The #2 regret of the dying is “I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.”
I reached a point and just stopped pursuing more. I have just as much as I need to coast along and that’s enough for me. This may not apply in the same way if you have responsibility to your spouse or children, but if you’re on your own, you set your own standard of living. Don’t ask more of yourself than you actually need. You don’t benefit from it.

I can’t imagine buying something with the mindset wrapped around what someone else in the future might think it’s worth. If I’m buying it, I might as well like it. This is such a sad way to view the world.

Watching NakeyJakey’s video on competitive shooters put into perspective how hard it really is. I knew I wasn’t cut out for it, but that just demonstrated how not cut out for it I was.

Considering the competition starts at $60 and doesn’t have touchpads, back buttons or a dedicated wireless receiver, I’d say it’s pretty reasonable.

Most recent example was Horizon 6. 4 and 5 run without a hitch and the world looked really promising. Made it over the first crest of a hill and crashed every time. Tons of missing textures in the 7 seconds of gameplay I got to see.
I refunded it and got 007 instead and I think I’m having more fun with that than I would have with Horizon anyway.

I’ve been eternally cursed by the “it should just work”, especially in the world of Linux. For every game that launches fine with no support listed, there’s another that lists Steam Deck compatibility and I can’t even make it to the loading screen.
I’ve tried half a dozen OSs with Proton over the years at this point and every time I turn the corner after explaining my setup, someone whips around telling me my entire setup was never going to work in the first place and I should have been using this stack instead.
I’m just tired, so usually, I’ll put about 30 minutes of effort of trying random bullshit from ProtonDB before realizing my time is worth more than troubleshooting a video game.

This is me 15 minutes before refunding a game due to compatibility issues on Proton.

Yeah, I heard about this and completely ignored it. Until someone pulls me aside and tells me I’m flashing a hate symbol, I’m giving the okay. And even then, I’d only change my behavior for that one person. No way am I changing a 25±year habit for some fascist culturally appropriating fucks.

I just reread it last month and it holds up quite well. The sense of panic in the opening chapters is palpable.

- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
I really struggle with books that sound like a narration and much prefer them when I feel like they’re in the room telling me the story. I’ve found it much easier to find this in young adult fiction compared to adult novels.
Some examples of books that hooked me right away asa kid and I read in a month or less:
- Holes
- Hatchet
- The Call of the Wild
- My Side of the Mountain
- Percy Jackson and the Olympians
- Artemis Fowl

Or on a t-shirt, too I guess. I’ve considered getting a print done with the message “You can say fuck on a t-shirt”

It also helps to be a soulless husk with no regard for human decency.

I used to play trumpet in high school and I wish I could get back into it, but apartment living has prevented the dream so far.

These companies are straight up allergic to selling a product that doesn’t massively invade privacy anymore. What I would give for some HUD-only glasses.
