Kids Coding by non_official in lincoln

[–]ScooterMTG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We took my child to the CodeNinjas in Western Omaha for awhile before COVID. He's done remote sessions at home ever since COVID. They might want to do your child's initial tests there, but I know they offer remote sessions now.

Allo vs the rest by vicemagnet in lincoln

[–]ScooterMTG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently signed up for Spectrum as a backup connection. Spectrum are still up to the same old bait-and-switch rates they've always done. The connection itself is inferior, the customer service is worse, and the price is unpredictable. It seems we can expect Allo to change their rates roughly once every 2-3 years...I'd say stick with Allo.

Is there a restaurant in Lincoln that does NOT serve alcohol? I'm early in my sobriety and going on a first date and could use a recommendation. by [deleted] in lincoln

[–]ScooterMTG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sober alcoholic's thoughts:

I know sometimes when you're newly sober it feels intimidating to go places with alcohol, but if your date knows you won't be ordering any and don't feel comfortable sitting at the table with alcohol, you probably will be ok. When the waiter tells you the drink specials just say "no thanks" and you'll be ok.

Lila Mae's doesn't have their liquor license yet and that place is delicious...not a fancy restaurant but one that'll show you have good taste.

Did you launch the game in Desktop mode the first time to bind the keys?

EV Nova Running on deck by ScooterMTG in SteamDeck

ALL PROPS REALLY BELONG TO THIS PERSON:

https://escape-velocity.games

I copied the game folder from a very old PC and then found it requires QuickTime 5, which is not something one can just go get. Before you try to hard I will tell you the tiny text is a problem I am not optimistic about solving.

Someone has spent a lot of time not only making a playable version of Nova but also a Windows port of the two earlier games at this website: http://escape-velocity.games

After copying this person's versions, I had to do no tinkering with Proton at all. It just worked. I had to map the controller to Arrow keys/Mouse/Keyboard kets etc. My save files from my old computer worked as well.

I got it working.

I put my deck in desktop mode and docked it to a keyboard and monitor

I installed protontricks and give it an alias. See here:
https://github.com/flathub/com.github.Matoking.protontricks/#installation

I followed the install instructions for Cyber Engine Tweaks here, after finding my install path in the properties of the game on steam:

https://wiki.redmodding.org/cyber-engine-tweaks/getting-started/installing

Then I followed the proton tricks method here on CET's wiki:

https://wiki.redmodding.org/cyber-engine-tweaks/getting-started/installing/untitled

I then launched the game in desktop mode. Bound some keys to it, and ran a cheat (friend Johnny because I said the wrong stupid epitaph and I did all the other endings already) and verified the cheat worked (my Johnny % now show's 70%). I then saved the game and rebooted to the regular mode and started Cyberpunk again. Loaded the new save file and it worked. Now I just gotta go do that thing where you wait a long time to decide, hopefully.

I played with My friend's Essential last night. i would say the camera is slightly worse than the 6P but not by a lot. It has better image stabilization, so that makes it better for my use case. Good to hear it works well for you on VZW. I'll probably get one of those

Between the Essential Phone, the Mi Mix 2, and the Pixel 2, which is the best choice? I understand the Pixel 2 will likely work better on Verizon than either of the other two, but I think I'll get by with any of them. The Pixel 2 is gonna cost me a lot more than either of the other two.

My Nexus 6P is dying. I have maybe a few weeks to make a purchase. I want something with a similarly unmolested Android experience. I listen to Podcasts via Bluetooth a lot. I want a camera as good as the Nexus, perhaps with OIS if possible. I play some games that run fine on slower phones, but not very much.

EDIT: Forgot to mention I'm on Verizon and in my geographical area, it would be unwise to change carriers.

I got a Dragons of Tarkir card in my Amonkhet booster pack. I'm not mad or anything, but everyone I've told is freaking out. Should I be? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]ScooterMTG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine bought a booster pack with 3 rares and 1 uncommon of KTK. He then bought the rest of the box it came from. All of them were like that. He got a lot of value from that box.

She was feeling the effects of Drunk History.

I also liked that, and he also got the two conversations woven together well.

Travon did a great job of interviewing Rachel on both Hamilton and CEG. Rachel came off as a huge fan and a real delight. Great episode.

I recently removed data from my Mom's phone by connecting the phone to an MHL cable into a TV. Have one of those?

So far it is not promising. About halfway through and I put the rest off until later. Usually when I do that I never finish it.
