  • I really enjoyed the game, but… I did lose despite having fully solved the case and got a confession. Maida told me it was okay to do, but it wasn’t?

    spoiler

    Me: likewise, you’re much too kind. Am I okay to formally accuse ___?

    SERGEANT MAIDA VALE: Absolutely, Inspector. We have ___ confession, but it’s always stronger to have additional evidence to support the charge. With this new information linking ___ and ___, and the suspicious timing of their phone call, we can confidently proceed with formally accusing ___ of theft. It strengthens our case against all three of them.

    OH NO! You’ve accused someone without proper evidence or a confession. You’re terrible at your job. YOU’RE PART OF THE PROBLEM, YOU LOSE!



  • This was funnily what got me considering binning my account, (then Cambridge Analytica being in the news made it a thing I went through with).

    I discovered that filtering out sponsored, friends-of-friends, shared posts, and sorting by most recent, there were 3 posts maximum each day written by someone I know! :) It made me realise how manipulative the site was, how frequently I “checked the fridge”, and how little I might actually miss. :)

    Not the aims of fbpurity, but damn I’m happier since binning facebook :)




  • I just switched over to Mint from Windows 10 a month ago, and besides from setting up my quirky USB audio for music making, I was astonished as I rarely needed to look anything up. :)

    Using DuckDuckGo helped I think, but presently, most of my questions I searched came back with forums with real people talking, which was lovely.

    I remember trying this in 2010 and… nope, everything was a project, command lines everywhere, and it was a pig. I was very impressed this time, everything quietly worked. :) Even every steam game I threw at it, even ruddy GTA San Andreas, which never ran for me on Window 10!

    The searches/sticking points I looked up were

    • what the heck am I doing with partitions. (eventually nuked windows anyway)
    • how do I get my specific USB audio card thingy to work.*
    • how to mod fallout new vegas** (gave up and reinstalled on a windows pc, too many .exes)
    • how to auto-mount a second hard drive for steam so I don’t have to click the disk every time I boot.

    *there was actually a human-made guide for my usb audio when I searched on DuckDuckGo, which was made by an utter saint of a person!

    ** it ran fine, but I was in the middle of a save, so wanted to keep my mod loadout :)
