Damn I should do this. I've gotten "Dear ${name}" before tho

Tbh at the moment I just have an idea, tell everyone about it, and I have no energy for it for 2 weeks and forget about it. It's more frustrating because you don't even get the satisfaction of starting anything and seeing the early rapid progress before ditching it

Personally I'd say that "always striving for the maximum and stressing myself out" is a personality trait that's not only a problem in Stardew Valley for me haha. I'm o it's not a great mindset to have, but unfortunately it's a subconscious drive that's hard to eliminate.

I guess it's just a mindset difference. I'd say me and my friends are all pretty competitive gamers (as opposed to more creative gamers). We tend to play games mostly for the challenge. Also didn't help that we had just finished our Facorio playthrough. So in our mind we still had "the factory must grow". So our minds were like "if space -> use space".

If I'd let my brain do its thing we'd be 3 levels of nesting deep on the regular.

While I enjoyed it, it was also very stressful. I think we just played wrong. We covered every millimeter of the plot with farms or other useful stuff and then proceeded to be busy for more than half the day with just maintenance. At some point this meant that we never got to explore and often barely had time to go to the stores or talk to the people in the village.

Apart from overcooked it was probably the most stressful game Is ever played and it's not supposed to be like that

Yeah same. Only phone calls get through, the rest is silent. I don't get spam called enough to have a whitelist. If I expect important messages I might check a bit more often. But I rarely miss something important

500 meters. If the store were at 3km I'd bike there, not walk. I feel like 500m is still an okay walking distance, but at some point I regularly went to a store 800m away and I already preferred to bike there. Walking 3km is definitely a bit of a time investment

I'm not vegetarian but it baffles my mind how many people are against not eating meat. Some people seem to have made eating meat their whole personality and it's insane to me. I don't always eat meat and actively try to reduce it. Personally I've only met vegetarians who encourage this, even if I'm not willing to fully commit. I'm trying to make meat more of a luxury for myself and I think it'd be nice if most people did so. Better for the climate and better for the animals.

Maybe that'd just make the content 1.5 times longer and 1.5 times more expensive

Look, I am the type who watches lectures at 1.25x or 1.5x speed or something. But movies? It'd ruin the pacing. If you can't bring up the attention to watch a movie then maybe you just shouldn't

He's absolutely a hero and without him the death star would've probably obliterated the rebellion (if it even existed without him). His methods aren't exactly "good" though from the perspective of good vs evil. As we see with Mon Mothma who is maybe a bit naïve and definitely doesn't approve of his methods. But I think a rebellion needs a Luthen. He knows he'll be hated by pretty much everyone, but in the end he managed to get so much done. He's the fall guy so the formal rebellion doesn't have to get their hands dirty.

My transition to full on Linux gaming mostly went okay, but recently I've started running into some issues with more demanding games. In games like Cyberpunk 2077, Stalker 2, and inZOI I sometimes get KDE and/or Wayland crashes when the VRAM runs out. In Cyberpunk I can avoid it by not enabling RTX, which is fine. But Stalker 2 and inZOI are basically all-in on raytracing and therefore seem to also fully eat up my 8GB of VRAM.

Is there any way of constraining the games to like 7.5 GB or something? Because they seem to actively work to stay below 8GB, so clearly there is still stuff they can clean up. And even if they'd go over the limit, I'd prefer the game to crash rather than basically having Wayland restart, losing everything I had open. I'm curious for you experiences

 

So as it turns out, photographing moving cars while manually focusing and with relatively little light in the shade is quite hard. This one was quite sharp, but some others failed a bit more

Location is the Twente Rally in the east of the Netherlands

Finally some sun again :) Shot with my Canon EOS 40D and my dad's Cannon 70-200mm f/4 L lens.

Shot with my Canon EOS 300, pretty much directly into the sunshine as God intended, using Ilford HP5 plus 400 iso black and white film.
