I’m grateful for GoG’s manual testing process. But the forums often full of users blaming GoG for treating them as second class citizens for always late at push out updates, without seeing their efforts. Sometimes it’s indeed several months later than Steam, like Manor Lords. Sometimes developers do seems to abandon their GoG version altogether, like Hellish Quart. It sometimes feels like a vicious cycle to push users away.

I prefer GoG’s UI too, It’s simpler and easier to navigate. Steam’s main page has become more confusing over the years. It’s another reason for me to prefer buying from GoG. The same goes for Steam’s client, it’s so full of stuff. Sometimes it feels like you have to open a monster to just play a casual game, it somewhat put off your desire to play that mini casual game.

From both, but I prefer GoG. I bought everything I want to keep there. So I can store the installers, and won’t have to redownload each time I install on a new system. But Steam has a smoother Linux experience.

That’s interesting, because I do that too. Native language for family use, “common tongue” for outsiders and strangers, English when angry or want to be serious. They do feel like three stages of distance. Also, each language has slightly different preferences with slightly different ways of thinking, which leads to you often think different things in different languages. But more often than not, they just end up in a big muddle.

Saw another one of these in a Japanese Program. It does seem like they have these sings everywhere!

Wahhh!

Indeed! Glad to be not on their menu, so can safely enjoy their majesty.

That’s an interesting read, never knew such behaviour has a name! Should have thought others always knew they are the big bad birds. ;)

I went back to blacksmithforums.com just now, to my surprise, they changed their software. Now I can’t find all the posts that I saved about historical researches…

There are still quite many game developers’ forums, but what bothers me a little bit is that sometimes the long living ones periodically lost their past.

I often saw videos of Ravens harass Owls during the day, and occasionally Owls ambush Ravens during the night. Are they saw each other annoying neighbours?

The microSD card is for all the videos and lossless CDs, they are huge… For desktop syncing, I use self-hosted Syncthing too, somehow I didn’t use it for my phone…

Went back to parents’ place to meet all of their cats. They rescued another kitten from near death, that was a month ago. Now she’s partying with the rest of the gang!

No, I chose a public server with decent connection speed. I was lazy. 👻

I have a Sony Xperia 10 IV. To be honest, I only bought it for the headphone jack and microSD card slot, and struggled a lot between it and an old Fairphone. If not for gaming or taking pictures, it’s good enough, I guess. At lease, it’s good enough for me.

I degoogled it, striped most of its property apps, and only installed FOSS ones as replacements. It has a good battery life (at lease for me), I only have to charge it twice a week, but I’m not a heavy user. (Only basic social, web browsing, music, some video watching.)

It still receives security updates after three years, which should have stopped sometime ago. Anyway, I think I’ll eventually have to get it a new OS.

I wish more people would move to Matrix with me, so far only my partner did. But that’s good enough.

Have you seen animals drown? In cats specifically, I’ve seen children drowning a newborn kitty. But I was just a child too, it was a raining day, no adults around. It was a horrible way for an animal to die. I still remember the sounds. Didn’t stop them because I was a coward. I didn’t know Australians can kill their cats in such a way casually.

I had the same experience about the mouse problem. Long ago parents caught a mouse with a trap that won’t kill them. With no better idea of what to do with it, they decided to drown it. We watched it drown slowly and painfully. They never do that again.

This is eye-opening, in a post that talks about evil people. If it’s for population control, isn’t it usually Trap, Spay, Return? But then again, there are some parts of the world people can torture or causally kill cats and dogs with no legal consequences. Humans are disappointing.

I’ve been told this is the less damaging way, but I think it also depends on your hair’s thickness. If it can stand the violent rubbing, then you can do that. If all you have left is a few fragile thin hairs, I’d protect them as best as I can…
