I have a laptop that I dual boot on, I'll have to try a few games on it. The biggest thing for me is if MusicBee will work, because I've been using it for almost ten years and want to keep using it.

MS can pry Windows 10 out of my cold, dead hands. I'll switch to Linux before Win11 and I don't particularly want to do that either.

The only person who could meaningfully finger-wag was Dikembe, and he died last year.

You don't think the peaceful protests were backed by the threat of union violence that had been regular up until the New Deal?

The media tried so hard to make people hate Luigi in December and it didn't work because everyone knows insurance companies murder for profit. Voting hasn't helped, the media is owned by oligarchs, most social media is too, and if you protest you either get ignored or beaten up by the cops.

It's not my first choice of action even now, but probably-Luigi killed a guy who was otherwise untouchable and the oligarchs flipped their shit. Abraham Lincoln's death gimped Reconstruction, MLK's death hurt the civil rights movement (and spurred nationwide riots causing passage of another civil rights act), Panthers leadership hurt their organization too.

I guess one of the morans finally got a brain.

We have a 40-hour work week because unions literally fought for it. I'd guess most people don't want more violence but working through the system was pretty impossible even before fascists took complete control last month.

I don't know why I forgot to enable Proton, thank you for the reminder.

That's so dumb I can't believe I missed it, thank you. It's not the most stable game even on Windows, but I'll have to give it a try.

MusicBee not working on Linux is maybe the biggest thing holding me back. I want my play counts preserved, damnit. Also Age of Empires 2 DE doesn't seem to even have a Proton option.

I didn't realize Weird Al's line about "me too'ing like some brain-dead AOL'er" was referencing Eternal September, he would make that reference.

Yeah, that's fair. I usually don't talk gun politics anyway because of all the insurmountable issues the US faces, that's probably the most insurmountable.
