Honestly, I don't really set an age limit. I won't judge people who are out for fun. I've been there, there's not much to do around where I live.

That being said though... Regardless of your age, if you costume up, you're likely to get more candy from me. (I'll also offer candy to parents and older siblings who aren't taking part because I'm cool like that. Just don't stick chocolate bars in your pockets LMAO)

Good thing they're doing this just as people are wondering what comes after Windows 10 is EOL /s.

My cherry blues sat in the closet: Sad clicky sounds...

(It was described to me as a storm of angry nerds after someone insulted Arch btw. I run linears now.)

Fork and knife/spoon - use the fork to spin and the other to cut off the pasta. This allows you to get a decent-sized mouthful without looking like these 4.

Also chopsticks. I could never but a friend I used to talk to swore by it.

It feels like every corporate entity is out to sabotage themselves these days...

TBF I don't trust IGN anyway, they have too much finanicial incentive to do as they're told. Maybe we need like a megathread of trustworthy reviewers.

I'd pretend I didn't know about Pokemon unless asked because my image of Pokemon is very different to their new eyes. Don't wanna ruin it for them, you know?

Not enough nanomachines.

While Gnome can be shaped into something Windowslike with extensions 'Arcmenu' and 'Dash to Panel', for another user I'd suggest just using a DE that already works like that. Best choices IMO are Cinnamon or KDE.

Since you already want to use a Ubuntu desktop, I'll stick to suggesting Ubuntu flavours. KDE on Ubuntu, you'll want Kubuntu. For Cinnamon, there is a Ubuntu Cinnamon flavour.

KDE is somewhat more modern-feeling than Cinnamon but also uses more resources. If your GF's system is a bit weak, maybe go for Cinnamon. Cinnamon is also a bit retro in it's design, so it might be more comfortable for people used to older Windows versions.

I recommend downloading a live installer for both, showing her them and letting her pick the one she likes the most. (On that note, I hope you got her permission to do this...)

Oh yes. Salt and Pepper chicken without the window open. Once and only once. Soon as the spice went in, I realised my mistake. The kitchen was unbearable for the whole night.

Win+drag

Thank you internet person, you have changed my life forever.

I think... Gran Turismo?? I am a big fan of racing but the handling of TOCA Touring Car Championship never agreed with me despite my love for 90's BTCC. I had a better time with the more sensible handling of GT1.

I have fond memories of a yellow Impreza. I couldn't drive the RWD cars back then. I also remember me trying to use a racing wheel, I was equally bad at it but at least I was having fun!

I mostly agree. Games of all types can co-exist and knowing this doesn't ruin enjoyment of the games that I do play.

Like Skyrim modding for example, there's so many mods that display fanservice, nudity and even intercourse. Does that ruin the game for me? Not at all. In fact, I still play it despite that knowledge. I simply choose not to use mods that I don't want to use.

Or a certain magicky wizarding game, that game can exist too without wishing death on people who want to play it. Doesn't mean I have to play it, nor does it ruin gaming for me.

Instead, the logical thing to do would be to pass on this game and find another. I fully understand that BG3 is one of the games of our lifetime, but it's not the game for me. (Of which there are many)

As someone who grew up watching my father crawl through dungeons (I think he enjoyed IWD more than BG), it's great to see Baldur's Gate at the forefront. Hopefully more of my childhood favourite RPGs will come back. I'd love to see Dungeon Siege and Neverwinter Nights brought back.
