Kids for me. On my third one. It is hard at times and you sacrifice a lot of your time, and energy (money is less of an issue up to the second one I’d say, the real costs starts at three where you need to upgrade cars and shit) in order to be a good parent. But watching them grow up and be brilliant boys, is very rewarding. I am happy that I am providing them a good life so far, they are smart and devour knowledge, and they take on my interests kinda naturally so it’s fun teaching them things I enjoy.

In a few years we will be nerding out on Dota or PoE or whatever, anime, maybe I will DM an rpg for them and their cousins that live nearby. Start them up with python or so. Teach them Japanese, maybe have them start tennis or so. Or maybe they will nerd out with something on their own. Well see…

Tomorrow I’ll grab the boys and go to the countryside for hiking up the mountains, playing in the forest, eating awesome food in taverns and so on. Will be tiring, but will be fun.

So yeah. Kids are fun and they give me a purpose to strive for. Peace and quiet while being alone was definitely something, but after experiencing both, for me it is purposeless, unfulfilling, and gets pretty boring pretty quick.

Hey, the three Japanese script make actual sense though.

That’s what I hate the most.

It is destructive in what sense? I’ve been using gimp to do various edits non professionally for many years and I am feeling comfortable with many advanced things, but now I am curious about maybe trying Krita or something.

I thought using layers and so on in gimp was also considered non destructive… Maybe I am missing out on something.

I have also used photoshop in like 20 years ago, can’t remember much.

Yes.

That’s just you outsourcing your jokes as a dad.

You sucked your friends titties?

Bold of you to assume I hare upgraded in the first place.

I can relate. I was playing whatever the first expansion was. Karazhan or something. 2007? 2008?

First kubuntu, then opensuse, then arch BTW.

It’s very similar in some ways in the surface, but pretty different in essence. I like both. STS is more hardcore and “strict” and choices matter more, MT is more chill, relying on a single good combo usually, but with very high ceiling for broken fun things. I prefer MT more to unwind.

Nice, I love amethyst, I can’t imagine how great it would feel to have found one myself. Anywhere.

Slay the Spire but no Monster Train?

You mean w.i.r.

Pink Floyd - marooned.

I mean, why are you down voting the guy. He is just sharing the perspective of people there.

Gabriel Knight 3. I dont know if you have played it, but for me it is the king of adventures.

Eeeh… I mean…

For sure. Certainly the first thing that comes to my mind when thinking about awesome intro.

Maiden?

As a Greek, yes this is the modern usage of the word.
