There’s no need to ever move out from your parents if the living situation is positive for all of you. I truly believe that the pressure to be “independent” is a coordinated strategy to keep people separate so everyone has to buy their own set of everything. It maximizes profit for big corporations and landlords.

I have only managed to convince ONE person to watch Neon Genesis Evangelion, tragically, because it’s my favorite tv show of all time.

Because to companies, labor is just a business expense, you’re a cost to be kept low so they can please investors/shareholders. Our system isn’t for your average worker, it’s for the people who own the businesses.

I’ve always gone through games and genres as phases, and what I’m playing has always reflected something about the amount of time/energy I have for games. I used to play a lot of souls games, but played them so much that the charm is completely gone for me now. They’re intense and require a lot of focus, focus I used to have a lot more of when I wasn’t working so much. As a teen I played a lot of multiplayer shooters like COD or Battlefield, then during college I was playing CSGO, later on I even dabbled in valorant. But, again, I don’t have time for that anymore. If you can’t grind and practice for hours every day, you fall behind and can’t compete, so I play a lot more singleplayer stuff now, like Ace Attorney, Baldur’s Gate 3, Genshin Impact, stuff like that.

I feel like it’s hit-or-miss. A lot of people will zipper merge, but a lot of other people don’t care and mess things up.

I do not believe, at all, that linux needs to grow. We don’t need to appeal to every casual pc user, because for most of these people what they are using already works just fine for them - and if they don’t already have the drive to learn about and try linux on their own, there’s no reason to shove it in their faces.

Never have, never will.

I really don’t have a place or space to display them, so they sit in a bin on a small shelf w/ my other retro game stuff. I’ve never minded the lack of spine labels since I’ve always had them in bins, haha. There’s even some hidden gems on the platform!

Nintendo 64 games.
It was the first game console I really played much of growing up. I’d go to my dads on the weekends and he had it there, so it was this magical time, playing Ocarina of Time and Mario Kart 64. I’ve collected nearly all the games I grew up with, as well as some I never played as a kid. I like having it, knowing that at any time I can play them, in their original forms on hardware. Emulation is great but playing on hardware just hits different.

I’m getting the vibe that it’s been developed with full knowledge that it’s going to be a commercial flop, and they’re just hoping to at least not lose money. Feels like the developer had a contract to make a live service game w/ the IP so they’re just chugging it out. Obviously not sure though.

Nobody is going to buy this I don’t get why they’re pushing it

I shop at grocery outlet and ultimately eat very little.

I’m not sure who yet, but I will be voting for a third-party candidate.

I fundamentally draw the line at voting for any candidate that funds genocide like joe. The two party system is broken.

A lot of games increase difficulty by just turning up HP and attack numbers, and part of the fun of souls games is that that’s really not how they handled difficulty.

I dislike Trump as much as the rest of us but this isn’t a place for slurs

Cats aren’t dogs. The best way to get the results you want with a cat is positive reinforcement and redirection. Punishment does not and will not work, it will actually worsen whatever behaviors you’re trying to stop. Feeding at a consistent time can help, but your cat is a kitten, give it some time and he’ll chill out.

Half the population is literally CHILDREN.
You might also want to consider why, in the first place, any of them would support Hamas? Israel started this, it’s always been an attempted genocide.

Final Fantasy VII. I was never able to beat the sephiroth boss fight. I enjoyed the story, but I don’t feel the need to play it again.

I think that the linux desktop has improved dramatically every year, but there are issues as well. This really isn’t unique to linux though, no OS out there fulfills every user’s needs (and in the case of linux, there are so many different people/groups with different philosophies making distros, that it can be super hit or miss). I’ve had my fair share of normal updates breaking the system, or installing ubuntu and getting booted straight to the tty since it didn’t ship with nvidia drivers at the time. Even now, when I run an update, I have to manually delete the updated nvidia driver and manually downgrade to the old one because I simply get a black screen with the new one.
The issues are always managable, fixable, but I think that they do make linux very difficult for people without the time or understanding to troubleshoot the problem.
But, when I was on windows I had plenty of things break there too, ads in the start menu, that sluggishness that windows always seems to get if you don’t do a fresh install every year or two. I had a game that would crash on boot if I had my USB headset plugged in. And of course, updates breaking the system randomly.

The issues you seem to be having aren’t normal, and while I’m tempted to blame Ubuntu, I’m not sure. Ubuntu makes some really strange choices, I feel, and did cause me more issues than other distro’s I’ve tried.
But really the core of what I’m saying is that depending on your use case, linux might suck, but it can also be far better than other OS’s.
