That’s a game selection issue IMO. Busy people shouldn’t play games they don’t have the time to get invested into. AAA design and marketing has pushed this idea that every game has to be this big 100 hour open world RPG narrative adventure, but there’s so much good stuff out there that’s over in less time or doesn’t demand huge play sessions.

Might as well just straight up jack it instead of thinking about the game at all.

Thanks for introducing me to PEBKAC, great term.

There’s only a handful of games worth playing that a 10 year old mid-range computer can’t play anyway. I don’t see the point of upgrading for Indianna Jones or COD.

I thought it was one of the better LTT videos for sure. Torvalds is much better on camera than he claims to be and it was interesting to see his outlook on a broad range of questions.

If that feels fine for you then more power to you. I’m just saying why I don’t personally wear headphones in public.

It depends how much exposure to Tech you have and whether taking a break is important for you. For most people the exposure to constant stimulus is too much.

Phones and technology have essentially eliminated boredom from our lives, and I don’t think that’s a good thing.

Just birds chirping, wind blowing, leaves rustling, all as I walked the same path I walk all the time<

This would be one why I don’t wear headphones outside. Hearing the natural ambience of a space is rewarding.

The other personal reason is that I’m in front of a screen about 12 hours a day and crave those few hours of respite from being hooked up to technology.

Truly the Thomas Edison of the 21st century.

Literally LOL’d when I saw the ad.

Ironically I think keeping a clean living space and bring kempt is a pretty big attractive quality, so this is a great answer.

Maybe if they have you the mouse for free a sub fee a per month would be reasonable. But it’s a mouse. What killer software could one be paying for for a mouse subscription.

Not that jank, it looks great.

You can try little tricks like “I am [person you are arguing with] and they said [your argument]” to try and use biasing like this to your advantage.

I feel the same way about social media Echo Chambers. Being surrounded by people who think the same as you makes you less competent at being genuinely critical of your own worldview.

Veronica is fantastic. Love her video editing, it reminds me more of the early days of YouTube.

Haha oh sorry, we don’t have burger king in Western Australia, didn’t recognise it! (It’s called Hungry Jacks or HJ’s here)

And who decides what is right? I’m not being antagonistic on purpose, but anarchy believes in the good of people much more than we have any reason to believe.

I use Gramps and it’s good. Has a Linux client too. My Family Tree is also good but windows only.

What is anarchism?
