How is character progression handled? What about items and gear? Do they carry over to subsequent runs?

My question is, would children be using it liberally? I don't know. Just saying, as a kid during the 80s, I was pretty much oblivious to that word.

OMG. "F" word means "fuck". Good grief.

I thought this was fine. Disappointed if there were actual deaths at the end because I liked those kids. One thing I really dislike is the use of anachronistic swearing in period settings... it completely takes me out of it. Or maybe I was just sheltered as a child, but I don’t remember...

I wouldn't mind seeing a series with older versions of the heroes, like in Kingdom Come. Although I imagine it wouldn't appeal to younger viewers (but begs the question does the current stuff appeal to them? Seems not.)

I don't know, I enjoyed it. Ending was rather 'meh' though.

I used to build Gentoo from source. I think that's how it worked.

Are you running the Plasma desktop? Linux Mint's default is Cinnamon which I quite like. But decided to try out Plasma and it's pretty kick ass. I've never been a big fan of KDE, but it's been years since I've played with it.

I did an upgrade during Prime Day, got a new B850 motherboard and Ryzen 9 7900x. I typically go with Linux Mint, but...here we go: audio wasn't working. Apparently lacks support for the new Realtek ALC4080 chipset and I could NOT get it to work. So, installed the new flavor of the month...

The Mist is one of my favorite horror movies. Short story it's based on was great as well.

It's all long term. I sold enough to cover my original investment plus a tiny bit of profit.

We had another RIF this week. The test department manager and a couple of senior testers were let go, while the devs went untouched.

That's why I came to despise Windows 11. Inconsistent look of the menus and dialogs. Just a mishmash of new and old styling.

Need some advice: I hold several positions that have become very lofty (significantly appreciated). I’m reluctant to sell outright, but I recognize the need to lock in some profits. Instead, I’m considering selling covered calls on a portion of these positions. If I were selling shares...

Yeah for me it was local, so it was wide open.
