  • How’s being weak bad?

    That’s the true fallacy being put into our minds here. Some people are strong and some are weaker. I think solidarity is a great thing and we should help each other out.

    If some people are not made for working as much we should let them. Leave them be. You work your ass off all you want if you like. Both is fine.

    Let people love their own lives and don’t judge.

    People are born different. We should make a world where everyone can live decently.

    I like steam. They are a good pro customer company.

    As a developer steam isn’t as nice. They use their dominant market share which is close to a monopoly to take large cuts from developers. Even smaller ones.

    They also disallow selling the game lower elsewhere.

    But among large gaming companies they are still easily one of the best.

    What they did for Linux is huge.

    I hope when gave leaves we won’t all be fucked royally and be reminded why a monopoly is bad.

    So overall positive but conflicted.


  • Like many adults I just got recently diagnosed in my mid 30s.

    For me it was that I can’t have adhd because I was good at school and uni. Then I completely fell apart when I entered work.

    I had to go through depression and burn out and bore out and more. Eventually someone said I could have adhd and just been able to deal due to high IQ.

    Turns out that’s what it was. I’m really good at learning new stuff. So school and uni. I really suck at repeating the same shit all day. So work. Welp. Helps to know.

    Same.

    Also I get to share my hobbies with them. We got a d&d group, we paint minis and play video games together. Which is stuff I’d do anyways.

    I also picked up inline skating as my kids do that all the time and just standing there while they skate was boring.

    Plus I still got hobbies as does my wife. Yes there is less time but we have each other’s backs so everyone can have some time for their own interests like once or twice a week.






  • It’s either obsession or bust for me. But that’s with everything in life almost.

    Currently obsessed with silk song too. But then it could end any second.

    I didn’t game any video for almost two years prior. Like at all. Excitement suddenly gone.

    I went into board games and trading cards instead. It’s really annoying sometimes to lose interest after so much investment of time and money and emotion.

    Brain is weird man.
