Didn’t say “I’m not currently running Apple”, just said “I don’t really care for Apple”, therefore you may be using Apple, without caring for it.

You also get 6-lobed security Torx, so you’d need to specify a 5-lobe security Torx-plus bit.

Syndicate Series.

Syndicate (1993) - Groundbreaking isometric real-time tactics

Syndicate Wars (1996) - Award-winning 3D isometric real-time tactics

Syndicate (2012) - some sort of shitty first-person shooter

The “unofficial” “spiritual successor” Satellite Reign (2015) was also a pretty good 3D isometric real-time tactics game

It’s basically doing what “playonlinux” used to do. It separates containers of different Wine setups - so for example you have some old Windows game that only runs in a window at 1024x768, you make one “bottle” to deal with that, but it doesn’t mess up the settings for running a separate “bottle” for a more recent a Windows-only utility program, which requires a fullscreen desktop, and dotnet4.5 and directx etc.

It also gives the setup a GUI, and lots of dropdown menus for setup, which is easier for most people.

There’s a bit of crossover with Lutris - though Lutris works particularly well for games that are already in its database, but it’s sometimes quite difficult to install anything outside of that - I found bottles to be a lot easier for installing fairly obscure or forgotten software - generally old games, obscure games and hardware configuration utilities for A/V equipment, but also sometimes stuff like indie games or other games that aren’t on Steam.

I do use Playonlinux, Lutris and Bottles, as for some reason, sometimes I’ve been able to get a program running in one and not the other. I very rarely install anything on the default “raw” system Wine any more.

“Social media influences”?

Funny way to spell “sex-trafficking slave-owning rapists”

Huh, deleting the original post is annoying as shit. I’d bookmarked it because it had really useful information in it.

Anyway, I’ll repeat my post from the previous one:

I’m sorry you had to go through that, but thankful that you took the time to write that up.

There’s some very valuable info in there, possibly for me, but definitely for someone.

Thanks for going to the trouble of reposting it! :)

Perhaps the year when Max Romeo (or The Prodigy) finally chases the devil out of Earth.

Can I have a 4000 Series Mechanoid, please?

I have enough unplayed and uncompleted games in my Steam account to last until the end of the universe.

I won’t be streaming games in three years.

We definitely get “[Dramatic music plays]”, and everything of that ilk, but I’ve not noticed it for studio-audience-laughter (though it is included if a character laughs).

Bear in mind that me not noticing isn’t the same as it not being there :)

Oh god, they wouldn’t subtitle that, would they?

I just looked at a picture of cocoa pebbles, and I have to say they look delicious - but yeah, likewise, I don’t think I could eat that for breakfast, but it probably makes a lovely dessert :)

I think that’s what American breakfast cereal looks like.

Like most British TV comedy series, it was recorded with a live studio audience, rather than a “laugh track” added later - so there’s probably no versions that exist without it.

There’s a chance that it’s a 5:1 mix rather than stereo, and might have the audience on a different channel to the main dialogue - which would then be fairly easily to remove in something like Audacity.

Otherwise your options are turning the sound off and reading text subtitles, or using an “llm-powered” vocal remover.

It doesn’t matter who it was. I know the song you meant, and now it is stuck in my head all day.

Thankfully it’s a fairly enjoyable riff to spontaneously interrupt me any time I leave my brain free for a few seconds :)

Check if the endeavouros software repository has something called “Input Remapper”.

You can reassign a key or axis to any other key or axis.

I use this for a couple of old games that insist on numpad keys, on my laptop that has no numpad.

“Have you ever noticed how the drains round here constantly get blocked and release sewer smells onto the street”?

“Ooh, there’s that weird smell again… I wonder where that came from?”

“That factory down the road needs to stop venting that stuff into the air”

“Eew, I hate that smell when the air conditioning’s filter breaks”

“*sniff* I guess the farmers are spraying fertiliser again”

“That’s odd - does this hammer smell like farts to you?”

What a great video! I guess that’s why we used to keep a “Master Copy” that was never played, other than when it was being duplicated.

It says it’s an Oak Tree, but I think it’s actually just Michael Craig-Martin’s glass of water.
