I've never completed the main quest

I've recently decided to get all the achievements for Skyrim which led to me finally completing the main quest (which I felt was shorter than many of the side missions like the college etc) and been enjoying it massively. It gives a bit of direction to a game where there's also something else to be achieved.

What are you currently reading?

I'm currently reading I Robot by Isaac Asimov, it's very well written and I'm finding the dichotomy between such an old view of what the future may be like with the futuristic themes quite amusing.

Would definitely recommend any sci-fi fans give it a shot. It's not nearly at the same scale as our modern day space operas but it's really quite interesting so far.

Linux Mint 21.2 “Victoria” Cinnamon released!

Just installed this yesterday as a dual-boot. For the most part I'm enjoying it so far, had a few issues before I updated the kernel including no sound but managed to fix that.

Now the only annoyance is that I remote into a Windows 10 work Pc on a multi-nonitor setup, unfortunately Remmina just doesn't handle zoom on a single display well at all and scales every monitor, so have had to start trying to get used to a lower zoom level on my bigger monitor.

TemTem Patch 1.4 Launches with Season 4 and Pride Event

I found the online functionality to be really frustrating. Unless you're online it'll kick you out, you then need to wait to reconnect. Also being so used to Pokémon I found the typings to be confusing and not particularly obvious from the look of the TemTems what types they may be.

This all sounds rather negative but I do think it's quite well made overall, just not my cup of tea.

Why do I get different results when searching for communities on two different instances?

Reply in thread

Yeah I can appreciate the goal, and I can deal with many of the minor technical issues but this seems like a killer for me personally. The small community is already massively segmented due to the model, and I don't see it getting better if each new person that joins up is on their own random instance and there's no common way to cross them all and to dedupe magazines.

But anyway I don't want to be too negative as I realise this is all fairly new but think I'll leave my account active so I can try this again in a while but it's not for me yet.

Looking to fill that void of time after leaving Reddit? Check out Torn.

I personally love Torn and play it daily and have done for years. If you want something similar I've been trying to put my own spin on things with Cartel Empire which I've been developing for about 2 years as a side-project.

We've got a small but active community that's constantly growing and I'd love to have more people on the Discord as I try to include the community in as much if the development as I can.
