Lol I use my PlayStation for rocket League. I just sink into my chair and go. My computer also has Linux, a steam account with a ton of games I never play. The computer is for factorio.

Roommate. The PlayStation never does too many drugs and disappears for weeks, or give it's keys to random shady women.

The PlayStation can hold down a job for more than a month, and has yet to be late on rent.

I have a ps5 I inherited from a roommate that was a hot mess. It's nice to be able to boot it up and shit just works. I've got steam running on my computer, and I play it.

But sometimes it's nice to just boot up and be playing rocket League in 30 seconds. Not worrying about proton or anything else

Side boob is out! Side ball? So hot right now!

I like their mini dill pickles. Great for a snack, great sliced on a sandwich. The mini ones have better texture than the normal sized, more crunch.

I use a prepaid at&t plan. Pay for the year at once. Decent service, I think like a 16g data cap. Comes to 25 a month. I'm happy with it

I tried watching a recent episode and couldn't get past the fact Lisa sounds like an old lady

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

This. The first time I was with a lady, I was surprised how much lower things were. A ween that tiny would basically shoot at 90⁰ to the bowl. Probably be difficult to impossible to aim standing. Dude probably pees in the shower a whole lot.

When the Internet had a butler. A classier time.

 

Ohh ya baby!

 

I stand with the otters

 

Like they could cool their shit, and desalinate water with the waste heat. Provide water to dry areas. Like Baja or Texas. Bonus points if they could run off renewables. Seems like a win win

 

Ripped from PaulDrye@lemmings.world no idea who the original artist was. They are talented AF though!

 

10 of the last 10 years were the hottest on record. It's time. I know so many people that will give lip service to the environment and then think nothing of taking multiple flights per year on the flimsiest of pretexts.

And as all too often happens, people go to poorer countries where they get waited on hand and foot, and then act like they're doing some giant favor to the locals. All too often these tourist sights end up being an unmitigated natural disaster, not to mention locking the locals out of their own back yard.

And then they'll turn around and claim they're "helping the local economy" trying to justify it. It's colonialism by another name. If they paid fair wages to the workers these vacations would become much more expensive, perhaps prohibitively so.

And wtf is wrong with you, you can't relax in your own region? Gonna cook the planet because you can't be happy and relax in your own hemisphere. Y'all need to chill it with the air travel!

 

Thank you all who reached out, it really was awesome.

Was super easy, even my Nvidia cards driver was basically automated. Haven't played anything yet but I'm sure I'll be fine.

I opened up the command thingy a couple of times just to get some settings how I wanted them, but could have gotten by without it.

The biggest stumbling block for me personally was getting the thumb drive in order, then the hardware to boot from it. First you gotta use a thing called Rufus to format the drive correctly, not sure how or why, but you do.

And then I couldn't get my laptop to load bios no matter what key/s I mashed at restart, but searching " advanced startup options" in settings brought me to a menu to reboot from my (now correctly formatted) USB drive.

The rest drove itself. Still some stuff to figure out with it but it's doable. Very polished and user friendly.Thank you all again so much!

I just fucking can't with windows anymore. I'd preach about it but I imagine you've heard it all. I have minimal computer expertise.

I use my PC mainly for streaming, downloading torrent files who's copyright you don't need to worry about, and light gaming. Usually just messing with New Vegas mods.

If someone knows of a good YouTube channel or guide or something written for andelder millennial caveman I would be grateful.

Edit: after having been recommended mint OS and giving it a quick Google, I got this! I haven't fucked with anything linux scince the early aughts. And holy shit has that come a ways. Guess I remembered back and got a little intimidated. Mint is downloading now. As a small f.u. I booted up edge to do it. Ty you beautiful people!
