Yeah, get ones that are scrub-esq. I don't wear them, but my gal used to all the time and gals were jealous of her pockets.

Ty, and thanks for making this in general!

What a little cutie! Who's the off-screen buddy?

Idk what a Pi Zero 1 could play, but that sounds well enough for a good time.

I can't imagine playing any VisNovels would be difficult, as those I have played from time to time. I am pretty much talking games which require graphics cards. The only Japanese title I have not had trouble with to be honest is Soul Hackers 2. Which people panned, so I don't think people are clamoring to play it. I have had issues playing games from other countries of origin, but have consistently had issues playing Japanese games to the point of noting it. I just emulate instead.

What psych-horror VNs do you play? I love horror and like VNs.

Hatoful I'd say is potato-esq but I haven't played it in a long time so idk how it runs on Linux. I think VisNovels would all be pretty easy to run. I get the font issues. I think often it's some weird resolution issue, maybe with the videos or animations or something. I know it's not just me, as all the titles I see (like No More Heroes) are just plagued with people claiming they crash. Soul Hackers 2, I got working. Yaiba crashed like crazy. Neo Atlas was a crash-a-thon. Some other ones that I had hanging around crashed. I saw consistently it was Japanese games crashing out. I figured there had to be some issue with support, so I gave up. I like older games anyways.

p.s. - Nvidia, partners old gaming laptop. Three series, if that's how you note it =P! Either way, I don't like laptops, but I hate waste more. Would rather have Ryzen, and a desktop.

  • Use sunscreen if you need it, skin-cancer isn't sexy
  • Protect those eyeballs, seriously
  • ORT: Nothing sexier than staying hydrated
  • You don't need to stay outside, unless you need to stay outside, in which case see above
  • Protect your hair, if you have it - or your head, if you don't. Certain materials breathe, and others trap heat.
  • Pay attention to your body. I once bombed out from heat during an activity, and didn't realize until I was already sick. You don't need exuberance in heat, you can just chill.

I am not fashionable anymore, so I really don't have much else to say. I used to be. I have found holding subtle confidence, you could wear just about anything and still look fine. The power is inside you, and the accessories are just an extension of that eye.

Just a heads up, if you play a lot of Japanese games. I have had incredible trouble playing pretty much any Japanese game that isn't potato-esq since switching to Linux. I figured I'd get that out there. I gave up on playing them, which stinks because there are some very interesting games out there to play. If I can emulate, I do. But anything from Steam would just crash, within 10-20 minutes of playing them.

What does the little NES guy play?

Those little bits of white are killing me! So cute!

Anything here? Not sure, don't have an Android anymore. 10/10 would GraphineOS if I was in the market for a new phone however.

I don't have any suggestions for titles, but I am a geek for a certain type of pet. I found a couple of books about them, and basically it was just by typing in [animal] + [fiction book] into Amazon. This was years back, and idk if it'll help but it's fun to read some little adventure books.
