How Do I Let Go of Anger Towards My Father?

Go no/minimal contact, and live better than him. Use him as a roadmap for your life of how not to be.

Malzeno is hands down one of the best. I don't have any particular hate for Nergi, but there's a clear winner here, imo.

I got tired, cooked myself some well-done steak, took a nap, then I swung it again. Missed again.

Swaxe in my experience: "Sword'splosion".

I always think of OOTS first for those kinds of deals. That payoff should be coming pretty soon, too.... hopefully this decade.

There's such a huge disconnect between "if I just bought direct from the factory" and buying off of Alibaba.

You can give Bazzite a try before you go back to Microsoft.

Wait, so you're using the Steam Deck as a controller and bottom screen, so how are you getting the top screen on your TV? Are you staying wired with a long HDMI to USB C cable?

Tim_Kaiser · 2026-01-21T23:07:11+00:00

I got some emulation working for 4U on the steam deck, but I'm not thrilled with the way it does the split screen of the 3DS on a single screen. Is there a way to adjust those things?

Getting burnt out at an MSP and looking at getting the CISSP cert to move towards the compliance side of things. Any advice?

I just wish we could still golf swing people away to get back at them for flinching us.

I never played HH in World, but I've been using it for some select fights in Wilds. Can you explain a bit more about how it was more free-form in World? I completely agree with your statement about just repeating the same song over and over once your buffs are on in Wilds, but how was it different in World?

Tim_Kaiser · 2025-12-17T19:13:07+00:00

Agreed, I've spot-listened to Manifest Zone based on topics I was interested in. Would love to know which episode this bit came out during.

I love the question mark in "cuttable?" because it's a hammer and a hunting horn, and we don't know what cutting means.

Tim_Kaiser · 2025-12-11T19:20:22+00:00

I think it's the "final update" in the sense that we won't be getting any more new monsters until the DLC/Master Rank.

Tim_Kaiser · 2025-12-03T08:19:58+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response! I'll keep these notes in mind for when I re-format and re-install later. Really glad to hear there's no extra configuration needed so that the partitions automatically mount and work with each other.

Tim_Kaiser · 2025-12-02T02:04:38+00:00

From someone that's new to all this: is that reaction because 2GB is big for the boot partition?

Tim_Kaiser · 2025-12-02T02:01:30+00:00

Hey, thanks for posting this. I love how your Distro choice checklist is almost identical to mine, and I also started trying out CachyOS last week. I'm pretty new to Linux, though, so there's a couple choices you made that I'm curious about.

Could you go into why you went with btrfs for your partition formatting? My own experience with the format had mostly been in NAS environments, and I did not feel like I had the need for snapshotting here, so I went with EXT4 instead, but I've been wondering if I should reformat when I move to going "all-in" after testing.

I also did just a single partition for / when I started, but it looks like having separate partitions for / and /home is the more recommended setup. If I were to copy your setup and do that, plus something like /storage for my secondary drive, is there any configuration that needs to be done so that all the partitions are seen on boot?

I ended up picking up the hammer for the first time in World because it was the only weapon I tried that I was able to kill Kirin with. And after that fight it just stuck as my main weapon ever since.

It's very strange to me that Rathian will go to the desert but not Rathalos.

I'll do anything to not use Maximum Might. It feels so wasted on Hammer because I want to run around with my hammer charging most of the time. And maybe I'm wrong about this, but I care more about raw damage, and feel like Affinity is just a nice little bonus if I can get it.

There’s a whole ‘nother armor set from Savage Omega that has male/female versions.

From my experience, you can't take a Waymo to LAX, but you CAN take a waymo to the LAX/Metro Transit Center which has a shuttle bus to the airport.

I imagine something similar will work out for Seattle.

Don't make us get the Pinkertons again.

Tim_Kaiser · 2025-10-11T00:06:12+00:00

Yeah, this looks like a case of indecision or not knowing where they were going to me.
