So what’s Noita’s appeal? I’ve tried getting into it several times, but it never clicked. It feels overly difficult, but not in a fun way. I’m sure I’m missing something, as this kind of game would be up my alley otherwise.

Joyce Carol Oates is there; She counts for hundreds of cool people; I think some other writers make use of it too. I hope they voice their discontent.

Nazis find a way to ruin every fucking thing. I really believe certain groups of people should not have right to free speech. In 2024, we should be well-aware that tolerating intolerance does not work. Just fucking look around and take a look at what these people are doing with their free speech. I am not the gatekeeper or good morals and the bastion of good values. Some ideologies are objectively bad, though.

Reddits content has gone downhill since the big migration. Even smaller communities are restricted to mostly shitposts, memes , drama or a mix of those. I tried checking it a while back and it’s incredibly bad. If we vote yes for Lexit I’d probably go to whatever platform the admins pick.

I did the same. My story had a really dark twist though…. Luckily things are somewhat better these days, but it’ll be one of those things that I’ll remember in my deathbed…

Unfortunately, there’s no correlation between game quality and its price. The standard now is 70 euros.

There’s a Korean reality TV/game show that I really enjoy, called “The Genius”. Sadly, it’s no longer airing, but I think it’s one of my favorite shows that has ever aired. I used to be into Chinese dramas back when I was living there, but nowadays my Chinese is very rusty, and I don’t get the same satisfaction from watching them.

Something about pushing my body to its limits just makes me feel very good. I can’t really explain it. I don’t like the pain or the effort, but doing one more bench press always makes me feel so good about myself. I suppose it’s the sense of accomplishment. The first few months were very hard since I was 30kg overweight and hadn’t done any kind of sports in a long time, so just the thought of exercising made me anxious. Nowadays, I’m much more accustomed to it. I’ve lost a bit over 10kg, and the challenge has become somewhat addictive.

Unfortunately, it is not. At some point CBD oils were allowed, but they had no THC in them, so it was not super helpful. :(

That sounds incredibly cool. Knowing myself I’d probably cut a finger off, but that’s definitely something I’d like to try at some point!

That sounds really cool. I think I’d never be able to do it with my clumsy hands. How did you get into it?

Too bad weed is not legal here. I reckon that’d help with the anxiety.

I had a co-worker who was super into sim racing. He had this insane setup in his living room with a chair, pedals and so on. What wheels and pedals do you recommend to get started? 🤔

I started taking notes on a app called Craft. It kind of takes a page from notion, but it is not nearly as bloated. I use it for everything, notes on books, journaling, keep tabs on my exercises and so on.

One of the things I hate the most is when people say, “You gotta be X hours in and then it is really great!” If you have to wait for a game to get good then, in my opinion, it is not a very good game. I want to have fun right from the beginning.

Ohh I just looked up Astro and it looks really cool. I’ll give it a go tomorrow!

I was considering this. How much does it set you back? Do you just use the £5 servers?
