I don’t see the humble brag. If that’s what ADHD has been for you, why shouldn’t you be allowed to share it? But I’ve been in the exact same situation, so I might be biased. 😋

On the bright side, you’ve now got squeaky clean disk space to fill with new projects!

946,944 currently, it’s almost there!

Oh well, I wouldn’t have been welcome anyway, seeing I’ve had the audacity to be critical of Israeli genocidedefense, TACO and Daddy Put-it-in.

Guess I’ll go spend my tourist money elsewhere.

And don’t forget the US will again get to decide to arbitrarily discard any nuclear agreements, which is of course another great incentive for Iran to not start a military nuclear program.

No, but I use Arch btw.

Has it really been 20 years? Damn, I’m not ashamed to admit I don’t think I ever finished the game in that time.

Each playthrough ended in fucking around with gasoline, pissing out some innocent bystanders that happened to stray too close and taking out the rest with cat-silenced guns. Bonus points if the cat gave out and was launched straight into somebody’s face, vomit all around. Good memories playing this with my younger brother. 😁

Seeing how they screwed over Mick Gordon, the composer for the previous two installments, I’ll vote with my wallet and skip this one. My backlog is big enough as it is anyway.

Impressive that it was implemented with just Lua and, from what I could see, without completely destroying the framerate.

Fuck it, I don’t seem to have AD(H)D. That’s why I’ve spent the better part of the day recharging so I could pretend to be social in the evening while on vacation with the in-laws and a 2-year old niece. I can’t fucking filter her screams, the noise of having 7 adults around me and I’m so fucking glad of not having kids myself.

Yeah, FO3 wasn’t perfect, but at least it had its darker edges. Feel like a slaver? Sure, no problem, you can enslave random wastelanders and sell them for profit. Screw over BoS? Broken Steel let you do that, RIP Citadel. The Pitt gave an antagonist with a motive which turned out to be a bit more nuanced than it initially seemed. You could roleplay a fat-shaming, racist PoS if you wanted to, instead of presenting only safe options.

Meanwhile a Bethesda game like Fallout 3 had its fair share of flaws, but gave you plenty of opportunity to decide if you wanted to be the good guy or not. Blow up a town? Kill off all residents of Tenpenny Tower, or whack all the ghouls that want to take up residence? Why not all of them? You decide!

It also wasn’t afraid of locking players out of quests if they behaved like an asshole. I liked that, why would somebody try to work with you after you just gave them the proverbial finger?

Far better than ‘oh golly, you just told me that I’m not a nice person. Well, that’s not very neighbourly of you, but I’ll pay you my life-long savings if you hop over to the next hub and return my package that I conveniently know is collecting dust over there, but can’t be bothered to fetch myself’.

There are at least three rapists in Morrowind, although technically it isn’t really rape when somebody only wants to gently rape your corpse. So let’s keep it at two.

Anyway, it seems they were already toning it down quite a bit in Oblivion if there was only one to be found.

I know, and the ‘fuck Microsoft’ is completely warranted for that. But shouting that and then coming up with a story where somebody enabled it themselves and subsequently lost their key, that doesn’t make a lot of sense. Unless it was to illustrate the dangers of FDE, but in that case the point could have been made a bit clearer.

But how is that relevant to your ‘Fuck Microsoft’ if he knowingly encrypted his device, which is how you make it sound?

I’ve enabled FDE on one of my Linux devices, I’ve already had to mount the filesystem in a rescue environment once because a failed update caused the system to be unable to boot. I would also have been hosed if I had lost the encryption key. Ok not really, because that’s what backups are for, but you hopefully get the point.

Good point, although admittedly I’ve had my fair share of Wayland-related issues with KDE. Unless you want those few extra FPS in a game or HDR, is there really a noticeable difference from an average user’s perspective?

Yeah, that’s how it usually goes when I go to the GP. Can’t express myself, mind goes blank or gets tangled in what I want to say. For my ‘I think I might have ADHD’ talk I also wrote down everything on notes, condensed them to a checklist and just worked through that. Really helped in getting a coherent story across.

That’s rough, sorry to hear that. I only got diagnosed in my late 30’s, ever since high school I felt like something about me was off.

Daydreaming? “Well, you’ve got an IQ of 135, so you are just bored.”

Incapable of starting homework? “Completely normal, you are just bored, try harder.”

At some point I convinced myself I was just lazy, it was only when I hit a roadblock professionally I was finally able to convince a doctor that this could not go on any longer.

It sucks knowing something is wrong, but having to fight to get taken seriously. I hope you are able to find the help you need soon.

Made me (diagnosed with ADHD-I) chuckle, that could definitely be me. Usually one of these:

• Forget the appointment altogether.
• Remember appointment, be unable to do anything beforehand, find something to distract me of that impending appointment dread, forget the appointment that initially took up my entire attention span.

KDE is allegedly better because it gives the user more options, but anyone who’s actually used it will tell you that it suffers from the same kind of bloat and braindead design decisions as gnome.

I’ve used KDE on and off for the past 20 years or so. These days I use KDE on my work laptop and Cinnamon on my personal one. Personally I think they both do their job just fine, but apparently I’m in the wrong.
