That I stopped playing Zelda AND Pokémon

Been at my new better job for a couple months now and it's been AMAZING! Hope you're journey is the same if not better!

Aw fuck, I've been bamboozled =(

My partner just kinda gnaws on my upper arm. Straight up asked her to stop early days of us dating and she said something along the lines of "but that's how I show I love you" and just kept at it.

10 plus years later it's a wonder my arms haven't callused over. Love that weirdo

Look closer, she's leaning back with a ball gag on

Cool! Key takeaway for me from this is Trump didn't get more popular, Dems just got way less popular. Kind of brings a bit of my hope in humanity back a little

record scratch You might be wondering how I got here

Aw... I still like my version though.

Edit: just read the Wikipedia page and damn, think I gotta give this a read now

I love how we can decide for ourselves who Bill is in this picture.

I like to imagine Bill is the rabbit tailed creature in the middle.

I've just discovered the show Travelers and I can't stop watching. Not all the episodes are hits but I love these kinds of setups and plots. On the final season already and wondering what to watch next

I've had super hero fatigue since Guardians of the Galaxy 1 but Deadpool Wolverine was a blast. I think because I was so tired of Marvel, all the jabs they made about the culture and tropes of the MCU and Sony really hit

 

If I'm not sharing, I just drop them back into the bucket/bag. If I'm sharing, I'll just eat them.

Recently though a bucket I was sharing had so many unpopped kernels I started worrying for my gut. Had me wondering how everyone else handles this.

So how does everyone handle unpopped kernels?

 

Any recommendations for something like "Amusing Ourselves to Death" but written after the internet became mainstream?

Something recently had me thinking about the book "Amusing Ourselves to Death" that made me want to give it a re-read, and as relevant as the main ideas still are for today, I wondered if there is a more recent book that is just as well received on the topic of society's addiction to amusement.

 

Nowadays I find a lot of games feel like too much work and/or anxiety when I just want to relax for like, 30 minutes to an hour after a long day. On the other hand, the games specifically designed to help you unwind just feel boring imo.

In the past I've felt like Outer Wilds scratched this itch, cause the whole experience was engaging but generally relaxed. There was a mystery that kept me hooked and the exploration and movement was fun in and of itself. I also felt like Subnautica filled this role since it was very much at my own pace, with anxiety producing portions which could for the most part be avoided or minimized, and also there was a clear objective to fulfill, get off the planet.

So what games do you play when you just wanna relax?

 

Complete Linux noob so apologies if anything I say or ask about sounds dumb.

I want to start making the switch to Linux and I've got most things figured out I think. I plan on putting either Mint or Fedora on my old Surface Go gen 1 because it's not critical for my work and potentially losing some functionality there won't cause huge issues, but my main use of it right now is taking notes on Onenote that I can then view and edit from my other devices as well.

Looking into Onenote and alternatives on Linux, I keep running into comments about the lack of handwriting support or no straightforward answers about stylus support. Anything Lemmy recommends I try? Also, any advice on running Linux on the Surface Go in general is welcome. Found some resources already but doesn't seem like people do this often.
