I want to say a steak, but if I had an infinite supply of perfect steak available to me, I would probably die of a heart attack in about a year.

So instead I'll say crispy, corn-starch-battered stir fried marinated tofu. Tastes very good, and I usually fail to plan ahead for marinating it, plus the corn starch can sometimes make a mess, so having it magically made for me would be nice.

I'd say that absolutely counts!

I've been wanting to do this, too, for games that I bought on Steam. Like, make a bootable Linux DVD that has Steam and the game preinstalled on it, with Steam already logged in as my account.

The most recent ones I've bought were only a Steam key in the box, and the DVD simply had a Steam installer on it. Nice that some have both, I haven't actually seen one of those.

I should still have that somewhere as well. That was one I didn't find, but it should be around.

Do you need a battle.net account to play Diablo 2, or can you just install and play offline if you only want to play singleplayer? I haven't been able to find a clear answer about this, since everyone talking about it these days is talking about the download-only version.

Sweet! Lutris is amazing, I tried it for the first time a couple days ago. One of my physical games is Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear, which would not run on my Windows 10 PC, but runs just fine on my Linux PC through Lutris.

Nice. I was recently browsing this used bookstore near me, and C&C: Generals was sitting on the shelf in the music CD section, so I bought it. That was what got me thinking about my existing physical game collection.

Yeah, they definitely aren't seen as a necessity anymore.

However, the Silverstone FLP01 was mentioned in another community around here and I was so tempted to get one. At $150, it's not exactly inexpensive, and I already have a perfectly good case (Fractal Design Core 500), but man I want one. The "floppy disk drives" are doors that flip down: the top one reveals an optical drive, and the bottom one reveals the USB ports.

I almost went that route, but kept moving my disc drive from one PC to the next just for Morrowind. I didn't have room for it in my latest build, though (I put in a tower cooler for the first time), so I bought an external DVD drive.

So, how far can you throw those DVDs?

Uncanny X-Men #18

Batman #161, which is a nice surprise since I had completely forgotten about it, lol. I think it was delayed by a month.

Space Channel 5 is one of those classic Dreamcast games that I haven't checked out yet. I'll be sure to get to it now.

One part from the Sonic Adventure blog:

He was such a cute rapper.
His eyes sparkled just a little.
I didn't have a session today, so I was able to watch with ease.
Marlon, the vocalist of Knuckles, is very sexy.

I guess you could say he was rougher than the rest of them, the best of them, tougher than leather.

 

I'm talking about https://store.steampowered.com/sub/886313

I've played, but not beaten, MGS 1 and 2 on their original consoles. Never played Snake Eater. I remember the Master Collection getting some criticism when it first came out, but it seems like the reviews are positive now. I'm assuming you all are the experts here: is the master collection a good way of playing them? Even if it's not the "definitive" way of playing them?

 

I've been listening to this one lately since Justice has a new album out now. I think Audio, Video, Disco is my favorite of theirs.

 

I was just looking something up on caddyserver.com, which is not a retro website by any means. But, when I got to the very bottom of the page, I saw some classic browser buttons that I haven't seen in a very long time. And a hit counter, too! It made me smile.

 

I've just bought a backpack from Frost River, the "Arrowhead Trail Eco." I know that you can't assume that something is BIFL until you've owned it for a while, but waxed canvas definitely fits that long-lasting category, and this one certainly feels solid at first glance.

This is the first waxed canvas backpack I've bought. I've owned a few backpacks in recent years, trying to find the perfect everyday + work + gym backpack, but I'm new to waxed canvas. So I'm wondering if anyone has anything that I should pay attention to as I use it for the next couple months and develop an opinion about it.

The product page for it is here: https://frostriver.com/products/arrowhead-trail-rolltop-eco

I can post pictures tomorrow if anyone wants them. I've just picked up the package and it's the middle of the night right now, so I can't even really see what it looks like yet, haha. I usually find "first impressions" reviews to not be very useful (especially for products that you intend to own for more than a decade), but there were surprisingly few reviews for this brand available, so I might just do that anyway.

I use Funkwhale for my music collection and had my podcasts in there for a while. However, I ended up not listening to my podcasts very much since they were hidden among my much larger music collection.

So I moved my podcasts feeds to FreshRSS, which I was already using for RSS feeds. I like the simplicity of using something that I already had, but it doesn't have any podcast-specific features like being able to resume where you left off.

Do you have any podcast listening apps that you like?

*edit: I should add that I originally meant "self-hostable applications for storing your podcast subscriptions," but these phone app recommendations are great to have, too. I might just ditch the server-side of this entirely and just use a separate app on my devices for listening. It would be nice if I only had to subscribe in one place and be able to pick up where I left off across multiple devices, though.

 

A very unexpected cover of a very 2010s song. This version has been stuck in my head since I first heard it.
