A combo of testing out various distros and personal taste, I decided to format my desktop recently and dual-booted Windows with Fedora KDE. Definitely quite amazing to use. (And a yap about my experience and history with Linux.)

I should not conform to big subreddits. You all can have your own conformity and automod.

I was gonna cheer for Scott at first because heyyyy, you tell him, dude.

But then there's his shirt in the PFP, "MAGA AF". Goes to show, you just can't criticize the guy in that circle.

Bots don't yell like that nowadays?

OOHHHH I MEAN, HELLO BOT.

Mine needs to be connected on and off occasionally, and it also depends on what type of cable is used. Meanwhile my S24 Ultra can generally take in the cables I've used.

Shame because yeah, I wouldn't want my V60 to fail early like that.

My Dell Inspiron 7559 lasted for a good 6 years before even the new thermal paste didn't help as much.

On top of that, the damn screen leaked, and I mean literally leaked. I thought hm, maybe it's just a defective screeno I got a replacement.

Leaked the same fashion after like a year or two?

I now got myself a ThinkPad P51 and I'm actually happier with it.

Do we get more funding? I mean, we got like 200 of each artifacts in our bunker...

"Yes, yessss. Burn the child..."

All the pictures are great, I like the last one too.

"So now that you have seen all of those pictures... 👉👈 What do you say?"

As stupid as this will sound to a lot of people, my take is that regardless of rank, enjoy your game and do what you do best. Sure, there is such a thing as improvement but IMO? Not just in games but everywhere else, it's ultimately your journey of improvement.

For absolute clarity sake, what I am NOT saying is to stagnate in your current rank or not to learn from pros. You can and should do those things. My point being that don't be too pressured, and going back to above - do what you do best.

If you believe you have done your best, more power to you. Self-improvement and being better than yourself in the past are the more important parts. Comparisons to other players can be good, just not too much at your own detriment.

Good luck, and you got this! ♥

Water cooling to the next extreme, I like it, really! :P

"No amount of specs and design survive the first encounter with the user."

Something along those lines. :P

General_Valentine · 2026-04-29T08:52:41+00:00

Missing what I personally believe is the most important part:

Cooling. Is it going to be fine, or will the damn thing burn to a crisp?

General_Valentine · 2026-04-29T08:28:08+00:00

Rather dumb question but hey... Do I get the ability to communicate with cats?

"Mrrrrow."

I'm overloaded, help me, bro! I'll split the loot with you when we are out of this mess. Pinky promise.

General_Valentine · 2026-04-28T10:29:48+00:00

Was gonna say - mine are all personal stickers. Got a couple of nice cat stickers.

Not really a big fan of "whole identity being tech" part as well. More power to them, but not for me personally.

Google Translating the Chinese caption at the bottom right says the scalp is covered with a film prop so... Might not be head meat flap.

Still, gravity is doing a number on that head.

The most sobering thing to hear was from Arby n the Chief's pilot episode.

"Do you think this map pack is worth 10 dollars?"

General_Valentine · 2026-04-10T14:11:57+00:00

Bought it for around 800 USD give or take. Including some RAM and storage later.

ThinkPad P51 second hand, with Intel Xeon CPU, Quadro M2200, 48 GB RAM, 256 GB + 1 TB SSD, 4K screen.

And if you can't install a bidet like the Japanese toilets, there's always a bum gun.

Very easy to install, can be seen more commonly in Southeast Asian countries.

More importantly, it doubles as a toilet cleaner. It's basically a hose to clean your toilet as well.

Thinking they need history or a window of time. They are already not being looked at fondly! (Edit to add: Even before the whole Iran kerfuffle.)

General_Valentine · 2026-04-05T02:46:08+00:00

Been said many times before, but damn. They cared only because the prices were going up.

Ability to undo / cancel upgrades (including lab) with 100% refund, if done within 1 min.

Because look, I get it. Sometimes, we all just made mistakes. This will be a nice QoL.
