It just took a month to connect to his own brain.

Excuse me, I see a fellow IDM enjoyer. Any recommendations for me?

GIMP does look better now, but I feel like its workflow is actively working against the user experience.

Can someone tell me how to force Google drive to show me folders instead of files on start? Why would I ever need to look at a mess of files? I spend time organizing them into folders a reason, no thanks Google I really wanted them haphazardly thrown in my face.

Patiently waiting for the massive download to complete while I read the patch notes!

Can I just say thank fuck I found someone else who doesn’t like three body problem.

It’s not just the heavy handed politics. It’s literally everything about the book. Narrative devices used are absolutely garbage. Oh there’s a video game for some reason, and people LARP as Newton and Qin Shih Huang down to their exact personalities. Why the fuck?

In the second book there’s an entire section dedicated to the protag’s fantasies. A woman should have at most a Bachelor’s so she’s smart but not smart enough (paraphrased). What the fuck? And don’t get me started on the suicide bomb strat that immediately saw the Muslims and Japanese roped in.

The characters are incredibly dull. They just do one thing, but they don’t even do that well. Oh here’s Mr. Army guy; personality: army salute-y pragmatic unfeeling. The only character that has an added dimension would be Da Shi the policeman, but adding one more dimension to a point simply results in a plane.

People claim he had innovative ideas for sci-fi. They do realise that the Dark Forest Hypothesis was proposed by someone other than cixin, right?

This turned out to be a rant – could you tell I hate-read this book cause it pissed me off to no end?

I never expected a Hollow Knight reference here

Also that machine only works under very specific circumstances, so you fear changing anything in case your entire protocol breaks and you have to start from scratch.

You hate animals thus avoid them at all costs?

Who the fuck downvoted you? I’ve never encountered anyone bullying fat people in the gym before. Maybe these memers should actually go visit a gym.

I’m upset that HiFi Rush didn’t win anything at all

Tunic is amazing! Although the combat feels very clunky (maybe I’m spoiled by sekiro).

Thankfully, you can just turn on reduced difficulty, since the beauty of the game lies not in the slow combat, but the puzzles and puzzles within those puzzles. Also the main character is adorable.

I think the people who downvoted you don’t actually understand that this is really Malaysia being antisemitic. This is a country (my country, mind you) that has a term for the Jewish Agenda (Agenda Yahudi), and thought that the vaccines were haram because the Jews were purposely putting pork serum into it.

I’m against Israel as well, but you’d think people would have some nuance when discussing topics like these.

That’s fried rice, not white rice steamed or cooked in a rice cooker. I can imagine putting ketchup on a nigiri and immediately getting scolded in Japan.

Without him I’d have failed linear algebra

Me putting paper into the autoclave for the sake of the environment

Good God what happened then?

Steamed? Nah you gotta stir fry that shit for maximum flavor. Or pop some in the oven/air fryer to get delicious crispy broccoli.

Is there some gambler challenge that you’re trying to clear? I gave up at the blackjack one and shot the dealer

Yeap fully agreed here as well. I do think the medium itself is shackled by its own chains, but my goodness when you find a game that does it well – the feeling is astounding.

I guess it depends on the player as well. I adored how TLOU2 handled its story but most people might disagree.

Anyway, I’ve come to the realisation that I’ve mostly been reading non fiction lately! Maybe that’s why I’m so fiction starved.

If you’ve any books to recommend I’d love to hear them!
