Oh that isn’t smoke, it’s steam! Steam from the steamy shower I was just having!

Skyrim Fans:

I was also confused at first by the controversy, because I’d been playing for like 20+ hours and I was like “What microtransactions?” Then I checked the main menu and sure enough there’s an “online store” option, which I guess I had just thought was for upgrading to the deluxe edition or buying expansions or whatever. I guess they’re selling rift crystals or ferry stones or something? IDK I still haven’t bothered opening it.

DD1 didn’t have any MTX right? I think I expected it to since “rift crystals” absolutely sound like some kind of premium currency bullshit, but I don’t remember any actual way to buy them. That’s about the only thing I think makes the outrage make sense, it sucks for corporations to start adding shit like that to a series that didn’t have it before and I’d be worried about DD3 in the future being even more upfront with them.

Nice to know about the clock fix, I’ll give that a try. I’ve actually done the bluetooth pairing method before but the problem is it’s a pretty fragile fix - sometimes it just stops working and then I’ve got to go through the whole process again. Easier to just re-pair whenever I switch OSes

I do this every day and the only problems I have is that it throws off Windows’ system clock (requiring a manual re-sync) and I have to re-pair my bluetooth headphones every time

And I could rock that look if it was normal

be the change you want to see in the world

Battle of Cannae

Don’t worry boys, we’re going to give that Hannibal a thrashing and be home in time for garum

In and out, quick five minutes skirmish

My workplace disabled extensions today,

This gives me cold sweats

Same thing happened to me! I was on Ubuntu, trying to replace pulse and when it got removed instantly kicked me to the terminal. Eventually I fixed it but now I also just Mint, lol

A few years ago I was having obscure audio problems on Ubuntu so I tried replacing pulseaudio with pipewire. I was feeling pretty cocky with using the package manager so I tried

sudo apt install pipewire

Installed successfully, realized nothing changed, figured maybe I had to get rid of pulseaudio to make it stick.

sudo apt remove pulseaudio

Just two commands. Instant black screen, PC reboots into the terminal interface. No GUI. Rebooting again just brings me back to the terminal.

I fixed it eventually, but I’m really not very computer literate despite using Linux, so I was sweating bullets for a minute that I might have bricked it irreversibly or something.

whatever comes with the distro I’m using this month
