That game looks cool, even ambitious! Thank you for suggesting it. I won't have access to it any time soon, but it will certainly earn a place in my backlog.

I honestly do prefer the problem solving process on Linux. Solving problems on a Windows desktop is finding a tutorial with instructions to click (as the best case scenario), which may or may not be up to date. Clicking the right fields takes up a lot of attention, somehow. I find command line and text file stuff to be clearer a lot of time and you can build up some conceptual understanding over time, even if the tools could be better without legacy cruft. E.g. bash is not a fine programming language, Unix commands are needlessly cryptic ('cp' instead of 'copy' and 'mv' instead of 'move' or 'rename' kinda suck. But learning basic command line usage made me way more efficient and it was also fun.

I'm very ok with newer titles, I'm just impossibly out of date with gaming! Just didn't have the machines to stay up to date for 10 years. But my pov is that late 90's to early 00's was a special period for stories, especially in RPG's. Maybe it's parochial but it's my pov.

It's different though. You see, when things suck in Windows, you have to use it, but when things suck on Linux, you get to use it!

That's great to hear. I have struggled with poor parental relations myself, though they have improved after they've accepted some of my personal boundaries.

What I like about jstpst is that

1. it's public
2. it's dynamic enough that I can actually contribute to - that is, post on to - it easily.
3. I don't need to write a blog to get my thoughts out.
4. Its design is clean (if unexciting)
5. it has new content everyday but not too much.
6. I have also customized its style to my liking - a lot actually, basically transformed it - so it's pleasant to use.

Hope it went alright!

Custom themes my friend. Hop on the Saturn Valley theme for the optimal experience.

The first echidna to join the fandom is already fucking dead.

It's especially tragic when you consider that there was never a rule banning dogs from playing baseball.

Tbh it's true that there are/were scolding social justice oriented people who were what the term originally referred to before it got taken up by the right wing, the current bête noire of critical race theory is like an order of magnitude more removed from reality.

I used that today and woah

My personal record!

I only believe in real computers with wheely wheelies. Instead of this fake '1' and '0' shit!

Even more a reason to revisit it!

I resent how the pandemic finally made QR-codes into a Real Thing, real Milhouse is Forced Meme situation.

You know what? As a kiddo in Finland, my family (and our immediate neighbors) were one of the few to see Cartoon Network at all so I have childhood nostalgia not generally shared with my fellow countrypeeps. After CN stopped airing (and we children should have been in bed), the channel occasionally aired sumo wrestling which was so cool. Everything's better when it's bigger.

The royal family is such that I am in favor of its abolition in principle and in practice I'd rather treat them like they were already gone.

Expand the list if necessary.

Reading Danish is so weird from Swedish as a second language perspect

People say that the problem with the contemporary internet is that the truth is paywalled and lies are free. True to an extent, but problem with contemporary googling is that answers are on Discord and the rest is Pinterest.

If it in the billions territory, it will absolutely have fallout for the less well off and the scammees include like farmers in Africa. Also I appreciate reading about clueless millionaires and consider it a social good that they get written about.

I just love how my brain, on some subconscious level, totally buys that this is one episode in a real old stop motion animation series.

What's your Japanese learning history been like? I've been thinking of whether to learn German or Japanese next and my main worry with the latter is its writing system, but, I mean, here you are working on it.

I do not worry about getting to the end of literacy if I pursue Japanese, like reading novels and such, but whether I can conceive a route to get there that has some rewards on its own. With French its pretty simple: read a couple pages in a novel and get to progress in story in a daily session, noticing it's getting easier and faster on a monthly basis and so on. I'm kind of wondering how I would set up my routine and when I could realistically expect to have fun playing a game or reading manga in Japanese.
