I wish it were true, but no, not really.

Because my PC is an entertainment box. I don’t want to turn it into a problem to solve.

Also, Nvidia.

I’ve played it once in the past. Just the normal poker with five cards in your hand and you get two rounds of changing cards.

It was fun.

I lost 2 imaginary dollars.

I guess, but at that point I can do that in your average JRPG or something. I feel like it would be more fun with people. Unless they’re paying the Texas game with all the cards in the middle. That one is complicated and you only have two cards of yours and I really don’t have fun with it.

I don’t get slot machines. They’re not even slightly fun.

I wish casinos had fun games with small bets. Like, I don’t know, poker where you can play several hands with 20 dollars.

But as it stands, I don’t think I’ll ever visit a casino again. It’s either boring slots or you need to be rich to play the “real” games.

So far it’s working fine, yeah. No need to choose among a zillion distros someone swears is the best, I know for a fact there are first-party drivers for everything, no need to fiddle around with CLI, it plays everything my graphics card can muster, and I don’t need to worry about game compatibility or whether Nvidia deigned to support my OS.

Windows has a lot of problems, but if you’re just looking to play games without too much complexity… It’s as close to “it just works” as I can imagine getting without switching to a console (or limiting myself to the few games that work on Apple devices, I guess).

Plus, big argument, it’s familiar. You can forgive more annoyances when you’re not learning something new. Humans are just lazy like that.

One day, Linux will be ready for a no-headaches gaming PC. Genuinely looking forward to it.

Uh, high school science teacher. Never really looked it up until today but considering there’s science on the reverse effect (less oxygen for slower aging), I’d say it’s probably not bullshit.

Damn it

I just meant breathing more oxygen makes you agree faster

Oxygen chamber? Sounds like a great way to die early

Microwaves designed for public use often don’t have them. I never really knew whether it’s because they don’t need them because they have more magnetrons or something, or just because they prioritize easy cleaning.

TikTok? YouTube? Blue Sky?

Even older meme!

Bad memory. It’s built-in and non-optional.

Is it usually earlier in the US? Sounds a bit on the high side for where I live too.

I imagine they can digest them just fine

Aah, parenting competence tests. The thing that SOUNDS like a good idea until you think about it for more than two seconds.

Curie looks tired. If I’m gonna embarrass myself with anyone anyway, I’ll invite her and we’ll have a relaxing cup of herb tea at least.
