urata@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something right now you both need to do and are actively avoiding doing?8·5 months agoFigure out what’s wrong with my car. Taking it to a shop is probably too expensive and figuring it out myself is too daunting of a task. It sometimes dies when I’m slowing to a stop, and I have to put it in park and restart it. Sometimes it’s hard to start and then the tachometer stays at zero even though the engine is running.
urata@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is one video game cheat code that will you will always remember?141·5 months agoMy username. If you enter urata as your name when you play Castlevania III for NES you start with the mage character (Sypha Belnades) available from the start.
Also iddqd for god mode and idkfa for all weapons in DOOM because that game was way too hard when I was a kid.

urata@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the origin of your username/nickname?4·6 months agoSo you could say your full name is notspookypippithediddlydo or nspptdd. That looks like it could be a *nix daemon.

urata@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the origin of your username/nickname?11·6 months agoMine is a cheat code for Castlevania III on NES. Which is, I believe, the name of one of the developers of the game.
I like nicknames that are short and have no real meaning that just kind of sound like they could be a name.
urata@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you feel weird/anxious if you go outside and don't have a phone with you?1·6 months agoI do not. I don’t feel awkward necessarily just sitting there doing nothing but I also tend to avoid situations where I am like that because I do get bored and impatient fairly easily. I also just don’t like phones. I don’t do much with mine other than the things I find very useful like calls, text messaging and maps. I much prefer my PC whenever possible.
I’m American, and I’m 40. I didn’t have a mobile phone until I was like 19 and didn’t have a smartphone until I was probably about 28 or something.
I understand why people would feel awkward without their phones for sure. Especially if that’s what they are used to. I used to smoke cigarettes and I remember kinda feeling silly just standing there not smoking after I quit.
It’s really easy to try out most linux distributions by running them live from a USB drive. You’ll need to be able to tell your computer to boot from the drive by entering your BIOS setup.
Once you’ve done that you’ve probably done the most technical thing you’ll have to do to try linux. If you have a separate SSD to install linux on you’ll have a pretty easy time actually installing linux. If not you’ll have to learn to partition your drive which can feel a little scary.
I think if you are playing a lot of different games it’s likely you will find some that won’t run on linux so you’ll likely still need to run some form of windows for some games. I’d hope to see that change in the future but I’m not holding my breath. I personally still do most of my gaming on windows because some of my favorite games don’t run on linux but it really depends on your preferences.
