As another person who also has Crohn’s, that sounds absolutely perfect!

I had one of these done for an endoscopy - it ended horribly. It got “stuck” so I ended up having to have surgery for it to be removed.

Getting that surgery coordinated and scheduled took months all the while my health was declining. Eventually it got so bad that I couldn’t hold down food and I had to be pre-admitted to the hospital a month before the procedure and put on IV nutrition…

Granted I do have an autoimmune GI condition which is what prompted that test in the first place, and the chances of this happening is supposedly quite small but… Yeah I’ll take the endoscopy and colonoscopy over even that small chance of going through all of that all over again…

Let us know how it goes, and if you have any further questions, feel free to give us a shout!

Ah, gotcha - yeah that is definitely one of the pitfalls of Linux gaming still, which is the “there’s so many different configurations and some of them just work, others don’t” issue. I have an AMD card so perhaps it is an Nvidia issue - hopefully those sorts of issues smooth out once NVK is fully ready to go.

What issues does Forza have on Linux? I can’t speak for the Motorsport series, but I’ve been playing 4 and 5 on my Steam Deck and desktop for a while now without issue.

Exactly the same for me too haha, I’ve beat the ender dragon with friends before on shared worlds, but I’ve never beaten it in my own single player world.

I generally have really short bursts of playing MC these days, and by the time I play again a new update has come out so I usually just completely reset to new world features and such. I know that they generate in unexplored chunks and that you can go prune chunks and whatnot, but rather than spend time doing that I’d rather just spend the time playing. Hell, these days I don’t even usually get to the stage of getting Netherite gear.

I’ve had some really bad brain fog for most of the year, so while I’m generally not able to recall them on the spot, I certainly do see quite a few that makes me go “Oh hey I remember that one!”.

I like that the Threadiverse is still kinda at the size that this still happens quite a bit.

I’d be very surprised if I were recognized since I’ve been quite bad about contributing to the conversation, but I still enjoy things around here nonetheless!

Congrats on the new home!

Pay day, I’ve been working on a new project at work, and the time I’ve put in for it gets paid at a higher rate - I’ll end up with a little more than double my usual paycheck!

They have their own hosting plans, but you can also self host it.

If there’s anything that I’ve learned, it’s that lawsuits are more often than not, just a joke to the large companies.

Hell it’s often easier for them to just classify whatever fine they get slapped on the wrist with as a business expense, than to do the right thing, it seems.

Oh wow, that does sound glorious! I’m definitely looking to get an OLED TV (or at least an OLED monitor) next, I’ve had an OLED screen on my phone for a while now but it wasn’t until I recently picked up the OLED Steam Deck that made me go “Wow this is amazing!” - now I want it everywhere haha.

Dang, OLED TVs haven’t even gotten to my price range yet! Though admittedly I could probably do a better job at looking I suppose…

Wait, what?! I had no clue Community was getting a movie - you’ve just made my day!

Thankfully Mastodon seems to be doing a good job at providing news like this for me. I first saw it the morning it happened because I had to approve the trending link that a lot of people were posting.

Diablo (at least 3 - excluding the console versions and 4, not sure about the older ones) is an online-only game, if they’re locking you out of your account, then you will not be able to authenticate to the game server and thus won’t be able to play.

Diablo is indeed a single purchase game (with tons of MTX and soon to be DLC of course, but the base game is a single purchase).

I haven’t looked into Proton, but BitWarden is open source both server side and client side.

The only game that I keep Windows around for is Destiny 2… I know, but it’s the game my closest friends are often playing - but I’ve been playing it less and less so I might actually end up removing Windows completely if the next expansion doesn’t go well.

Now that I have a Steam Deck, I have zero reasons to get into Windows-only games anymore.

Definitely reach out to their support if it’s still giving you issues, I’d imagine a lot of people are coming back for 1.0 so it could very well be something they’re able to easily/quickly fix now.
