Thank you all who have supported my channel so far. I finally got 360 subscribers. Which to many is not a big feat. Considering all I’ve been through I’m lucky to be around to make videos at all. I got my first affiliate offer in my email today. I’m sure thousands of these are sent out every day but this put a big smile on my face. I’m not going to accept their offer but I’m happy to have even been considered as all. Come check me out if you haven’t already. I do mostly Linux, gaming and open source application show cases!

I wish it wasn’t so hard to keep doing this shit every day. I sometimes wish that pickup truck killed me when he hurled me from my bike. He took away my strength, my power and my body from me. I used to be so strong and now I can barely hobble to my desk everyday. I hate it. I hate my weak and terrible body and despite all my hard work I have to accept this is as good as it ever gets. Maybe it’s not worth the effort. Maybe I should just give up. Who would even care if I did?

I’ve run out of excuses to not do it for myself. I’ve done it for everyone else in my life. Now it’s my turn to make my own dreams come true. I’m not sure what the next phase of my life entails but I know I have to try to make it on my own. At least if I fail I can at least say I tried.

I'd really like the perspective from someone who is new to using Linux. What kind of "how too" videos would really help you out in a pinch? Don't worry if it's mundane, I'm open to any suggestions.

The most beautiful beach overlook I’ve ever seen in my life.

The beach below is called Secret Beach on Liuqiu Island in Taiwan 🇹🇼 It’s not a terrible walk, I’m just bad at hiking since I have to use a cane these days. I encourage everyone to check it out in person. The video doesn’t do it justice.

One of the subs I used to hang out on would go to the Gangnam Style YouTube comments section each time the sub was down. I thought it might be a neat idea if we did something similar. I think [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7YXXieghto) would be an appropriate one to meet up on... but I'd love to know your thoughts.

I don't want to bring up site performance. We all know Ernest is working hard and the site is running much better these days, at least in my experience. What I wanted to bring up was how awesome this community has been as a whole. Most of the stuff I have learned to do has been from other users who have either figured it out or have written something to improve the site. Learning how to block communities or instances has been a big help. I also installed the Stylus extension and used a couple of the themes to customize how Kbin looks. One of my favorite scripts though was written by Minnieo here on Kbin. If you type / and write "a shortcut", it will auto fill in different stuff like this: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ One of the things I really enjoyed about Reddit when I joined that site a long time ago was how small communities came together. Thank you all for everything you have taught and for all the hard work you have put in to make the user experience a little better for all of us.

It's been a fun and interesting week watching Reddit burn itself to the ground. I am starting to get really comfortable in the [#Fediverse](https://kbin.social/tag/Fediverse). It took awhile but I really like how there are so many different instances and options. I love that I can pick something like [#kbin](https://kbin.social/tag/kbin) but see posts across [#lemmy](https://kbin.social/tag/lemmy), [#beehaw](https://kbin.social/tag/beehaw) and [#mastodon](https://kbin.social/tag/mastodon). Even if Reddit fixes everything at this point and backs off the API changes, I don't really see a reason to go back.

I went and played [#softball](https://kbin.social/tag/softball) yesterday with my co-workers. This is the first [#sports](https://kbin.social/tag/sports) activity I have done since the accident. I was pretty proud of myself. I was able to run the bases and I hit ever pitch that day. I was worried that my hip wouldn't be ready for that level of activity but I held up well... that day. Today I feel like I got hit by the pickup truck all over again. Thankfully nothing seems to be injured but I'm completely sore from head to toe, especially the muscles that got impacted the most by my injuries.

Reddit Migration NumbersCanBeFun • 1y ago • 99%

I did it. I deleted all my Reddit accounts.

This was a really hard decision for me but I purged all my posts, votes and comments via Shreddit. I then deleted all my accounts. I've been on Reddit since it was just a baby website. I love Reddit, the friends and the communities I was involved in changed my life for the better. We'll see how it goes but the only way we are going to win this fight is to walk away from Reddit. We have to send a message to them and the only way to do that is to hit them where it really hurts, right in the wallet. Change is a good thing and I am ready to embrace it. I'm all in on kbin now. Let's see where we go from here 🍻

GNU/Linux Gaming on Kbin NumbersCanBeFun • 1y ago • 50%

OpenTTD is one of my newest favorite games.

When I first installed Mint I wasn't really sure what to do. I knew gaming on Linux was good and steam has come a long way with proton but I still wanted to see what the software manager had to offer for games. A couple of them looked like cute little time wasters but I saw OpenTTD and I recalled the Spiffing Britt did a video about that game once before. I decided to download it and I've been addicted to it ever since. Every aspect of it is enjoyable, but I really found the trains to be the most fun part of the game. Something about setting it all up and just watching everything move along with purpose. It's just so satisfying to me. Not sure if you've tried it, but it's worth a shot in my opinion. Make sure you download a graphics pack if you're not into the old school look.
