Ooo, another Ubisoft game I can not spend my money on. Always enjoy a chance to financially give them as much of a middle finger as I can

Maybe it's just been a while for me but what part was this? I dont remember a section like that off the top of my head.

Tbf i think it's because he's at the apex of his jump (like 6in off the ground lol) so the gut kind of shifted up as he came back down. Doesn't make the image any less absurd, but it came to mind when I didn't even recognize the dude. I think the same thing is happening to his jowls in the photo. Either way the man-child is ridiculous. And so is the other one.

It can take some getting used to, but I can shave in under 30 seconds once the lather is on my face. I don't shave everything, just lining up the beard line, but a full face shave would take about a minute and a half tops. Pulling the skin taut with your off hand helps. Play around with how you hold it too. I typically fold my handle almost all the way around so I can control the tilt with more precision. Go slow until you naturally go fast. You'll naturally speed up with practice.

The "Community" tab on a game in your library or the store page, I forget which. It's usually filled with guides, art, highlights, and a heavy dose of shiposting (often in the form of fake guides). Have not encountered posts OP is referring to, but I don't really go on there much.

Made the switch to Tidal, and I only have a couple nitpicks: no console app and it does this weird thing on desktop where it plays a split second of paused music when other apps or windows are opened. They're small things though, and I'm happy to be supporting artists more.

They have left-hand hardware that has a thumb analog stick and a bunch of mapable keys. Problem is getting games to use "controller" functions like analog sticks and mouse functions at the same time. I haven't tried it myself, but apparently most games don't have a way to recognize and use that as a keyboard function

Not the person you replied to, but I was the same way until I realized all my favorite artists were either dying or retiring and chances to ever see them were slipping away, and quickly. I just go to whatever shows I can and just be present in the moment. Even small local shows. I've found a bunch of cool artists by going to shows with artists I don't even know.

Like, imagine having the opportunity to see a Zeppelin show in their prime, then imagine thinking about going, then saying "meh." I couldn't even comprehend the regret I would feel passing something like that up. And it circles back to not knowing you're in the "good old days" until they're already past. I just don't want to look back at missed opportunities and kick myself for the rest of my life.

Like they said, it's not for everyone, especially not these days. Ticketmaster is a plague, most shows are ridiculously overpriced with food and drink to match, and way too many people are focused on taking a video they'll never watch. But if things only get worse, I'm going to go down swinging and keep going to shows until doing so would financially break me.

Fun game. I don't usually go in for card games, so I ignored the hype, but this is a good one. Got to ante 4 a few times over the last couple of hours before rng killed me. I'm sure I'll get my money's worth out of this one

I have a similar line of thinking. I'm a musician, so if I was filthy rich I might want to donate money to a school's music department. If the school is one fiscal entity, I would have to put that as a stipulation to ensure they gave the money to that department, not divert it to something overfunded or just padding the board's pocket as bonuses for "a job well done"

Ths might be a silly question, but asking those is how i learn sometimes. I'm trying to install my first Linux distro to set up a Plex server and one of the few things I know is you need a wired internet connection. My intended server location is across the house from my router, and there isnt much room there to set up temporarily. It would be possible, just a removed and a half. Is it instead possible to connect my SSD via SATA to USB to a laptop, install Ubuntu and wireless adapter drivers on it while connected to ethernet, then put the SSD in the server to boot? Or do I need to do all this through my intended setup?

Thanks for the help, just trying to make my first Linux install as painless as possible.

EDIT: Thank you all for your responses, I'm going to respond as I can since I'm at work. I The number one thing I learned is that I need to do more research. I recognize only a handful of these acronyms lol
