"Given the chance, gamers will optimize out the fun"
This is the same about real life when statistics apply to everything.
This is why I decided to ignore any rule that anyone else would self impose or to others.
You have to realize that the others are not living your life, you are.
Who cares if you arent the best, the brightest, the wisest.
Do what makes you happy. Be silly, be cringe, be angry, be sad.
What matters is that you live a good life by your own standards. The world will dissapear when your conciousness will fade away, so why let numbers, humans, or ideas stand in your way from living the life you would have lived as a cave man, an artist, a farmer or whatever?
Comparaison is the thief of joy. So think less, and live more.
You can reason yourself into despair, or irrationally rise above it. What do you choose?
Would it help if i told you that you are staring at meat?
Sure hes a man, or woman, but first and foremost meat.
Sometimes this meat yells, sometimes this meat looks at you.
But lets all keep in mind, ladies and gentlemen, that any interlocutor be it beast or man is just meat.
You probably cooked meat also, just saying.
So take your time admiring the meat, stare in what it thinks it's soul is in, his personal comfort be damned!
Just dont take this advice as an excuse to dehumanise this person of course, as I heard some meats hold a scary skeleton within.
But hey, you cant see that most of the time, its meatgavanza for now!
Make it clear that your supervisor is trapped in your conversation, not the other way around.
When you have to be professional, be professional.
But the rest of the time, talk about the dirt between the planks of wood at home. Talk about the sedimentation process of your aquarium's gravel. Basically the moste innate and boring topics that no normal human would bring up, repeated ad nauseam.
Make sure to take long pauses just to resume talking. Remember to take your time while monopolizing the conversation trying to find a word your forgot about.
Remember to mispronounce every word, especially if he corrects you but be sure to keep plausible deniability just in case he accuses you of doing it on purpose.
Remember to always blame everything on something that has no connection to it.
Remember to enrich your diet with garlic, to use terrible flavored candy or just skipping a meal for extra word flavor, if you can take the reputation hit.
Remember the magical phrase: "that reminds me of" and all variants of it.
Remember to look into his eyes, and to alternate between them and another part of his face as if something is wrong with it. Keep affirming that everything is alright while staring at that part.
Change the subject. All the time.
Have terribly strong inconsequential opinions and remind about them all the time.
Monopolize the conversation, but make him want to cut you off or talk. I
IMPORTANT : If the other party is silent, state how comfortable you are with this silent friendship.
You can balance flavors if you add the right counter flavor, like something that tastes too much like fat can be balanced with more salt, sugar with more acid, tbh I dont remember the combos as I dont really do things intentionally when I cook anymore but it blew my mind when I first learned about this.
I think realising when to back off doing what Im doing because im putting off another task.
I feel like since I started taking breaks between activities to let my mind "reset" has helped me transition to more boring tasks.
Im constantly watching films, listening to podcasts or music, so I have to take like a small 3-5 minutes of silence to unload what I was doing before loading in what I need to do.
Also taking this time is not at all wasting it. Ive become mindfull about how much "waste" ive been "doing" and stopped keeping it against myself so its been way more liberating.
When you do that, its easier to justify schedualing, and not keep cranking the productivity knob to the max to make up for time.
Finally, I try to make things pretty, to get back to it with lesser resistance, like coding better looking functions, writing less hurriedly, cleaning my instruments for cooking etc with more minutia but taking my time with it.
Also, I stopped trying to multitask stuff to the extreme. I refuse to listen to music while im reading, I refuse to watch a movie and study, watching a stream and gaming at the same time.
This seems like obvious stuff, so the TLDR is take your time, don't find ways to blame yourself but concentrate on how to move on.
And take breaks ppl, we are not robots.
See, i love linux but in no world would i ever even be remotely tempted to download it for my relatives, its just not idiot proof enough for end users, who will never ever make the effort to learn.
Ok after a bit of using, i can confirm that wayland crashes pretty often especially on firefox, also gaming performance degrades over time (still looking into it)
Dowloaded it, its not perfect but the hdr makes it worth it so im backing away from x11. Im getting slight fps drops that dont seem to relate to the steam fps counter.
I heard it messes with mozilla firefox, but havent seen much evidence.
Great update hope they catch the last things as well, i might be paranoid for the slight chopiness, since im playing cyberpunk and that game still has alot of problems even at the end of its lifecycle.
Perfectly understandable. Any anti cheat is a big nono on this system. But tbh, i am so much more relaxed after stopping league i consider it a bonus guardrail XD
So does your lawyer have to be vegan too or nah
