It’s true. When I get lumbar pain, I shiver thinking of the lush hanging gardens of Babylon. When my tailbone gets crushed by hours upon hours of sitting, I remember the might of the Temple of Diana and think myself lucky to even sit next to her -figuratively.

Who doesn’t use them ? the only user of a standing desk that I know besides me (got it two years ago now) was a coworker, a programmer who used it on the daily. I don’t see why you wouldn’t use it, it’s so much better in practice. Perhaps you need to have experienced long hours at the desk in an intensive IT role before you jump. That’s certainly what drew me to get one

It’s a metroidvania of sorts, it’s great from a game mechanic standpoint (lots of ways to beat the game, lots of possible builds for your character), but you do feel very lonely throughout it. The environments manage to stay more or less varied given the fact that you’re on a space sation, and the art direction is fantastic.

If it means the same as in french, convalescence is the period of time after an illness during which one recovers. Coalescence would be the action of joining/merging things
btw I never really got the ending of Bioshock Infinite, so your explanation is welcome. It felt a bit masturbatory to me at the time. It doesn’t help that I didn’t really enjoy the game itself, contrary to the previous two

oh, nice. I like getting high and playing surprising games, it usually makes the experience even more pleasant. But I never did LSD, and I’m not sure I could handle it. How does it affect playing something like Stanley Parable ?

Open a public dinosaur museum somewhere in the swiss alps, with european safety measures and a properly compensated sysadmin. The european union pays for the whole thing while ticket money goes to a research fund. There’s also a backup power grid for the t-rex enclosure. See, it’s not hard.
