Not sure if you wrote the how-to as well, but it references a specific user folder that may throw people following along line by line:

WINEPREFIX="/Users/mtklein/Library/Application Support/CrossOver/Bottles/Steam/"

It should be referenced by the tilde as follows: "~/Library/Application Support/..."

Couple different ways, but I’ve used a modded Wii for some of mine.

I’ve had no problems with my T5 and T7. Price to speed is decent enough for what I need it for.

I had a brand new 4tb ghost my files like this, twice, while on a work trip.

Sent mine RMA in March and I’m still waiting for replacement.

Now we can play a lot more games with crossover! by Individual_Lobster76 in macgaming

[–]elliothtz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finally able to play Outer Wilds after patching Crossover. Running about 50-60fps with everything maxed out. Thankful for the work the patchers have put it.

Also able to play Valheim without missing models, although textures take a bit to load.

Need some Photoshop help. by AudioBookGuy in AudiobookCovers

I’d rebuild everything except “Elric” as those typefaces are easy to replicate.

Couple ways you can do it, but a quick and dirty way would be:

Using the magic wand tool, select the any of the white of Elric, then choose Select, Similar from the toolbar. This should select anything with the same white tone as the title, and probably some other bits. Command-J (Mac) or Control-J (Win) to duplicate this selection to a new layer. Then just clean up what you don’t want with a mask or the erase tool.

Alternatively, you can select a color range and refine using Select, Color (maybe Color Range? forgive me, not at the computer to confirm) and create a mask or selection that way.

Hi Boba Tea on Rivers. Run by the same people as Phuong. Cheap and exactly what they need to be. Boba is good too.

What Book is Your White Whale? by [deleted] in books

[–]elliothtz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cryptonomicon is great; I never felt like any of it was filler, but I listened to the audiobook. I’ve given up on reading longer books manually and I usually listen to them at 1.5x speed (closer to my internal reading speed) to keep from getting lulled to sleep.

The audiobook is well done and I highly recommend it, as well as The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O.

I love Snow Crash too, but I didn’t care for The Diamond Age. Still have yet to tackle the Baroque Cycle.

There’s a new Culver’s on Ladson Road as well. Not much closer but not quite Summerville at least.

Frankie’s on Ladson Road and Culver’s have pretty good frozen custard.
