The entirety of Eastern Europe shrugs emphatically

Tradition at this point, I suppose.

We're not even remotely close to one of the oldest, lmao. Take crocs, coelacanths, horseshoe crabs, etc

Moghul ,

Nice one

Moghul ,

I'd love to paint this little guy. Anyone know if someone sells this?

Yet another thing that's impossible to discuss without being strawmanned by both sides. I'm not a hardcore gamer and for the most part play on medium or just slightly above medium difficulty in most video games.

I don't think a dev should have to accommodate customers that they don't want to accommodate, and this goes beyond difficulty. Souls games don't need a difficulty choice in the same way that Firewatch doesn't. Gacha games don't need to improve the f2p experience because those are games for whales.

It's like asking for sex drugs and rock&roll in disney movies and pg 13 horror movies.

I think you’re leaving money on the table

For some people that is ok

intentionally limiting who can experience the art you’re trying to share with the world

Almost every musician, painter, or sculptor ever has done that. It is ok.

You don’t HAVE to include more than the basic colorblind option

I think most devs could include stuff like colorblind options or rebindable control schemes and such, and I definitely think they should

better products for it

Difficulty is not the same as colorblind mode. Colorblind mode is the same as creating closed captions for movies, difficulty is the same as changing the movie to fit another audience. Difficulty is part of the game.

it COULD be a better game if they did

It would be a different game, that they are not trying to make.

Power word: scrunch

It'll be different this time guys, no really, just one more time guys, we'll get it right, it wasn't even a good try, let us go again, this time for real, no way it'll be anything other than a utopia guys, the people will have the power, guys.

I'm not defending capitalism in that comment. Communist is also more than an economic model.

When I have a rough day or don't sleep well the night before, I take a 30 minute 'nap' when I get home after work. It's strictly 30 minutes.

It doesn't matter if I fall asleep or not, it's a strict 30 minute limit. I set a timer and I stand up when it rings. This lets me turn an otherwise completely wasted evening into something salvageable. Then, I can have a regularly active evening - I cook, play games, paint, whatever.

I don't really have trouble falling asleep after that at the regular time, or maybe an hour late. I do struggle sometimes to 'boot up' after the nap, and it doesn't always help (mostly when I don't actually fall asleep) but it has worked for me more times than not.

Also, I drink a LOT of coffee - way too much. This is what works for me.

Moghul ,

How did you get this picture of me somehow not holding a cup of coffee?

I would like to pay for YT Premium, but I think the service is bad. The product is good, and the service is bad.

If I say I don't want to see this video, I don't want to see this fucking video again, youtube. I said don't recommend this channel, and you said I won't see it again, but I just refreshed, and there it is. I am not dutch, I don't speak dutch, I've never even been to the Netherlands. I shouldn't be seeing videos in dutch.

Routinely, I have to go through my home page and try to train the algorithm but I've just given up. I got an extension now that just permanently removes channels and videos I don't want to see.

The thing is... the product is the videos, and youtube doesn't do the videos. Youtube does the service, and the service is bad. I understand that the ads pay the youtubers but the truth is I don't care. That pay is trash, and if they want my premium money, youtubers should unionize and force youtube to improve the service.

Edit: I watch the youtuber's sponsor spot and I buy merch.

Moghul ,

It's youtube. If you copy the link and paste it into a chat or something where it'll be embedded, you can see the original title.

Moghul ,

Those poor bastards. MY doppelgangers and I should meet and exchange notes on how to deal with all the weird shit we live with.

Moghul ,

They will absolutely try to force the paid feature on you. How many times have you seen the youtube premium prompt?

Moghul ,

I don't have that blocked, and use the youtube website, so I see it at least once a week.

Moghul ,

I do, I just don't have the premium prompt blocked

Moghul ,

I mean I have ublock origin and it still shows up between rows of videos.

Pretty sad to see this kind of attitude. The problem IMO is buying with the intent to rent, and companies owning too much property. I rent, but I don't think that if you inherit something you're immediately a bad person until you sell it. Or if you bought something while single, once you move in with a significant other you're a bad person. I wouldn't have a problem renting from people like this either. There needs to be % cap on company rentals, and there needs to be a cap on private properties owned, but I don't personally think the number has to be 1.

