Bartender’s Ownership Switcharoo
  • Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention! I recently upgraded a 10 year old device with a Macbook (first time owner!) and was not impressed with how MacOS operates. Cue to me installing things like Swipe, Bartender, etc. I would have kept happily updating this program without your bringing it to my attention, so THANK YOU!

  • Update: IRS successfully launches their own free Direct File - now ALL of my fellow 'murcans are eligible for 2025
  • I looked it up, and there is an article from the end of last year that says they are about to be required or are already required.

    I can't recall ever putting my license on one of these tax preppers, but I am also older and more privacy concerned in my older age, so I would definitely not do it now.

  • A cool guide The Decline of the Simpsons
  • I mean, anything above a 5 is above average?

    1 - Don't even waste your time
    2 - Really really bad
    3 - Has some good things, but mostly bad
    4 - Fell flat quite a lot, but still enjoyable
    5 - Mid/Average
    6 - Decent
    7 - Pretty good
    8 - Good
    9 - Great
    10 - Masterpiece

    So, from my list, it looks like it's been consistently okay, which is what I would expect from a show that has run as long as it has!

  • [Majuular] Ultima V Retrospective | The Tyranny of Virtue
  • I found Majuular earlier this year, and watch his videos to fall asleep to. The in-depthness of his videos are a treat, he's got a voice that doesn't get annoying to me, and he allows me to see older games in a new light. Highly recommend!

  • "We have a strong will to continue it in the future": After Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, Hidetaka Miyazaki Wants a New Installment for One of His Oldest Franchises
  • I see, and understand your points. The reason I enjoyed King's Field/Shadow Tower/Souls was the exploration aspect, which Lunacid does really well.

    I agree with the anime characters, for sure. It was very jarring to run into the girl the first time. I couldn't help but feel like I was playing a different game all of the sudden!

    What did the developer say to dislike them, again, if you don't mind me asking?

  • Mozilla confirms it will add Tab Groups, Vertical Tabs, Profile Management to Firefox
  • Was using Floorp for awhile because I like the layout with a custom CSS theme. I can't wait for it to be official, because the Floorp developers put on a recent update article that says they are looking at ways to monetize the browser without sacrificing user privacy and security, and I just don't like that thought process at all. I know it is unpaid work, but I already have enough things in my life trying to monetize me. I definitely don't need another!

    Here is the update they provided, but under Changes they say,

    "Later this year, Ablaze plans to launch a number of initiatives to help maintain the health of the browser and generate revenue from its software in a way that doesn’t compromise user privacy."

  • Floorp, a Firefox derivative

    Hey, everyone!

    Whether you have heard about it or not, there is a Firefox derivative that is called Floorp. It is made by a community of Japanese devs.

    I started looking for these kind of Firefox projects, because of the many kinds of Chromium types. I’ve been using it for awhile, and have enjoyed the features (after a bit of customization to my preferences) that it offers.

    I also use a CSS theme that is compatible with Floorp that is called Shina-Fox. I’ll post the links below for you to try if you think it’s interesting!

    https://github.com/Floorp-Projects

    https://github.com/Shina-SG/Shina-Fox

    (PS. You can change the icon that is included with Shina-Fox by renaming an icon that you prefer, make a copy, and rename them dark and light. PPS. You might also need to move your taskbar icons around, but that was probably just a me error because I was aggressive on how my original taskbar looked)

    Let me know what you think!

    Beat the game!

    I don’t know how to do the spoiler stuff, if it’s even possible on Voyager, so please be aware of SPOILERS!!!

    So, this weekend, I finally beat the game. I clocked in at 123 hours, and did as many side quests as I could. Wyll’s sidequest was the only one that got borked for me, and I missed out on his and Karlach’s exchange after the final boss.

    So, I did two different endings because I wanted to see the outcomes. For further backstory, I played the game as a good guy (my true role playing pleasure, since I can’t save the world/people in real life like I can in games) and saved every single person the game allows you too. Every. Single. One.

    Now, the endings. Again, please be aware of SPOILERS!!!

    I did the bad ending first, because my curiosity got the best of me. I killed Orpheus, who was in his Illithid form, while he was focusing on the brain. My character stabs Orpheus to death (quite gruesomely) while my party members (who I remind you, have watched me ONLY do good guy things for our entire journey!) are freaking out and even Astarion asking “What in the hells are you doing?!” “I’m doing what I planned to do from the beginning.” Is how I answered. The scene goes on to show my character snapping his fingers and turning my entire party into thralls, and claiming the Absolute’s Throne. When he sits down, he is smiling in a way I hadn’t seen the entire game. He looked menacing, and pure evil. As he sits atop his new throne, he looks into the camera and says, “In my name.” As I had done nothing the entire game but challenge the gods and their chosen, because gods and devils play too much with mortal lives.

    This ending, was actually weirdly REALLY satisfying. I spent the entire game being THE good guy. THE champion. I saved countless souls. My entire party had nothing but faith in me. I successfully took every member of my party through their entire arc (except Wyll, damn bugs!) and gained both adoration and respect from every single one. What did they, and the rest of Faerun get for their loyalty, support, and adoration? Thralls. Every. Single. One. It was such a twist to even myself that I was in awe, and was excited to get my good guy ending!

    So, I reloaded my quick save at the final options and did the good ending. While it gave some slight satisfaction, I can’t help but feel like the evil ending was way more interesting. While I’d still choose the good guy way always, it was quite fun they allowed me to subvert all expectations and pull an M. Night Shyamalan and give myself a twist ending.

    Fantastic game, and I hope some of you will even regale me with your own stories you made in game! Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. Good day. 🙏🏻
