That my parents didn’t have parents. I knew my grandparents well, I just never connected the dots.

I was in the same boat, so I’ll leave you with this golden nugget you probably want to check out:

Forrest Gump.

Hear me out… As many already know, the original author deliberately wrote a terrible sequel book in an effort to ensure that a sequel would never be made. And I respect that kind of integrity to the point where I intend on buying the book just to support his decision. And if, against all odds, they actually made that book into a movie, I’d probably watch it so he could get some royalties from that too.

It could be fun to watch a sequel of her getting PTSD’d by yet another mode of transportation while she was getting it on with some lower class riffraff.

She became queen of somewhere far far away, actually. I don’t remember the details; it was a long long time ago.

Memes

Fuckit, if anything more fancy than HTML + CGI is needed, there’s always VRML.

…holy shit, it just dawned on me… VRML + CGI? Today’s PCs should have no issue rendering it, and server-side should be the same as any other CGI page. I gotta do some experimenting with this.

I choose to believe that autism appeared only after the invention of railway, and you can’t convince me otherwise.

Probably because we want somewhere that isn’t flooded with whatever detestable thing trump last did or said. I’ve been meaning to put out feelers about revising the rule to “No current/recent politics”, but I’ve never gotten around to it.

Locking due to Rule 6. Keeping it up to be fair to the ones who took their time to respond.

LAN party

At least once. They found a bottle of moonshine in one of the drawers under my bed when I was 16. And it could’ve been found by accident, as it would’ve been spotted if my mom changes by bedding and lifted the mattress.

It resulted in “the talk” regarding danger of methanol poisoning when buying from unknown sources, and advice on not getting too hammered.

Fortran. At least it was comprehensible to a human brain once upon a time. And probably efficiently written.

My experience with ProTools and Cakewalk 20ish years ago came in handy. Other than that, there are some really nice youtube tutorials available.

One thing worth mentioning is their excellent customer support. I signed up for the trial period, but then life happened, and I contacted them an explained my case and they were more than willing to reset my trial period so I could have a proper go.

After buying it I had a support request and they were both helpful and quick to help me resolve the issue.

I think that reverses the question. If you had to pick one, would you occasionally eat cheese or occasionally have sex with someone?

Bitwig. Excellent DAW that has a native linux build. I tried to like Ardour and many of the other open source alternatives, but they all felt cumbersome and not very mature.

The only real limiting factor is my family - If headed somewhere that isn’t work related, it would only make sense that they come with me, which increases cost, so driving only.

As for flights, sure, if it’s only me. I’ve accumulated enough points with most airlines to upgrade my seating to something really nice for free.

Steam + Proton, for the most part. Lutris for Kitten Space Agency.
