Is BotBall still a thing? They had that (waaay) back when I was in high school, at least.

Congrats. I groaned IRL.

~2011?

2016 or later for MHA anime.

Is the path a file or something? On my system the corresponding path is a directory with a bunch of symlinks in it. The directory has user/group matching my account with permissions set to 755. (i.e. rwxr-xr-x)

I’m not really sure what to make of that other that guessing that something’s gone wrong with podman’s internal state handling. Did something you ran recently crash maybe? (I’m assuming podman ps used to work for you, right?)

My kneejerk reaction is “try rebooting”. If it persists there might be something odd going on with file permissions perhaps?

Judging by OP’s history, the title seems to be missing the critical words Davinci Resolve for what they want to get working.

I haven’t tried to use that program before, but their website says they have a Linux version. It’s not clear to me what distros they actually support though – it just says “Linux” on their downloader and then pops up a registration form which isn’t very helpful for trying to provide assistance…

I did a search and found a thread from ~2 years ago about running on Mint specifically with an AMD card that might be worth a look if you’re running similar hardware: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=426123 – probably not relevant with an NVIDIA card though.

If you can’t get it to work natively, you could try running the Windows installer under Lutris or Heroic or similar (treating it like a video game) and see what happens, I guess.

Hmm. So… how long do you think before we start seeing news stories about their DRM servers getting hit with DDOS attacks (or other network fuckery) and no one being able to play their PS4/PS5 games? 😛️

I deal with a lot of scientific imagery for work and I’ve recently started experimenting with what I can do with local vision capable LLMs (e.g. qwen3.6, gemma4) to cut down on some of the really tedious parts of the work and improve maintenance processes. The fact that they can just do OCR automatically on labels burned into the image and then combine that with a comparison to additional images and output a judgement is very useful…

Better out-of-the-box text-to-speech voices would be very welcome. The defaults are pretty painfully robotic… (Try spd-say "Hello world" if you don’t know what I mean.)

Trivial to use on-device dictation software could also be useful.

The capabilities of models like qwen3.6 to do things like on-device image analysis are pretty incredible if you have hardware capable of running it – I’ve run it on a Framework Desktop – but I have no desire to expose my systems directly to AI agents. That’s just asking for trouble… If an AI agent can fuck up, it will fuck up eventually, and I’d rather it not have the ability to delete my files when it does.

Check https://vndb.org/ if you’re looking for something with particular themes.

If you just want something straightforward, Yuzusoft makes decent moe dating VNs – good art, decent music, voice acted, fairly polished (and configurable) UI. Kind of weak on the writing though, unfortunately. I’ve played Cafe Stella and Riddle Joker (plus Parquet from their all-ages imprint, but that one’s a bit different). I’ve heard good things about Sanoba Witch in particular, but haven’t played that one yet myself.

Next on my list of moe VNs when I’m in the mood for this stuff again (I’ve been out of it for a bit too) is Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm. That seems to be fairly highly regarded, but I haven’t played it yet (beyond opening it up once to confirm it works on my system – the intro song is pretty good) so I can’t give personal thoughts. It’s a fantasy-sports drama (flying shoes)/moe dating VN, IIRC?

If you want to try something non-anime, Being a DIK was pretty entertaining. It’s a “college movie” in VN form with some mini-game elements reminiscient of Bully. S1+S2 is pretty lengthy and worth playing as-is, but the story is still incomplete FYI.

Outside of dating sim and moege VNs there’s quite a bit of other works with varying levels of gameplay that often get lumped into the VN category. e.g. Ace Attorney, Danganronpa, 999, AI: Somnium Files, etc. are pretty entertaining. If you want something with AO/sexual content in this VN-adjacent category, maybe try Evenicle?

Isn’t there also a chemical method to do it? I’m not a chicken farmer though. Maybe even with that it doesn’t make sense economically.

Still though, it feels like there’s an opportunity there that a creative marketing campaign could exploit to transform what’s currently a waste product into something more valuable. If not “Premium Chicken” then maybe “Ethical Rooster Meat” or an “Eat the patriarchy!” angle or something. Selling the sizzle rather than the steak, so to speak…

That’s one of the things about the current industrial processes that I don’t get. Capons (neutered roosters) used to be prized over regular chicken, and they’re much easier to keep than regular roosters. You’d think someone would try diverting at least some of the male chicks from the macerator to market as “Premium Chicken” or something.

I’d sweeten the evaporated milk (i.e. make sweetened condensed milk out of it) then use that to make Thai Iced Tea.

I’d also cook up some fried rice.

I don’t have the right ingredients (e.g. Jasmine rice) on hand to make a good Thai-style fried rice without going to the store, so I’d probably just make one of my usual (more Chinese/Japanese influenced) fried rice variants and serve the pineapple diced up on the side. There are pineapple fried rice recipes though (including some that call for serving the rice inside the hollowed out pineapple) which might be fun to try if I made a store run with these ingredients in mind.

Probably hundreds of millions or billions if you include things like washing machines, dish washers, automated gates, garage openers, etc. that automate specific tasks. Just the read/write arms in hard disks alone is probably a staggeringly huge number, if we’re counting things like that…

Took me longer than it probably should’ve to realize that said “Rustia” rather than “Russia” – was getting some real “Brazilian Arabia” vibes (from old EU4 memes) for a moment there.

Huh. I thought Tails was sitting on a rock with Hakase just petting him from behind (with body hidden), but now I’m not sure. That does look like her toes on the right there…

Based on what I see on my Steam Deck (not sure on Bazzite specifics), it looks like the WINE prefixes are stored in ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata

I think the number in each folder name is the game’s steam ID, which makes it a bit cryptic. You can probably find that ID by running grep -i "name of game" *.acf in the steamapps folder. The files are named like appmanifest_STEAMID.acf, if I understand how this works correctly. You might also just be able to search for the file you’re looking for directly though if you know what the name is inside the prefix and it’s distinct enough.

Glad you got outside and were able to get things sorted out without too much trouble! Having gone from “complete shut-in” back to “goes outside at least once in a while” myself, I will say it gets easier the more you do it.

Isn’t it supposed to be a file? (Maybe that’s your issue?) Is this the first time you’re setting up this VM or are you trying to move it from somewhere else?

Assuming first time, I’d expect you’d create a disk image to install to, load an ISO for the distro into the simulated optical drive, and then boot from the optical drive and format the blank disk inside the VM. I don’t know what VirtualBox specifically does, but that seems like the kind of thing there should be a wizard for; there is in other VM software, at least, for creating new VMs…

If you’re trying to migrate an existing VM between computers, I’d expect you’d just copy the disk image file and recreate the machine metadata to make sure it points to it correctly and you should be good…? Could be some VB specific crap I’m unaware of though.

Hmm. I assume the “Inaccessible” is what you’re trying to fix? Is the vdi file where it’s supposed to be (on your host system) – like, it didn’t get deleted or quarantined by anti-virus or fucked around with by OneDrive or something like that, right?

I don’t use VirtualBox or Win10, so my ability to help here is limited, but sanity checking that the file is OK is where I’d start.
