(she/they)

Hi! You can call me Tadpole. I enjoy maps/geography, sci-fi and speculative fiction, classic and sports cars and motorsports, and retro and retrofuturistic technology from the 70s-90s. Also a racing, role-playing, indie and retro video game connossieur.

I am a certified lurker.

  • Linux back at 4.04% on the Desktop. Windows went below 73%

  • I get what you mean. I see a decent chunk of often more tech-proficient Linux users putting down Linux Mint, and it saddens me because even though I don't use Mint anymore, it was still the first distro I properly daily-drove and I still consider it an amazing system for people who are new to Linux.

    I'm very glad you've been having a good experience with Mint!

  • Elon Musk's SpaceX contracted to destroy retired space station - BBC News

    Jump

  • It makes me really sad that the space station is going to be destroyed since I always really liked it, but the sheer amount of fuel needed to move it to a stable position makes me (begrudgingly) understand why they're going to do it...

  • Honestly, you don't have to worry about what others say, you should use what works best for you. Personally I find them to be nice and comfortable to use, myself 😅

  • This was a surprisingly high effort shitpost

    Jump

  • How did you make it usable? I personally love restoring and making use out of severely-underpowered hardware and still have an old netbook lying around, so I'm curious to hear what you did with yours :o

  • My opinion on Mastodon after 2 weeks...

  • I follow some meme accounts, if you'd be interested:

    These aren't meme accounts per se, but their "

    of the day" posts are still neat to me:

    I hope this can be of use to help lighten up your Mastodon experience. 😅

  • God, I feel this in my bones. I always hated the scumbags who acted this way so much. I'm really glad I'm not the only one...

  • Yesssss!! I love finding fellow Hypnospace fans out in the wild!

    I've been on a frenzy making multiple mods for it earlier this year, I need to get back to working on a big overhaul mod I'd started with some people...

  • Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door quite a lot. Also getting back into Minecraft and Euro Truck SImulator 2. And of course, Cassette Beasts.

  • What is skibidi and why is this word everywhere? [Serious]

    Jump

  • That's what I've been thinking, too. As a zoomer/zillennial who doesn't follow it, from what I've gathered Skibidi Toilet seems to be just Gen Alpha's equivalent of YouTube Poops that Milllennials loved and GMod animation shitposts Zoomers enjoyed.

    Considering I loved both of these while growing up, and still like rewatching them from time to time for nostalgia's sake, it'd be hypocritical of me to hate skibidi toilet 😅

  • What are your must-have programs?

  • Yeah, I get you :c

  • I use CoreCtrl to fix my GPU's atrocious fan curve, which is a necessity since normally it overheats to high hell. With CoreCtrl, I have a nice fan curve that makes my GPU rarely, if ever, run hotter than 70°C.

  • So happy to play the new Paper Daisy spinoff game that released today for the Playstation 2

    Jump

  • So far I haven't ran into any, but I haven't had the time to fully re-play the game yet. Any issues that may occur would be either some dialogue that hasn't been properly replaced, or a crash when you enter specific locations.

    I've done my best to find all the wrongly-formatted text files that were causing crashes earlier, but it's possible I might've overlooked some since, frankly, TTYD has a LOT of dialogue to sift through. Just be sure to save regularly in case there is a crash.

    Jump

  • It's the Paper Daisy HD mod!

    I also made a text mod of my own for it that covers some stuff that was overlooked as well as make it compatible with the TTYD+ mod, which I really like.
