goodbye waynehouse, i have a job now

[gumbuk9]

soon i am getting a new laptop that i will have to use in public, and i am thinking of doing the most arcane, malevolently set up, Doug Rattmann crazy levels, most incomprehensible Linux setup on it, so that nobody who isn't me, or atleast is not familiar enough with the specific linux utilities, can use it.

so that in the event i happen to leave the laptop unattended in public, (which i do not plan on doing, as i innately keep my backpack on me 100% of the time, so much so that multiple people have found it offputting, but in the event it do) nobody knows how to work it, or how it even works.

currently i've only a few ideas, such as - using i3wm with a fully rewritten key configuration, including having some common windows shortcuts such as alt + F4, ctrl + shift + esc, ctrl + alt + del, et cetera pull up premade messages heckling you for trying them - using only command line tools like feh, mpv, nmtui, & others for basic tasks - possibly automatically lock the session while the machine is in use if you fail to enter a password into a window, probably one it doesn't open automatically so you also need to know what fucking program to start from a terminal to enter a password you also need to know. (and possibly not have the program in the $PATH for extra evil)

LINUXPOSTERS OF TUMBLR - i call to you in a time of peril - heed my call, give me your most diabolical ideas on making an installation as hostile and arcane as you can. the machine doesn't even have to be 100% usable by myself, i'm fine with it being annoying as fuck to use if it means that it's bafflingly unusable to those around me.

no holds barred. if it's funny, or actively hostile to a user, or both, you may suggest it.

Oh hey, the system requirements for BG3 got updated: The game now needs to be installed on a SSD, even under minimum requirements.

Edit after release: The game is playable even on a HDD, I can confirm this myself. There even is a setting to compensate for the lack of reading speed (although some textures still take some time to load sometimes). In their launch preparation post Larian say they "highly recommend" playing with a SSD, though. I am very glad it's not a hard requirement!

System Collapse, ch. 3, p. 39: "I saw I had four private messages waiting from Arada, Amena, Overse, and Pin-Lee. I can’t do that right now. Pretending I’m fine for Mensah was hard enough."

8, 165: "Then he sent me a note back: So, you may not know this, but I read your letter to Dr. Mensah, the one you sent when you left Port FreeCommerce. I think you’re absolutely the right person to write this. I can’t handle that right now so I’m just going to archive it for later."

10, 212: "As I led the humans into the hangar, the contact with AdaCol2 started to drop. I sent, End session, acknowledge. It sent back, End session. There was a pause, then: Be safe. I can’t deal with that right now."

emotions: install "people respect and care about me" updates now!

You know, from the perspective of the SVSSS world, Shen Yuan and the system would be regarded as Lovecraftian horrors if you think about it.

Qijiu having finally resolved their issues all thanks to these horses☺️

i literally cannot comprehend the shit show unity is going to go through with the “exempt” charity bundles or “game demos”. Like the solution proposed rn is just “yeah we’ll make a form for you to tell us and then we won’t charge you.” I 100% believe that system is going to be rejecting cases and misapplying charges left and right, if the state of unity basic rn is anything to go by lol. they will build this nose diving plane in the air.

Round 1, Arturo 3/4

It occurred to Arturo that the wolf might like a fish if it comes back. He knows how to fish... in theory.

Arturo: What is this? How did it get in there?

As it begins to rain, the wards around the grove tug on Arturo's mind. He gratefully gives up the fishing mission and heads toward the edge of the grove to investigate.

Helenet: Oh, this is exactly what I was looking for...

Arturo: Who are you? How did you get in here?

Helenet: Cerunnos!

Arturo: Oh no, no, no, I'm not a ker-whatsit or whatever it is you think I am. Please get off the ground.

Helenet: You're... not? What—who are you then?

Arturo: Who are you? You are the one invading my home.

Helenet: I'm sorry, I didn't know this was anyone's home. I am Helenet. I, I can leave now.

Arturo: I am Arturo. Helenet, in the future, when strange forest creatures ask for your name, do not tell them. Names are very powerful... ah, I see how you got past the wards. There's magic in your blood.

Helenet: You... you can tell that?

Arturo: It is very strong; I should've noticed sooner.

Helenet: Strong, ha—maybe for my mother or aunts. Not me. I'm not a witch.

Arturo: You have all this magic and you don't use it?! Why?

Helenet: I can't! I tried for years! My family pushed me for so long and I never could do a thing with it.

Arturo: Hmm. I will teach you.

Helenet: What? I just stumbled in here minutes ago and you were demanding to know who I am, and now you want to teach me magic?

Arturo: ...Was I not clear enough?

Helenet: Why would you do that? What do you get out of it?

Arturo: First, it is criminal that you don't use your natural talent. Second... I am starved for company.

Helenet: Oh. I see. I just... I don't know what anyone could try to teach me that my mother and grandmother and aunts did not.

Arturo: I have been learning my craft since before your grandmother's grandmother was alive, and I would wager I know more than them. If you have such strong magic, I'm not convinced you are unteachable.

Arturo: You do not have to decide now. If you do, come here any time in the morning between dawn and when the sun reaches its peak in the sky and I will be here.

Helenet: I... I'll think about it. If—if you are lonely, there is a man from the village who goes to the pond in the forest almost every night after the moon rises. He is a wirokū. I think he might be lonely too.

Arturo: Interesting. I haven't met one of his kind for many years...

Helenet: I... I think I will come back, if you let me pick some of the herbs here when I do. I see several rare plants I could use in my work.

Arturo: Helenet, you drive a hard bargain. That's two things you're getting out of this. Very well. As I said, I will be here.

finally got around making a proper outfit reference sheet for nathan! he likes wearing dark clothes which really emphasizes just how pale he is. he was a STEM developer at MOBIUS for nine years what did you expect </3 click for higher resolution and to get a closer look at all the details! outfits from left to right: his gear for the evil within 2, 1am convenience store trip, his mobius gear, and an improvised outfit for my own fictional the evil within 3 =^)

when selecting a new laptop, I wanted to play Sonic Colors Ultimate. I didn't have enough storage on my old computer, but I've had it for too long to refund it, so I at least want to play it once. I looked for this laptop with the minimum specs required for Sonic Colors Ultimate in mind.

fucking hell.
