  • I also do this. But I do not necessarily think it as a bad thing.

    I do not need to finish the book in one sitting, it’s fine to wander, I usually just just went on a tangent on a relevant topic though. Reading for an hour is fine, as is a 5 minute session.

    Maybe immersing myself reading books just not that fun for me. But I can sit for hours studying music even without touching my instruments, just reading the chart and analysing the harmony and what not. I think reading like any other skill, needs training and I just haven’t give it enough time.

    I’m a late millennial, and like it or not I’m used to being able to access relevant context and information with just a click (like Wiki).



  • Nintendo games, by comparison, are worth more than the slop that Ubisoft craps out

    Agree, I grew up with Playstation up until the ps3. I have never owned a Nintendo console my whole life and the only Mario games I’ve tried is the O.G back then, but it’s clear to me that Nintendo put better effort into every bit of design of their IP release.

    I know the Jazz scene would go nuts over a “Mario Kart Lick”, and I never played Mario Kart even once.

    The only thing stopping me from owning their console is the lack of regional pricing.

    https://xkcd.com/2501 to some extent.

    Yeah, Linux user can/willing to read instructions that (the important part IMO) unfamiliar to them, that’s like not what average user would do.

    Most users know how to install something on Windows, they’ve used it since they were toddler and whether or not you think it’s a better experience in Linux is irrelevant.

    Most software they need in Windows has a giant download button on the respective site, double click the downloaded file and you’re done.

    99% of the time you can immediately start the program or there will be a shortcut on the desktop.

    Also, gaming. Like it or not it is a casual workload, and it’s not as straightforward on Linux.


  • Finished God of War (2018) and now starting Ragnarok.

    I was skeptical at first since I played all the OG GoW titles including PSP back in the day, will I like this new Kratos ?

    And boy (heh) what a ride. I knew the gameplay would be fun at least combat wise, but I didn’t expect having someone to accompany Kratos would be this entertaining.

    Though IMO ‘evil’ Atreus arc feels too short, he just saw his bad deed once and somehow because Brokk and Sindri made up he is also good now.

    Overall it’s a blast and I can’t wait to see what they’d do in Ragnarok.


  • I mean, I’m also old and I get what you mean, but I still feel this way on many occasions.

    Games nowadays are huge, and my 50 mbps bandwidth can’t keep up with today’s standard where I’m used to everything happens instantly.

    Also modded games are usually painful to reinstall.
