STD lost me early on, but I liked Stamets and Tilly, and Lorca was interesting. I wish they'd've introduced it as new IP rather than calling it a Trek show, but eh. Different strokes. I got my SNW and I'm happy.

I went to see what thinkgeek dot com was selling these days. Sad to discover that they are no more.

I've heard people talking about the switch but I've not seen it yet on git for Windows. I'd upgrade but I need to set up a new remote box anyway (to replace my on-prem Bitbucket) and I don't need any hassles between now and whenever I get a chance to do that.

MinTTY in Windows (for git bash) and whatever the default is in Debian

I'm not sure what needs optimizing. It's fine on Pixel Tablet.

I used to have all of them. Everybody got my money every month. Then all the prices went up. Now only one of them gets my money per month. It's not so much the expense. It's the principle.

Mel Brooks and David Attenborough seem like safe bets.

Thanks to the modding community we were able to play Mass Effect as if it were running on console many years before the Legendary Edition was available.

These days, for me the absolute minimum is full controller support due to the wife acceptance factor. She loved Dragon Age Inquisition so we tried to play Origins a couple years ago, and even though I'd cloned the displays, me sitting behind her at my computer instead of next to her on the couch was a deal breaker.

There are other plusses in terms of WAF, full voice narration and a good story being chief among them. There's a reason the only soulslike I've ever really played is Fallen Order. 😆

For me playing alone (which I almost never do anymore), one example I can think of is trying to go back to Dark Age of Camelot after playing WoW for a while. That was...painful.

Sia - Breathe Me (mainly because of Six Feet Under)

Honorable mention to Dan Folgelberg - Same Old Lang Syne.

I remember reading a book when I was a kid called The Dog Days of Arthur Cane. I think the fairy was a witch doctor but basically the same idea. As I recall, Arthur saw the best and the worst of humanity during his predicament. Sadly no Wikipedia page for the author but the book is on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2006378.The_Dog_Days_of_Arthur_Cane
