  • The key for me has been finding a job I don’t hate, and I don’t have to take home with me. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t LOVE my job, it’s not what I’d like to do for the rest of my life or anything, but it’s decently manageable most days and I don’t have any outside of hours responsibilities.

    As an added bonus, I’ve always been a second shift person ever since highschool and it still works in my life right now. This allows me to spend the hours I have the most energy at home doing what I actually enjoy like my hobbies and such.






  • The thing that’s fucking me up in the last month since I switched is the fact that when I press Windows Key + P to switch Displays to just my second monitor (when I want to use my consoles), switching it back causes KDE to count the monitors as separated for some reason. Like they are virtually spaced apart, so I’m stuck in one monitor instead of being able to use both. It also resets my second monitor to the primary one for some reason. Very strange, never an issue on Windows.


  • I ran my Pebble Time into the ground, so I’m hyped as fuck for this. I bought it in my early highschool years and wore it nearly daily until last year when the rumble motor finally gave out. Still wear it from time to time, but it not buzzing for notifications is a bit of a deal breaker for me.

    I bought a replacement and it’s so pristine I didn’t want to risk slowly damaging it at work, but now I’m charging that bitch up and running it into the ground until new Pebble comes out. Thanks for sharing OP, this news made me week!

    Bonus, here’s what mine looked like as of a few years ago right when the vibration went out. You can see I slapped a skin on it to cover up the bezel scratches, but the screen still looks totally fine!




  • Spider-Man 2, it’s was the cookie cutter definition of a safe sequel. More of the first game, but marginally bigger and better. Combat felt improved, web wings made traversal more fun, story was taken up a notch (though I still think I prefer the first games overall). I kinda just felt like my time with the game was a little too short for seventy dollars. Honestly just another couple side quest lines would have been enough to make it reach the playtime that I would have expected. I did really enjoy it. It is a better game than the first one. 16hrs is just a little too short for this kind of game I think. I am very hopeful for the DLC and I’m really happy with where they took the story. I need to go back and complete the collectathon stuff, but I have seen some of the Spider Shots you get for them and I’m not super interested really. Most seven out of ten game I have finished this year.



  • I circled back to vanilla no DLC RimWorld. I’ve owned the game for years, have quite a bit of time in Dwarf Fortress, but due to the fact I tried to mod the game right away it didn’t hook me. Turns out it’s really hard to learn a game and look stuff up when you have 200+ mods that alter things in tiny ways to make them completely different than base game. New colony is going strong! Just finished unlocking the advanced research bench, stable food source, strong outer walls. Such a fun game. I’ve been missing out. If anyone has any beginner tips or anything let me know. I’m gonna try to make it all the way and build the space ship!


  • I am still amazed by how they totally and completely one upped the numbered sequel to Life is Strange with a spin off side game. True Colors had so many tense moments and crazy plot twists, and in true Life is Strange fashion, both endings I feel have positives and negatives for the main character.

    Warning! Don’t understand Lemmy spoilers yet. Read at your own risk!!

    There’s the ending where you stay, you finally have a home, a family, and peace, but you give up your aspirations of being a musician.

    Or there’s the ending where you get to travel the world, no home, but at least you have your partner and your music to share with everyone.

    I actually picked the second ending strangely enough. I think most agree the first one is the better one, but I kinda thought that Alex would rather seek out greener pastures with her partner then stay in a place with so much trauma and bad memories. I like how the endings make you think and are more divisive than LiS 2.
