been spending a bunch on other games, but I’m just not playing them.

My most used distro in the past few years is CachyOS.

Recently swapped to Bazzite because I got tired of the papercuts of running Arch. I also wanted to move to one of the official supported Distros that is supported by my laptop in case I ever need to make a support ticket.

For a while I was part of the number one raiding guild on the server with the worst progression in WoW.

Wyrmrest Accord, you were great.

So I got that going for me, I was among the best of the worst for a couple months!

It is released on August 1st for US market, it would be shipping then.

Right when I decide to buy a Fairphone 6, welp, guess I’m keeping my current phone till the the tariffs drop.

Ancient people were just as smart as modern people, they just weren’t as educated.

Humans are really good at figuring things out and tweaking things based off of previous results.

When I say that the Nazi’s turned on them, I’m saying that these select individuals that thought that working with the Nazi’s would save them. It did not.

There were a few exceptions, there were some people that higher ups in the Nazi party helped to escape. For instance Adolf Eichman was proud of the fact that while many Nazis would point out a few “good ones” among the jews he was more pure in his belief.

The support for deporting Jews into Palestine was called the Haavara Agreement. 60,000 Jews were migrated to Palestine from 1933 to 1939. It was an agreement between the Zionist Federation of Germany and the Nazi government. The thought was that by working with the government they could make things easier on Jews still living in Germany.

Germany also got a lot of good international press for doing it at the time.

Before WW2 there were zionists who worked with the Nazi party in order to work towards creating a Jewish state that the jews could all be sent to. Later on the Nazis turned on these Jews because the process wasn’t fast enough for them and they couldn’t find enough countries to take the people they were deporting.

The first solution for Nazis wasn’t death camps, it was mass deportation.

The Nazis were in general supporters of a Jewish state. Their first solution was mass deportations.

So it isn’t really a historic contradiction.

Slammed down big style.

Steam OS on Steam Deck. Fedora on Framework13 cause reliability. Garuda Mokka on Framework16 cause pretty and it just works.

May move from Garuda back to OpenSuSE Tumbleweed or CachyOS at some point.

I’m still using Gmail, mostly cause of how much of a hassle it is to change to a new email address. Shit like this is really making me find motivation to switch.

They do come out with good hardware now and then. Some of their higher end laser printers are reviewed well. At my job we have an HP laser printer that is older than the store that is still chugging along just fine while being used every day.

Their overall quality is so poor though that it is hard to trust anything they put out.

More consumer linux devices are good though.

I run both on my unraid NAS. I use plex for streaming to my phone over cell data. I use jellyfin for streaming to my laptops and TV.

Plex tends to break every once and a while though. Not often, but it happens enough that I’m replacing it with just having my music on a DAP that is synced with Syncthing.

I also use the comic viewer function of jellyfin.

It’s a game I’m definitely looking forward to after I get a gpu upgrade for my laptop. A 7700s just doesn’t cut it.

Started playing it, decided to wait for later.

Going into debt running Tumbleweed.

I have a 16 and a 13, I thought I’d give away the 13 when I got the 16 but I keep using the 13 as well cause of how portable it is. Lot nicer to lounge about with the 13 than the 16.

I might get the 12 to replace my 13 and use it for drawing practice and web browsing. Performance wise it’d be a downgrade from my 1280p but I don’t really need the performance.

They’re also using an older cpu in these and only one stick of ram to run costs down. It is a low tier 13th gen intel.

In the article they do post about “investor concerns”

22 was MMO and shooters mostly, 23 was dominated by racing games. 24 was BG3 and Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts… mostly just UA.
