Sploosh the Water

Vlemmy.net here, loud and clear!

Just did it, I’ll test it out over the coming weeks and see how it works, thanks!

Read my edit, I found it!!! :D

Not that one I don’t think. The text was all in English.

Check my reply a few messages down, those are all the details I can remember about it. I am also pretty sure it was a Gameboy Color game, not advance or OG GameBoy, but I’m not 100% certain.

Right on! I’ll give it a go lol.

1. Interestingly, my spouse found out that the lead vocalist now works as a graphic artist and has done work for some huge groups like Twenty One Pilots and Underoath. I found his webpage and have thought about sending him a message, but I haven’t ever done it, nervous I guess lol. Your prompt might give me the needed “oomph” to actually go through with it tho lol.

2. It’s tough because I barely remember anything specific from it. To make it worse, the game had a saved profile when I got it, (it was second hand.) I only ever played that save file which was already at endgame content, so I don’t even remember what the intro/early game was like. Here’s all I can remember:

The color pallet was pretty bland. It had lots of random encounters and when they happened, there was a quick sequence where the edges of the screen spiraled inwards in a kind of striped, spiral pattern. There were lots of odd creatures, like these kind of rock worms/snakes if I remember correctly? You had a party of 3-4 people and lots of different spells/abilities. I remember I got lost for a long time wandering through some ice caves and kept having to fight random monsters every 10-20 seconds. I can’t really remember the story or lore even. But I’m pretty confident I’d know the music/sounds if I heard them.

I’ll check that out and let you know!

1. Dead Poetic band merch. A little-known post hardcore band from the early 2000’s. I’ve got all of their CDs and some limited press Vinyls, but I would kill for some legit shirts. Years ago I found a sketchy site that claimed to have a handful left, but they were all too small. I wish now I still had bought them anyways, but oh well.

2. A GameBoy game I played as a kid that was some kind of JRPG. It wasn’t a well known one like Chrono, Mother, Final Fantasy Tactics, etc. I have searched through lists online and tried finding screenshots and videos of gameplay, been through several hours of vids, but nothing I’ve found has been it.

3. A stupid video from the earlier days of YouTube called “The Poop.” There is a “The Poop 2” but it’s not the same. My friend and I found it randomly on some late night YouTube binge and cried laughing. It became an inside joke between us for years and we would link the video to each other or sing the music from it for instant laughter. It either got privated or deleted. I’ve spent hours and hours combing through the depths of YT and the internet at large trying to find a copy/reupload, same for my friend, but we’ve never found it.

<Edit> Number 2 is SOLVED!!! Holy crap, I literally just randomly found it. Talking about it here inspired me to try some more Google-fu and I happened across an ebay listing for Quest: Brian’s Journey and the cartridge artwork immediately jogged my memory. Looks like I mis-remembered some details, that makes me even happier that I found it!

Going to be totally NOT downloading a ROM to play on my Steam Deck this evening…I would never…

Oh dang, do you just download and import into OSMand?

Magic Earth. I’ve tried every other major OSM google maps alternative and none have been as good as Magic Earth.

Osmand, Maps.me, Organic maps, and one other I can’t remember now, used them all. I still use Osmand because I’m trying to support the project, but Magic Earth by far has the best address searching, best UI, best directions, and limited but existing live traffic data to help you avoid really bad backups.

Now I’m in the USA, and some folks say some of these apps work better in Europe, that’s fair, but that’s still my point, Magic Earth. Not FOSS, but privacy respecting and uses OSM data. If you wanna break away from Google but aren’t willing to deal with a bunch of jank, Magic Earth is your friend.

Be careful, your child may start to take extremist actions with their follow lefties such as:

1. Organizing or joining a union.
2. Voting for increased taxes on the ultra-wealthy.
3. Marching to protest police militarization and restrictions on women’s rights.
4. Pushing for better pay, hours, and benefits in their workplace.

Lol the French gov can lean down and kiss my big, jiggly, juicy, giant, stanky, sweaty, uBlockOrigin browser extension.

I made the jump several years ago to full Linux and never looked back. I game a bunch, built my own custom PC’s for years. Linux has been great, and gaming on it has become fantastic.

The Steam Deck has helped push it even further, at this point I don’t really check if games run on Linux, I assume they do and 95% of the time I’m right.

The few games that flat out don’t run because of Anti-Cheat, I either wait until they are eventually supported, (Dead by Daylight, cough) or I just give them up. It isn’t worth it to me to sacrifice my freedom, privacy, and consumer rights just to play a certain video game when there are literally 10’s of thousands of games out there that I could play that run perfectly fine on Linux.

Lol ikr.

All for the low low price of…your freedom, privacy, security, and consumer rights.

MS can kiss my piss.

Linux welcomes you :)

Wayland is generally great. The only reason I’ve stuck with X11 is a few random bugs and issues that still aren’t solved in Wayland.

I’m planning on switching over to Wayland fully at the end of this year. Seems like every 6 months I try it and there are less issues than before.

Try them both, plenty of folks have no issues at all running Wayland right from the start, so give it a go and see what happens.
