Hey, what’s your middle name?

Your username reminds me of something. I don’t know what though …

A wise coworker of mine once told me that, when it comes to what Unix commands stand for, you kind of make it up as you go.

In this case, though, looks like we were both wrong.

You run a Discord server for work? I thought my company using Google was crazy.

My client apparently no longer allows editing or deleting, but please disregard this comment.

A tool, primarily within Linux, that can overwrite disks. I’ve never seen it recommended for data deletion, but I guess it makes sense.

It stands for “disk to disk” and is usually used for things like writing ISOs.

However, shred is the usual approach.

What are “stage in servers”?

That would be a sight worth seeing.

Back when bash.org was around: Person 1: Person 2 has so little game he could fall into a barrel of nipples and come out sucking his thumb. Person 2: The concept of a barrel of nipples confuses and frightens me.

Thank you!

With your newfound expertise, could you summarize it for me?

edit: I get that a handheld gaming (I think?) system used to be Windows only but will soon officially support at least one much used Linux distro. Is there more to it than that?

If not, that’s still pretty cool. The words I didn’t know just made me uncertain.

With the number of games that I’ve been playing for years that didn’t have tutorials when I started playing them but do now, I’m starting to feel pretty old.

When I played, there absolutely, positively was not a tutorial level. Or even the hint of one. Good to know things have changed!

It’s been years since I played. When I did, the only options (at least that I found) were shove and stomp. I guess it’s improved since then.

I don’t know if it’s what the original commenter was referencing, but the combat controls - mostly not shown in your list - were extremely unintuitive last time I played it. Otherwise I enjoyed the game.

Dude, really?

I bet there are magnets to allow that.

I always thought a Futurama-based MMO would be amazing.

Awesome - hope you like it when you get to it!

Have you seen the game VEIN that just came out? I haven’t played Zomboid in years but the few reviews of VEIN that I’ve seen all describe it as “Zomboid but first person.”

(I only mention this because I’ve seen you post about Zomboid several times so thought you might enjoy something allegedly similar. I’m not affiliated in any way.)

Oh, those weren’t my hands.

(Also, I haven’t thought about CUPS in forever and this made me laugh. Thank you!)

I wanna CUP.

Are you NerdCubed?

The art kinda reminds me of Thank Goodness You’re Here:

That’s the main character, but there are also characters more resembling the mascot you’ve shown. This looks closest to me:

Maybe it’s just me.

Big time.

The first, last and only time I’ve ever interacted with Digimon was the theme song for what I assume was the same show. To be fair, the song was pretty awesome.

I’m no expert - I never leave the house so I have no need of one. However, I think OpenVPN is free and allows this functionality? A lot of modern routers even integrate it.

It does, however, require some - a little - technical knowhow.

Wasn’t Synergy the software that let you use one mouse and keyboard between multiple computers? Not like a KVM but with them running seamlessly side by side.

I would think older games could be tricked into believing they were on a LAN using a VPN.

Secretly, I was hoping you’d ask that question … But about my middle-of-nowhere village on the opposite side of the country.

Maybe another game, another time, online.

May I join?

Whenever I introduce people to Adventure Time, there are a few episodes I recommend. They are generally episodes that don’t require much familiarity with the universe, though said familiarity would enhance the experience.

I encourage you to watch the show in whatever way seems beneficial to you, but if you want suggestions, I’m here for you.

edit: But even if you don’t seek out any other suggestions from me, it’s a good idea to watch the Graybles episodes a maximum of once.

Season 3 is just when it starts to get good.

I’m sorry if I’m telling you something you already know, but for reference: the creator of AT was explicitly “anti canon” for the first two seasons. In the third they started to be willing to tell a consistent, coherent story. It’s a rough start, but it gets better from there; I understand if you’re reluctant to dedicate more time, but IMHO it’s well worth it.

Hah - I get that. The show wasn’t around when I was a kid and, when I tried to start it as an adult, the first two seasons didn’t exactly encourage me to pursue it. I’m not normally okay with “it gets good in season three” type shows, but a friend convinced me to stick with it and I’m glad they did because it’s now among my favorite shows.

If I weren’t familiar with this game and saw screenshots, I could believe it was an Adventure Time game.

I appreciate this sentiment and find your posts enhanced by the knowledge, but can’t think of anything to enhance it.

Thank you for following up!

It’s always fun to see what games you post that I recognize and which you post that require reading your post to identify.

Still is. I’ve seen almost exactly this exchange on Lemmy at least three times.

Happy anniversary!

In Ross’ video, IIRC, he said 110% was good, 120% was pretty safe, and 140% was very safe.

edit: Correct autocorrect.
