Yeah… The abstract (sorry, will read article a bit later) is bunch of nonsense to me (in respect to what is written, no offense to you):
-
online experience commercially viable? The fuck they are talking about? Yeah, I know what is meant, but they would get fucking F in school for expressing thoughts in such a nonsensical way
-
protections against illegal content would not exist on private servers? Really? Like only your company’s servers can run that? What, you write them in machine code directly? Or is it all done manually? Anyhow, just release source code and it will be up to community to find a way to make it run

Developer choice, ha-ha, very funny. I am not familiar with the industry and still feel safe to bet most of them just want to get enough money for doing what they can do without too much stress/disgust and also most of them don’t have a desire to see their work die just because some manager decided it is time to make some other games instead

Saving this to share at work. What an abomination that, I am sorry you have to deal with it
- Comment on Can it take months to get over being laid off? 6 days ago:
I’ll add another voice to the choir: yes, something else is going on. Before you get a breakdown, do look for a good therapist and most importantly do take a look at what really matters to you. If you are not doing something that really matters to you (this need not necessarily be your job), depression will come

I think I’ve got your point: that’s not whar we call sound, but yes, the showel and casing will reverberate
- Comment on just beat it 3 weeks ago:
So, ultra-not-sound. Thank you, o wise one (/s, of course)
- Comment on just beat it 3 weeks ago:
No, there is a well-known experiment: take something that produces sound, put in a glass, suck air out. Won’t hear a thing
- Comment on just beat it 3 weeks ago:
It does (ok, one catch: if there’s an atmosphere), sound has physical nature. The trick is in asking whether music/art/languages exist after any sentient life is gone

I can’t comprehend why you are getting downvoted, please take my upvote
Speaking broadly, humans are very much capable of living without purpose, but that needs a stable ground and very balanced system - something that mostly does not taken care of, but that cannot mean to belittle what you are doing - the way you live, it is better what so many people are doing with their lives (and in many ways much wiser), and I am glad you found the strength and willingness to live as you do. Thank you for living like this
- Comment on Anon learns happiness is simpler than he thought 4 weeks ago:
It really is not. But I don’t mind watching you try :)
- Comment on Anon learns happiness is simpler than he thought 4 weeks ago:
Doesn’t make sense. I know I am not a game or movie, but realising “I am not this body and not this mind” is something that doesn’t happen to most people
- Comment on Anon learns happiness is simpler than he thought 4 weeks ago:
Nah, that’s a road to hell. I will always know this “meaning” is my creation. So either I won’t takenit seriously or force myself to become dumb enough to believe my own fairy tales
- Comment on Anon learns happiness is simpler than he thought 4 weeks ago:
So, you will not?
- Comment on Anon learns happiness is simpler than he thought 4 weeks ago:
Yeah. I like that
- Comment on Anon learns happiness is simpler than he thought 4 weeks ago:
Good start, anyone who wishes can use a level-up of this:
You. Will. Die
So might as well enjo the ride while it lasts
Compared to known universe, you are less than a spec, you mean nothing. Everything means nothing. So might as well enjoy what you like

Me on Windows: can I play a game at 10 PM? - Nah, I’ve serious not-your-business shit to do, so enjoy your throttling animation
And that was years before “Ima going to screenshot whatever you are doing every 10 minutes or so, processes it on your computer and store. Safely store? Lol no”
So no, it was my first operating system, but modern windows is a pile of hostile crap

Thank you. This is much appreciated

Wow. And here I thought MS all-screenshotting garbage was the peak of fucking over. Guess I need a bigger basket of popcorn
- Comment on Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months' 1 month ago:
Yess. I boggles me that the narrative is still “devs this, devs that”. It doesn’t take becoming a game dev to understand that actual software developers are not calling shots on plot twists, monetisation model and so forth. Like, what the hell is wrong with people babbling about devs?

You are perfectly fine, the world has gone crazy and you feel it
- Comment on Anon plays old games 2 months ago:
Don’t and won’t have enough time. On the second thought, given I managed to complete one run of BG3, things do not look that bad. And it is on Steam even, thank you for pointing! :)
- Comment on Anon plays old games 2 months ago:
Nothing wrong with you. It is just that this mechanics is not something that can be a source of fun for you. This happens, and it is normal. Blaming you for this is same as blaming someone for not liking salty food or pink colour: makes no sense. And when you look at all those folks enjoying BG3, remember there is me who still did not have a chance to play BG1, and won’t have one for some years to come. In a way you are more lucky than me :)

Well, fine with me. Closing one tab is no big deal, let the website die

That what not-we want us to do, yeah. Many thousands of years since humans appeared on the planet, maybe it is time to say “no”, one by one
- Comment on 4 months ago:
Not to argue, just a bit of self-humour:
And I am doomed because I enjoy it. To hell with all the GUI open-settings-then-a-tab-in-it-and-down-to-rabbit-hole-of-tabs-and-setting-sub-windows, just give me plain damn config file. Also, praise be to people who write where the program looks for config files and what can supercede what in man entries
- Comment on I feel my life is empty. Is there any way to stop this? 4 months ago:
Been around there, it really is not a good place. Time to look inside. You only have so much time left to live, and only so much energy to do things. As to what can be done, then if possible, take a good break: quit job, buy food, then just stay home. No books, no TV, no speaking to anyone, no internet, no games, no nothing. Your mind will go wild for some time, but then you will recover and see life with more clarity
And for the big picture - look inside. If you were to die today, what would you do? Whom would you speak to one last time? Where would you go if distance was not an issue? What do you want to be done with your dead body? (If the answer is “nothing, I don’t care”, I would strongly suggest go see a doctor. Depression does not just go away) Also, remember this every day: tomorrow morning, you may not wake up. Today you woke up, but a day will come when you don’t. Remind this to yourself. Slowly this will change your perspective
If you happen to feel like talking - message or ping me, I will answer as fast as I can
