Depends on what it is. Currently, on my laptop, I have music organized by group followed by album if I have ripped a CD for backup in case my CD stops working. Got a lot of blanks, just in case, for free.

Downloads isn’t organized. Pictures are slightly organized, with images for background in a folder and a few other folders. Most everything in documents is in a folder inside the documents folder or a subfolder in the subfolders.

Desktop has folder has mostly the important things in it, like folder for appimages, emulators, other programs and related files that require their own folder, and a few miscellaneous files. Organization is something I have prioritized a lot more on my laptop to ensure I don’t end up having a situation like with my desktop where it’s a shitshow.

As for phone, I’m doing a lot better with organization because I set up a new phone I got maybe a month or less ago and have been doing good to organize. Just need to go into my SD card and fix some things up that haven’t been organized for a long time, since my 2nd smartphone, back from ~2015-16. Mostly just music. Got over 500 audio files stored on an SD card, so you can imagine how insane it is to try and organize, especially if you feel daunted by that task like me.

Haven’t delt with that in a long time. Closest I had was maybe an hour or less because I live close to an elderly home and they usually get power restored real quick. I just stayed on my phone, which thankfully was charged, as I went with my parents to get candles. Never got candles since power came back so quick.

Longest I was without it because of an outage was around 2014 maybe, in winter. Cold days/nights spent in the living room, probably using the fireplace for the first time ever since I lived there. Used my phone and probably had other means of keeping myself entertained. Don’t recall much about it because it was a decade ago. Neighbor across the street was an amazing person because she let us take an extension cable cord thing from her house to ours when they got power back. I do remember watching a video when all of the sudden the power came back, though.

As for what I’d do now, probably cry and hope my Steam Deck/laptop/phone are charged. Also probably get batteries for a radio CD cassette mini boom box thing I got from a thrift store recently and play music, plugging in my headphones. I’ve got enough CDs to last a short while.

Give him a few months and there won’t be a climate crisis at his house because he won’t have a house. Just ashes. Wishful thinking, but you never know.

It’s available for android, ios, and free on itch(dot)io if you want it free, but Mindustry. Maybe not as free and creative as Scrap Mechanic (still have absolutely NO clue where to even find it for purchase), but it at least has a mode where you can build your own levels if you get bored of the official levels.

For more creative ventures, you could, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, go with minecraft (or luanti with a bunch of different mods/games from the content store if you’re looking for something free).

Edit: don’t know what I was thinking. Found Scrap Mechanic on Steam almost immediately. Must have been thinking another game or something else.

Just to absolutely annoy people, I’d probably go with a song I find very annoying and long. Probably something like Cannon in D, one I guarantee everybody has heard, even if they don’t know the name.

Just about everything, minus the green bean casserole I’m pretty sure my sister-in-law is making. That’s one thing I just don’t like.

Closest I’ve come is accessing the browser on desktop mode to transfer files (pretty much just games or files for games) and soon I hope to add custom boot videos. Otherwise, it’s just a game player/emulator player for me.

Random question, but does anyone know a way to make it so only custom boot videos play when you select random or have we not gotten that far yet?

Haven’t been playing for a long time because I haven’t set up the xbox in a long while, but Borderlands 1. Have been playing that game on and off more than a decade now. I don’t think the base game (playthrough 1 only) on its own is 1000+ hours long, could be wrong, but it’s long enough, especially with the DLCs. I think I’ve beaten playthrough 1 and 2 with 2-3 of the characters and have yet to beat all the quests with any of them because of a certain DLC boss fight quest.

It’s a game I absolutely fell in love with. Started with the 2nd game, which my brother got, but I later got the 1st because I wanted to see how it was compared to 2 and I’m a bigger fan of the 1st game. Played the pre-sequel, it’s fun but not as good as 1 in my opinion, and have no experience at all with 3.

There is Neocities and a few other sites that allow you to make and share your own sites. Though some sites are more than just basic html, so experience will vary, but you can find basic pages dedicated to hobbies and such if you sift through them. Only problem with these sites/services, assuming the other ones are run like Neocities, is that you are given a pretty limited amount of space.

There’s no way my dad would have ever let me (or either of my siblings) celebrate that in either of the jobs he had when I was growing up. Even though he doesn’t work directly with the machinery, a foundry is the opposite of a safe place for kids to be. Same with military weekend drills.

And if I ever have kids, I personally probably wouldn’t celebrate it with them because I think it’s just kinda dumb.

If there were no consequences, I can think of a few different things I’d wanna see.

1. Just out of morbid curiosity, what an atomic bomb dropping looks like when it explodes, being there in person rather than just seeing footage (from a safe distance with protective equipment, just in case I can still get hurt, otherwise get as close as possible if there are absolutely zero consequences to my actions, as if I’m a spectator in minecr*ft).
2. Probably just go back in time and watch as many cartoons as I could back in the early netflix streaming era because I absolutely love cartoons.
3. Definitely go back in time and watch either An American Tail or Fivel Goes West in theaters because I really like both movies.

If we’re talking just the RPG maker series and not any of the creations, XP because pokemon essentials.

Otherwise, it’s close because I love Pokemon Uranium (the game that got banned from too much success and attention IIRC) and the currently still WIP Pokemon Empire (the game where you visit the Telius region and start on a plane ride, to avoid spoilers and also it being mixed up with any other game).

I really like Pokemon Uranium mostly because of nostalgia. Saw videos of people I used to watch who didn’t normally make pokemon content playing it and it’s probably the first pokemon fangame I ever played and definitely the first I finished the main story of. Still waiting for post game to be released and I’m absolutely pumped for when/if it ever releases.

I love Empire it takes baseline Pokemon Reborn/Rejuvenation elements such as field effects and adds a lot to them, has 18(?/one per type) badges planned and the currently available actually feel fair while still being challenging (IMO), changes a ton of moves to make them better (splash lowering accuracy? I’ll take it!), has some pretty cool fakemon (even if they’re not all ones you would see in an official game design wise) with a pretty cool spinda evolution, and even changes the type chart by having normal be super effective against fairy type, making normal have an actual use. Also, you can start with a starter of just about any type, which is absolutely amazing.

Biggest problem with both, in my opinion, is that they rely on discord servers for sharing things like game dev progress/updates and such, like most every other fangame out there.

Depends on the article. Political or most other real world news, probably gonna either just read the headline and any comments. If it’s something that interests me, I feel more compelled to read it, though.

Would absolutely love to see mod makers turn either 3 or NV into a fo1/2 experience because we’re clearly never gonna see remasters of the original at this point.

Probably the best we’d get for story DLCs would be for FO4 or 76 because there’s absolutely no way they’d create new content for a game over a decade old that isn’t Skyrim or the latest entry in another series of theirs that is either fallout or fallout or fallout.

You got me there.

I thought y’all was just a gender neutral term combining you and all.

How would it be wrong or offensive to refer to refer to trans person as “y’all”? Genuine question.

Have they tried forcing people to upgrade to AI PCs in order to receive security updates by checking to see if your PC is an AI PC? You know just to prove people really want AI PCs?

Unrelated to Adventures, but thanks to this post I rediscovered the Sonic Generations Unleashed Project mod (alongside some cool looking add-on mods). I saw a single video on the base mod years ago and completely forgot about it until today, so thank you for this, I guess, and also thank you to the person who posted the link to the mod site.

Haven’t played it yet, but just got the copy of Ratchet & Clank Future Tools Of Destruction in the mail today. Looking to hopefully start at least a little bit over the weekend.
