I love Kenji Lopez-Alt. His book The Food Lab is great if you like a scientific approach to cooking.

This doesn't look terrib...[FROM ZACK SNYDER]

Nevermind

I just started tinkering with this yesterday in Gnome on Pop! and it looked like there are options to exclude certain programs from tiling if that's what you're looking for.

I loved DA:O. It was far from perfect, but at the time it was the closest we could get to a spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, and Icewind Dale - dark fantasy, tactical combat, and a decent story.

Then DA 2 came along and it felt like an entirely different series. I didn't get it at the time because of how simplified and arcadey it looked. I picked it up on some deep sale and got bored of it pretty quickly.

DA:I seemed to be trending back in the right direction with a bit more tactical combat. I never finished it but it was decent enough on a sale. This looks like they doubled down on DA 2 here and...meh.

Doubtful I would have gotten it anyway since it's EA but I would have loved to have been proven wrong.

Cool, thanks for that. I read John Romero's 'Doom Guy' earlier this year and it was pretty good. Not perfect, but it fed my nostalgia for the olden days of Commander Keen and Doom.

I think some of the later stuff aged well if you're into point and click adventure games and some "retro" looking graphics. But the early ones might be a little janky for anyone who didn't live through that era.

You have to type in the actions you want to do and they looked like this:

 

I hope this is cool to post here. It's a Backerkit project for a documentary about Sierra On-line. I grew up playing these and figured there might be some other old farts around who would be interested.

I remember Kings Quest 6 blowing my mind when it came out and I only had the floppy disk version. I never knew until I was much older that there was a CD-ROM version with full voice over.

My problem was that dual booting kept me from committing. I'd use Linux a bit, go back to Windows to game, then a Windows update would kill grub or whatever it's called these days and I'd forget about it.

Been rocking Pop! with a 3080 for about 3 months with only a few minor gripes. Darktide had some weird tiny lag in it somewhere that I couldn't nail down but every other game I've played has worked just fine. And for some reason if I connect to mullvad using their app before opening Firefox, it'll lag out for 10-15 secs.

Everything else has been rock solid. I'd prefer KDE to Gnome, but with Dash to Panel, the Pop Gnome is good enough for now. Cosmic should be out relatively soon. I tinkered with Nobara and KDE plasma 6 for a few days but it was nowhere near as stable, so I came right back to Pop.

The Godfather book has a lot of great character nuances but it also has a subplot of Sonny's enormous dong being the only thing that could satisfy his wife's bridesmaid's enormous vagina.

I was all set to correct you. Never realized the Manfred Mann version was a cover.
