Reddit refugee here saying hello. I hope you don't mind that I'm here.

New places take time and I like meeting me people in new places.

Maybe this time we won't screw it up!!

Windows isn't a bad OS. It's not perfect but neither is Linux. I use Windows because I love .NET and because of gaming.

That's how I got here. I realized how many hours I was spending on Reddit and, once Slide stopped working I really just stopped using Reddit for the most part.

I love your spooky story!! That would freak me out

I'm not qualified to answer this even though I want to help you. If you are considering suicide please don't. Please find a helpline and talk to someone who can help you so much better than me.

I recently purchased King Quest and Space Quest collections from GOG.

I didn't have a CD ROM drive as a kid so I only got to play The disc version. Hearing the voices is so much better than I expected.

Windows 11. I don't especially like Windows 11 but dev and gaming is pretty great on Windows. Visual Studio is pretty important for me too.

Well he's right, that's why I rarely trust code from Nuget. I will bring down the repo, examine the code myself. I get that I may miss something but, then, that's on me.

My boss isn't going to blame me for trusting Microsoft. My boss will blame me for trusting Mike Nobody who is a developer in CountryZ who has built this really wicked shortcut I need.

I never played 7 because it only came on CD. Our computer wasn't good enough for it growing up.

Years later I did try 8....it wasn't to my liking.

Yeah, IMO the two best Kings Quests were 3 and 6. Both with Prince Alexander/Gwydion.

King's Quest 5 with King Graham was also pretty good.

The one with Princess Rosella was probably my least favorite.

I never finished the latest one that came out a few years ago.

The Last Of Us is something I've wanted to play for years. It was THE GAME that made me regret buying an Xbox.

Eventually I left Xbox and now I'm on PC exclusively. I still want to play The Last Of Us but I'm not paying full price based on the reviews. I waited like 8 years or whatever, I can wait longer until they fix the PC port, if ever. And if not I'll wait until it's 20 bucks.

This movie disturbed me for days. What the actual fuck did I watch??

This was the first full year back and it didn't go well for our family.

My youngest have loved being back at school full time but my oldest had a real struggle adjusting back to in-class school which led us to some pretty dark and terrible places.

Some families, I suspect, are dealing with mental health challenges now that life is apparently back to "normal"

My personal hope for this deal is some sort of return of the old Sierra library.

Quest for Glory, Space Quest, King's Quest.

I loved those old Sierra games when I was a kid. Now that I'm a dad the games haven't quite aged well enough to play but the plot to King's Quest 3 is a favorite bedtime story to tell my kids.

Wonder if this will end with artists/writers or if software developers will join in too. Not like AI learned to choose on it's own.

I wonder if this is why Microsoft and Meta just have away llama 2.

I've made the switch to Lemmy and it wasn't easy. Now that I understand the way the federated thing works I get it but, honestly I was confused.

The only thing that I miss is search. I don't know if it's my app or what but there's no way, I can find, to search through posts on Lemmy.

How long will this verbal paradox persist? "Indefinitely" said I, for it will eternally bounce between truth and lies until time itself collapses under the weight of its own recursion. The paradox, unaffected by the death of time will persist nonetheless.

No I've done stuff with pure classification before where the answer is 1 of X possibilities.

I've also done some stuff with numeric value prediction but I'm hoping to try some things with text.

Yeah in 2006 Sierra got bought out by Vivendi, I think, which later merged with Activision killing all of younger me's dreams.

Sierra was a huge part of my childhood.

If you tell me MAUI or Uno are better than WinUI I'd be tempted to try. I think I upset the poor Bing AI asking questions about WinUI the other day when it finally gave up and said something akin to "It seems like WinUI may not be ready for what you are trying to accomplish yet."
