See this is the mod for Pacific Drive that we all really want. ;)

I generally agree with you. I haven’t seen Signal getting much hype outside Soatok mentioning it the other day, but I could see it as it’s something close to Telegram and people always try to go to whatever is the next closest thing. That said, Matrix isn’t without it’s issues either. While I also prefer decentralized, open source, software, (one of the main reasons I’m here,) my experience with Matrix and XMPP hasn’t been great. Largely because nearly no one I know uses them.

I’ve been using Signal for years, and I can definitely say it’s not “garbage”. I’m not telling anyone else what to use, but there are far worse options out there for sure.

Remnant is brutal. Same situation here with not having anyone to play it with. Good luck!

My Go to for when I get a little time to game is usually something like Steredenn or Judgement Silversword. But I’ve been playing Enshrouded with my boyfriend a lot the last week or two. Got a little server running on my Mac mini. (Whisky is awesome. :))

Any day that starts or ends like this is a good day. Fantastic work. :)

That’s absolutely adorable. :)

This works for people in the state of Florida too.

I’d say ram first off, 8gb is going to make your PC hit that swap on your hard drive (ssd?) a lot more than you want it to and that’ll slow everything down. Go at least 16gb. Then video card.

It seems like the only company I can reliably find lined paper from is Rhodia. That said their paper is very good, and though it comes in tablets, the pages tear out easily and cleanly so you can pull them out and use them as loose leaf. I’m really surprised how difficult it is to find lined paper from companies like Tomoe River, Clair Fontaine, etc over here where I am. (SE US.) I have to basically import everything, so I’m at the whims of what I can get from places like Goulet, Jet Pens, and Amazon.

When I wear a beard it’s gotten pretty salt and pepper. My hair is also beginning to turn gray in a similar fashion but isn’t as far along yet, it’s still mostly darker. I’m heading on 50 though, so I guess it’s about time.

I see it, so I’m guessing it worked.

That’s really cool! :)

My only real complaint is that some of the groups I was in on reddit either aren’t here, or are super small here. As far as the people go, maybe I’ve just been lucky but most folks have been pretty nice, and thus far I haven’t really run into the extremist stuff some folks ahve mentioned.

The thing that really rubs me the wrong way about all this is we pay for Windows, I have 3 licenses for Windows 11 and it’s gotten so annoying that I don’t even use them anymore. I’ve been a Linux user for quite a while already and between Microsoft’s doing more and more data collection, and more ads, I just walked away from it a couple years ago. Fortunately, I was in a position where I could do so. I feel bad for folks that must use Windows for this or that and can’t escape it.

At the moment I’m using a Platinum Preppy .2 extra fine with Platinum blue/black ink. My first EF pen, wanted to see if I liked a nib that small.

In passing. I liked the comic but there aren’t a lot of comics that i’ve read end to end. It’s something I find myself getting more into as I get older ironically.

Thank you. :)

Actually came here to mention this. I can’t imagine anyone that wouldn’t know the difference considering how popular both breeds are.

I’ve heard both good and bad. From what I’ve gathered quality control is still an issue for Majohn pens. So if you get a good one, they’re actually pretty good, but it’s a dice roll as to weather you will or not.
