You can look for specific games on protondb.com to get a good idea of how they run.
I don't chase high-end PC gaming anywhere near enough to name a single game that is known for realism.
Dreaming of the reality where we got at least four years of Larry David playing Bernie on SNL...
I may be against the fur trade, but that won't stop me from skinning you alive!
I wonder if there's beer on the Sun...
I think epoxy is the best bet, but next time you need to use super glue, try adding baking soda to the mix. It makes super glue much stronger.
Right, agreed. I basically just said that last part to someone else.
The problem with seeing danger in every shadow is that you'll never feel safe is safe enough. There is only so much a person can do to protect themselves, but there comes a point where you've made everything so inconvenient for the sake of security that you can't just live your life. Take reasonable steps and don't worry beyond that.
Perfect security is impossible. It's always a trade off between convenience and assurance. Can you be 100% certain that the official source of software hasn't been compromised? Remember CCleaner for Windows? It was distributing malware at one point.
I cannot purchase certain games any longer, for instance Outrun 2006. A downloaded copy is the only reasonable option. Purchasing a used copy doesn't benefit the rights holder, so I don't bother.
Take reasonable steps to limit any access the program would have - scan files, use a separate limited-rights user, a sandbox, etc. - and live your life.
So then you should know how to scan for viruses before you execute anything.
Your argument is that torrents = viruses, which is also wrong.
What viruses do you think you're going to catch on a Linux host? Nobody is packing Linux viruses into torrents so they might affect the < 1% of people who download it.
I mostly pay for games, but this is a really dumb take.
Agreed.
From the article:
And to Grant's point, the next day, you'll feel like you can take the afternoon off to take the kids to the park or enjoy a bike ride on the beach. This is what having a healthy, productive life looks like. You work your butt off first, and then take time to reward yourself later.
If that time off is approved and not caught in the typical bureaucratic corporate time off request processes.
If you have the time off to use.
If you aren't rewarded for your competency by being given additional work because your coworkers who can't hit that "Flow" state are just allowed to be that way.
Fuck this article.
I find the comments here in the fediverse are of a higher overall quality, like Reddit once was over a decade ago.
Maybe just high-stakes gamblers since you're hurtling yourself at high speeds down a road in an unproven metal box.
A tire rod snapping is no joke. An 18 wheeler flipped over outside of my workplace on Monday because of that. Nobody was seriously hurt, fortunately. It took hours to get it cleared up.
It's time for therapy because I would bet money you've got other issues that you need to dig into for the sake of your kids. The haircut is just the visible manifestation of some other problems you have with her, namely that you've already stated that you would end the marriage if she were to simply admit she's trans.
I'm not judging you at all. Relationships are complicated and constantly evolving. It's possible you've both grown in different directions that are incompatible. It's also possible you just need to talk some things out.
I wish you the best either way.
