I'm just a Greek American, but I would assume it's mostly a cultural thing more than an actual belief in God. I was an ordained alter boy and my church was kind of a "training" congregation for years before we got a permanent priest. A lot of the guys who came through used the seminary as a way to get out of whatever Balkan backwater they grew up in.

If you're on the same network I would just use Filezilla ftp client. Download it on both devices and you can transfer whatever between them.

Are you planning on keeping the old laptop? If it's not a proprietary drive type you could probably just take it out and pop it into your new computer. Most newer laptops can support two
SSD. If they're both M.2 drives you wouldn't even need a new cable, just a screwdriver.

I beat it for the first time over the pandemic and was totally blown away, instantly one of my favorite games of all time.

The soundtrack is fucking amazing, there's the youTube channel Lavos with endless mixes of it. Corridors of time never gets old.

Half-life was based off a modified Quake engine. So ya, it sorta helped create Valve and Steam.

A dedicated server + large cloud service to host my own Plex server for my family and friends.

On the one hand Dame is the coolest guy in Portland and it would suck to see him go.

On the other hand I live within walking distance of the Moda Center and $5 tickets close enough to air my grievances directly to the team rocks.

I feel more like we're experiencing a new epoch of the internet and society really. It's not just reddit changing it's API, it seems that everything is changing around us and reddit is just one facet of that. The pandemic ending, the rise of AI, new threats of war, fentanyl cheaper than soda, and unprecedented corporate greed are creating a world that we haven't seen before and it's strange for everyone.

He's polling worse than fucking RFK jr, he stands no chance. YoUr'Re AlL JuSt SiTtInG tHeRe! We're more than a year away from the general election, which he will never make it to because there are months of primaries before where Trump will assuredly win.

Decades? Did they even have gaming laptops in 2003?

You can play nearly anything through proton by adding the game's .exe as a non steam game. ProtonDB is a valuable resource.. You can install Mint alongside windows anyway and just boot winders for the games that don't run on Linux.

Desktops are better in almost every aspect by a longshot. They're fully upgradable, can adequately cool the components, and deliver like twice as much power to the processors.
