I’ll give an honorable mention to Terraria–largely because I had to explain it to someone recently and it was more difficult than I anticipated.

Yeah, you can just say “2D Minecraft,” but it’s more than that. It’s almost an RPG in terms of advancements and equipment development, and it’s very combat oriented. But it’s not really a sidescroller or a metroidvania type, because the digging and building plays a huge part.

Less genre defining, and more living in the liminal space between a lot of other genres.

Bootloader stuff is less important if you’re not dual booting. Windows has a tendency to attempt to rewrite the bootloader when it updates.

But if you’re interested, it never hurts to learn about your BL!

If you still need both, it’s an okay option, though it can be a little challenging to set up and maintain if you’re not as tech savvy. But in that case, to address the original question: learning how to restore your bootloader would be helpful.

But if running Windows in a VM works for what you need, that’s an option too (that’s what I do).

Or if you want to play around with Linux before committing, running it from a USB drive is also fine.

I never got the hype with Doctor Who in general, but I can see the appeal of the character.

I think he’s endearing. But I was probably about 12 when I first played BG1, and the dumb-but-good-hearted warrior with the world’s only miniature giant space hamster was comedic gold for me at that age.

I wasn’t a fan of Astarion either. Though to be fair, I’m never a fan of self-centered characters or evil runs. I don’t get the appeal.

I found Shart less annoyed by altruism, and there are story reasons too. Astarion’s just an ass.

Aside from Tim Curry’s rendition in Muppet Treasure Island. Pure gold.

Ross is the one that drives me insane. Literally every other person demonstrates some sort of growth over the 10 years the show takes place, but Ross is pretty much exactly the same.

For me, Rachel starts out annoying but gets more likeable through the seasons.

Yeah, but by putting up the “we don’t support this” banner, they won’t have to deal with the complaints in the first place.

It’s also possible they want people to use Chromium for telemetry or other data-collection reasons, not sure.

Toronto Transit Commission. Donald loves to ride the rocket.

Sort of. I imagine the idea is they only need to test on Chromium-based browsers.

“Yeah, but my PC doesn’t handle it well. If my PC were upgraded, it could really gen some AI.”

Absolutely. Making sure I have a huge life insurance policy, but getting it far ahead enough to avoid questions of fraud would be worth it.

I’ll throw Alpine Linux into the mix. Not sure how well it supports older hardware, but it’s really small.

I can fix her

Yeah, the base repositories are the same (along with Debian). In addition, Ubuntu gives access to the snap store, while Mint uses a flatpak repo. It won’t mean a lot to everyone–the main distinction between the distros is the default DE.

Mint uses flatpaks instead of snaps.

I wish I could, but cameras are restricted :/

My office has two ping pong tables. They’re literally roped off with caution tape, and nobody is allowed to use them. I wish I were kidding.
