I loved the storms in BOTW. The rainy atmosphere and the mechanical effects were really well done.

In a similar vein, Majora’s Mask has a fantastic thunderstorm on day 2 of the cycle.

Overall I think this is well written. I agree with @poVoq@slrpnk.net that the section on picking an instance could be improved, since which instance one picks can be rather important, since federation/defederation is dictated by individual instances.

And a minor typo I noticed:

leaving Mastodon out to try

I assume that should be “out to dry”.

I’ve been really happy with Bazzite on my laptop the last few months, although I seldom game these days.

My wife’s Windows laptop stopped working recently and I haven’t been able to repair it, so she’s been gaming on my laptop in the meantime. So far it’s been able to play everything she’s thrown at it without issue.

I’m sad that I haven’t been able to fix her laptop, but I’m kinda happy cause it means there’s no longer any Windows machines in the entire house, lol.

I’ve had this same experience on Linux Mint. I’ll run apt update & apt upgrade and, occasionally, if Firefox is one of the things being updated, new tabs and new pages won’t load and will tell me I need to do a system restart to continue browsing.

I always update manually, so it never happens without me initiating the update first. But sometimes I’m like, “Dangit, didn’t realize this update would require a restart to keep using Firefox.”
