@loadhigh - Oh, hey! I love the idea of your MS-DOS game stuff. Please enjoy some streams I've done of MS-DOS games:

Hello friends - are you a scientist who left Twitter in the six months or so? I have a journalist who would like to speak with you.

Well, not only are we seeing the heat waves early, the smoke is starting already as well. :/

Two days on, one day off. Got stuff to do tomorrow, I'l get back to Hyrule in a day or two....

Today's Completions:

Gameplay Spoilers for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom 

Holy Cow, I'm freaking overpowered now. So now that I've completed the Gerudo story and pushed SUPER hard through it, I was given Riju's Sage shadow.

Basically, you can create lightning ON DEMAND. I've taken out whole camps using her power just once, and mined an entire room of ore with a strike. Not to mention, she can fight with you AND is invunerable. I've watched her take out enemies galore. O_o

The tradeoff is a not-terrible charge time for the effect, and having to chase down the shadow, because she's got small weapons and will run towards enemies out of your range for starting the lightning charge.

I'm still very much in the "easy mode enemies" stuff right now, but I'm using some super powered stuff to take them out. Still low on hearts, but working on that.

This is FUN. :D

So I spins my camera around ONLY TO HAVE THIS SPOOKY SHADOWMAN ELDRICH HORROR STANDING BEHIND ME.

Glad she's on my side, but Holy Potatoes. At least I can change my pants out with a button press.

As a promise I made to a furry friend when Breath of the Wild came out, no foxes are ever harmed in my games. They're too cute anyways.

Well. Gerudo Town is safe. Let's get on with the rest of the game, shall we?

"Why do you use Linux over Windows, Jenn?"

Lemme tell ya - I'm an old DOS user. I like hardware access control over my computers so if I want something done, the OS can complain, but it won't stop me. Linux allows that. Windows does not....

So, I'm trying to get my Ethernet and my Wi-Fi on my laptop to work together on the same IP for ease of use when remoting into the system.

The plan:
1) Set up the system to disable the Wi-Fi when the ethernet is plugged in and re-enable it when unplugged.
2) Set up both interfaces with the same IP.

Linux:
1) Quick script to hotswap the devices. COMPLETE
2) Assign the same IP to both devices. COMPLETE
Result: SUCCESS! And quick too.

Windows:
1A) In the device manager, look for the setting to Disable the NIC when ethernet is plugged in. FAILED - setting doesn't exist, despite documentation that it does.
1B) Update NIC drivers for setting. FAILED - setting doesn't exist, despite documentation that it does.
1C) Find a command line that allows the hotswap based on setting up a task via event viewer in Windows. FAILED - only works when plugging in, not unplugging
1D) Debug the script to find out why it won't disable the WiFi when plugged in. FAILED - can't see why it's not working...
1E) Erase the disconnect script, copy paste it again. COMPLETE. For some reason.
2A) Assign the static IP to my ethernet. COMPLETE
2B) Assign the same static IP to my Wifi. FAILED. Windows gave me an error saying I SHOULDN'T put the same IP on two devices, but allowed me to save anyway. Then stripped the IP, leaving it blank.
2C) Repeat the above several times, as per Microsofts instructions. - FAILED
2D) Disconnect the ethernet and try again. FAILED. Same error.
2E) Attempt to force the ip addresses to both devices. FAILED, access denied
2F) Go into Regedit, allow the permissions, and try again. FAILED, was allowed permission to rewrite finally, but got "The Object Already Exists."
2G) Attempt to remove all network profiles: FAILED. "Access Denied."
2H) Go back into Regedit, find another pemission to change, and tried again: SUCCESS - now able to flush all profiles.
2I) Assign IP Address to Wi-Fi: SUCESS
2J) Assign IP Address to Ethernet: FAILED "The Object already exists."
Result: FAILURE - After two hours of something that SHOULD work, and Windows even tells you "you can save this configuration, but it won't work" and then doesn't let you save it.

I like having hardware access control to my computer when I need it, and Windows took that away around Windows ME.

I didn't just try to install a Windows driver in Linux, no not me, I'm smarter than that.

There is one thing I miss pre-transition. Going topless around the house with the windows open when it's hot. Now I gotta worry the neighbors can look in and I get an indecent exposure charge....

If you haven't had Nachos Cereal you're missing out. (All the non dippable chip crumb with nacho cheese and salsa poured over it in a bowl).

You though Captain Crunch destroyed the roof of your mouth....

Got an extra heart when completeing the Light Temple, and got another heart through some shrines. Feeling a little more confident I won't have to worry about One Hit Kills moving forward.
