  • All my life I never saved tabs and everytime I closed the browser I would open it again with just the home oage. Then about a year ago I downloaded Zen Browser and I really liked the tab management that came with it. I created some profiles and folders to organize the tabs in so now I have maybe 20-30 tabs always open, but they are almost always used regularly. I might have 5 for my school. 5 for torrenting/hosting. A few for music related things, gaming, etc. It’s very organized and basically replaces the need for a custom html homepage.

    Where I live all the grass in peoples yards are not native and would absolutely die without constant upkeep by humans. I really don’t understand the point. I get that it looks neat and upholds the aesthetic of luxury yards, but I’ve never thought natural foilage was ugly and never understood why it was unwanted by people. The picture perfect at grass lawns are very uninviting for people to actually walk around on. At that point it’s basically the equivalent of putting plastic on all your furniture and telling guests not to sit on it


  • I think there is a difference between what the developers expect and what characters expect. In Fallout3 a settlement builds their town around a deactivated nuclear bomb. There is an opportunity very early in the game to detonate it, which most characters understandably react poorly to. But I wouldn’t rate the game poorly because the surviving NPCs of that settlement become hostile to the player afterwards. The developers don’t really expect anything from the players as there is the choice to do either thing. I thought Dishonored did that as well. NPCs who cause havoc to the city by killing people and spreading disease will hear complaints from the surviving citizens. Also the story of the game sets up the player to be framed for murdering the empress so most NPCs by default already hate the player character. I liked that the game gave players the choice to remain noble and try to actively prevent further chaos or say fuck it and slaughter everyone who stands against you even if you are technically in the right.


  • Appreciate the response. I feel that I’m in the minority when it comes to caring much about good or bad endings. Usually if a game has several endings I’ll replay it to get the other endings. I’ve never really felt that a “bad ending” was a punishment though. Even if I get immersed in the character I’m playing, I never felt as though I experienced the negative outcomes. I was playing Baldur’s Gate 3 with a friend and he was getting mad at me because I wasn’t playing lawfully good lol. That game was designed to keep progressing no matter what choices you make. You can kill the most important characters but the game keeps going. Yet he felt as though we would have to reload a previous save if I did something too “wrong”. Anyway, I just find the difference of opinion on the topic interesting lol sorry for the wall of text.







  • I take notes for my classes using CherryTree. My school lost their liscense with MultiSim, so now I use KiCad on my laptop. I know next to nothing about it, but it’s been fun learning it. If I have to write a report for school I use LibreOffice instead of Microsoft Word. There’s no learning curve, they are nearly identical programs. I bought my laptop with Windows 10 installed but it runs much faster now with Mint.








  • I have no idea what you are talking about anymore. It seems to me that your idea of what the “grind” is, is you’re own interpretation that doesn’t match what anyone else here is talking about. You have taken the entire post and each other comment completely out of context.


  • The other user is definitely of the mindset that just because they got lucky enough to get a job that they enjoy and make good money from, that everyone shares that privlage and the same opportunities they’ve been given in life. Unfortunately some people just can’t understand that not everyone is born to the same level of fortune.
