It wasn’t the time before we lost either.

Saying you understand why something happened isn’t being smug or in any way happy about the outcome.

Stop externalizing your poor mental state and take a break from the internet or something.

I have a strong abiding loathing for Gearbox’s CEO, Randy Pritchford, but the team they have behind RoR2 now seem to really want to do a good job. They’ve been very up front, in a way I only sometimes see with small indie devs, about the process of fixing core game parts they managed to break when they released the core game patch that coincided with this DLC.

I’m still waiting a good long while before I touch RoR2 again, but I feel like it will be fixed eventually. Can’t say that for all of my games.

At least it’s a good NES game.

There are a bunch of “gimmick” alarm clocks that might help.

I had this one for a little while that sounded like R2D2 being kept alive while it’s brain was being scrambled. If you didn’t get to it in 10 seconds or so, it would roll off the table and start scurrying around the room. It was annoying enough that my parents returned it, after it was their idea in the first place.

There was also one where the alarm could only be turned off by a “key” that would take off like one of those pull cord helicopter blade toys when the alarm went off.

I think there’s also things like big vibrating bass speakers you can strap to a bed frame to try and “shake” someone awake.

In the end what worked for me was just setting a ton of alarms. Like every 15-30 minutes starting an hour before I actually had to get moving.

Good luck.

Man, 8 Bit Theater. Talk about a blast from the past.

It’s very simple. The US government maintains a list of sanctioned entities and companies. US citizens and businesses are not allowed to do business with these entities. Most of the removed maintainers either used their company email, or very publicly are employees of these sanctioned companies.

There’s no investigation of connections or anything complicated going on here.

Also, if you think corporations becoming effective government is some Russia specific thing, I have a bridge to sell you.

He’s practically always been like this. If anything he’s notably softened with age.

From being able to work on Linux stuff without having their contributions reviewed by someone else (not from russia).

It’s an important distinction many seem to miss.

Man, I want one of those living lounge chairs to ride around on. They couldn’t possibly be sentient or anything. I see absolutely no potential downsides.

Yo, could you flag this NSFW? Don’t think most people would be fine if their boss saw this wonderful pod of dicklets on their screen.

Yep, and don’t just state the what, but the why in your docs.

The why really helps with knowing if a step is still important, or if it no longer applies. This is especially important with anything cloud based, as I’ve seen weird workarounds become no longer needed due to updates, and I would never have caught it without my notes on why we had the weird workaround to begin with.

Not content with unasked for evangelizing in Windows communities and posts, this Stallman’s Witness tries their hand in an even less welcome locale.

Injured by the failure of their attempt, they seek sympathy back in friendlier climes.

Even so, why post this and not any one of countless other things?

Like I feel that you’re missing a clear sign here. Most people would roll their eyes and move on. This is quite possibly the most “leopards ate my face” post in this community and yet it’s being upvoted because “hooray tribalism” over something as asinine as OS (really kernel) choice.

Then why did you bother posting here complaining about it?

You care so little that you made a meme about it, and have now reposted a slightly edited version of it roughly a day later.

You can re-enable microsoft store etc with a single line of powershell if you really need.

Common Redist is used for “commonly redistributed” installers of other software the game relies on.

Like how sometimes when you install a game through steam and it also installs a Microsoft .net framework (because it needs that installed to run). In that case you’d the .net installer in the common redist folder. In this case, all those VCredist files.

OALinst is just an installer for OpenAL, a piece of audio processing software. A lot of games use it for handling positional audio, like something exploding to your left and behind you actually sounding like it exploded behind and to the left. Some games will also use it for more complicated audio things, like actually simulating sound echoes against the walls of a room and their material.

How could I ever forget

When you show it they stop and stare

Protip: don’t scribble shit out in screenshots. Too easy for people to figure out what’s underneath. Put filled in rectangles over whatever you don’t want people to see so there’s nothing that shows through. Most built in photo editors on phones have this functionality.
