"The Parlor Room" is everything I wished Tom Vassal's "Dice Tower" and Wil Wheaton's show had grown into.

I think the big difference is DropOut has such a deep bench of comedians.

Even so, The Parlor Room is my favorite effective and entertaining way to shop for board games and learn the rules.

I wish my second favorite, "Beer and Boardgames" would join DropOut so I could watch them ad free more easily.

Be sure to check ouy Hyper Team Mechatron Go.

It's a delightful spoof of Power Rangers that has more heart than it has any right to.

Archie is an idiot, here.

BecauseThat's a two player race set. He could have saved a dollar, and gotten to trash that kid in a race.

Yes. And the awkward social situation is when they ask what I'm wearing, but I didn't pay any attention to the brand of the urinal mat.

I don't want that to happen again, so now I'm careful to take note of the urinal mat branding.

I grew to love Linux because I was hating Windows, I don't hate Windows because I love Linux. And I don't want to hate Windows, I wish they were slowly becoming anti-user, but they keep adding (forcing) features that are so unfriendly to the user.

Yes. If Windows was still like Windows XP, I don't know if I would have ever switched. It used to be fun, not soul sucking.

There's lots of other reasons I'm glad I switched, of course.

I find the windows update and Linux graphical updater processes identical. They only diverge at the end when the Windows one fails with a mysterious error message and offers to retry or open a troubleshooter that won't work.

Windows arguably is, indeed, two or three different systems stapled together. There's the C code kernal bits, the .Net runtime higher level bits, and the Electron "this didn't need to be fast anyway and we only knew how to write JavaScript" bits.

until it came time to install new software.

That is the big giveaway. I used the term "It's free" too many times when setting up software for them. "I used to have to pay for all of that."

I always hard code IPv4 addresses. Load balancing and DNS resolution are an admission of weakness.

(This is sarcasm. WTF Steam?)

This is such a perfectly Lemmy exchange, thank you. Silly is fine, but also real advice incoming.

Starfleet Academy, free rock climbing with Captain Worf. He might have been quoting something.

If I recall correctly, it has been released for moile on and off as experimental builds. Last time I grabbed an APK, it wasn't ready.
