I'd say a lot of people think they can, and this I have witnessed all to well (and too often), yet rarely (never in certainly) have I seen those who can.

No worries, life is busy. Thanks for clearing that up.

The OP made a good point.

Please point out "female" in my post - I'll wait

Really, at full efficiency? If so, my hat is off to you!

Sounds ok to me (male).

"The male wakes up at 7am, so he can prepare for his office work; he's tired and being worn down, yet somehow remains resolute. In this way, he channels the spirit of the emperor penguin and endures."

Remember folks, the gender wars distract from the class wars we should all be engaged in!

I abandoned hope long ago when I learned that excel was turing complete.

The darkness has already consumed me, there is no salvation from this sin.

Worse - pulling data from a web page, then using the power of pure jank to parse this input, and then invoking a sheet of reference string builders to construct formulae and execute them using too damn many @indirects nested into vlookups before finally adding in date aware data reveals, because no excel abomination is complete without trying to parse dates.

Or false regret, either or.

I've done things in excel that are an abomination in the eyes of the divine.

I have absolutely 0 regret.

Dual Boots and File Systems (lemmy.world)
 

For the past decade or so I've mostly had a windows rig for gaming, and a dual boot laptop for travel/work (windows for Microsoft Access/PowerPoint, Ubuntu for everything else).

An odd issue I ran across was drive data format; it caused unending issues with steam/lutris when installing games running under wine/proton to drives formatted for windows (they'd just not run, no error messages till one day I tried to force it via terminal and got an error I could search via Google).

In the end I just partitioned off the drive to a native Linux format and that fixed it (had to dump the contents of the drive to a portable which took a while!), but now I am wondering if there was another alternate workaround?

A few years ago I stumbled onto this, and it provided a nice afternoon feature film. Figured the folks here would enjoy it!

Might and Magic (Merged) (www.celestialheavens.com)
 

Truly a test of patience - this is an excellent modpack that unifies 3 classics together into the way I dreamed of playing them as a kid.

Found it by accident a week ago, and it's been my short nightly unwind (trying to do a solo run because I always wanted to).

Open Source Emulators (github.com)
 

Thought I'd share this list as it contains many emus I've not heard of before and I'd love to hear people's reviews on any folks have tried.

KGen98 - Emulation is DOS (segaretro.org)

So, kgen98 was one of the first genesis emulators, and it runs on dos.

I use it in one of my ICT classes (paired with a sonic 1 rom) on a floppy disk to demonstrate just how heavily compressed and optimised older games were.

It's an oddball that is definitely worth trying out.

A handy tool for developing vn style games for the Gameboy and Gameboy colour.

Great for people starting a game dev journey.

Mednafen is worth a go if you're looking for a lightweight set of emulators to run your dumped carts.

Discworld MUD (discworld.starturtle.net)
 

Thought I'd post this up here since I've not seen it mentioned. For those who want to explore the world of discworld, this is a great MUD.

Very friendly community when I hop on every few months, and with a lot of rich detail from the books.
