Fan of breaking echo chambers by being devils advocate. Other than that, centrist. As in in USA I’d be considered left.

  • Doesn’t change shit. Epic is literally pumping out free games and what does it give it? Nothing. Because it’s store is straight up vile to use - no human feedback anywhere, the whole shit is suited for publishers to orchestrate however they see fit. Same shit applies to most online game stores. They are aimed at publishers, not gamers, and thus ignored by the latter.

    But hey, let’s look at two shops that are, slowly but surely, carving their part of the cake. GOG and Itch.io. What differentiates them? Both are trying to play with users. GOG with rescuing old games, dropping DRM as much as possible and working with other launchers and Itch by creating probably the biggest Indie publishing site ever. But Itch.io is niche and GOG is still lagging behind.







  • Friend got hit by a car when on bike, went flying, rolled over the car, smacked into the road.

    Got up, checked bike first, sighted and started dragging it’s carcass back home.

    …but to be honest, dude was kinda indestructible and totally the exemption in every dangerous situaiton.

    When I was a teen, I noticed something adults missed quite often, yet pointing it out before the fact would be ignored cause “adults are talking” and after the fact would get everyone pissed because “don’t be a smartass”.

    Now I am faced with “In your age it’s yoo late to start learnin x” and “You still need more experience in life, kid”

    People gotta dyscriminate on age or they’ll get stressed I guess. The worst case for me was a coworker that was like 2 years older, but the way I behave makes me seem younger I am so I got hit with both anti-young and anti-old banter by him X_x

    I don’t get it. Judge opinion, idea or perfomance, not it’s source.



  • Livin where it was an actual thing - they actually “paid” in the form of counting returned power as borrowed. So when you powered the grid, supplier counted energy you supplied and then promised to return the same amount when you needed.

    They backed off of it but my friend caught that version and he was pretty hyped about it. Even when his solar panels will die, he’s gonna be set for at least next decade on that payment lol.
