Me to my friend who also plays: I think I only have like 2 side quests left before the end

My friend: Did you do [insert 5 full side stories I hadn't even started]

Me: ... right, so time to start a new save so I can process that.

I'd ask what some of her favourite moments were.

I found with my grandparents that they'd focus on the smaller things as they aged. Sure, they could talk about the major events but they actually liked talking about the little things.

My grandmother (who is best described as an eccentric matriarch) would tell stories about how she changed her general store to one ~10 km further away because the closer one "didn't serve poor people" (she'd tell the full story of why every time).

She died at ~77. I can only imagine what moments she'd have in her heart if she had lived to 108.

If my reaction the first time I saw a cybertruck IRL is any indication, I'd scream.

I'm a Canadian and I would have to drive ~8 hours to end up on that map.

As a leftist, I resent that

I'm Eastern Canadian. It wasn't sarcastic, but it's a semi common statement out here when relating to parts of Western Canada.

But the American Left is the Canadian Center. There'd be a fair few Conservative voters who'd vote Democrat and not change their ideology.

The cornerstone of Canadian national identity: We aren't American.

Definitely not disagreeing with that. I made the comment after reading the title, but before I saw the associated image.

That's the one! I knew I got it at the Harper safe house, but couldn't remember at what point in act 2 or who I talked to.

Oh I could definitely take it further. But I like the look of the hat on my character.

I genuinely thought it did. Interesting.

My dad tells stories of snowstorms back in the 70s & 80s where they would leave their truck at the end of the driveway with the keys in it and unlocked.

We live very rural (my grandparents were my neighbours growing up), and snowstorms could get bad. So everyone left their vehicles out with the keys in case someone broke down on the side of the road so that they could hop in the truck and turn it on to stay warm. Never had a vehicle so much as damaged, much less stolen.

I was aware monks can (at the very least I was aware of Kensei), I'd just never considered it as advantageous enough to go Defensive Duelist, I guess.

In an MP save I'm in, I'm playing an open hand monk and am currently using that staff you can buy from Auntie Ethel in the grove because of the bonuses to unarmed damage.

I don't have an answer for you, but would defensive duelist work with a monk? Doesn't it require a weapon in the main hand and an empty off hand?

That's basically how I did it.

To properly learn it using this method, create a directory that contains only text files and sub directories and treat it like a real project. Add files, delete them, play around with updating the repository. Try and go back a few updates and see how the things react. Since it's not a real project there's no risk of loss, but you'll still get to see the effects of what you do.

I spent the last 6 months working on a feature. Found out 2 weeks before release that it was being postponed.

"...and tweet 'Donald Trump is a human toilet'."

A really good way to do linux is to play around and break things, but to have a backup you can restore from.

I don't know about other distros specifically, but Mint comes shipped with Timeshift, which is easily configurable and can be set up to include your home directory. Make a backup on an external drive every now and again so that if you break everything, you only lose a bit of work instead of all of it.

Search engines are your friend. If you want to do something, look it up first (ex/ "How do I [x] on linux") and read some of the answers. Don't just go with the first option you see, and if it looks decent but you don't understand it try looking up the commands it uses to find some documentation.

Learning linux isn't something you can do as passively as you can with Windows, so take time to really try and learn things you're looking to do.

And a good rule of thumb is that if you think your system should be able to do something, it probably can.

I have terrible but defined habits for my ROMs. I use the same folder structure for all of them.

./[platform]/[game]/[game].zip

./[platform]/[game]/[game].iso

./[platform]/[game]/saves/...

If it's a series, using Pokémon as an example, I also have:

./Pokemon/Backups/[game].zip

./Pokemon/[generation]/[game]/[game].iso

So it's not that good of a backup, mainly there in case the iso corrupts, but I think it's better than nothing.
