Black and white as VR

Just because you can extrapolate something from it, doesn't mean you can change the words in the rule. They got the rule wrong, simple as that.

It makes me want to make more of my own stuff. Sewing isn't terribly hard for basic patterns and machines are relatively cheap

I can't stand the competitiveness now. Like, I know I suck and I'll never be good because quick reactions aren't my jam.

I still want to play every now and then, but since I play infrequently I really need something with a very simple mechanic. 30 characters to pick from is overwhelming and I can't learn how to level up and pick a character build during the 10 minute matches and I'm not going to study builds before I play games casually. And I feel bad when I'm trying to learn and I sink the team. Like who wants to be the one that causes a dozen other people to not have fun or get frustrated. Give me counterstrike. You get good guys or bad guys. Then a handful of guns in very specific categories.

I really like RPGs where I can take my time and learn the game. Where mechanics arent too crazy and where there is only one currency in the game.

I feel like it's become too complicated to pick up some games now.

You've got normal gold, then some weird premium gold that you get at a much slower rate. And somehow a third currency that you can only buy.

There are hundreds of build paths, and somehow within the first 5 levels before you even know the game or whats good you have to make a decision and lock yourself out of half of them.

Each character has a gimmicky different way to level up or learn moves.

Then there are mini games, where you have to collect things or others where you now need to level up in a whole different way. And then lock out entire portions of the main game unless you spend a dozen hours playing a mini game that really isn't that fun.

But I digress, I really like single player that at this point are pretty easy to get into and start having fun or experience the story right away.

I always felt this game was begging for a VR remake.

I'm surprised that it didn't become one of the first.

On her computer, why not just use Thunderbird on it? Or even outlook, or whatever she likes. She just needs to pick the software.

On her phone, or even yours, why the stuff with accessing Thunderbird through vnc. Just add the server to whatever mail app on your phones?

If you want a web based thing, roundcube or sogo. But Thunderbird is gonna suck the way you are trying to use it.

Stupid rspamd default config on my server blocked an email confirming an order from rayban I guess because it was the first time it saw an email from them? Couldn't even release it, which annoyed me greatly.

And it also put a confirmation from a hotel into quarantine because the resort didn't have a valid spf record. But at least I could release that one.

I ended up making it much more permissive as a result. But it was super annoying.

Lol as if cutting my lawn is fun. Or that I'd even want to join your party.

It's hypocritical to think that your loud noise when Im trying to sleep is okay but my loud noise when you are trying to sleep isn't.

But this is life living with other people that don't sleep the same hours as you. Sometimes shit is going to inconvenience you, and I'll do what I can to minimize it. But I've got shit I need to get done too and I'm just not going to not do it because it might suck for someone for an hour of their week.

Cool. No loud parties after 9pm then? Or is inconveniencing my sleep okay because you do it at night?

I've got one day a week I can do yard work, and only until 9am until it hits over 90° out. Sorry, buddy. But you might have to deal with some noise. Wish we could all live in perfect harmony. But until then you have to deal with some shit you don't like and I have to deal with some shit I don't like and we'll do our best to not inconvenience each other too bad.

Mindful and considerate, yes. But that doesn't mean I put my entire day on hold for people that don't get up until 10 or 11.

8am is pretty reasonable start to the day for me.

But I also believe that people bitching and saying no loud noises before 10am are being just as selfish as the people who get up and do yardwork at 6am. If someone has a problem or some extraordinary reasons for wanting it to stay quiet later, they can talk to each other and try to find a compromise.

And out of 7 days, if you are only being inconvenienced for a couple hours maybe that's something you should be more tolerant of.
