  • I installed linux mint to a secondary hard drive, then I installed steam onto that Linux install. I play wars two, so I added Guild Wars two as a non-steam game to steam.

    I didn’t want to re-buy Guild wars two with steam because I’d lose all of my progress. Once I added it as a non-steam game I just right clicked on the game within steam and changed the compatibility to the newest proton. (I didn’t choose a hot fix version of proton) It runs just fine.

    This is what I would suggest that you do , is install it to a secondary drive to see if that variation of Linux will work for you.





  • Not sure if all banks work that way, but I do have a way for you to solve the problem with anybody who is doing that.

    In the United States, you can go down to the local post office and fill out a small form. That form lists exactly who lives there. The Post Office puts that form into an optical reader software and all mail that goes through the distribution plant gets read by an optical reader.

    So for example let’s say that you lived at

    872 3rd St. S.

    And I tried to mail a letter to

    John Stevens

    872 3rd St. S.

    If you don’t have John Stevens wrote on that form that you gave to the post office, the optical reader will immediately reject that letter and send it to whoever sent it. You will never see any mail other than what is addressed to you.

    Make sure that everybody who lives at that address is wrote on that form. I would also write down anybody who realistically might be getting mail there. So for example, let’s say your mom intends to have a letter sent to your house for her even though she doesn’t live with you you’d wanna make sure her name is on that form.

    Now the bank tries to send stuff out for this other person and the bank gets it right back.







  • The absolute crap interfaces that are being developed for electronic devices. There’s no reason for them to be as bad as they are at this point. They were getting better and better going from say 1996 until about 2005. After that they just started dropping off fast. The last few years they’re just atrocious. And there is just no excuse. I know it annoys people when I say it, but as far as I’m concerned, the people who develop these interfaces, when they get up in the morning, they do lines of crack until their brains just about explode. Then they go to work and say this would be a cool idea even though the rest of the world looks at and goes. What the hell?

    There’s no logic in the interface no common sense that you can use to use them.

    And the target/hit boxes are becoming so small if you have any sort of muscular issue good luck on ever using it.

    The developers, the executives the companies do not give a crap. Their attitude is if you don’t like it just buy something else. The problem : that’s the way it’s all being designed so you literally have nothing else to buy.

    Then you have the consumers , their attitude is basically you have a choice. You don’t have to buy it. Which is a completely moronic statement.

    My response is basically I’ve stopped buying things. Unless I absolutely have no other choice I just make do with what I have and the world go screw itself.

    I watched my mom try to tap an icon on the screen seven separate times before it would actually activate. think about that , seven times just to activate whatever she was trying to touch. That’s stupid. So I literally knelt down right next to the table and watched herfinger very carefully, hit the screen and come up. The problem was her finger was moving by just a few pixels. So it was counted as a drag. Who the fuck thought that would be a idea? I mean, I could understand if you touch and drag, like a distance on the screen OK well that’s dragging. But that incredibly tiny amount? What jackass thought this was a good idea.? If your finger so much is twitches, it won’t count it as touch. It’ll count it as a drag and it won’t activate.
