Found the original. Man that was hard to navigate, especially from mobile.

Well unfortunately if it's the bearings dying, it continuing to run will likely overheat it and you risk locking it entirely. I've had to freeze a drive before scanning it and backing up, but it's only about 50% successful.

I'm still going with hinky.

I'm actually the opposite on this because I agree. I use Arch (btw) but I'm also aware this is not the OS for the uninitiated. Arch users who suggest it for the jumping off point from Windows are: a) dicks, and b) delusional in thinking this is a reasonable UX, and c) they are actually giving Arch a bad name by suggesting it inappropriately.

I use Arch (still, btw) because I want the bleeding edge on many things, I actually prefer the shell for most admin tasks, and it lets me fully customize my install, not installing any bloat I don't want. But I'm also very comfortable with Linux and have used various other distros before this one for decades.

When a friend asks me which Linux flavor, I try to take into account their use case. Gaming only? Bazzite, SteamOS, or maybe Mint. Productivity? Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, Mint. Power user ready for Arch? They probably already know and I don't need to tell them.

"I hate change"

Jokes don't necessarily make you an asshole, even with sensitive topics, it's about good faith in it being light-hearted. Jokes bridge the gap in talking about topics that are uncomfortable normally.

For example, I have a good friend who is disabled who I game with. My friend group calls him Cripple, and I'll also give him a hard time about by mentioning things about his specific handicap and he'll call me an ableist fuck, but he knows it's not being said in a mean way.

What's worse to him? Being treated different just because he's handicapped. He'd rather have that banter and feel like part of the group, not isolated.

The thumbnail shows "assword" so I'll upvote.

Wait, I have 3 ports on that thing? I never turn it around and look, I just line up against my gamepad dongle for adding a cable for charging. Huh. Guess I'll have to look lol.

What? No. Literally showed they understood the joke by putting it in other words.

2 months ago I would have been curious why. But since finishing E33, I then binged all of NieR and I wholeheartedly agree now. I'd probably pay any price for another Sandfall game now too. As well as for any Trails/Kiseki game, but that's literally it.

As much as I adore games like Witcher 3, CDPR needs to prove themselves all over again with Witcher 4 after the misfire launch of CP2077.

And I also loved FF7 Rebirth, it was almost a perfect game for me, but SquEnix really needs to make the impossible perfect game for the trilogy itself to make this journey feel worth it, so I'm so damn cautiously optimistic about the final game.

I'm torn between whether they meant they didn't know there was a second game or if it's like me saying it's too bad there was never a second Matrix movie.
