  • Back when I was still on Reddit, I once saw a post from someone on the subject of having children in modern times. I don’t remember the exact quote, but I’ll do my best to convey the gist: “I apologized to my wife for having children with her in these times. She said ‘never apologize for raising dragon slayers in a time when there are dragons.’”

    I absolutely recognize the problems with having a kid in a time when the future is in (very legitimate) question. However, if a real solution to our problems is found, it will probably be our children (or theirs) who do so. Certainly, if no one has any more children, the species has a very definite finale more assured than any other crisis we’re currently facing.

    I have a toddler, but I worry about their future every day. Anyone who decides to not have kids (for this reason or others) isn’t wrong to do so. The dragon slayer message still strikes a chord with me, though.










  • Your question isn’t dumb. You just haven’t been exposed to the environment. Please feel free to ask any question about this you have and, if I don’t answer, someone else probably will.

    If you install the Linux version of Steam, it should allow you to download any game. There’s a checkbox in the Steam settings that says something like “run non compatible games through proton” (not what it says, but the general sentiment). Checking that and restarting Steam once is the extent of the setup required; after that, it’s essentially the same process as running a game in Windows (with the few exceptions mentioned by another commenter). Non Steam games should be able to be run by Lutris, PlayOnLinux or adding a non Steam game to Steam, but I mostly haven’t done that myself so I can’t vouch for it. Sincerely, for most games, it’s an easy process.

    I’m no expert, but if you decide to pursue this and get stuck, please feel free to reach out to me and I’ll do my best to help. The link below seems like a good starting point: https://geekflare.com/install-steam-on-linux/




  • Well, not exactly. There’s no GPS equivalent to my knowledge. However, you can get an aisle and even bay number for a product from the website and use that to manually navigate to exactly the area you need. If I know what item I want in advance, I never spend more than a few minutes shopping in a Home Depot (and I think Lowe’s does the same) as opposed to other shops with less efficient guidance.

    It does seem very efficient, but could certainly be better.
