Wonderful! I’ve been hoping to learn to do this to replace my neighbor’s vinyl fence. What’s your preferred style? Do you recommend any resources for learning the skill?

Picking Up the Pieces (2010)

The test subject was Everett True

That makes two wholelings and a fatling total

You’re in for a treat! I tend to still prefer the parser based EGA versions for nostalgia reasons but it’s very well done and faithful to the original.

I’m longing for another play-through thanks to you! Maybe I’ll go fighter then paladin instead of my usual magical thief.

So, you want to be a hero?

Probably my most replayed game, along with Betrayal at Krondor.

Have you checked out the excellent remake of QfG2?

Terry Pratchett once said: “I don’t think The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was the funniest Science Fiction novel ever written. The funniest Science Fiction novel ever written was Bill, The Galactic Hero”.

I wear earplugs daily and nightly due to a sensory disorder and recently tried a new kind that’s by far the best from the many I’ve tried in terms of comfort. They’re also excellent in noise reduction.

Ditto. I just farted to look into this yesterday and found the trash guides. It was pretty incomprehensible and I gave up. I hope to come back to this thread later and see that someone has explained how to set this up simply.

404 media seems to be doing good work.

They’re actually all Hufflepuff

I hope it sparks debate and causes people to take seriously the central point of the book, namely the grave threat posed to the world by the U.S. effort to maintain global dominance. The facts laid out in the book are disturbing and in many ways terrifying, and my hope, one I know that Prof. Chomsky has long shared, is that the public will come to understand the danger that we are in and act collectively to radically democratize existing power structures.

Faith’s Hymn by Beautiful Chorus. It’s a capella, very gentle and harmonious humming and singing. Spotify

When I was in highschool my mother left a pot of stock simmering and went to work, except instead of leaving it on low she left it on high. I came home to a smoke filled apartment, and the pot was full of chicken bone shaped black carbon. As I grabbed the handle and brought it toward the sink molten metal poured out of the heavy base into the sink. It was scary and I’m grateful I wasn’t severely burned and that our place didn’t burn down!

Dark meditation retreats are common in Tibetan Buddhism. The birthing canal metaphor is also extremely common in ritual ceremonies.

Thanks. Just set it up on one of my computers. I’ll be doing the rest as time allows. There’s a lot I love about it already, familiar but with better defaults, and including search engines like SearXNG. I hope enough of us can switch and send a message to Mozilla, though that feels very unlikely to stop the enshittification.

Does it support containers and sync settings between installs on multiple systems? If so I’m in without hesitation.

Yes, and the intergenerational trauma goes back to time immemorial. Healing my own trauma has made me recognize how absolutely ubiquitous it is. I feel called to do what I can to help shift things for others, seems to me to be the thing this world needs most.

I’ve been wanting a cosy rpg or action rpg that’s easy to pick up and play in shorter steam deck bursts. This looks perfect! I’m open to any other suggestions people may have.
