You’re in for a treat! I tend to still prefer the parser based EGA versions for nostalgia reasons but it’s very well done and faithful to the original.

I’m longing for another play-through thanks to you! Maybe I’ll go fighter then paladin instead of my usual magical thief.

So, you want to be a hero?

Probably my most replayed game, along with Betrayal at Krondor.

Have you checked out the excellent remake of QfG2?

I wear earplugs daily and nightly due to a sensory disorder and recently tried a new kind that’s by far the best from the many I’ve tried in terms of comfort. They’re also excellent in noise reduction.

Mack’s Ultra Soft Foam Earplugs

Ditto. I just farted to look into this yesterday and found the trash guides. It was pretty incomprehensible and I gave up. I hope to come back to this thread later and see that someone has explained how to set this up simply.

Dark meditation retreats are common in Tibetan Buddhism. The birthing canal metaphor is also extremely common in ritual ceremonies.

Not much, u?

Long European radishes are mild, the round American ones are quite spicy, like mustard or horse_radish_.

I had such a frustrating time getting onto that site and trying to figure out their karma system after I made it in. Nothing I actually wanted to read or listen to was available until you reached a certain level of upload. I downloaded all the free leech stuff but nobody downloaded it from me. It was a huge waste of time and I gave up eventually.

Looks like iterative waterfall

Like submersing them in water to boil them? Eggs in the US are pre-washed as well.

Egg shells are porous

The clicks are all “oh god oh god make it stop” clicks but no matter to them.

Just checked on my pi4 with 4GB of ram that has been running beautifully as a NAS with 2x10TB USB drives mirrored, *arr suite, and Jellyfin for a couple of years, only 250mb of RAM free. I’m glad I splurged and got the 4gb model.

You don’t want a swap file on the SD card as excessive writes will kill it rather quickly.

I’ll take an 8 bay NAS with Thunderbolt/USB 4 for the best of both worlds. My only problem is that I’m very sensitive to sound and I don’t want spinning hard drives in my office.

I’m very happy with ansible-NAS! https://ansible-nas.io/

It takes some extra time to understand and configure up front on another computer, but once you do, reimaging the server in case of problems takes a single command.

Wifi inside the cage?

Nope, but I did move from Waze to Google Maps and now settled on Apple Maps because of increasing enshittification and ad bloat.

Nope, I think our only hope is the EU forcing more openness on the platform. Thankfully there are safari addons now, they’re useful though limited. I just wish we had Firefox and its extension library like android does now.

You’re right about Apple. I hope the EU will force openness into the ecosystem. I’m also hopeful that open and free alternatives will continue to become more viable in terms of user experience; the switch to Lemmy from Reddit has been mostly painless.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Edit: Raivo is perfect for a dedicated Authenticator app in the Apple ecosystem. I’ll likely pay for Bitwarden instead as I want to support their great product.
