Linux Mint Mate Edition. Everything just works, very stable, and I find Mate to be a delightfully clean desktop environment.

Last month, I switched to Linux permanently on my production machine. I am happy to report that it's working great. Steam for gaming, OBS Studio for streaming, Davinci Resolve for editing. No looking back.

Whatever wins at the game awards this year, I'll be satisfied. We ate well this year, so many great titles.

Ok, I officially enjoy the new #TaylorSwift album. I've always wondered what her music would be like if she stopped singing about old hurts and made an album about joyful love. And now we have that and it's really good.

I intend to try streaming again. Now that my mental health has taken a turn for the better. If you want to stop by, I'm going live at 10am Eastern.

I remember when Breath of the Wild was announced. My dad the nurse had been at a convention of sorts. And he brought home this little (5") LCD screen that had been used to advertise some medication. I hacked it, and replaced the video with the reveal trailer for BotW.

Panel 1: Shen is pointing and yelling at a hooded figure in a dark purple cloak with a metal buckle, and glowing red eyes within the darkness of the hood. The figure is carrying a large scythe. Shen is yelling "OH MY GOD, IT'S THE GRIM REAPER!!!"

Panel 2: The figure partly lifts the hook of his cloak to reveal that he is just a normal, fairly pale human, albeit with red irisis (possibly contacts), purple hair, and decorative choker spiked bracelets. He responds "actually, I'm just a goth farmer."

Panel 3: Shen points the other way and, with a shocked expression, yells "OH MY GOD IT'S SATAN!!!"

Panel 4: There is a red-skinned man whose messy red hair vaguely makes the shape of horns. He is wearing a spiky choker, a t-shirt the sleeves of which end in a bit of fishnet, and dark red overalls with a pentagram symbol. He has a pitchfork. He responds "actually I'm a goth farmer with a sunburn."

Panel 5: Shen points a third direction and yells, again with a shocked expression, "OH MY GOD IT'S CTHULHU."

Panel 6: It actually is Cthulhu. He's wearing a blue sweatshirt with a wave symbol in the middle and drinking strawberry bubble tea. He says "sup."

Can we please bring videogame demos back? Reviews are nice to get a taste of a game especially when itโ€™s a reviewer you trust, but itโ€™ll never be the same thing as trying out & playing the game for yourself. Games are so expensive & I know people have to make hard choices.
