Haha thank you. Strange. I wonder why Arabic.

Oh weird… I was wondering why I was suddenly getting ad after ad for AWS. The algorithm read your comment before I did haha. Is AWS more for experienced people?
Hmmmm I never even considered that someone might take me on with zero experience. I’ll have to look into that. Well, It seems I have some research to do. Thanks again.
Edit: I’m 15 min into a tryhackme course and it’s pretty fun.
I wouldn't mind starting in some sort of entry level IT position. It looks like most of them start around $25/hr here which is fine. My only real goal is to transition into an industry with room to grow. I don't care about being wealthy. I don't know how to describe it but I need a job that gives me some sort of fulfillment. I'm leaving the booze industry because I'd rather self immolate than continue in a field where there's a defined ceiling and no real reason to put in hard work.
As far as my interest in tech goes... it's hard to say. I bought a Chromebook Plus for the simplicity but I find myself using the enabled Linux more and more every day. I spent about 10 hours trying to get Fallout: New Vegas installed this weekend and now that I have it running, I'm not really interested in playing it. I think the fun was trying to get it running on my Chromebook when I was told that I couldn't/ it wouldn't be worth it. (another reason why I don't use Reddit anymore.) That being said, I think I enjoy learning new skills and problem solving more than I care about tech... if that makes sense.
Anyway, I do appreciate your response.
Weird. I haven’t going a single non-Celtics fan who wants them to win. They knew they were losing that game. Win it at home. Monday is going to be the loudest game in history.
ahhhhh I get ya. I didn't realize that the +Add had a "Search Lutris Website" option. I have it downloading right now. Thanks.
Hmmm yeah maybe I should. I've been enjoying Lutris quite a bit but if Heroic gets it to work, who cares I guess. I can do the research but do you know if Heroic also does all the work of extracting and running files? Through Wine I'd assume?
Thank God I didn't go all-in on Linux haha. This is already a pain.
Are you trying to run it through stream? I’m a novice but from what I’ve read, that’s probably a part of the problem. Also, the gog version has a lot of kinks and bugs worked out + performance improvement.
Ironically, as I was searching for a solution I came across a satirical Hard Drive article about MIT offering a degree in “installing NV on modern machines” haha.
Hmmm I’ll see if I can work that out. I’m a bit unfamiliar with all of this but would I save the game download to a folder within lutris and then do the manual install as you mentioned?
Wow. Day one on here and it’s already 1000x more helpful than Reddit. What a piece of crap that platform is now haha. “That game is for windows and even if could get it running, it wouldn’t be playable on a Chromebook” after not reading the body of my post.
Anyway, thank you. I’ll try that today.
Nope. No VPN. I left out the strangest part because it sounds schizophrenic, too. Haha. I closed out the Arabic message and took a screenshot. As soon as I took the screenshot my phone went into standby mode, just like when your phone dies. Black screen with spinning wheel but for probably 15-20 seconds. The audio never stopped, though. When my screen came back my phone did a strange sort of jutter that immediately reminded me of what a phone would do when you sent an email maybe 8-10 years ago. It’s hard to explain but do you remember when older phones would almost freeze for a millisecond while it processed and sent the email? Same sort of thing. And the cherry on top was that my phone wouldn’t actually take the screenshot haha. I hate to sound paranoid but I clearly triggered some sort of security red flags. Oh well. Makes me wonder though.
