I judge people who judge others for gatekeeping. God forbid I have a well informed and strong opinion based on experience. If I share that with a casual or new person then it’s now called gatekeeping.

It’s ok to have different opinions but not all opinions are equal, and if you’re a casual participant or new to a field/hobby/whatever your opinion doesn’t matter as much. Additionally, if you are discouraged and feel held back by strong opinions by others then maybe you should be kept out.

Look up Atmospheric Vortex Engines. Think giant fire tornados driving turbines. The more realistic designs use waste heat but Popular Science or Mechanics had a story decades ago where someone proposed creating giant fire tornados in the desert.

It was legit the last time I bought a game from them, 10 years ago

It me.

God i suck at platformers.

It’s a general feeling of dread of the weekend ending and having to go back to work on Monday. Some people let it ruin their Sundays.

Thr scaries start for me once it gets close to noon and the day no longer feels young. The feeling that the day is lost merges with a similar feeling about life, which urges me to do something, anything, with my time.

That’s when I usually get a burst of productivity that lasts until it’s 5pm. The weekend is gone and it’s time to enter self care mode. That usually means good food and entertainment in one form or another. As it gets dark I’ll start trying to stop time with booze or a bit of weed as I indulge myself with sports or a movie.

I will often go to bed early so I can be all cozy and in a safe space to go down a wikipedia hole, read a book, listen to music and just veg in general.

Once the day is actually over the scaries usually have disappeared oddly enough.

A little bit of cinamon and chocolate in normal, non-Ohio related, chili is really good.

I never could defuse all the bombs at the dam.

It’s s one of my biggest regrets from childhood. Right up there with the rest of my early traumas that have guided my life in major and subtle ways.

Goddamn I needed to hear this

It’s funny cause it’s true

I still do, but I used to, too.

Wobbly windows, rotating cube workspace switcher, and a flaming bonanza animation when a windows was closed.

The year was ~2003

I stopped reading Sanderson specifically because he puts out so many books with unnecessarily huge page counts that I just don’t care anymore.

I’m not allergic to long books either, having read the entire WoT series 3+ times. But I’d much rather read stuff that authors have spent time on instead of mass producing.

Fire their ceo that they’re paying 6 million a year

IMO Linux has had superior usability for at least 8 years.
