SinkingLotus

A collection of short stories by Harlan Ellison.

It was an absolutely insufferable read. Specifically, his foreword between each story.

“Another settlement needs your help.”

Sudo !!

It reruns the last command as sudo.

Pretty useful since I’m always forgetting.

Had the exact same experience several years back. Was in there for an hour or two. They kept breaking the tooth and had to peel the gum back and drill some jaw bone from what I recall.

Things only ended up getting worse with the flu going around and I ended up bed ridden.

but have no idea how I should go about playing games on Linux

What distro?

Do you know what graphics card you’re using?

That, and the smaller communities that are here tend to be split between multiple instances.

I took all the negative traits but forgot the positive ones.

A stuffed crust pizza would be a calzone only when it’s still yet to be cut into slices.

The moment a slice is removed from the whole would be when it becomes sushi.

Hell, a lot of the time you’d get downvoted purely as some form of competition. An attempt to increase the chance of their post/comment getting upvoted. Then there’s the rest who downvote it purely because it was already downvoted by others.

Personally, I don’t really bother with keeping up with things like upcoming releases, reviews, teasers and trailers.

Not only to avoid the hype but also because there have been a couple of occasions when watching a single review or trailer on YouTube led to me getting a recommended video of the game during the release week, and that video had a massive spoiler in its title.

I prefer to go into it completely blind. Maybe I just have incredibly low standards though. Some of my favourite games are those which were widely hated.

Although after spending 10+ years on Reddit (which I’ve since quit using). Even the dedicated game subs are full of bitching and constant arguments, and God help you if you’re a fan of MMORPG’s cause that sub seems to absolutely despise them.

The same way I distract myself from anything even slightly unpleasant or uncomfortable.

Escapism via gaming, reading, music, and YouTube.

Usually multiple at once. Sensory overload makes it easier to distract yourself completely.

Literally every couple steps.

Same. I wouldn’t stop talking during combat so I was typing full sentences in that one second global cooldown.

Video game screenshots for me. So far 22.5gb, 10,206 pictures in 178 folders.
