I gave up dating several years ago. It’s mainly because I’m too much of an introvert for relationships. I had a few girlfriends back in high school but obviously none of them were successful, as they just didn’t feel right for me. Some people, like me, just aren’t cut out for dating.

Mainly just notifications from app stores like Google Play, F-Droid and Nutaku. I do occasionally receive notifications from other apps such as Google Opinion Rewards and Proton Mail. Then very rarely, I do also receive calls and texts but it’s mostly just scams and otherwise unknown numbers.

As for your side question, I used to because it used to be useful. Several years ago, Google broke YouTube’s email notifications and refused to fix it. Then at some point, they acted like no one wanted them and just removed them. Luckly, RSS feeds still work, YouTube doesn’t tell you they exist but they do.

Action RPGs are my go to games for this. Some good choices are most of the Kingdom Hearts games and most of the Castlevania games from SOTN onward (including Curse of Darkness and Lament of Innocence). I also like Dissidia and Dissidia Duodecim (012) but I do know that not everyone liked these two games. There are also some more obscure games that might be worth checking out, like The 3rd birthday and Alien Syndrome which are both on the PSP.

“Musou” games (often listed as either ARPGs or beat-em-ups) are also pretty good for this as well. Games like Warriors Orochi and at least most of Dynasty Warriors made after the first (the first game was a fighting game) are good choices. I’m not too familiar with other musou games but I did like Mystic Heroes, which I’ve played the GameCube version of but there is a PS2 version as well.

I’m not gonna lie, I wasn’t expecting that response.

I haven’t heard of that second one before.

I’m not familiar with Eee PCs but I’m assuming you’d want something lightweight. Q4OS has a 32-bit version available.

I don’t know how much of a problem it is nowadays, but I know for a very long time, “westerners” for some reason have a tendency to view anime in a similar way to how racist karens react when they have to walk past an innocent black person while walking at the park. I’ve never understood it but most of the people who don’t like anime, usually act like it’s somehow a threat to society and do everything they can to either slander it or just straight up try to get it banned. It’s insane and until people like this stop existing, anime will never be properly excepted.

It works pretty well. I don’t currently play any pc games with anti-cheat, so most games work well without having to do anything special outside of running them in Wine or some other application and there are some games that actually work noticeably better on Linux than Windows. Some games have required some additional setup but it’s pretty rare for games to just not work at all. Something I find kind of funny though, is that most of the games I haven’t been able to get working on Linux aren’t working on Windows either.

I should also mention that I don’t really use mods for games. I have used mods for the Linux version of SRB2 but the game is designed to be easily modable, so it makes sense that the mods would just work.

There are a lot of things that make me happy to at least some degree. Just going in order of what I remember, there is, finding uses for older pieces of technology, listening to music that is upbeat and “energetic” (if that’s the right word to use), playing games with good gameplay and stories (even if they can get depressing sometimes), and while it’s been a while since I’ve last watching one, watching Anime can also make me happy. There are also some other things but I’ve either forgotten them or I just don’t feel like mentioning them.

It’s not a perfect solution but something that I do, is anything that requires my full attention and prevents me from thinking about them.

I too am currently having this problem because I can get easily attached to fictional characters. I’ve been playing Honkai Impact 3rd, which is my first time playing a Mihoyoverse game, and the story (at least part 1, I’m not in part 1.5 or 2 yet) is so tragic, that I’ve developed an attachment to the characters. I’ve been trying to take breaks from playing, so I can focus on other things, but I get depressed if I go too long without playing it.

Assuming I’m understanding what you mean, I did somewhat recently. I don’t remember what game it was but it was caused by a game I downloaded from the Google Play Store. The game never gave me notifications as I actually had them disabled, but the game would cause my phone to vibrate randomly for seemingly no reason. As soon as I uninstalled the game, the random vibrations stopped.

I looked through my bash history and it looks like I needed it to build an Xbox eeprom editor for Xemu. Xemu doesn’t (or at least didn’t, I haven’t used newer versions yet) have a built in eeprom editor and editing the Xbox eeprom is required for enabling both wide screen and higher resolutions for the games that support them natively.

I just looked at Xemu’s documentation, and it looks like they’ve added a link to an online eeprom editor, so the editor I used (which they do still link to) is no longer required.

I’ve only used aliases twice so far. The first was to replace yt-dlp with a newer version because the version that comes pre-installed in Linux Mint is too outdated to download videos from YouTube. The second was because I needed something called “Nuget”. I don’t remember exactly what Nuget is but I think it was a dependency for some application I tried several months ago.

alias yt-dlp='/home/j/yt-dlp/yt-dlp'
alias nuget="mono /usr/local/bin/nuget.exe"

On Linux, I’m using Firefox as my main browser and Vivaldi as my secondary browser.

On android, some of my devices have Firefox, some of them have Fennec F-Droid and the devices that don’t have very much storage space have Via Browser. If you’re wondering why I have both Firefox and F-Droid’s Fennec, it’s because I used to just use Fennec but then at some point F-Droid announced that Fennec was outdated and it was missing several security updates that were present in Firefox. I switched to Firefox on the devices I use browsers on more actively but I didn’t see a reason to switch all of them.

So far, the only thing I know for sure that I would consider using it for is to use JoiPlay to play RPG Maker games that I can’t get working with my normal methods but at least on my current computer/distro, I’m having issues with audio crackling.

I might find other apps to use later but for the most part, I just kind of keep android apps to android.

This is the reason box86/64 exists.

I once annoyed one of my friends in high school while he was trying to write a story/book (I don’t remember if he was actually trying to write his own book or if it was just a story). One day, I saw that he was typing a sentence that said something about one of the characters “whipping out his cellphone” and I said “oh, is that what we’re calling it now”. I would then occasionally look back at his story without actually reading anything and laugh a little. At first he thought it was funny but at some point he started getting annoyed and kept telling me to stop.

I haven’t tried that many hot sauces but I like hot sauces that have a good mix of both heat and flavor. What I prefer depends on what I’m eating, so sometimes I prefer Tapatio and other times I prefer (real) Sriracha. I do also sometimes use other hot sauces like the ghost pepper ranch from Wendy’s when I can get them.

It’s been a while since I last laughed that hard but it was when Vinesauce played Gat Life: Boyfriend Bar.

Yeah, blood has a smell. I don’t know why but some people can’t smell it at all, while some people can smell it from pretty far way. I’ve never tested exactly how sensitive I am to the smell but, for example, if a woman is having her time of the month, I can usually smell it from several feet away.
