I do. I listen to our local Classical station almost every day. Its quality has been constantly good for so many decades. I also listen to some other music stations on the Internet from time to time, but I try to avoid those that have hourly news…

They seem doing fine, especially PieFed.

The motherboard was from over ten years ago, that means that I probably won’t find one that matches the old APU and RAM that’s on it. I already can’t find a matching CPU fan for the APU, also no motherboard with DDR3 around. Part of the HHD is malfunction, but it’s workable. I was considering replacing them altogether someday, but maybe not so much now. The best scenario is I find out what’s wrong with the motherboard and fix it, then just keep using it.

I still have one PC with a broken motherboard that I need to fix. I wonder when will I be able to do that.

I had dumplings and a pear, which was not my usual breakfast. Glad to see another pear!

Both anxiety and loneliness are basically every holiday that involves big family gathering. It was so stressful I had some breakdowns even. Usually I use every excuse I can to avoid that. All I want is some quite time at home, with the few people that I truly love.

I used to have a pine sapling that I grow in a pot, and always used it as a Christmas tree in winter. But one year it died. I tried to grow another after that, but failed twice. Now my confidence of keeping a sapling alive is all gone. Maybe I should make a cardboard one this year. Or maybe just use a different plant that’s not a pine, fir or yew.

Now the only place to search for funny snowman is online…

Thank you very much!

Lots of Coffee, lots of Black Tea.

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.
