So basically another Carrington Event. Which is actually not impossible, and nobody knows what would happen if a geomagnetic storm of that size would occur today.

I’ve basically done this for games and other programs using this desktop file:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Run with Bottles
Comment=Run directly with bottles
Icon=com.usebottles.bottles
Exec=bottles-cli run --bottle Gaming --executable %f
Terminal=false
NoDisplay=true
Type=Application
Categories=Utility;GNOME;GTK;
StartupNotify=true
StartupWMClass=bottles
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/bottles;application/x-ms-dos-executable;application/x-msi;application/x-ms-shortcut;application/x-wine-extension-msp;
Keywords=wine;windows;
X-GNOME-UsesNotifications=true
Save as runwithbottles.desktop in ~/.local/share/applications
And remember to change --bottle Gaming to whatever bottle you want to use.
Now you can run any .exe by double clicking on it. If you associate it with ‘Run with Bottles’ This needs bottles to be installed, but allows you to run executables with Proton or Proton-GE too.
I bought an Asus Zenbook 14 about a year ago, specifically for immediately installing linux on it and doing some light gaming (I also have a linux desktop)
It has been surprisingly good. When the windows setup launched, the fans were spinning up loudly. I wiped the laptop and installed NixOs. Suddenly the fans went quiet, and I got an estimated battery life of around 11 hours with light usage, excellent.
It has an AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS CPU with 780M graphics. I was surprised at what you can run on this. Even Elden Ring was working smoothly on low to medium settings. And the laptop weighs around 1.2kg. I found it even more practical to carry around than my steam deck. (which I’ve sold)
Overall pretty great experience. Planning to build an Egpu to connect to the USB4 ports so I can add a bit of extra horsepower with an external GPU when needed.


When you feel uncomfortable, just let it be there. Dont try to push it away, feel it.


This used to be so common with installers in the past. Sometimes you had to click a button to show it. But I don’t really see it anymore


That sounds even more terrifying.


I recently did a first aid workshop. It’s nice to learn the skills for first aid and cpr, but I was a bit terrified by the fact that all the participants will actually get a first aid certificate.


It’s pretty amazing how we can adapt to use the mental tools we have to still live in a ‘normal’ way even when we are very weak in certain aspects.


Yeah, I’ve seen so many games drawing inspiration (or even very closely copying) slay the spire. Just shows how good it really is.


I have a feeling that this is also influenced by people that experienced (emotional) trauma. Some people dissociate from their feelings as a result of things that happened in the past, and this can also impact their ability to visualise things. (Because their brain is protecting them from re-experiencing their trauma)


Wasn’t Slay the spire released in 2019? Great choice though, there is also a multiplayer mod which works suprisingly well
Inscryption is really a good showcase of what makes games fun, and packed with so many things to discover and hidden things.


God hand, what a wonderful choice! Nothing really comes close to the ass-slapping action of that title. And the clunky controls actually make it feel more fun and unique.


The clocks change every minute. I’ve seen some from deepseek and qwen that looked ok. But kimi seems to be the most consistent
Castlevania: Harmony of Despair
Is it like a coop castlevania game then? Sounds great!
I’m horrible with names, so I could probably play it through again like new, haha
I’m thinking to wait 15 years and then replay it. Maybe I’ll have forgotten enough by then.
(I didn’t play echoes yet so I still have that going for me)
Guild wars 2 was magical during the beta. It felt so different than anything else at the time
Im doing this now. Playing on vidyascape and going through all the quests :)
How long would it take you to sketch something like this? I like how the shapes are not too precise or sharp, but at the same time it perfectly captures the landscape
For me it does not seem to print anything

I’m using fish, which is great :)
