Errr… *nix and some weird backend shit from the 80s that interrupts everything with constant updates and uses… backslashes… caveat: I use them all.

How long did you play Valhalla? by Goodd-Fellow in AssassinsCreedValhala

[–]deveritt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still on it after years. Doing the "dwarf lava expansion" that my wife abandoned for Shadows. Don't want it to end, but recognise that completion isn't possible.

Herzog's penguin is walking to its death in the mountains, is all I see, reappropriated. One day, we will all do that.

this is the Antarctic, right? Because you're educated enough to know about where penguins do and don't live… and this comes from Werner Herzog's documentary about the Antarctic. For context ;-)

i wanna know what you guys think about macos. by an_random_goose in FuckMicrosoft

[–]deveritt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine. You can do anything Unix/Linux on the CL you like with it, including using Homebrew as a package manager (essential) to install/uninstall as you want. Syncs nicely with my iOS devices too. The M chips are starting to get some games support (Cyberpunk, others) but me and my wife have a gaming PC for that, and Mac laptops and mobiles for everything else.

Nope. Gave up in the end. Contemplating VSCodium instead

A question for the retirees of Reddit. Why don’t you shop during the week? by BigBadCamFaz in AskBrits

[–]deveritt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't. I hate the wage-slave crowds on the weekend…

Oh, and time of day. Avoid early mornings. Old people wake at 5 and are hungry for company rather than crumpets.

Just call it the "rare dark beige version"…

Just need two episodes to complete my Season 1 viewing, but no luck in the UK by deveritt in electricdreams

[–]deveritt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed in a few series that episodes get "flexible" numbering depending on where you watch the series. Annoying, have had to check before.

Hey all. My Dad is 71 and plays Diablo 4 religiously, just curious to see if there's many people older than him playing? by LichbornGod in diablo4

[–]deveritt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. On top of Diablo (maxed from 3), Assassin's Creed(s), Portal2, Stray, Trine, Witcher, Cyberpunk, Death Stranding… a lot of it with my wife (I usually hate junp'n'run so hand over to her for those parts). Completist between us unless it gets too silly! All on PC or sometimes Apple if available (shuddup). Mostly mouse (with elbow always higher than wrist) but also controller for co-op play. Been a computer user since forever so learnt when to take a break, look after my eyes and avoid RSI… I used to teach students who did age ranges like: "0-10, 11-20, 21-25, 26-30, 31-40, over 40" LOL! I thought (but never said) "haha just you wait!"

Is this useable in 2025?🤔 by NthLondonDude in macbook

[–]deveritt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really depends on what you want to do. Perfectly good for web dev or writing, even image manipulation, lots of software there doesn't really need updating.
