we’re headed for Barry though. 😞

that’s disappointing. I didn’t know about that.

even the experienced ones! do you ever watch Linus Tech Tips? it’s so fun watching them rip up the water-cooling loops after realizing they put it together wrong, or trying and failing at different EFI hacks to get weird prototype cards to work or figure out why their mystery hardware isn’t booting.

my save: DLvl 3, +FoodPois, +Starving, cursed by my deity after hallucinating that my pet kitten’s corpse was a cram ration, pursued by the Keystone Kops.

if you play the CDs backwards it’s just a Rolling Stones album.
