The You Game!

< wonders what’s wrong?

Ting notifications wouldn't show properly but it's fixed now.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that was your 77777th message!

Thanks!

< would recommend a cocktail of EPO, Viagra and strong painkillers.

Sounds like a preparation for chemsex.

< has been very much out of things lately around here and the community. < is feeling concerned about this for some reason. Then again < has a lot of things, both real life and in <'s gaming that < has to deal with atm too.

< thinks it's cool that you're still passing by despite all this!

[Steo]

< agrees that it's nice to hear from ^^.

< is considering trying out some other Linux distros on the spare SSD, such as trying to install Gentoo. < would like to hope that anything < tries doesn't result in repartitioning the main SSD (again) when < clearly didn't have that intention.

Ah, I see now.

< has been playing FF9 for the past few weeks.

< just unplugs a drive when < doesn’t want it overwritten by an installer.

< knows you may not want to do that though.

< thinks it may be the best option to avoid hassle with losing data again. The data wasn't too important since it didn't wipe the HDDs, but it's still just annoying having to set up the OS all over again.

[The Jonster]

< is getting tired of hearing all this talk about the coronavirus < hears in the news lately.

< spent the past week working on finishing a game <'s been playing that < hardly got anything else done this week. < really needs to do better with focusing on <'s scheduled plans rather than what < wants to do. < admits that it's actually really hard for < to do so though.

< wonders if < should ask <'s aunt for advice since she's really good at planning.

[Hunchman801]

< wouldn't mind an epidemic so we can all work from home.

Well, those who actually can.

[Steo]

< hasn't been well lately, so < probably already has the virus.

[Hunchman801]

< has been sick for weeks too, it just goes away and keeps coming back.

[The Jonster]

< hopes you guys feel better soon.

< imagines <'s allergic reactions will start kicking in next month and that's not gonna be great.

[PluMGMK]

< got to see into a 12-inch wafer fab today. It's rather reminiscent of Portal 2, with all the boxes and machines, the dearth (though admittedly not total absence) of humans, and the robots whizzing around on ceiling rails!

[Hunchman801]

< thinks this must be kinda mesmerizing!

[Steo]

< is still waiting on <'s refund for the broken GPU.

[TheAlexinator]

< is thinking of getting Rayman Arena for GameCube

[Steo]

< thinks the Xbox and GameCube versions of Arena are good, they have some small differences. Of course, the only thing is needing to have modded (or NTSC) consoles to play them if you're not in the US, < doesn't understand why they couldn't release M on those platforms, and also wonders why Revolution had to be a PS2 exclusive.

< was messing with a Debian installation yesterday using apt pinning in attempt to only allow certain updates (like mesa) from the sid repo, but < can't figure out how to allow i386 libs to update from it, it seems to only work for amd64. This had < running around in circles manually updating all the required i386 libs, which caused a lot of hassle since missing dependencies relied on newer versions of other ones.

[PluMGMK]

< thinks this must be kinda mesmerizing!

< says it was, though it's a pity that the automation is what attracts the most attention, while the most interesting stuff (etching, CVD, sputtering, etc.) is actually happening inside the nondescript boxes! In particular, when we were passing the high-energy ion implanters, the only indications that anything interesting was happening were the "HIGH VOLTAGE ON" signs illuminated at the top…

[R4Y_ANC3L]

< is occasionally streaming <'s self playing games on Twitch. < has fun doing so as well.

[PluMGMK]

< just upgraded <'s phone to LineageOS 16.

[Ambidextroid]

That's what < uses! Though to be honest < just chose it because it looks suave, and because < didn't want that annoying Google search bar stuck at the bottom of my home screen. How is ^ finding it?

[Steo]

< hasn't been able to use LineageOS in a while since the S8 never really had a good stable release of it. < hasn't looked into it regarding the Note 9 yet though.

[PluMGMK]

< has been using Lineage since 2016, without any Google apps. It works pretty well for <, and < likes the relatively fine-grained control it gives over app permissions.
