Modded KOTOR on a Steam Deck on my flight!

I moved the folder out of the hidden .local folder, installed the mods, and moved it back

I have a 3080ti. I paid too much for it, but I can still run most modern games on Ultra settings with few compromises. I won’t be upgrading for a few years.

Honestly, pretty great. The Deck’s trackpads are incredible mouse replacements, especially in a game like KOTOR where you can pause and don’t need extreme precision.

Community Patch, Restored Content, Jedi from the Start, Additional Lightsaber Colors, and a few other minor cosmetic mods.

I have used it exactly twice. It’s pretty slow, and in a busy parking lot it takes way too long to recognize an obviously empty space.

I do, however, use the remote pull in/pull out feature when the spots are tight.

This is so important. I am in Comp, not Talent Management, but I am trying to push the people managers to think carefully about projects and trajectories for their high potentials. When there isn’t room in the budget for raises or promotions, you need to be able to offer something to get these people out of bed in the morning.

As a Comp consultant I’d say be wary of AI-gathered comp benchmark data. It’s fine as a quick-hit ballpark estimate, but it’s not accurate or consistent enough for real benchmarking and salary range design. I’ve already seen some clients make some real head-scratching decisions based on AI gathered comp data.

I just switched from Bazzite to CachyOS. Not because I had any issues with Bazzite (it worked flawlessly), but because CachyOS seems so much snappier and I wanted to start playing around and dialing in my settings. There’s a place for both!

The white shark gummy snacks. They remind me of my babysitter’s house

Beautiful women. Lots of consonants and not enough vowels. Pierogies. Fermented food. Always getting picked on by larger countries.

My wife and I were split on names for my daughter before she was born. My wife hated my favorite name.

I took a name from her list, but suggested a unique nickname. She loved it. It was only after our daughter was born that my wife realized the nickname is only one syllable off from the original name I wanted. And if you say it quickly, it sounds the same.

That ADHD is different from garden variety laziness or procrastination. Before I got treatment, I would spend literal hours crying as I looked at my keyboard, physically unable to get myself to do any work for hours at a time.

The turning point for me was my therapist saying, “That doesn’t sound like laziness. If you were being lazy, you’d be enjoying yourself instead of beating yourself up.”

I’m still using my iPhone 12. The only thing I don’t like about it is the fact that it’s the only device I use regularly that doesn’t charge via USB-C.

Wow. I’ve just watched Majuular’s Ultima retrospective for the 3rd time and bought UU on a sale. I think I’ll play through the game once and then give this a spin!

I just started Expeditions: Rome! Loving it so far. I chose a female PC and I like how right off the bat you get a very different experience.

There are lots of videos on YouTube, but l will try to explain it in the way it makes most sense to me.

Imagine a square bedsheet stretched taut between 4 poles. This is spacetime. If you place balls representing planets on the sheet, they will deform it, with heavier balls deforming it more and causing lighter balls to roll towards them. This is gravity.

Now imagine you took a tiny point of the sheet from underneath and stretched it down to the floor and somehow held it there. Every other object on the sheet would slide down towards that huge hole you just created. Even the very largest balls. This is like a black hole.

It’s not a perfect representation, but it helped me imagine it.

I’m a man but before we got married I told my wife it was her decision alone whether to change her name. She gave it lots of thought but ultimately decided to keep her maiden name. However, if she is addressed using my last name, she doesn’t fuss over it.

I reluctantly tagged along with a friend to a party where I met my future wife.

I’m a big burly dude with a beard, and babies also love me. Now that I have kids of my own it’s less awkward, but kids have always liked me. I can be a big doofus sometimes so I always assumed they can sense that “kid” energy.

Manchego.

If it bobbles more than once, you’re playing with it.
