Lowbo | 就是萝卜 @lowbo.io · Sep 19

Hello again! It's time for a new pinned post. I am between jobs, so I've set up a portfolio website and blog here:

If anything I've ever said here or elsewhere has intrigued you, I'd love suggestions for topics. I do better with a prompt. Hope to see you soon!

a large percentage of my FFXIV playtime is either idling in the ishgard housing area or running around in circles on my fat cat while chatting in discord

there are many good reasons not to have VO, but for me one prime thing overshadows everything, which is having VO slows down iteration speed. and as time goes on I more and more think that "iterations/[time period]" is one of, if not THE most important variable to optimize for

I saw some folks thinking that voice acting in games was objectively good, always a positive. "What kind of game doesn't have voice acting in 2025?!" sorta thing

I say that there are positive reasons why one would choose NOT to have VO.

How many design justifications we can come up with?

Ironically the entire *reason* i'm backing everything up is because I'm gonna try switching this computer to Linux, lol

Lowbo | 就是萝卜 @lowbo.io · 1d

I declined too but eventually I figured "well it's a backup service, it's my laptop with no sensitive information, what could possibly go wrong" LITTLE DID I KNOW!

i love sports so much

Lowbo | 就是萝卜 @lowbo.io · 1d

Is it a regular baseball thing that I see consecutive posts on my TL from fans of opposing teams interpreting the exact same things as omens of doom for the team they support

TIL that when Microsoft OneDrive says its "backing up" your files and data what it really means is "copying them into the cloud and then DELETING THE LOCAL FILES"

This comic really captures the ADHD experience

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 2d

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are walking. Blue listens intently as Green goes on talking as he talks, leading the way.
Green: Once we get home, I'll read a book, weave two baskets, re-arrange the pantry, learn esperanto-

Blue interrupts Green, who turns to listen.
Blue: That's quite a list. Are you sure you're being completely realistic?

Green takes a momentary pause from being cartoonish, being now depicted as a painstakingly detailed and shaded painting of a fox, with fur texture, whiskers and all.
Extremely realistic Green: Of course.

Returning back to normal, Green keeps walking. Blue follows, looking at Green with suspicion.
Blue: How long did it take you to draw that gag?
Green: A lot longer than I am willing to admit.

Microsoft hates computers AND everyone who uses them, whereas Apple only hates computers, and Linux only hates the people who use them. In this essay I will

Right, I’ve got a laptop that I can back up to an external HD and just try shit out with. My initial research suggested Bazzite as a distro.

Lowbo | 就是萝卜 @lowbo.io · 2d

Oh, thank you so much! I did do a bit of distro research and Bazzite was the one most appealing to me, most because of games. Does this same advice apply to that one?
