Don't come at me I'm just curious, because I don't think they are luck based. I think it's all pattern recognition and learning the best ways to deal with the pattern in a quick moment. But what do you think? #hottake #coldtake #rogue-like #roguelikes #soulslike #gaming #indiegames

@MachineLordZero In my opinion, no church without a Pride flag follows Jesus either.
#HotTake So many of us state boldly and proudly that blindness or some other disability does not define us. Well, I want to say just as boldly and proudly that blindness *does* define me, but it is not the *only* thing that defines me. (1/3)
Lately, I've been turning more to Chinese media simply because it's far more accessible. Western outlets bury news behind paywalls, bombard you with ads, and demand cookies and trackers. Meanwhile, sites like Global Times and China Daily offer clean, accessible articles without the junk.
#HotTake Name drop philosophers to prove you're right is just showing off.

@martin en fait, surtout pour dire que c’est un argument d’autorité de cité des philosophes. Personnellement je crois que la philosophie c’est juste un truc que tu peux tourner à ta propre sauce pour montrer que t’as raison. Du coup j’aime pas ça. #hotTake #philosophie
Nu såhär några veckor efter det skedde och alla känslor har svalnat.
#hottake Avskaffa sommartiden! Den tillför precis ingenting. Saknar du fritid efter ditt 8-17 jobb så får du antingen byta jobb eller gå upp tidigare.
Världen fungerade alldeles ypperligt innan det här påfundet och skulle fungera alldeles ypperligt om man tog bort det.
mon Spielberg préféré est le Vieux Spielberg. j'avais adoré son remake de West Side Story & j'ai trouvé The Fablemans remarquable, alors que je m'en bats les reins des (auto)biopics. la sérénité de celleux qui n'ont plus rien à prouver & maîtrisent leur craft dessus-dessous me plaît bcp. sa façon de dire l'enfance & la famille, dans ses failles, ses mystères, ses beautés m'a touché & sa foi en l'exagération narrative presque naïve est étrange, anachronique, émouvante.

I love Debian. But it gets painfully long in the tooth towards the end of the stable release cycle. I used to just jump to testing after stable was out for the year, but the whole xz thing last year scared me off of that.
I have software I can't update because I'd have to compile the compiler in order to get it to compile, because it's so old. I can't remember what exactly, but I think it's written in Nim.
Don't get me wrong, I do not like the software treadmill. It makes no sense, and it doesn't make for a stable infrastructure. But I don't think there's any changing it, and a two-year update cycle for desktop use is becoming untenable.
The other reason why I'm looking outside of Debian is that I want a linux distro that's as easy to use and seamless as possible. I don't have any serious complaints about Debian in that regard, it's actually a lot easier to use in that regard than people give it credit for. But something that's just a little more windows like, I dunno. For example, graphical boot screens and LUKS password screens. Some distros give you a graphical boot from the very beginning, even when asking for the LUKS password. Some distros also show you a boot screen with the manufacturer's logo taken from EFI.
Really stupid little things like that that don't mean a hill of beans to nerds like us, but they have small, measurable psychological effects on new switchers from windows.
And of course, I'll have my coworker running KDE, because what the heck even is Gnome anymore? Some kind of unusably minimalistic Steve Jobs fever dream, that's what. #HotTake
(To be fair, Gnome is real purty. And there's something to be said for minimalism. Just not that much minimalism.)
Butterkase might be better than Mozzarella. It might be my new favorite soft cheese.
My brain needs to chill out.
I watched a video complaining about all the rising food costs in the #usa and noticed the person complaining was really big.
Then immediately thought - "Well maybe the rising food costs are a good thing for the 73% of Americans who are obese or overweight." Then horror laughed to myself for a few minutes.
I do think it's a bad thing, especially for poor families.
But maybe MONEY will finally solve the #obesity issue. Replace it with STARVATION!
Uważam, że wszystkie mechaniki w grach ze "zużywającymi" się mieczami, siekierami itp to patologia, która odbiera przyjemność z grania.
Odrzuca mnie to od gier.
Dosłownie.
