I'm in the same boat. Been using Linux on a laptop for decades. But have always used Windows for gaming on my gaming desktop. I'm due for a rebuild and had a Linux build planned out that I was going to buy parts for during the holidays when they were expected to be on sale... Then RAM shot through the roof. A few months back the retail price of the parts (minus accessories and a case) was at a little above $1700 now it's almost at $2100 due to the RAM pricing.

They probably get around this from some clause in the terms and conditions... Yep... Terms and conditions for a fridge.

I have used cold water, followed by an alum block, then cold water again after I let the alum sit on my skin. Then I just apply unscented noncomedogenuc lotion. I usually use Neutrogena ultra gentle daily facial moisturizer.

I think that's actually what dentists recommend (brushing before eating not wiping before you shit). I can't remember the details fully but I thought it had something to do with particles of food getting pushed into spots it shouldn't if you brush right after. Toothpaste is meant to protect your teeth, so brushing after eating probably more like waxing a dirty car than wiping before you shit.

One might even say that a firearm becomes more dangerous in a less knowledgeable person's hands.

It's been about 15 years since I did appliance servicing. But back then many of the dryers would still include a circuit diagram with wire color codes and a timing chart for the controller. But the fancier appliances that had digital control boards, touch panels, etc... Like LG and Samsung didn't include crap unless you paid for their service portals. But, what they had behind the pay wall was often fairly detailed with tear down instructions and even full details of circuit boards including each pinout and often even flow charts for diagnostic steps making diagnostics almost dummy proof.

LG would even put on training and we'd get full inch to inch and a half booklets full of service details for a line of their products.

I still would never buy an LG appliance though. There was a reason they had to provide so many service details. Their appliances might have some fancy cushy innovations. But what good are these fancy features when your fridge doesn't cool?

As someone who has GM'd for PF2E for several years I second this. I see no reason they would not be able to be used together.

Keep in mind that Tentacular Limbs does have the morph trait so it cannot be stacked with another morph ability/spell applied to the same limb. Also, because the spell has the manipulate trait, you could draw a reaction (attack of opportunity).

I have a coworker that still has an old party line for their landline at the farm and if he wasn't given a company phone he probably wouldn't have one.

I'm not one hundred percent sure, but the email I got from Epic says they're refunding the legendary upgrade and that Redstone shards are only good until November 1st. I don't actually play the game, but I got the email because I got the legendary upgrade when it was a freebie.

There's also an upgrade that isn't free that's being removed. Granted the upgrade was one of their freebie offers relatively recent.

There's ads over the PA? I have never heard any. It might be because I'm typically in-and-out and focused on just getting what I need or maybe I've just been tuning them out. I'll have to listen more carefully next time I'm at Target and Walmart.

 

Just wondering if anyone has been streaming games from their desktop and how it works when they put their Deck to sleep.

I am thinking about building a new desktop, but I almost exclusively play on my Deck and so it would primarily be for streaming to the Deck. My main concern is that the game will continue to run on the desktop either using a lot of electricity or causing me to die in game. I play several Souls-like games that don't allow you to pause and will often have to break away to do something else at a moment's notice.

 

Anyone have any recommendations for a game that's like Dance Dance Revolution? My wife really liked that game back in the day and I am looking to get her it or something like it as a gift.

We have a PS5 and Xbox One S. We also have a Switch that I could get a dock hooked up to the TV, but she usually uses it in handheld mode. If there's not really any options for those systems we also have some older systems in storage while we finish some construction that I could dig out (most systems dating back to SNES).
