I’ve been a bit obsessed with one of Cleopatra’s arias from Handel’s Giulio Cesare, Se pietà di me non senti. She’s bummed that she thinks her brother is going to have her killed.

Se pietà di me non senti giusto ciel io morirò.

Tu da’ pace a’ miei tormenti o quest’alma spirerò.

Just heaven, if you feel no pity for me, I shall die.

I shall give up the ghost if you do not pacify my torment

I don’t see why you should put your face in his video if he isn’t sharing the money. It sounds like he wants free labor to me.

If you have more than one computer or like to play with it docked.

I’m going over to hang out with my sister, we’re ordering Indian food.

I went to a trade school to be an automotive tech, and they had a job fair near the end of the program where all of the local dealerships came out to give out information and set up interviews.

I came out of the program with an entry level hourly position as a technician at the BMW dealership and worked with a master tech until I was ready to start flagging hours.

Speaking as someone from the USA, so there’s probably a bit of a cultural difference, but I’d say it’s the most likely way to secure a decent job in the industry. Otherwise, you could likely get a job busting down tires and doing oil changes at a local shop. You’ll be getting experience that way, but what you learn will be very dependent on the individual shop. It’s a much cheaper alternative, though (at least in the US).

Get out into nature. Take frequent walks.

Be social, even if you don’t want to in the moment.

Have a goal to work towards that doesn’t have anything to do with employment (learn to draw, or play piano, or cook).

Be patient with yourself and others. It’s rough out there.

It used to be that they’d put baseball games on broadcast TV.

Now you basically need a subscription to watch the team in my area. It’s like they don’t want anyone to see the games.

Thermal mask against FPV drones.

And a cool sword, that’d be sick.

I’d say the Coen brothers are the most consistently good filmmakers.

There’s absolute bangers like Fargo and True Grit. Even their lesser known ones like The Ladykillers and Hail Caesar are worth a watch.

There’s O Brother Where Art Thou, and Barton Fink, which are their most underrated in my opinion.

I don’t think they put out a single stinker, and most are A or A+.

Irish and Caribbean. The accents sound musical.

I cut down construction paper to use as the front and back covers (I usually print a front cover, but the back is black), then use a sheet of transparency film on each side to protect the whole thing and give it a more finished look.

Edit: example

A comb binder for bookmaking.

I print off a lot of RPG books and music that would otherwise cost a fortune. Now it’s basically the cost of toner and paper.

I like having an e-reader for most stuff, but some things are just better as physical objects that can be marked up and tabbed.

I believe they reverted the power-up on Bluetooth activation (for LCD models) previously, but they reimplemented it in a recent patch.

It seems to be even from the Steam menu.

Thanks for the advice.

I looked around for ways to turn it off, but I might have just missed it. I appreciate the help.

It seems fine, no issues.

Good point, I should have added that info up front.

I’m running stock SteamOS, and it’s an early LCD model. It even happens when I’m home alone.

Abiotic Factor is an interesting crafting game that takes place in a science facility during a mysterious emergency. I’d recommend playing with friends, but I think it’d be fun solo, too.

I also had fun with Subnautica, though that one is a few years old now. I have not tried the sequel, but I’ll probably pick it up some day. It’s a game where you have crash-landed on an alien ocean world, and you have to explore to make better tools to try and escape.

I’ve been playing Hardspace Shipbreaker lately, where your character is someone who disassembles spaceships. The fun of the game is moving around in zero-g and safely take stuff apart without setting off the nuclear reactor, or explosively decompressing a ship right next to you. You upgrade your tools as you do more jobs.

There’s a popular indie game right now called Megabonk; if you like rogue-light games, it’s a fun one. Avoid waves of monsters and upgrade your character by picking the best of three random power-ups as your level goes up.

I actually don’t think I’ve ever played a game by an Indian studio, which is a shame because I’m sure there are some great storytellers and coders from there who make spectacular games. I should look around and see what available.

Regarding great games, what genres do you like?
