With the current component prices, I took it as an opportunity to upgrade the peripherals and such:
-new mouse
-new headphones
-new PSU: not the plan but it started making noises and I'm not risking it!

Normal Golf Game (PC) The guy that gave us Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride invites you to play a totally normal game of golf. What? It's not like you're trapped here or anything..

NGG answers a question nobody in their right mind would ask: What if you combined QWOP with a golf swing? The answer is obviously one of the most frustrating(ly addictive) experiences imaginable.

You start by "waking up", being told you've been given the chance to be the course champion, and that it'll cost you $100k, which is all you have +$10, lol. Then your car is towed. Best get to golfing, buddy!

So the focal point here is the swing "controls". The club head wobbles various ways, both side to side and pivoting on it's axis. You swing by clicking (or using a thumbstick with a controller) to grab the hands of a mini-golfer in the HUD and pulling them around the swing plane to contact the ball.

It's easily the most convoluted way to enact a golf swing in a game ever. I would know, I been playing them since Golf on NES. Even when you get everything as right as you can, you don't exactly feel like YOU did it as much as you got lucky things didn't fall apart before contact, lol.

You do sort of get the hang of it after a while, but this is still a game for the patient. 13 hours and 5500+ strokes for me to roll credits on the "easy" ending 🤣

The main task is to finish the 9 hole championship with a Par score. Thankfully, you can buy assists like no wind, mulligans, or a skip hole card that just gives you the par score for the hole. You "earn" money completing "bounties", challenges littered all over the course.

NGG is not for anyone looking for a relaxing game of golf. Basically it's a game for those of us that like to torture ourselves, esp those that like janky games. This is just intentional jank 😆 If that sounds like you, fully recommend checking it out. 👍 👍

The ideal male setup.

A person sits at a crowded computer desk surrounded by five CRT monitors and several older desktop PCs, keyboards, and electronics. The screens show weather radar maps, terminal text, a U.S. map, and a webpage displaying the large text “Fuck your Macintosh.” The room has teal walls and green-blue accent lighting, and the person is raising their middle finger toward the computers.

My daughter who has schizophrenia and some paranoia bought an old and beat up Dell 960 desktop computer without a hard drive on eBay. She wants a legacy computer because she thinks it is more secure than a newer computer and it is pointless to try convincing her otherwise. After reseating the two loose memory cards, I was able to successfully boot up Linux Mint Cinnamon from a USB drive as shown in the attached image. I can access the Linux Mint menu using the Windows key, but for some reason a USB mouse is not working. I am going to try using a dedicated mouse port instead to see if that works.

I have attached a photo of two unused cables that I assume are for the missing hard drive. Am I wrong? One of the cables is damaged and I may have to replace it. I am obviously not a hardware guy and am just stumbling my way through this. If I buy a 3.5 Dell SATA hard drive, can I expect it to plug and play (if I replace the damaged cable)? Or, is it more complicated than that?
