Work has been so stressful and demanding that I haven’t really had the time or energy to paint minis. I managed to paint 2 ribbons and highlight some armor, and I also started painting a face which I’m very bad at. All in all, maybe 1h of hobbying broken up into 20 min bits here and there.
What can I say, value is subjective, but at least to me it’s not what I would describe as Big Mac pricing.
This is a $70 game with a ‘season pass’ and the ultimate edition is $130. That’s hardly big mac price.
As someone who has fucked up similarly before in a different context, both of those things happened. I got put in my place, we agreed I was going to adjust my attitude, ate my warning, and the outward conversation was that the problem was resolved and we’d work on being better in the future.
I’d been using linux for work for a couple years and it was going fine. I had a pretty crappy laptop at home with limited storage and I was constantly wrestling with Windows storing update stuff, installing adware during updates, etc.
I’d heard of proton and about how well it was going with it, so I had an idea linux gaming was possible.
Eventually something happened during a windows update that required I reinstall the OS and I just pulled out the flash drive I used to install linux on my work machine and tried it out. Eventually I did have to dual boot (on a bigger drive) for some games, but nowadays I’m all linux everywhere.
Jesus Christ, that’s a lot of weirdos.
It’s the players who are wrong.
/s ofc
Fair enough, that could be the case. Some generic blocking setting. In that case others in this thread have given good technical suggestions.
Like a boulder downhill that’s never gonna stop
Don’t, unless you don’t mind losing your job. They did it because they noticed people were watching stuff at work and they don’t want you to do it.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If I’m picturing anything, I usually go for 1 or 2. The difference might be in the amount of time I do it. I can just do it quick, then remember it.
I’m not saying you should buy a refurbished one, I’m saying I couldn’t buy a new one locally because it’s not in stock. Have you tried other laptops?
Have you checked out any other thinkpad? I’m not in Slovenia but my local price comparison website only shows upgrades for this one in stock, and the laptop itself only from a refurbishing place. Maybe this thing is just out of stock.
Given enough time, everything changes. Society as it is now will go away eventually, but it’s hard to say that society will ‘collapse’. Things can get better or worse, and in either case there will be people who think it they’ve gotten better, and people who think they’ve gotten worse.
It’s hard to stay optimistic with how perception is shaped nowadays. Let me try to slightly change that perspective. I don’t have a link to the study, but a majority of interviewed Americans thought that crime was on the rise, and worse than ever, when in fact it has been decreasing steadily since the early 90s. Public perception was shaped by the broad popularity of televised police, detective, true crime documentaries, and fictional media. A good thing was happening, but that’s not what people thought.
Climate change and pollution are bad, but renewables are on the rise on average, and being pushed hard by the public in general.
Increasingly divided and radical governments are bad, but people are getting sick of it, and governments will have to adapt or be replaced.
Economic woes are definitely a problem, but we’re slowly making baby steps, doing things like banning airbnb here and there, etc. Economic woes have come and gone.
Misinformation and disinformation is everywhere, but we’re more aware of it than ever. We’re suspicious of intent, of sources, etc. Not all of us trust the right sources, but we’re starting to implement fact checking, we’re making platforms that show news on the political spectrum, we have ways to find blind spots, etc.
Dangerous health crises aren’t the end of the world. The black plague and the ‘spanish’ flu killed a lot of people, and neither lead to the breakdown of society. We’ll figure it out, we’re tough SOBs.
Look, I’m not saying these things aren’t happening, I’m just saying that for every bad thing that floods the airways and the internet, there is some degree of reaction. We’re not laying down and taking it. And while it’s certainly depressing and disheartening to see so many bad things happening, they can help to galvanize people against it, and not fall into complacency.
It’s easy to be overwhelmed too, which is why it’s not a bad idea to take the time to limit and filter exposure to this stuff. You know about it, you’ve looked into it, you’ve made a (hopefully educated) decision, you know what you’re going to do. It’s not healthy for you to come back and keep looking at the problem over and over again.
There’s also the issue of being exposed to serious problems that you can’t affect in a meaningful way. I’m not American, what the hell am I supposed to do about their presidential election? No reason for me to look at it all the time. When the time comes, I’ll vote for someone on my end who says they’re going to handle the situation in the way that I think is best.
Take a step back, consider your situation. Which things affect you? Which things affect the people in your life? Which things can you affect? What can you do, that matters? Focus your energy on that. You don’t have to make a big change, you can start by clearing your head.
I’m certainly not a virtuous person but I don’t think I’m categorically bad.
Still kicking.
As I said I don’t think I’d achieve anything by arguing my point. Imo single difficulty is or should be part of the genre. It’s totally ok for others to also just not play it at all.
Whenever my GM says I get to play I know it’s gonna be fire.
I’ll play fucking uno if that’s what he’s running.
