Well that’s fucking spiffy.
Thanks!
I pre-ordered a game once. It came out 09NOV2010.
Still haven’t played it. Probably never will. The HD remaster is on steam now with mixed reviews.
Never made that mistake again.
No need to get misogynistic, friend.
“Crazy cat ladies” (formerly known as: witches, spinsters, old maids, among others) have historically been women who don’t marry, and prefer low-key companionship with cats (who demand a consensual relationship, and won’t tolerate being imposed upon) and other animals, as well as woman-to-woman friendships, over traditional domestic duties as a brood mare and household servant.
The whole hoarding thing is a trope, as it can happen to men and women alike, just like all hoarding tendencies. It may be slightly more common in women because women are raised to be more nurturing and compassionate, and often taught to ignore the practical boundaries of their efforts in pursuit of perfection, but that doesn’t mean it is exclusive in any way.
But either way, “crazy cat lady” is highly problematic language, and if you care at all about such things, you may want to avoid using it in the future.
Mm unfortunately a few years of cocktail waitressing at strip clubs in my early 20s taught me not to ever want to do anything for new years. Rookie night.
My winter solstice parties are lit tho. Mostly because I make everyone light a tea light to honor those who bring light to their lives.
If it helps, mine was like $150 and it’s pretty solid upper-mid-range (asus rt-ax82u) right out of the box with minimal setup. My partner got a $400 ish one because he’s very high level IT, and wanted it for remote work, and it’s way overkill even for his use (but as long as the hardware doesn’t fail or the standards change, it’ll be good for a long time no matter what speed increases/demands happen). I guess if you simultaneously stream a lot up/down or need something capable of supporting a small office of people, but if not the mid-range routers are pretty good, lots of options, QoS features, and mine has its own built-in vpn host that can be set up if not running something like openvpn (tho it can also handle those). Dunno if thats standard these days, but it certainly makes my pihole more useful, since I can use it on my phone when I’m not home.
Really, if you go with something made for a purpose that’s a bit beyond your own use (in my case, gaming model because it’s designed for online multiplayer with low latency and a house full of connected devices, which is well beyond my own streaming of solo games), it’ll at least be better than the combined models (which are very low end), and probably way more than you actually need, so you have room to grow if desired. Plus in the long run it’ll be significantly cheaper since you won’t be paying $5/mth for something you never own (I assume that’s what you are being charged as that’s standard around me). It pays for itself in ~2-2.5years, depending what you get, and after that it’s all savings, since a decent router can be good for considerably longer than 2 years.
Do you mean for cookie control? I don’t think pihole can do that (and some basic searches seem to agree), but again idk how the whole thing works..
It’s easy af to set up for adblocking though. I’m not super tech savvy and it took like an hour, start to finish, including time to track down a USB.
No worries.
It’s a thing I’ll probably do at some point. Just for kicks. I’m a big fan of playing around with hardware to save money 😁 but it’ll probably be a while before I get to it. I have some self hosting and automation to learn to do first (not super knowledgeable presently, but omfg is the fediverse helpful with tech stuff 💜)
Not yet, but I looked into it before I bought it and I’ve seen that it can be done as sort of a viewing unit? If I understand correctly that’s all it would be, which is still probably a powerful tool, but I just got the vr like a month ago and then immediately got two surprise kittens so I have not had time to play at all, much less do anything fancy with it.
However if you want to tell me all about it, I am more than happy to learn from a person rather than an impersonal article. Really.
🤮
Sorry I’ve been offline for a bit and came back to this and couldn’t help myself.
Haha thanks friend have a great day!
Yeah that’s kinda what I was expecting.
I don’t really have a vr setup right now (have a psvr, the tracking sucks but I want to like it) but I was thinking maybe an index at some point..
Tho tbh if I need to keep a windows pc for that to work… I can… I won’t be thrilled for it, but my laptop is touchscreen and running 11… idk how Linux does with touchscreen so I haven’t changed it out yet, probs could upgrade the hardware to game off it.
I am trying to be a treasure trove of nostalgia. I’m 36 and doing my damndest to maintain media from my childhood (anything I was exposed to, not just stuff from my time)
Do you remember dinosaurs? (If it was during your lifetime, now you do!)
