These secondary reaction comments are my favorite; this one got me laughing good

Yep iirc virt manager is just a gui front end for qemu though imo certainly makes it easier to manage the vm’s

Yep, initially tried to setup virtual box as I’m more familiar there but could not for the life of me get around install errors. After setting the OS to read-write installing virt manager was pretty straight forward; the only real hiccup I had was that I needed to install win-fsp on the guest os before installing guest additions like virtio-fs which allowed me to add the shared folder between host/guest. Edit: it also required enabling shared memory and updating some registry keys during windows install to ignore the windows 11 install requirements.

My son-in-law got a deck as a cheap gaming PC but also needed to be able to use Adobe software which we were struggling to get working in bottles / wine so we setup virt manager and added a windows VM with a shared folder between host and guest VM. Works great and he’s learning a lot about linux as his daily driver without losing access to the tools he needs for work.

Had a great time but no longer want to spend that much time

Just finished reading the beta for Everspark TTRPG and all of these are possible. Excited to play it with my teens.

I use SimpleLogin emails but route them through DDG and works great

Friend moved and changed his cell number at same time… I didn’t yet have his email so lost contact.

Found him years later at a random shop, got his new contact info and still besties today :)

Pumpkin - local creamery is divine

On tabletop me and teens have been enjoying the Nexalis TTRPG

Yeah most of my skills are in the 40’s aside from fishing and foraging from lots of magnet fishing

Total level 443 so far and while the core loop was already good the new content has really elevated the experience

Started playing BAR recently and am loving it. Prior to this I’d only played some SC2 and watched some videos about FAF.

I’ve been playing with my 8yr kiddo against bots as we both learn the mechanics. The amount you can customize a match has been great.

Also been watching the pro league tournaments on their YouTube channel which are great fun to watch.

We have a big family and have named ours:

• Beast = 2004 Ford Excursion
• Burgundy = 2011 Honda Odyssey (dark red)
• Bus = 2004 Ford Econoline E350

It never gets old yelling down the hall “to the beast!” :D

Water fountain

She absolutely preferred it over a standard bowl

95% is closer to what board game publishers take - best I’ve seen is 10% for the designer

Granted they have a lot more to lose

From that perspective seems Steam is perfectly fine

Is that the Logitech MX Ergo? Love that mouse

Ditto though '84

+1 for Minetest

I run a server on our local network that kiddos love

It was fairly simple to setup including which game type and mods

Kiddos have gotten back into the Pokemon card game so we’re likely playing Pokemon TCG Live

Also hoping to finally break in the Nexalis ttrpg I’ve had on the shelf for a while now with the teens
