Which reminds me. I can’t even move the taskbar to the left of the screen anymore since windows 11 was forced upon me. Pffft.

I encounter quicks and weirdnesses on the windows laptop for work, which won’t even fucking properly sleep or don’t fucking update by itself even after trying to stop it for a while, rather than on Linux.
Can you name any such quirks and annoyances on Linux specifically? Because I can give you plenty on windows, while Linux the past 10 years or so maintains my sanity.

Yes. It bothers me.

It bothers me that it is high energy to small energy.

No. How can you know that you are not mature by yourself? You will obviously believe that you are, even if you are not.
22 old for boys is not generally mature. He could be the exception, I guess, but I would not ask on Lemmy for such important life decisions if I would consider myself to be mature anyway.
Try thinking about it in 10 years when you are 32. You will have more life experience by then, will know better what you want to do, and see if you remain with this partner or have changed your mind or hera has changed. Boys at that age obviously don’t think about starting a family, but are just horny. Older guys or especially women might start thinking about settling down a decade from now.
Just wear protection until then.

You mean Gnu/Linux etc.
- Comment on RPGs that are optionally pacifist? 1 month ago:
Planescape Torment yes can be pacifist-ed, except for killing a zombie at the very beginning of the game.
Then again, killing/death is a bit strange in this game, so…
- Comment on Ukraine ‘Suspends’ Vital Mine Ban Treaty 1 month ago:
Eh. If Russia is using them and Ukraine has been refraining so far, it’s probably a you-gotta-do-what-you-gotta-do situation for ytem.
I guess if they are used defensively on Ukrainian ground, then can keep maps of where they are deployed to disarm them afterwards, since it is to their best interest anyway because the purpose of the treaty would have been to protect Ukrainian civilians in this case anyway. So if Russia is ignoring the treaty, the treaty does not offer luch to Ukraine anyway and is more like a handicap. So I guess I get why they went for it…

- Comment on It's not supposed to make sense... 3 months ago:
When you perform the measurement on which slit the particle passes through, then the measuring device is also part of the system and it affects it. The measurement reduces the degrees of freedom in the system so there are no longer two equivalent ways for the particle to pass through the slits (either A or B), but rather you now have a measured slit and an unmeasured slit. Since there are no longer multiple ways to achieve the same result, the is no longer interference due to equivalent probabilities.
Matt Stassler has a nice series of blog posts on this.

Of it’s raid6 it’s 320tb or so.

I don’t think it’s an equivalent comparison. If you judge McDonald’s for their nutrition value, I’m sure all will agree they are crap and this is something that is objective and scientific.
There are people though that say they like McDonald’s and buy their food, and people that don’t like it and stay away. This is the subjective part. Musical taste is like your taste in McDonald’s. Some like McDonald’s, some like Mikki Minaj, for their own whatever reason. And it’s fine that they like it. It is their taste. It doesnt have to have artistic merit for them to like it, similar to how McDonald’s doesn’t have to have nutritious value for them to like it.

I guess that could be in theory, but I would assume that would just lead to a visit in his home rather than a ban of his account.

Probably said something bad about their current dictator.

Nah, music is subjective. I’m sure your music is dogshit to him as well.

The is a Greek sub, with a few news posts daily, but noone is really commenting yet.
I had left the Greek sub on Reddit a few years back because the mods were assholes, so I don’t really miss a Greek sub to be honest.

Huh that’s interesting, thanks for letting me know. I’ll check it out.
- Comment on Is there something similar to the old Might and Magics? 7 months ago:
Thanks, I’ll give it a go then.
- Comment on Is there something similar to the old Might and Magics? 7 months ago:
Thank you Barony seems quite interesting, and I’ll keep it in mind. For the current moment, though, I would like to scratch an itch of something with a proper campaign instead of a roguelike. But seems up my alley for later.
- Comment on Is there something similar to the old Might and Magics? 7 months ago:
This sounds great, I will look for it and give it a try! Thank tou.

Legend of grimrock cannot be paused, can it?
I had seen it getting played, but somehow I think this turns me off. Optional pausing for issuing commands would be perfect, but real time only would be too stressing I believe.
But I’m willing to try if recommended enough.

I do. Thanks, I’ll give it a go once a clear a little backlog.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 7 months ago:
Eh, it is not a genre by itself, I was referring to roguelike as more of an archetype of short, repeating game loops that have progression by unlocking things and increasing difficulty.
As for the genre itself, you can have many different types of games. As I said, slay the spire is probably the best deck building game, monster train is similar in some ways but is more tower-defense like and more combo-y, slice and dice is tactical dice-based, Brotato is more arcade-y rpg-like combat. Hades is tactical arcade combat, but needs two hands. Balatro is poker-card-based combo-y puzzle. Dungeons of dredmor is a bit older but very fun actual Rogue-like game. Caves of Qud is similar but very complex and deep and harder. Inscription is another fun card-based game, but is more of an one-off mysterious experience rather than repeatable a lot.
You can certainly find something that interests you.

Is tales good? I have got it some years ago, never got to starting it yet. But seemed interesting.