Owning more property and being richer than me doesn't make someone automatically a bad person. People nowadays can only see black and white. We're so frustrated and tired of dealing with shit that we can't empathize with fellow human beings. Not everyone is a "real estate investment firm".

Moghul ,

I'm sure there are major issues with that idea as well, such as creating a rigid structure of sale and rental.

For example here, politicians made it very difficult to get kicked out if you rent a place for more than 2 years. You basically have to agree to move out. All that did is make virtually all landlords only lease for 2 years because it's hard to get rid of a bad tenant after that. It's a great thing if you can get it, but it sucks to have to move that often.

If you limit the % property for rent in a city, maybe companies will build turbo shit apartments (or extremely expensive apartments) for sale, and decent apartments for rent. The monkey paw is strong.

I gave 2 good reasons why someone would have a second home. If you mean purpose, not everyone who owns a second home rents it out, and not everyone who rents it out is doing it for fat profit.

My uncle owns 2 homes. One he bought with my aunt, and one he inherited. His brother lives in the second home for various reasons and his end of the deal is that he takes care of it.
I have another uncle who bought a studio apartment with my aunt maybe 30 years ago, and they mortgaged a new apartment some years ago, when my cousin got too old to sleep in one room with them. They rent out the studio to college students for what I think is a fairly low price. One of them is now retired and they've got a good chunk more time to pay on that mortgage and prices have skyrocketed in their area. If shit goes south financially, they have a backup place to live in their old age.

I'm an immigrant myself and I can tell by the way prices are going here, I'm going to need to find a spouse to mortgage an apartment if I want to buy anything. I don't think anyone in those situations is some kind of monster for not selling me their second home.

I think a remote vacation home or cabin or whatever is also a legitimate reason to own 2 properties. I also think hotels and motels fall under owned property, and I think those are legit too.

Like I said, IMO the problem is with people hoovering up properties specifically to inflate prices and to make profit by doing nothing. It's rentseekers and bad landlords, not multi-home owners.

Edit: the relationships here read kinda weird. Both uncles are "by alliance", married into the family. Of course, they both share ownership of the stuff they bought with my aunts, but idk how the inheritance works, and I'm not gonna ask. The way it's phrased in the family is that he inherited that house in the countryside and his brother (which is like distant family to me I guess) lives there.

Moghul ,

Of course, but who owns more... Idk what to call them. Second homes? Additional homes? And how long are they owned for? Who is causing the 'shortage' as it were? Is it people who own one or maybe two extra homes, or is it companies who own 10-story, village sized apartment buildings that they rent out? What about Airbnb property scoopers?

I don't have an answer to that, and I'm guessing it differs by city, country, region. I'm not arguing everyone who owns a second home is an angel. I disagree with the thread source comment that paints all 2-home owners as evil.

Moghul ,

Me. It's delicious.

You measure garlic with your heart, not in cloves or bulbs.

I would honestly enjoy a watch like that if it didn't have 6768342 pieces of text on it. I'd rather have to read the manual and have a less cluttered looking watch. For now, I'll stick to my automatic Seiko.

Moghul ,

As a complete nerd and homebody I was really surprised to find out during lockdown that I needed and wanted time outdoors.

What games are you trying? Off the top of my head, I've played monster hunter world, hunt showdown, cyberpunk 2077, baldur's gate 3, norman reedus and the funky fetus, elden ring, deep rock galactic, doom (the new ones), apex, the dark souls games, warframe, and a few more over the years.

Moghul ,

When you switch proton versions, it might be a good idea to delete the prefix directory. I find that helps.

Moghul ,

Can't speak about the rest but

C2077 ran like a slog at best, if it even started, so I never bothered again.

Works fine on my 3070. Actually worked on release too. I'm on medium-high graphics 60fps in 4k.

Moghul ,

I mean, then it's not really linux, is it?

As for the card, I bought it before it became apparent how overpriced it was, and it was a major upgrade from my second hand 970 anyway. And I didn't splurge, I saved and bought what I thought made sense for me, when I could've 'splurged' on a 3080.

ITT: People getting mad for saying a 3 generations, 4 year old low end gpu is the issue

Moghul ,

Which country would that be? This is EU related.

I don't disagree with you otherwise. If we had a good age verification system that didn't involve the website, only gave a boolean age check to the website, wasn't logged at the government or any other level, I might think this was ok. But we don't. So as soon as this starts I'll pirate a bunch of porn.
