At least triple the price in my area. 4x if the schools are good.

I’ve had my Samsung Bar for 5 years now and no issue with it, if that’s worth anything

I only ever browse All->Top 6 hours. I’m not subscribed to any community.

Some great ones were already mentioned. I’ll add Life Is Beautiful (1997).

Two men walking in the bar and going straight to the bathroom together. Man jumped to conclusions.

I’ll never understand consuming this type of information in video format.

Awestruck seeing all those calls in a one hour interval. It would have been at least 2 weeks for me. Making one phone call requires a full day of pre-call preparation and after-call recovery.

My games were all pirated. Covers had a handwritten list of all games on the cassette (and later CD). The first legit game I’ve ever seen was Mortal Kombat Trilogy and I remember being taken aback by the waste of using a full CD for a single game (iirc the game used just 30 MB of space on that CD).

The board of directors decided that indefinite pause sounds better than stop

There are definitely different prices when I’m logged in vs when I’m not. My wife sends me a links to products, and I usually open any link in incognito windows. Several times I was not seeing the same price as her. Opening the same link on my account would show the same price.

Well, I haven’t played these types of games when I was young. But I have no intention of spending money on microtransactions and the games I’ve chosen have been fun as a f2p player, so they work for me.

As for my kids, they’re still in elementary school and they’ve been raised mostly screen-free, so it’s not something I need to worry about just yet.

I play these games in bursts. Play until exhausting the actual content, then stop when it turns into a grind-fest. Come back a year or two later when there’s enough new content to make it fun again. Usually also with a whole bunch of returning player rewards. Repeat.

A I never ever spend a single cent in these games.

Games that I play include Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail, both of which I just checked and don’t work on Linux due to anticheat protection. I see there are some alternative open-source launchers that would get them working on Linux and Mac, but I wouldn’t risk my account using those.

Years ago I switched to Linux on my PC and everything was fine. But there was a game I wanted to play that didn’t work on Linux, so I created a small Windows partition to dual boot. Later, that game became two, then three, and so on. I had to reformat some partitions to ntfs (iirc I was using reiserfs) to expand available storage for Windows to add more games. Then at one point I realized it’s been a while since I’ve booted into Linux and I don’t even know if it still works.

So yeah, use whatever fits your needs. I’ll always pick Linux PC or Mac for work, but I’ll stick with Windows for gaming.

For context, I’ve been on computers since the 8bit era and I’ve been programming for just as long. I prefer the power of a terminal over GUIs, my “IDE” of choice is vim. I use Git Bash in Windows for access to Linux-style commands. So yeah, I am technical and I prefer Linux for practical reasons. But when I want to play a game I want to just start it and play it, not work for days to maaaybe get it to mostly run fine except for some features.

Edit: one of the games I had to use Windows for was League. A competitive online game with anti-cheat features.

Edit2: note that this was many years ago and some other games I needed Windows for will now probably work on Linux effortlessly. At least one has native support for Linux now.

I recall dreams the same way as I recall real events. There are no actual images or sounds that I can “see” or “hear” in my mind as I think back on the events, but I know I’ve seen and heard those things. So it’s difficult to answer the question. Did I “see” things in my sleep, but remember them only as ideas, or were they just ideas in the dream too? I tend to think it was the former.

You imagined a lot more details than I did. For me it was just the concept of a ball. And then the idea of it moving. The person and the table were left our as irrelevant.

The thought experiment I use when explaining to people about aphantasia is a much simplified version of yours: “imagine a circle”, “ok”, “what color is it?”

That’s it. People give an answer, sometimes including more details, like texture. Then I tell them that for me the question doesn’t make sense, I just imagined the idea of a circle and didn’t actually “see” anything, so there’s no additional detail to it.

According to the article scientists already collected samples and ruled out some theories. They still don’t know what it is. So not something easily explainable.

I use multilingual keyboard layouts, so I know that at least on Windows the selected layout is specific to each window. If I chat with someone in one language, then switch to my IDE, it will not keep the layout I used in the chat window.

But I also have accidently hit the combination to change layouts while doing something, so it can happen. I’m just surprised that Cyrillic с is on the same key as C, instead of S.

Oh, right, using the same function name in multiple structs is what threw me off

There’s probably a rule that requires variables to start with a letter or underscore. Emoji are nor marked as letters. Something like _👍 will probably work.
