I’ve played it once in the past. Just the normal poker with five cards in your hand and you get two rounds of changing cards.
It was fun.
I lost 2 imaginary dollars.
- Comment on Truly 3 weeks ago:
I guess, but at that point I can do that in your average JRPG or something. I feel like it would be more fun with people. Unless they’re paying the Texas game with all the cards in the middle. That one is complicated and you only have two cards of yours and I really don’t have fun with it.
- Comment on Truly 3 weeks ago:
I don’t get slot machines. They’re not even slightly fun.
I wish casinos had fun games with small bets. Like, I don’t know, poker where you can play several hands with 20 dollars.
But as it stands, I don’t think I’ll ever visit a casino again. It’s either boring slots or you need to be rich to play the “real” games.

So far it’s working fine, yeah. No need to choose among a zillion distros someone swears is the best, I know for a fact there are first-party drivers for everything, no need to fiddle around with CLI, it plays everything my graphics card can muster, and I don’t need to worry about game compatibility or whether Nvidia deigned to support my OS.
Windows has a lot of problems, but if you’re just looking to play games without too much complexity… It’s as close to “it just works” as I can imagine getting without switching to a console (or limiting myself to the few games that work on Apple devices, I guess).
Plus, big argument, it’s familiar. You can forgive more annoyances when you’re not learning something new. Humans are just lazy like that.

One day, Linux will be ready for a no-headaches gaming PC. Genuinely looking forward to it.

Uh, high school science teacher. Never really looked it up until today but considering there’s science on the reverse effect (less oxygen for slower aging), I’d say it’s probably not bullshit.
- Comment on hyperbaric oxygen chamber 5 weeks ago:
Damn it
- Comment on hyperbaric oxygen chamber 5 weeks ago:
I just meant breathing more oxygen makes you agree faster
- Comment on hyperbaric oxygen chamber 5 weeks ago:
Oxygen chamber? Sounds like a great way to die early
- Comment on Don't get mad, get even 5 weeks ago:
Microwaves designed for public use often don’t have them. I never really knew whether it’s because they don’t need them because they have more magnetrons or something, or just because they prioritize easy cleaning.

Is it usually earlier in the US? Sounds a bit on the high side for where I live too.

Curie looks tired. If I’m gonna embarrass myself with anyone anyway, I’ll invite her and we’ll have a relaxing cup of herb tea at least.

You could also see it as a form of greenwashing, making you think you’re buying local, and thus greener, if you don’t look closely.

I don’t mean to brag, but I have an astonishing lack of culture.

Initial reaction: there’s no way that’s real
After reading the comments: what the fuck
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 2 months ago:
Absolute madness.
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 2 months ago:
Asterisk: there is such a thing as “minimum wage for tipped workers”, which is lower than the normal minimum wage. At least in some provinces.
For instance, in Quebec, the normal minimum wage is $16.10 per hour, but for tipped workers, it’s $12.90$.
And yes, my reaction to this is also “what the fuck”.

I didn’t know a transaction could be updated after the fact. That’s wild.

You WRITE the tip amount on the receipt? How does the payment terminal know how much to take?

I’ll be honest I personally assumed ducks only ate fish.

Astrophysicists are like an oversensitive grandma who hears an electric guitar and thinks nearly every music is metal
- Comment on 13 skeletons 3 months ago:
Granted. The wish spell has never existed, so you can’t use it.
- Comment on 13 skeletons 3 months ago:
Isn’t that killing the thief rogue subclass’s use magic device ability?
- Comment on 13 skeletons 3 months ago:
Hmm, that works, but only for spells in your class list. That won’t allow you to cast legend lore as a wizard, for instance

I hope we can reach the point where everything is convenient to switch to whatever you preference/physical controller is in every game.
Maybe one day.
- Comment on Eksbawks 3 months ago:
I like their button layout better though.
- Comment on 13 skeletons 3 months ago:
Ah, that’s the risky use of Wish though. It comes with a chance of losing the spell forever.
- Comment on Eksbawks 3 months ago:
Xbox has influenced PC gaming too much for that.
- Comment on 13 skeletons 3 months ago:
Wish, but for emulating other spells. Literally anything I want, of 8th level or lower, as if it was already prepared? So handy.
