You’re absolutely correct. It’s lonely in an achingly beautiful way.

Yeah, as an American it’s disturbing and makes it hard to believe we can change things. You’ve described it very well.

I miss the heyday of both RuneScape and Guild Wars 1. Those were fantastic times.

Good

Eating pizza and watching the end of Summer Games Done Quick with the wife.

Definitely anything SuperGiant. Bastion, Hades, and Transistor are some of the only games I’ve actually finished, and the sound tracks are incredible.

Yeah, experiencing that is a horror I wouldn’t wish on anyone. That’s a true nightmare.

I don’t think having kids of my own is in my future, I hope I can live my life with enough intent and purpose to avoid this date. Thank you both for this thread, it’s gotten me thinking.

Waffle stomp gets me laughing every time in any context.

Great read, thanks for the link.

What are some good other options? I haven’t kept up with the advances with this stuff in a few years.

That’s a brilliant way to answer.

Great way of saying it. That has always bothered me as well.

I really enjoyed using MATLAB in school and it really helped with some of my graduate stuff. What scummy stuff are they up to? Any alternatives you’d recommend?

I switched my gaming PC to Linux two months ago and I’m loving it. I’ve only had to boot my Windows drive twice.

Idk sounds to me like you are the change we need. You’re investing your energy into the future without asking for selfish repayment. You’re good people. From my perspective you are still keeping that hope of a better future alive and burning, nurturing it in the hearts and minds of the young, allowing it to grow strong in a protected environment. You are EXACTLY what the world needs right now. So thank you Internet friend.

They are not talking about going to school but having people at the school do the dental work.

I switched to Mint this month and have only run into issues with anti-cheat. I’ve tried about 8 different games. Halo Infinite had some odd textures the first time I ran it, but not since.

All in all I’m very happy with my OS switch.

My positive experience with my Steam Deck got me to take the plunge and now I’m happily gaming on Mint.

Yeah, I don’t think “mentally ill people” only exist in specific places or that specific areas are “full” of them. I mean, I know for sure at least one deranged person lives in your area.

Also I highly doubt you truly worked in retail if you never experienced a customer like this. If you did, you must have been lucky and in an extremely high end store.

People are the same everywhere in the world, no better or worse than anywhere else. Which is kinda great IMO.
