Yeah, usually if I get stuck in my head I’ll just go work in the garden. Bit of sunshine and toil usually gets me unstuck.

Yeah, folks are super reasonable compared to other social media sites, for the most part. The occassional nutter isn’t propped up by some PR company bot net to drive engagement so they just end up downvoted into oblivion.

It’s refreshing.

Yeah I’ve got arms like an orangutan. Despite the amount of stuff I’ve smashed my watch 5 pro against it’s still scratch and scuff free.

Ditto.

Yes because only communists are upset at the state of things and want to revolt…

Americans and their bullshit political takes never cease to amaze me.

The housing crisis is just starting in the US. Look at Canada and Australia to see how fucked the housing market can get.

The worst part is it you have enough family members who used these services your details are likely on there too.

Yeah I just wish NVIDIA would roll out updated drivers more frequently. Would be nice to have ray reconstruction working in Cyberpunk for instance. There are also some issues with the DLSS implementation in Cyberpunk and the current drivers.

For work though I have no complaints. And if you’re a patient gamer who is happy to work through old titles or whatever between driver updates then you’re probably not going to be too distraught.

And of course if more people use Linux, driver support should improve.

Indie Devs haven’t even begun to fully leverage all the new tools offered by recent Blender / Unreal / Godot.

And AAA studios are too big to leverage them effectively.

I think we’re going to see continuing leaps forward in workflow and tools, allowing smaller teams to make whatever they want at any scale. We’re kind of already there honestly, it just about applying it all meaningfully.

Hahaha I’m an Aussie in my thirties and leaving the office behind to start an Elec apprenticeship. Honestly I was good at what I did, but I hated it, and “knowledge workers” don’t have a union.

I like the dopamine rush afforded by projects having a definitive end.

I mean things can get way worse. Look at Canada and Australia. No sign of a crash in either yet, prices just keep climbing. Homeless encampments and the like were alien to us up until recently. The median Aussie household income is ~$65,000. Homes start at about $600,000 and at that price a lot of them are teardowns, you’d be spending at least $200,000 in repairs.

Banks want 20% down.

It is scary, definitely.

I rent a nice house, I’m lucky. I’ve also not had a holiday in over a decade…

Yeah.

I’m personally lucky that my fav titles are CPU hogs, like ARMA 3 and X4: Foundations. Both run better under Linux.

Cyberpunk runs great too, I’m sure once we eventually get the updated drivers for NVIDIA we’ll get Ray Recon too.

I dropped everything in my twenties to look after a dying family member.

Thought my family would support me when all was said and done. I left a very promising career to do this.

Everyone just kind of went their seperate ways and I almost ended up homeless. While my dad immediately found another woman, took all his money and fucked off.

I’m just starting to recover almost a decade later.

I’m kind these days, I think. But I’m not nice.

I just made the jump again and I don’t think I’ll be going back to Windows. I’m getting improved performance in many of my favourite titles.

Very happy to be free of windows finally.
