You beat me to it, this song is an absolute banger

That's so funny. The closest thing I've seen to that is a specific second person plural that usually refers to a specific subset of the listeners: y'uns.

~~Sounds like something a small dick would say ;-)~~

Hmmm. I feel like one of those words is far more charged than the other, but I agree that it'd be nice if we had better alternatives. The problem is that it's making fun of a certain specific attitude that some men have that tends to extend to high levels of care about the size of their junk, and there's not quite an equivalent concept for another topic. I mean, it's basically a way to call someone "insecure about things about yourself that you can't change or control, so you spend your time grasping at whatever material gains you can in order to try and have some semblance of Identity beyond those insecurities".

I thought Pathfinder kingmaker and Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous supported controllers? I haven't played them yet but intend to if I ever manage to put down bg3 (400 hours and 5.5 plays in, lmao)

I'm ok with not having access to the 1% of games out there that want to act like rootkits

That rock you've been living under must be getting heavy by now.

yeah, I saw his video and was glad to see the warnings - it was actually really helpful in my swap. It's because of him that I chose to just use my iFixit Pro Tech toolkit, and completely ignored the tools they included in the shell swap kit.

I used a hair dryer for heat, heating on its "high" and "slow" settings, just going around the edges for about 3-4 minutes, re-heated when it felt necessary.

iFixit's suction cup has a very nice handle that doesn't budge even with a fair bit of force, and I used the blue plastic triangle opening picks that come in the iFixit kit for the process of actually prying up the screen and severing the adhesive.

As a result, that process didn't scratch the black paint on the bezel, at all.

There's a 'hook' tool that comes in the kit (I think it's called the halberd spudger?), which I used to very carefully peel away the adhesive from the screen backing without scraping or even touching the paint. The adhesive strips just kinda stuck to the side of the hook and curled up.

I wouldn't say it was difficult, just nerve-wracking as I've never been successful with removing adhesive screens. The main thing, as Taki suggested, is just to be patient and not get in a hurry. So I'd say not hard, just slow.
