If you had said ‘I can’t do it, I have been trying that for two weeks’.

I would have said ‘going great, keep on it’

Your fingers need to harden to play more than punk rock.

I know a lot of people that have started with Metallica - Nothing Else Matters.

So much so that it’s locally almost corny.

That was more a comment on obfuscation of the net. In internet you can just trow adjectives together and somebody will raise their hand, but you can never be sure if they are just putting on a role.

personally

Everyone is everything in the internetz.

Never personally met an atheist that had found religion or heard about one, other than in American evangelical stories, but I’ve met a few non-religions people who have later in life found religion. Although I live in a quite atheaistic country, so there is a lack of peer pressure or need to talk about such things.

I even remember this as coin slot machine at a local arcade. It had trackballs as controllers. Truly unique.

These were godly at the time, but due to storytelling, modding community and mission editors. Flight model and combat mechanics were little too “Wing Commnder” even back then. Todays space pilots would need something more in line with Elite Dangerous, Helium Rain and Star Citizen.

Local culture is not touchy feely, but we have no problem being naked around strangers in sauna/spa environment.

Kinda goes against capitalism. Planned obsolescence has been around for a long time and if somebody goes against it, they will be removed by the big players.

More to the sides, but yes.

I’ve got vulcan eyebrows

Summer for the exact opposite reason. In winter it’s -10 to -30ºC and the sun doesn’t come up for two months. Absolute bullshit. I don’t even do winter sports.

If US finally gets its second civil war, its really easy to pick who goes in to the mass graves. You can just use an algorithm.

Same goes for the rest of the world. If ever occupied by Russia, you can be sure you’ll be “calling Zelenskyi” on a daily basis for every anti-Russian post you ever made.

C64 -> MS-DOS 3 -> 4DOS -> Win 95 -> Win 2000 -> Debian -> Ubuntu -> chaotic smattering of various distros that changed almost weekly -> Mint -> Arch -> Manjaro -> MXLinux -> SteamOS (SteamDeck), Rasbian.

There are always exceptions. I’ve got few geezers as steam friends, but I’ve met much more 50+ colleagues who laugh at me for telling I’m a gamer.

Fuck yeah! If you throw enough legos at nurses you also get sedatives.

Maybe not yet, but soon. I’m a member of the first gaming generation. I started with C64 and various ‘standolone one game hand consoles’ that Nintendo built back then before NES.

One thing you have to understand is that in the 80’s males older than me thought gaming was for children only. Only childish nerds were interested about such things. “Cool” kids feared they’d get socially ostracized if caught using a computer, let alone playing video games.

This attitude is still quite strong in 50+ and fact that we revert back as we get old makes it worse. From their perspective it’s same as giving then shitload of legos/dublos to build stuff and they will resent you for insulting their dignity.

I think in 20 years PCs and consoles will be basic hardware for nursing homes.

Musk knows something unrelated that’s gonna bring down Teslas stock and this is how he’s gonna exploit it?

It’ll be opt-in, till it isn’t.
