I'm overclocking my GPU (a GTX 1650 (Laptop), for those who care) and it pulled off +200 MHz on core, and +995 MHz on memory. The core's alright, I guess, but that memory, holy shit. I can't tell, but I think I just won the silicon lottery.

Recently I've discovered that you can play rock/surf music on a shamisen.

I didn't even know this is my kind of music, but apparently, it is!

[wierd]

It's clearly accompanied by bass guitar though.

I've been playing Hunt: Showdown.   
Kind of a departure from the kind of games I'm usually interested in, but its permadeath mechanic piqued my interest and I am glad it did.

I love Battle Brothers. Itīs helping me a lot retain my cool in these times...

 And the OST... is really really good

My three favorites, in rough order of preference, are
Into the Wilderness: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=battle+brothers+into+the+wilderness
Transversing the northern clanlands: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64VI4kd-Q8c
Adrenaline Rush: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSpvByatWes

I just noticed that the Swedish edition of Bilbo was illustrated by Tove Jansson. That means that...

I want an American edition illustrated by Dr Seuss.

On that note there is a Dr Seuss parody of Call of Cthulu, which is an actual book you can get

https://geekandsundry.com/call-of-cthulhu-now-a-seuss-book-and-its-terrifying/

I could get this thing at a shop near me, but I have too much junk already, and who am I going to show it to? Almost none of the people I interact with would even get what the joke is here, without me having to go into a detailed explanation of who HP Lovecraft is, or for a lot of them, who Dr Seuss is. I live in an area with a lot of immigrants, but we seem to have got the short end of the stick and the general level of their education is very low. I was trying to explain to my Indian flatmate what a Viking was, but he didn't know enough about history to even comprehend it. What the fuck are the schools even like in India?

How do you have a meaningful conversation with someone who hasn't heard of The Vikings? I don't want to be rude to the guy, but when someone lacks extremely basic world knowledge you can't help but patronize / dumb things down for them. The guy was telling me that his relatives in India were all hyped for that Hydrochloroquine stuff and that Trump was a smart man who put them onto it. I tried explaining how Trump's views were bullshit to him, but he was clearly not following what I was saying, so I gave up talking to him about anything other than extremely functional stuff to do with the house.

What's with the whole-ass Halberd there, Bilbo?

Nordic Bilbo is a badass viking?

[JoshuaFH]

He traded in Sting for some real killin' armaments.

Sometimes a game just really gets me, y'know? Metal Max 3 is one of those times.

[Naturegirl1999]

Does rob the world mean attempt robbing every building in existence? That will take a while

[Frumple]

Specifically it means opening every locked door in the game, near as I can tell.

It's important to have goals.
