Every now and then, I just want a circle to start off with. A circle will capture 97% of the area I need before I grind down with the lasso. Can I draw a circle freehand? No, that shit is more like an oval or an abomination against God.

Is it enough to get me to start paying for Photoshop? No. I’ve even got it installed on my work computers that have Photoshop in case of licensing issues (it’s happened more than once). But I am a user and I have requested it unironically in the past.

So, beat me up after class but the sample size is at least one.

Max Payne runs in Linux and did not run on the same hardware on Windows, year of Linux confirmed.

To be fair, Duncan knew it and technically there are realities with no survivors from that ritual… There are also realities where it appears your Gray Warden has been running around spiking people’s drinks with dark spawn blood because how the hell do we keep getting more wardens? It’s possible that the knowledge was really lost due to a few Wardens thinking “No, I won’t repeat that.”

The truth of the matter is, no one can bring themselves to put taint that many times in the modern games.

About a decade ago I had a Fitbit and wearing it caused my wrist to break out in a rash. I sent a picture of said wrist to Customer Support and they gave me a full refund on it.

Now, I’ve not had a watch cause me to break out like that since and I’ve also never owned any of the other brands on this list… Now you got me wondering.

I’ve tried a few times to really wrap my head around Usenet and I’ve got a couple of bookmarked tabs but… Man, I even had trouble setting up the arrs. My brain might be a bit too smooth these days.

I go by main genre - so Action, Adventure, RPG, ARPG, Rhythm, VR, you get it.

Then a Beaten, Beaten 100%, Shelved, “The Bin”, and a “Multiplayer” category. Games are allowed in multiple categories. The Bin does not hold many games, you’ve gotta earn being thrown in the trash.

That way, when I think, “I wanna play a Rogue Like” I don’t have to recall all their titles or anything. Then my Steam Deck came around and the default big picture view makes my sorting… Mostly useless.

I shut and lock my door ten minutes before a meeting. Hit the bathroom and then usually log in for a functions check, fix my blinds and pull up the relevant group chat that doesn’t have the boss in it.

Organize my notes on my desk, get a coffee or water in front of me. Someone will always be later. I’ll sometimes be the first. Let teams let them see that I’m starting it, whatever, everyone knows I’m getting my coffee.

Also, I like to give my colleague a fifteen minute heads up since he’ll sometimes forget.

I have literally fired a machine gun until liquid carbon is running down the gun and spraying on my face and I’ve likely had more lead from pipes and paint chips than anything else.

I thought Unbound was marginally better than Heat but almost every character in the game is completely grating. We’re running from the cops at 100mph, stop talking about your abusive childhood.

Finally started Kingdom Come: Deliverance and I’m still very much in the “Learning to play, God this controls like a monkey on rollerblades with too many 'ludes in his system” level of skill…

But, aside from that, also playing Mutant Year Zero and Peglin.
