(No political angle at all!)…The Nod Factor by Mad Skillz is also a banger

Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2 and anything at all by Jeremy Soule (Guild Wars, Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim, Dungeon Siege).

Historum (history/humanities forum) is pretty active and has lots of interesting posts!

Slight correction though, it looks like Lehrer was 97!

Omg, this was one of those “oh no!” moments…his songs were so catchy and hilarious (Tom Lehrer, of course!)

As a millennial (in the middle) I legit assumed this was referring to me 😅

Ignoring the Hippocratic oath they swore should lead to forfeiture of their license to practice. What a disgrace.

Definitely more fellow Canadians here than just those on Canadian servers (if that’s what the count is based on). We’re in it for the long haul! 😎🇨🇦

It’s a constant struggle…if I play, I feel guilty for not studying/working/spending time with my young kids. If I don’t play, I feel like I’m not doing anything for *me".

One step at a time…he was the most progressive pope ever…let’s keep it up!

Totally agree - he really tried to modernize the church as best he could. Apparently he stacked the cardinals with numerous progressives so hopefully they can keep the momentum up!

Yes, that’s his small 2 room suite in the Vatican guesthouse (not the palace). For comparison, this article shows the difference between his quarters, the palace, and the homes of some arch bishops.

ETA: 2 room, not 2 bedroom suite.

Disclaimer: not religious at all…but in all fairness to Pope Francis, he was a Jesuit, rejected living in the grand Papal apartment, and chose to live in a super simple 2 room apartment. The first pope to ever do so.

Wonder what GrapheneOS’ take on this will be…lots of people don’t use biometric authentication/always have location turned off.

Glad it helped! I just factory reset my Sony Bravia the other day so it’s fresh in my memory. Agree on all fronts! Couldn’t live in today’s world without my pi-hole 😅.

It looks like you only have to agree to the first two options, if I’m reading correctly. Definitely second the pi-hole option if that isn’t the case though…super easy to find telemetry domains based on what still works after blacklisting something (you can also find lists online).

I have an 8 gig RPi4 (OS is Dietpi) with a 16 terabyte HDD for storage. No issues at all…super fast and reliable. There are great FOSS apps on F-Droid covering just about anything you’d need…the official app, cookbook, bookmarks, notes, news, etc. If you’re using an HDD instead of an SSD, just make sure you have a dedicated power supply for the HDD.

Just an FYI that you can definitely download shows/movies to any device via Jellyfin - just did so on my tablet yesterday…jump ship!!

I was wondering what that crazy bar at the bottom was! Sometimes it’s green for me. Yet another reason to keep on the degoogling train…

I prefer the first game as you’re exploring a wild and hostile world while trying your best to survive and discover what’s actually going on. You have no idea why assassins keep coming for you, what’s going on with the iron crisis, or how it could possibly relate to you…but for some reason, you are tangled in a messy web of intrigue, politics, and danger.

You’re right…you are SO underpowered and helpless in the first game. Getting to any town is such a relief. But this makes adventuring so very worth it and so rewarding. I feel like the first game is brutally realistic, whereas the second is more fantastical. I love the cool gear and interactions of BG2, but the first one just feels so urgent and pressing to me.

The EE versions really changed the game…so many improvements without needing mods. However, the modding community is amazing as well. NPC banter packs, item packs, new quests, etc…there are so many options to modernize the game!
