I never played JC3, but I finished JC2 because the characters were funny (i.e. Bolo Santosi). How does JC3 compare to JC2 in that aspect?

Eh I’ve already played it on Windows - it was some time back.

I don’t think I can fully abandon Windows as I have some work software that is only meant to run in Windows, so either I dual boot or get a separate machine for work things.

I tried Solus back in 2018 with Wine. The only game that didn’t work properly was Mass Effect Andromeda (if memory serves correctly); it kept crashing to the desktop anywhere between a few minutes in to 2 hours.

I didn’t want to have to do debugging both at work and outside of work, so I switched back to Windows, and it worked fine after that.

I would be willing to try again maybe, if I can find the will and time over the weekend to setup a hybrid Linux and Windows implementation on my PC - does anyone have any good recommendations?

Heh - Cloaca Cola

I was on a quest to do this but I lost interest after reaching Jeremiah. Ecclesiastes surprised me though - that one was interesting.

Which was your favorite, if I may ask?

Save me from the not _ thing I’ve become

YouTube for me. I just realized I’ve been experiencing brain-rot like symptoms (i.e. unable to concentrate, think deeply in realtime, continue conversations without much pre-thinking) for the past few years because I watch too much Lets Plays as a substitute for human interaction.

Similar - I don’t say anything coherent, just contort my face and say things like Patrick from Spongebob (i.e. leedle leedle leedle lee)

Sweet and Sour Pork

Lemon Chicken Rice

etc.

Part 2: Me as a child putting my bare hand on a hot iron. My entire hand was bandaged up.

I don’t recall the pain, but the bandages lol

Yep I’m not streaming - waste of mobile data

Coronal Mass Ejection perhaps

Side question - how do people get the opportunity to move so easily? I work in Tech and the market is brutal right now

This reminds me of the movie where Cheetah (voiced by Claudia Black) laced WW with a toxin that made WW see everyone as Cheetah, causing her to fight until she nearly died of exhaustion, if not for the timely intervention of Cyborg

Same - Planescape Torment is my personal greatest RPG ever made

I placed my entire hand on a hot iron. For more than a few seconds - super dumb and ignorant.

Ended up having my entire hand wrapped in bamdages.

What about Glass Bottles?

I discovered Planescape Torment a few years ago - I can see how it would be impactful to a younger me. Even now I can still remember the moment the Undying One gave his answer to Ravel’s infamous question against the backdrop of the Fortress of Regret’s OST playing gives me a chill

Singapore - Mother Tongue is a compulsory subject to take up until Uni. Being classified as Chinese racially, I had to take Mandarin during my formative years - but I’m still not good at it lol

Interesting - in Singapore the widespread expectation in 2025 (at least among the elderly) is to get a plastic bag / food containers (sometimes multiple) from the shop whenever one buys something. Albeit since 2020 these now cost 5 & 30 cents respectively
