- Comment on Men over 30, what do you keep in your bedside nightstand? 2 weeks ago:
Hmmm… Mostly a full bottle of water, rest of the space is for my phone and glasses when I go to sleep, in the morning the same space is reused for a mug full of coffee.

And here, right in the middle of the wild internet jungle vastness, we can observe a very interesting specimen. They are prepared well enough for interactions and don’t seek a vent point for illusory vengeances or endless technicalities on every possible occasion; their skillful bag of tricks contains open mindednesses and respectful responses. They can commit their energy to this hard process of making the day of the entire herd easier and more positive. Look at them go!

- Comment on It must confuse English learners to hear phrases like, "I'm home", instead of "I am at home." We don't say I'm school, or I'm post office. 3 weeks ago:
For me it always just felt very close to “I am here” / “I am done” / “I am late” / “I am fine” — not as description of a place but state.
All the quirks, weirdnesses and exceptions are the best / most fun parts of any language. Close second, how it constantly evolves and where the words originated from.
- Comment on Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah… as remasters/remakes go, this would be one of my favorites just right next to Crash Bandicoot series and New ‘n’ Tasty Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee. Oh! Tetris Effect kinda sorta fits in this group too.
All of those titles deserved some new generation graphics and polish, none of them lost their fun value, vibe or overall quality in the process. Plus there is no need to emulate anything, no crack-mod-tango, so bonus points for making some of the best games ever created widely accessible.
If one day, any studio would put the same amount of effort into Driver series or Remedy would go full nostalgia and re-do the Max Payne series — oops… I think, I ventured too deep into fantasy lands here.

I am a simple man… Some Stardew Valley — I try to visit my farm every so often, a little THPS1+2 action when it’s raining lately and I am waiting for a perfect / slow morning to tackle Gorogoa.

There should be a special division in all patenting offices called Burning With fire ™

Face… maybe sometimes. Sounds tho… and is anyone else often having shivers at the beginning or during?

Same unfortunately goes for a big chunk of the law on a global scale… Constant progress, new possibilities and technologies, changes in general are really outpacing some dusted and constantly abused solutions. Every second goes by and any “somehow still holding” relic is under more pressure. As a species we can have some really great ideas but the long-term planning or future-proofing is still not our strongest suit.
- Comment on First game you played 3 months ago:
Let me take a personal spin on that question.
This wasn’t the first game that I played but it was the first game that I PLAYED. It really got me, made me draw stuff from the game, scratch my head and glued me to the screen.
My little brain melted from not understanding. The bitterness of every mistake and death was sprinkled by some mysterious force with the most magical feeling of solving the next level. This game explained by the example how games can be and are amazing. Before it, I just enjoyed the fun aspects of playing but here I was gaming and every level felt like a real achievement.
Now, when I think about it, this game made me skip building with LEGO for some time.
Oh, the title? Gobliiins.
First, first? Some bootleg version of Tetris.

For me, this is what works best now:
Librewolf

uBlock Origin
-
CanvasBlocker

raindrop.io not as an extension but a pinned tab, mostly for convenience to keep my saved websites and articles in one place, if anyone knows anything better, or more useful, or open source, let me know

- Comment on Detroit Become Human - The game wished me happy new year 4 months ago:
For now, my favorite one was for Christmas — “On behalf of CyberLife I want to wish you very happy holidays. I hope Santa will bring you a CyberLife android soon!”.
This is one of the better thought through and well designed game menus, or even menu experience — perfectly fitting for the general game vibe.
- Comment on Adobe abandons $20 billion acquisition of Figma 5 months ago:
Yeah, major bullet dodged there. Just when I started actually appreciating Figma and heard about the Adobe plans, I automatically felt like I just need to hate Figma to not get used to it too much — just in case.
Affinity is great and gets better, Figma stays great and gets better, for now at least, all fine with me. No Adobe logo anywhere in sight — good news for me.
