I love KDE's wobbly windows and transparencies. I remember when you had to add Compiz/Beryl to your system to access those effects. And they were very glitchy. Now they're pretty much standard.

Hallmark Christmas movie time at my GF’s house. Her twin sister is over and they overruled my Star Trek choices.

This is awesome! Insaniquarium Deluxe. A freakin' old school PopCap game - I found all of 'em on Steam. I still have the CD installer for most of them, this one included -- bought them at Walmart back in the 2000s. BUT... my mini PC didn't come with a CD/DVD drive. Oh well. 🤷

My openSUSE install is running the 1996 version of Tomb Raider without any extra tweaks. Yep, that's "tomb.exe" running in DOSbox. I got it during a Steam sale. And, you know, getting these old 3dfx games running on modern hardware can be a chore in Windows 11. But it's a breeze in Proton. I did have some issues getting OBS Studio to record faster than 1 frame per second. But it was because it defaulted to a software mode and I just didn't catch it. At least Gemini is good for something other than cool wallpaper and crazy fan fiction.

Well, openSUSE has been great. Everything has worked straight up without any tweaking. Even the video's in Opera GX works without needing to move around any video codecs. This is a first for me!

Happy Halloween!

I decided to ditch Ubuntu and return to my roots. openSUSE!

That's the closet that I've got to a perfect Hardpoint match. #cod #bo2 #PS5

ESPN today. NBA app the other day. Prime Video for next game. And then maybe Peacock? At least my Roku has them all. @okcthunder

On the hunt for a enemy death machine in BO2. And it ended up being my last kill too. Woot!

I will never get tired of Stray. 😺

Rainbow Cotton on my PS5. I grew up playing shumps, but you can't tell by watching me play this one. But I never was any good at these 3D versions.

PvZ: Garden Warfare is about the most addictive FPS that I've ever played. I just wish that more people played it.

Wasting time on CoD Black Ops 2. I thought that I was going to lose this match. But I came back big on the 2nd round to win the match. 🫡

Yep. I fired up Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy on my PS5. And I'm cheating with the rewind feature so I can reach that thingy-a-ma-jig. And it worked too! 😝

Dammit. I couldn't remember how to drop a lighting bomb in Steel Empire with the PS5 controller. I was punching everything before I finally found it. Thank God for that rewind function.

I remember trying to describe to my online friends exactly what I was seeing on my new Dreamcast in '99. And they were always like, "Yeah. Yeah. The PS2 is going to look better, so I'll wait for it." But only the OG Xbox was able to match that look - which is what this is running on (via emulation on my Series S). The PS2 never came close to those visuals. I often wonder if we had YouTube back in 1999, would the Dreamcast's sales have been bigger? I bet that would have blown the roof off of Sega.

My nephew had his birthday today. #Xbox
