Maybe the acid square should be Mimosa hostilis/Peyote instead to keep with the plant theme, but either way that one hits the hardest for me

Indeed, I was referring to Martin. I’m not holding my breath, as there are supposed to be 2 more books, but perhaps at least one will appear at some point!

The Insect-kindens! And it is quite a lengthy series, at that, if anyone is looking for something new to get into (not to mention he actually finishes series, unlike another fantasy writer…)

No spood lovers in here?! I could watch those Darth Maul lookin’ mofos all day long.
Also love the joros ‘cause they eat that which I despise the most: the brown marmorated stink bug.
- Comment on Best vertical games on Android? 4 days ago:
Not exactly an Android exclusive thing, but I like to play GameBoy ROMs vertical so it feels more like a gameboy color.

ayyyyyy lmao
- Comment on Disapointed 1 week ago:
There's an actual campground in Panama City, FL called Raccoon River, and this is exactly the experience. Grandparents took the grandchildren every year from ages 5 to 18. Lotta years, we never encountered a single raccoon. So disappointing.
In fact, there were more goats than raccoons, which is somehow even more disappointing and confusing.
- Comment on There has been much speculation recently and I would like to make one thing clear. Donald Trump's head game is utter trash. 2 weeks ago:
Couldn't find the original upload, but I imagine it was something like this (partially nsfw maybe?)
- Comment on These AI-generated portraits look insanely realistic 2 weeks ago:
Finally, a woman that scratches her ass like I do. Wrist-deep and no shame, I'm in love!
The top-middle one actually does look like a real photo, though, especially at the low res. Or maybe it's just because it's adjacent to such obvious fakes that in comparison it seems more realistic?
- Comment on Gaming Laptop with Linux Preinstalled and 32GB+ RAM? 2 weeks ago:
I'll never touch Windows again, and stopped using it over a decade ago. I unfortunately don't have any experience related to this laptop, but when it comes to dual-booting other OS's it's no different than any other machine. I can't imagine it would have issues with Windows, and System76 has some info on installing Windows
I don't have to do anything special to run games, though. I pirate a lot, and play legit Steam games as well. Only issues I run into are related to anti-cheat, but that's nothing new for Linux gaming. Once you're in Windows, it likely won't be any different than using Windows on another machine.

I just saw your other comment where you mention wanting to play CyberPunk 2077. FWIW, it runs great on my Ryzen7 model, so I'm sure it won't have any issues on the Ryzen9.
Good luck with the hunt!

The System76 Pangolin has an AMD APU that's pretty powerful. I have the Ryzen7 model, but the newer ones are Ryzen9.

I can play pretty much any game, as long as it runs in Proton normally, with very little FPS issues. Only games that chug are poorly optimized to being with, but usually dropping the res to 1600x900 with FSR on will fix most issues.
Also, "most economical" is tough these days with the tariffs and all. I got my Pangolin for $1000 shipped, then a few months later the tariffs hit and the price rose to $1500 before shipping.

This is the first I've ever seen them, likely a newer marketing thing

- Comment on I would give my life savings for something that eradicates them from my apartment 😌 1 month ago:
I forced my parents to stop wasting money and pumping their yard full of chemicals about 5 years ago. They went from being inundated with mosquitoes and stinkbugs (and absolutely nothing else) to now having what feels like every species of orbweaver under the sun amongst several other spood types, and lizards, and bees, and beetles; it's glorious.
Now that my 8-legged freaks are back in town, though, the mosquitoes and stinkbugs are down to 1/3rd of what they were before. In fact, I've barely seen any and a few of the Joro spiders around here are FAT. Abdomens the size of my thumb!
