Battlezone 2: Combat Commander. When I started playing that, my brother and I had to face each other and use our laptops' infrared ports.

Oh, interesting. I was not familiar with Bazzite. I have a tiny Dell Optiplex hooked up to my living room TV, I was going to put Linux on there soon anyways. I wonder if that would be a good candidate for Bazzite.

Hah, nope it isn't an Intel. I'm currently fighting with my wife's old workstation that I'm trying to use as a Linux gaming rig. It has an i7 9700 in it, and it just does not want to run under 82C in game. I replaced the old thermal paste, added two (larger) case fans, and moved the HDD to improve airflow. I can try a better low-profile cooler, but I really don't know if that's going to do it either. Short of water cooling, which would mean new case as well, I don't know what to do.

A fellow Steelcase fan. Awesome. What's yours?

I'd just get a chair that's comfortable without any add-ons. I have a Steelcase Leap V2 at home, and a Steelcase Amia at work. I can and have sat in these for 16hrs plus in a day. Tempurpedic also has nice, thick butt cushions in their chairs at a fraction of the price.

I love Moonlight. I just switched over to Linux and haven't gotten my Moonlight host set up yet. But it's on my to-do list. What do you use to stream it? I'm rocking a Powkiddy RGB30. The square screen squishes stuff a little, but it's pretty cool to play Astroneer on something so tiny.

For me, it's a several hour process. I enjoy the cable management, for one thing. I like to handle each component as carefully as if I'm assembling a nuclear bomb. Idk, it's a fun therapeutic process that I like to take my time with.

Well, except for the last one I built. Which is basically just crammed in however I could get stuff to fit. Had to bust out the angle grinder for the graphics card to make it in. Had to relocate the hard drive cage. Cable management is just enough so they aren't rubbing on any fans. I have rubber shims wedged under the Blu-ray drive to prevent rattling in the stupid tool free drive bay. It's a disaster in there. But it usually doesn't get over 70C in game, so I'm not going to mess with it.

Looks like an Amway ad.

That would require making a reddit account. Ew.

That reminds me of a guy at a company party that was making lewd comments about the head of HR. He told the guy next to him he'd f her so hard, sparks would fly out of her vagina. Didn't realize he was talking to her fiancé. Then, proceeded to grope another female employee. When they called him I to the front office the next day, he honestly had no idea he was getting fired. He thought he was getting a promotion.

OK, so we were having a Christmas luncheon at work. HR made the flyer. It said "Holiday" party. Somebody felt that was part of the war on Christmas, and crossed out Holiday and wrote Christmas. That wasn't the issue. Another guy took offense to that guy, and made a counterfeit flyer for the company Cthulu summoning. It said that the human sacrifice would be at 12, lunch at 1 so bring a change of clothes. He posted those all over.

That's a firing.

 

I got this when he sold his house to move to an assisted living facility. It's just been sitting in my garage for a couple years. Busy with the kid and all that. Well, we just got a little child trailer, and I didn't want to pull it with my mountain bike so figured it would be a good time to clean this guy up. New tires and tubes. Cleaned and lubed. Waxed. I thought it was trying hard to look like an old Schwinn, so I thought some nice shiny fenders would help out with that.

I have so many memories of going on rides with him, and of him taking it camping. I always thought it was a nice looking bike. I'll have to show him a picture of it all cleaned up next time I see him, I don't think he's ridden it in at least a decade.

Next on the agenda is new brake pads, and some retro lights. Any other suggestions? Maybe a white saddle seat, or different handlebars? I'm pretty sure its only value is sentimental, so the best suggestions are cheap suggestions. Thanks!
