I still have one PC with a broken motherboard that I need to fix. I wonder when will I be able to do that.

Both anxiety and loneliness are basically every holiday that involves big family gathering. It was so stressful I had some breakdowns even. Usually I use every excuse I can to avoid that. All I want is some quite time at home, with the few people that I truly love.


I used to have a pine sapling that I grow in a pot, and always used it as a Christmas tree in winter. But one year it died. I tried to grow another after that, but failed twice. Now my confidence of keeping a sapling alive is all gone. Maybe I should make a cardboard one this year. Or maybe just use a different plant that’s not a pine, fir or yew.
Now the only place to search for funny snowman is online…


Thank you very much!
Lots of Coffee, lots of Black Tea.


I’m grateful for GoG’s manual testing process. But the forums often full of users blaming GoG for treating them as second class citizens for always late at push out updates, without seeing their efforts. Sometimes it’s indeed several months later than Steam, like Manor Lords. Sometimes developers do seems to abandon their GoG version altogether, like Hellish Quart. It sometimes feels like a vicious cycle to push users away.


I prefer GoG’s UI too, It’s simpler and easier to navigate. Steam’s main page has become more confusing over the years. It’s another reason for me to prefer buying from GoG. The same goes for Steam’s client, it’s so full of stuff. Sometimes it feels like you have to open a monster to just play a casual game, it somewhat put off your desire to play that mini casual game.


From both, but I prefer GoG. I bought everything I want to keep there. So I can store the installers, and won’t have to redownload each time I install on a new system. But Steam has a smoother Linux experience.

Indeed! Glad to be not on their menu, so can safely enjoy their majesty.


That’s an interesting read, never knew such behaviour has a name! Should have thought others always knew they are the big bad birds. ;)


I went back to blacksmithforums.com just now, to my surprise, they changed their software. Now I can’t find all the posts that I saved about historical researches…
There are still quite many game developers’ forums, but what bothers me a little bit is that sometimes the long living ones periodically lost their past.


I often saw videos of Ravens harass Owls during the day, and occasionally Owls ambush Ravens during the night. Are they saw each other annoying neighbours?


No, I chose a public server with decent connection speed. I was lazy. 👻


I wish more people would move to Matrix with me, so far only my partner did. But that’s good enough.


Have you seen animals drown? In cats specifically, I’ve seen children drowning a newborn kitty. But I was just a child too, it was a raining day, no adults around. It was a horrible way for an animal to die. I still remember the sounds. Didn’t stop them because I was a coward. I didn’t know Australians can kill their cats in such a way casually.


I had the same experience about the mouse problem. Long ago parents caught a mouse with a trap that won’t kill them. With no better idea of what to do with it, they decided to drown it. We watched it drown slowly and painfully. They never do that again.
The motherboard was from over ten years ago, that means that I probably won’t find one that matches the old APU and RAM that’s on it. I already can’t find a matching CPU fan for the APU, also no motherboard with DDR3 around. Part of the HHD is malfunction, but it’s workable. I was considering replacing them altogether someday, but maybe not so much now. The best scenario is I find out what’s wrong with the motherboard and fix it, then just keep using it.
