Most things honestly. I go to possibly unhealthy lengths to put mental blocks between me and the world.

A good reason why I don't want to "get" Linux is this guy posted in this thread with Linux as his example, and it's the most replied to thread with each user trying to justify their distro. This is like me going into a bible belt small town, expressing my spiritual beliefs, and watching as each of the individual churches try to try and "save" me. Until Linux users "get" why Windows is the marke...

You don't have to tell people you use Linux or talk to them about it. I know that because I use Zorin OS, which is a really modern feeling Linux distro with a slick user interface, that's perfect for people like you and I, who don't want to be bombarded with opinions on the "right" operating system and just want to use their computers in peace. You should totally switch!

Honestly nothing. It's almost like a compulsion, where I feel like if I ignore something I'm a bad person.

It's nice to know I'm not alone in this feeling. Good luck and try not to be too self critical.

Yeah, I just have a tough time believing you guys, from my limited experience with Linux, but also from many others here who seem to be Linux users, but can appreciate why others don't use it. Folks talking about updates bricking peripherals and whatnot. It's something that has literally never happened to me in the last 30+ years I've been Windowsing. If Linux users could stop being so hyperbol...

If Linux users could stop being so hyperbolic in their superiority,

FYI, we're actually substantially downplaying how superior Linux is.

That's part of the message we're trying to share, now that it is ready. You're allowed to use Linux as a shit-free alternative to Windows. For some people, that is enough.

But that's barely skimming the surface of all the cool shit happening on Linux today.

It looks like debian with KDE would be worth looking at. How do I obtain this? Edit: Oh it's free, I just googled it and it came up.

Haha. I often forget to mention that part!

A ton of really good software is also free. I found the hardest part was choosing which software was right for me.

Preach. Any thread remotely about operating systems turning into a "Fuck windows" Linux cicrclejerk is just annoying as fuck. I'm almost refusing to use Linux just to spite Lemmy. And I'm well aware I'm a spiteful person, it's how I've survived 38 years, and I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing, it's worked out just fine!

Haha. Fair enough.

But also, fuck Windows though. Really. Microslop could have made a good OS, they have in the past.

Today, they're just choosing not to.

What's to get? Not a lot of depth if any to any of these. Like someone huffed glue and laughing at a fly on a wall.

You know what's funnier than 24 Patrick ?

Impeccable taste in puzzle games, congrats!

I am currently finishing Frostpunk.

Planned:

  • Chants of Sennar
  • Outer Wilds
  • Citizen Sleeper 2
  • Kentucky Route Zero (too expensive)

Finding more games I enjoy is quite the struggle now...

Any recommendations?

I used to think that, but then I realized human brains are kind of a mess so if weird things happen it's fine as long as nobody's hurting themselves or someone else

If that's what they feel good for them, validity isn't a pie and more for a weird niche group isn't less for the rest

And if they're trolling you're failing responding to trolls 101

It takes up a third of your income but you have no interest in it ?

Why would I waste a third of my income on a car? If push comes to shove, it may be between 5 and 8%.

Ok guys you got me. This is fascinating. Does the enduro guy have to make bike sounds with his mouth?

You & I both know damn well that he does.

Sports

I had a thought while watching the Winter Olympics recently.
Perhaps the Olympic Committee could send an every day hobbyist first. As sort of an OMG this course is bonkers.
Just watch.
Let’s say we take the type of skier hitting the Giant Slalom with nothing but some apres ski big talk & bragging of mogul crushing skills and let the poor mf’er do a gravity and inertia display?
I’d watch.
Then, the Olympic athletes would showcase their passion, skills & talented dedication towards this common sought goal.

Other favourites that I always keep around to chill:

  • Sable
  • Journey
  • Valley
  • Torchlight
  • Into the Breach
  • Baba is You
  • Plunge

Some others that I jump in for a quick adrenaline boost:

  • Into the Pit
  • Immortal Redneck
  • Ziggurat
  • Ion Fury

Nice thanks! Will check the ones I don't know out. I think I own sable on some platform already.

Meh, even that is different. One facilitates an activity YOU partake in. The other is an activity you watch others do. Obsessing over how well grown men perform at children's games is odd. Structuring your weekend around observing other people exercise while you sit on the couch...is weird.

I don't drive a train though???

Haha yeah! :3 I uh, misread the critter I replied to as saying "I don't get it" rather than "I'm not even interested in getting it". Cue the massive infodump. >,,> I'm not that sorry, though. It's still fun to talk about and also kinda hilarious that it happened. -- Frost

I tend to do the same thing. "Well if you didn't want a half hour introduction to color theory, why did you ask an unrelated question?"

I... might have the tism...
