Episcopalian, socialist, dad. I like trains, bicycles, video games, and sharing. In a former life I did sound design for video games, but now I have a dumb email job with health insurance. Don't tell my boss when you see that I'm not working. Living in WA
I'm currently playing through 1000xResist, which is a brilliant video game with a story that explores the cyclical nature of history. Seems timely

There have been shortages for both flu and covid vaccines for really little kids in my area. It's been frustrating to get it, with several calls and last minute cancellations. But we did it!

I don't understand any parent who isn't happy to (finally) get their kids vaccinated

I miss the idle thumbs podcast

Yeah! I've learned recently that green teas are usually low on tanins, whereas black teas (and wines) are usually higher. That seems to upset my stomach occassionally, but I never have that probably with green teas. Sencha is my favorite.

I'm sorry to hear that, but I remember the height of gg, and it was awful.

I remember being on game forums c. 2003-06, and seeing "blue skies in games" in forum signatures as a backlash to that.

I've played Fields of Mistria and it's good farming sim. Also, it's important to note that literally all the characters are HOT

Maybe Paradise Killer? Not a dating sim, but there's some romance and I think the characters would be appealing. I loved it

There's a simple little project in Godot! I really need to work on my video recording process, but here's the dragon riding in the balloon through a forest.

House.
Joint effort, drawn by my wife and 3 year old.

3 year old did the roof, which I think is pretty good!

A monster. He apparently tries to eat the hot air balloon.
Drawn by my 3 year old.

The green guy is the monster (disregard the blue, that is something else)

In this sketch, the monster has apparently eaten the balloon (which is depicted as being inside the monster)

Our hero, the dragon in the hot air ballon.
Drawn by my wife. I brought it into Krita and colored it today.
Original concept by my 3 year old

What Linux distros are people using these days? And what distro would you suggest to a person who don't view computers as a hobby?

Gaming on Linux is getting really good with ProtonDB (through Steam). I don't miss Windows at all for gaming, personally

I won't pretend that everything "just works." I have to tinker a little bit, but it's usually solved with a simple web search. But that's just as true on Windows, imo

I'm boring and use Linux Ubuntu. It's at least as low friction as Windows. I haven't used macOS in a decade, so can't really compare
