I've experimented around with it. They seem finicky. They always use their reactions, but sometimes will attack once, sometimes twice, sometimes stand still while tanking damage, kinda depends.

 

I recently got the ability to transform into a Displacer Beast at the start of Act 3. However, when I use the Illusory Copy abilities sometimes they just don't take their turn? Like their turn comes up, they sit motionless, and then end their turn.

Is this a bug or a problem with how I'm summoning/using them?

Idk how all states do it but in my state if you're "single" with children you can draw anywhere from 600-1200 depending on what you make.

If you don't see a problem with:

30-50% of the south being on food stamps and 40% of the south being obese, idk what to tell you man that's just maths.

There is a large percentage of people on food stamps who are healthy, able bodied adults who actively choose to not work and or abuse the safety net. & those people still end up making enough to be obese making those decisions while making the system bogged down to the point where some actually disabled people, with their legs blown off or who cannot process information on the same level because they are mentally deficit, cannot get their disability or someone to take care of them.

Obesity is not a disability. It's either a symptom or a decision.

Yeah, he pays more in taxes than he would if they jointly filed. But the money his wife gets back + 700-1000/mo in EBT more than makes up for it. That's basically an extra 20 grand not taxed per year.

Its not your age, it's the games you're playing. There's a ton of great games out right now, but if you're playing the same kinds of games you've always played, maybe you've outgrown them. You could be frustrated with their mechanics, or think their progression isn't as good as the old games, maybe you cant see as well or grind as hard as these twelve year olds on adderall, whatever it may be.

Try playing games you enjoyed before. You'll probably still like them. Branch out into different genres, even if it's something you don't know if you'll like or not. I don't care for top down games, but gave Hades a try and absolutely loved it. Maybe try to play remakes/remasters/new takes on old games. The REmakes for Resident Evil (particularly 2&4, I liked 3 but it gets a lot of deserved hate), and even the continuation of the RE franchise in Biohazard and Village are fun and scary. Just some recommendations. :)

Pirating a small company/org feels weird to me.

Like yeah, sure, LTT makes (at the bare minimum, the actual # is more this is just extrapolated from their lowest sub cost) like 1.5mil/yr from Floatplane (gross, ofc, not net). That's a pretty modest amount for their team to include profits/salaries/hosting/etc.

Linus Sebastian, the individual, is a millionaire. That isn't money that is being used to make my quality of life/other services worse, though. I don't care enough about the exclusives to actually watch them, but if I did I'd fork out $3-5 every few months to catch up on the ones I wanted to see.

Big tech? Raise ye flags. Normal people making a living off of big tech? Feels weird to me. Not saying not to hurt their bottom line, just that doing it through a platform that (at their scale) isn't making a ludicrous amount of profit and isn't actively damaging your access to your services, feels weird to me.

Just pirate YouTube. It will give you the same content for free, and you'll be stealing features Google thinks you should be paying for, like background playback, video quality, a down vote count, the ability to download videos for later, etc.

Just curious, what were you doing with Firefox to pull anywhere near that much RAM? Right now I've got a few tabs open along with Steam/Discord/Spotify/a few terminal windows/Helvum and I'm not using 3gb for the entire system according to htop. Just curious how many tabs you have open to pull 32GB from Firefox.

It doesn't bother my eyes, but then again my monitor isn't very bright so the contrast doesn't bother me.

It more or less is just better Sway with wah better documentation.

 

Idk if I would necessarily recommend this for other beginners like myself, but Fedora was last on my list of stuff to try and after working through some initial gripes with dnf/copr, it really grew on me. Didn't end up enjoying GNOME so went to work on sorting out Hyprland. First time using Wayland, but the performance increase has been really noticeable.

Anyway, the goodies:

The music player is spotify-tui, available at: https:/aur.archlinux.org/spotify-tui.git

It's basically just a terminal interface for Spotify/Spotifyd. Really useful keyboard shortcuts and usability imo. Recommend it for anyone wanting a terminal player on Arch or its derivatives.

 

wm: qTile

terminal: alacritty

text editor: sublime

Not a lot going on here, just the setup I've been running for a while. I'm planning on trying out Fedora in the next few days, but I always come back to Arch (or have in the past with Ubuntu based distros).
