I don't like the taste of pure water. Filtered, bottled, doesn't matter. It tastes bitter and metallic and it always takes effort to choke down.

I keep a bottle of unsweetened juice and use a splash of that to add the bare minimum of flavor I need to be able to enjoy drinking it at home, and when I'm out and about I just drink it and suffer.

You're meant to compress your belongings before they go in the bag, then decompress them when you need them.

Porco Rosso is an excellent Ghibli film with anti-fascist themes.

Is there anyone home?

Tossup between how much caffeine I drink and not working out.

About 42 hours. I start getting hallucinatory sparkles at roughly 40 hours and usually go to bed then.

Only done it a few times in my life, but the most memorable one was while in the middle of a 5-day LARP. We were going hard, I was NPCing, and I started seeing shadows in the middle of a fight. I took that as my cue to dip out and crash.

There's a moose loose in the hoose.

Path of Exile. Hands down.

I just broke 1400 hours and still going strong. There's so much to do and so much to learn, and it's so good at rewarding grinding and keeping you chasing those incremental improvements. It's 100% replaced RuneScape for me.

I have broken 1000 hours with Cookie Clicker, Guild Wars 2, RuneScape, and Eve Online. I don't recommend the latter two anymore, but CC and GW2 still hold up.

Honorable mention to Factorio. I'm still in the hundreds but it's climbing.

I've been playing Hollow Knight this week. Working on Pantheon 5 for the last achievement. Made it to Traitor Lord last night. Best run yet!

I played it on 360 and again on the Steam release.

It's a better Skyrim, and shares a lot of Skyrim's flaws. Good combat, fun builds, and way too much to do. It was supposed to be an MMO but got cut down to a single player game, so there's boatloads of content stretched over a massive map.

I still go back and play it every now and then. It's fun.

I have the remaster, but haven't touched it yet.

I, too, will still be playing Factorio.

Also playing Factorio.

Hello friends!

I made the switch from Windows back to Linux over the weekend, and so far almost everything is going swimmingly. Distro of choice is LMDE, and Steam and Proton are running like a dream.

I am having one minor issue which I've resolved in an unsatisfactory manner. Online games keep disconnecting frequently on loading new areas. This is occurring most noticeably on Guild Wars 2, Last Epoch, and Path of Exile.

I've resolved the issue by switching my DNS from my ISP default to Google's 8.8.4.4 and 8.8.8.8 service. No issues since the change.

So, this is not ideal since I'd like to break away from Google services for improved privacy. Are there any ethical DNS providers I can point to for reliable gaming, or are there any alternative solutions I should look into?
