I think I used a mental shortcut and assumed their reason was due to frustration because a fairly common context for sentences like the one in the comment I replied to is due to reasons of disagreement or dislike due to opinion, quality, lack of information, or some other reason.
The game gets kinda meta on itself. This is mild spoilers: There’s a greater overall plot that gets progressed by a looping simpler plot. The idea is that, you are instructed by a narrator to go to a cabin in the woods and slay the princess inside. The choices you make cause this plot to repeat with a twist. When the simple plot loops its influenced by what you did on the prior iteration of the simple plot. Each of these loops is actually you advancing down a branching story path, and you need enough of these branches completed to complete the greater overall plot.
Its sort of like the Stanley Parable, where you can defy the narrator, or go along with his demands. The fun is getting a reaction out of the narrator or any of the other characters by your actions or dialogue choices, and seeing the story change based on what you choose. However its still a visual novel, so its a lot of listening to dialogue.
Steam itself works fine on Linux. I don’t think I have a single game in my library that doesn’t work. I’m using Arch (btw) and I’ve found that for my use case (internet browsing and video games) that I haven’t had any major issues.
The two issues I do have are:
I still have my Windows install (dual boot) as a just in case backup, but its been months since I’ve used it.
Yeah, I’m going to have to agree. It had plenty of content to make up for its price tag.
Electric cars being charged by fossil fuels still have major advantages. Those who make generators are incentivized to get as many joules of energy per gallon of fuel. Diesel generators can have some efficiency adaptations that vehicle engines wont often have, such as being designed to run at a fixed speed. Your average car owner wont care about efficiency as much as getting from point A to point B, so the already low efficiency of combustion engines is probably lower on average than what could be theoretically achievable just due to people not maintaining their vehicles. Electric vehicles do not idle, and starting an electric vehicle does not cost extra power. Additionally, stop and go traffic leads to far less loss of energy in cities for anyone driving an electric vehicle.
While I would prefer renewable power for electric vehicles, electric cars can still use fossil fuel power more efficiently than internal combustion engines can.
I’d still prefer electric trains however.
It was really good for artists and entertainers (streamers included) to gain a following
Technology is moving so fast not even the common person can be aware of the threat. Plus, we have the response to it is to not believe because its uncomfortable. By the time people understand they will deem it too late to do anything about it.
I got COVID after taking all precautions because my father didn’t wear a mask and took it home. I was sick for a month. I only left my bed to use the bathroom or eat. I literally slept the rest of the time. I probably should have gone to the hospital because I could hardly stay awake even just to eat. I remember waking up one day, and just knowing that I was recovering.
Recovery was hell. I couldn’t taste, or smell anything. I had awful flu like symptoms. I was lethargic and I could hardly walk. It took two weeks to feel functional, and for three months my sense of taste was completely fucked.
