  1. It was middle school, I got a old black and red flip phone. It was neat for it's time.
  2. It would either be the solar eclipse, or the time I went to Hawaii and we ATV up a mountain and could see another island. Both were pretty cool.
  3. Depends on the store. Dollar general? Just 10 mins by driving. An electronic store? About an hour and a half of driving.
  4. I've never used a credit card. I know my parents use one to get cash back on gas and utilities but I never wanted to bother with it.
  5. The only one I could think of is mtg arena. Putting alchemy with the other formats like brawl is straight up moronic. Then they have the audacity to say "brawl is flourishing" while most games are decided by turn 1 or 2. Just wish there was a better, modern way to play mtg online without wotc involved. That, and the fact I can consistently crash the server from having a lot of triggers show how poor the code for the game is too.
  6. I have an old rocket league sticker on a 04 jeep, though I don't really drive it anymore. The windows of my civic are tinted if that counts.
  7. Kinda just depends. I was on/off for awhile, between 2018 to 2023. All of the people I used to talk to have left, and since I don't really watch or talk about the show the only place for new content is in beyond equestria. I also remember taking a break in 2015 since the amount of trolls and toxic people were insane.
  8. Didn't like it at all. Most of the schools around here are just terrible all around.
  9. Glad you're back! I love the setup its awesome! The pinkie pie is super cute. What a lot of arch gate-keepers won't tell you is that when you install arch you can just run "archinstall" and you run through it like a normal installer. You'd just have to get used to the pacman package manager and updating certain things manually. I've moved to cachyOS and it's very similar to arch (it is arch based). There is actually a hyprland install that comes with cachyOS installer if you're ever curious. I actually just swapped to cachyOS from arch, just wanted to try it out and I'm loving it tbh. I was having troubles with arch working with proton and crash issues with the Nvidia drivers. (so I guess I can now say I use cachyOS btw) I could just of got the repos of cachyOS and still kept the arch install, but I wanted to see how it went from fresh install. Though my first linux distro was Ubuntu and I enjoyed it I have a couple servers in my server rack that run proxmox with a bunch of debian VMs; it works great! I like that I don't have to update it often I feel that "fun", especially on a "bleeding edge" distro. I forgot what it was I was trying to install, but I ended up having to find the source code and a compiler to get it to work. Though now I can just do a few terminal commands and it'll install most things. I think the performance hit might have something to do with vulkin 1.3 architecture, and Nvidia also came out and confirmed a bug on the latest driver that drops about 8% performance with DirectX12 and linux. Hopefully patch 580 will bring some good news. If you're curious, cachyOS makes a custom proton version that you can install on steam. For deep rock galactic and MTG arena it has done a great job. I'm gonna include my PC screenshot cuz why not I've been getting into linux ricing as a learning experience and it's been pretty fun
  10. There are two I vividly remember, both from the same trip. Two are on top of pikes peak in Colorado; the other is a thunderstorm when we went through Kansas. It did produce a tornado.
  11. I've been spending way too much time going through youtube shorts, and the tiktok music bleeds through to it. This song isn't long but damn is it catchy. bana, tomato
  12. Since linux has been growing recently, I thought I'd make a general thread about it. Anyone is welcome to share anything linux-related, desktops, raspberry pi, IoTs, etc. If you're curious about GNU/linux or it's distros, ask away! As for myself, I use linux mint(cinnamon) on my aging laptop and I have an arch linux build (hyprland) on my main desktop. I've done a lot of distro hopping, for myself and for school. I'm on my laptop at the moment so I'll share a screen shot. If you don't know, you can use the command "fastfetch" to get this result. It'll have to be installed in the terminal.
  13. I live out in the boonies of Missouri, so the closest one is like 45 mins away. The only fastfood chain that's close is subway, but the food poisoning is common so most don't go to it.
  14. Turned the big 3-0 today. I was 17 when I first joined mlpf. Time sure is accelerating :applejackconfused::derp:

      Not far behind you! :dash: Happy Birthday Retro!! :party-pinkie:

  15. I've went through every derpy hooves tag on derpibooru and I have some select favorites I use as avatars
  16. Hard to say just one... but my first and most enjoyable was metroid prime. Though I have a lot of time in CSGO/ battlefield and WarRock was great too.
  17. I saw they didn't fix the fundamental issues with the joycons so they'll still have drifting issues, probably more so in the next few months. Kirby's air ride and Prime 4 are the only games I'm looking forward to but I can wait, or emulate it later on. Current price is too high.
  18. East St Louis is extremely rough. I used to make deliveries out there and the crime is bad. Most of the locals I've delivered to told me to ignore traffic lights and just move through quickly.
  19. I'm trying to find the elden ring. Has anyone seen it? :huh:

      Maybe it's in a package mis-delivered by Derpy :wacko: .

  20. I've been learning python a bit as I'm getting into information science and I wanted to learn the language a bit more. So I got pygame and was making a small space shooter. here's a small clip of what I got https://streamable.com/sqy4v0
  21. I used to do lucid dreaming, I made what I called "logic gates". Which would just be checking how I got to the place I'm at in the dream. For example, if I'm at a waterfall how did I get there? Where's my car? Do I have my keys/wallet? What did I eat for breakfast?... and so on. However I managed to get stuck in a lucid nightmare, and decided not to do any sort of dreaming again, as soon as I realize it I try to snap back awake again.
  22. I don't know about "like", but I prefer it over the cold 🥶
  23. No, but I like blasting music from my phone
