Thank you for that... going back and reading again with this was very, very funny

In this case it makes sense to have a short-term quick-and-dirty Butt deployment.

In case anyone is following this: Eurogamer are reporting that Game have denied this.

I really hope game will still sell... games, but am cynically wondering if they are measuring the reaction from this to make a decision. :/

Thank you, that's really kind. All the more reason to enjoy that time! :)

It's been a few years, and the way you described your dog made me smile more than anything :)

Aw I miss my dog! I used to say he'd walk into a room and think "Hi everyone! I'm a dog! Someone should play with me I think this would be good!"

Hull, England for me! I went up as a student and stayed another year, partly because I loved the city and wasn't ready to go home.

There was a great vibe, music venues, free museums and galleries, felt safe, and loved wandering.

I saw the rougher bits too, but it didn't seem to different to most places. On the whole, the centre was way nicer than I expected, and there was a lot of cool community things people were running.

My 1080 was okay with Linux Mint, no complaints, and performance is the same from what I can tell. :)

I just switched over to Mint from Windows 10 a month ago, and besides from setting up my quirky USB audio for music making, I was astonished as I rarely needed to look anything up. :)

Using DuckDuckGo helped I think, but presently, most of my questions I searched came back with forums with real people talking, which was lovely.

I remember trying this in 2010 and... nope, everything was a project, command lines everywhere, and it was a pig. I was very impressed this time, everything quietly worked. :) Even every steam game I threw at it, even ruddy GTA San Andreas, which never ran for me on Window 10!

The searches/sticking points I looked up were

  • what the heck am I doing with partitions. (eventually nuked windows anyway)
  • how do I get my specific USB audio card thingy to work.*
  • how to mod fallout new vegas** (gave up and reinstalled on a windows pc, too many .exes)
  • how to auto-mount a second hard drive for steam so I don't have to click the disk every time I boot.

*there was actually a human-made guide for my usb audio when I searched on DuckDuckGo, which was made by an utter saint of a person!

** it ran fine, but I was in the middle of a save, so wanted to keep my mod loadout :)

I bet there's a bunch of quality of life things I take for granted on android! I think you're right about the search :)

Windows Phone's UI is a hill I will die on, it was really nice! I actively missed it for a while when switching.

I loved the cross-platform approach Kenny has taken, it is stuff that will be useful for years, and stuff like this is tricky to find resources for. :)

Saved for when I am at the "user" stage of my game, beyond "yay saves now work" and the lower level code :)
