I found it helps to drag yourself into a physical game

I’ll put on my VR helmet, and be like:

“I am too tired to spend another day in a post apocalyptic hellscape, I am full of burrito”

And then the edges of my vision will fill in with color, and I’ll dig my boots into the gray ashes, listen to the howl of the wind, gaze out at the two huge planets hanging over the horizon, and observe the whispers of a civilization built upon successive graveyards, gliding my fingers over carvings, wondering about the lives of the ancients.

Brain: I’m sorry what the fuck was the question? Holy shit.

Edit: The game is Kenshi. Into the Radius (VR) is another experience.

I mean; you’re right, they’re probably taking some kind of supplements and are on a very regimented diet

Obviously we don’t need to be in the same caliber or grade as them, it’s more to do with the general attitude or headspace they’re in

I don’t think fitness should be competitive, other than with oneself, and those small lifestyle changes amount to being able to sustain said athletic lifestyle late into life

(See: That 90 year old guy always doing winter morning walks in the park!)

I began working out heavily in my 20s because I was scared of being unable to in my 30s.

The key was discipline and training, your body remembers, and you age but you keep half.

I look at Arnie for inspiration, he was happy and still pumping iron in his 60s and 70s, proving it’s all about a good mental attitude and consistency

Looks like Max Payne 2

Great game

My eScooter weighs 42 pounds.

A 28 pound motor that’s 750 kW?

Holy fuck.

That’s power density straight out of science fiction

If video games determined our real world behavior,

I’d be a robot witnessing the fall of humanity, whose crime was free will

Don’t know if that translates to a job necessarily

To filter out OCD people (/s)

I had this exact, acute thought as I was going up the sweaty people filled stairs into a rave hall.

“What the hell am I doing” and also: “Would I do this if I were 53?”

I looked down at my hard abs and skin-tight shirt and had a bit of a Zen moment, thinking: “Youth is wasted on the young. You’re young. Enjoy this opportunity.”

I was 21, I danced and partied my heart out that night and I regret nothing.

Holy hell. What an insightful article, well articulated, well-written.

This guy knows his stuff!

I laughed at loud at the “ARSE” reversal

It’s such low hanging fruit omg

I lived and breathed Morrowind.

But I’ve got optimistic insane news for you all

IT’S HAPPENING AGAIN

I’m playing a game called Kenshi and it feels like it’s 2003!

I’m at the verge of tears. Chase that gaming high, YOU’LL FIND IT!!!

People with ADHD are dopamine-starved and there’s been a theory that it’s down due to genetic diversity in ancient human tribes:

A certain percentage of the human population would be night owls for watching the tribe at night, and later on, functioning as city guard, and the ADHD crowd?

They were the explorers and seekers, finding new routes, new trade opportunities, unhappy with sitting in one place for any extended length of time.

It only stands to reason, that in a time of turmoil or crisis, you’d have the dopamine-starved percentage of the population suddenly locked in, it’s what they’re meant for

Replacements:

Titanium Backup -> SystemPanel2

MX Player -> Poweramp

Google Play Music -> YouTube Music

ES File Explorer -> FX File Explorer

Swype Keyboard -> Gboard

Google Plus -> Google One

Inbox -> Gmail

SuperSU -> Magicsk

You’re welcome :3

In well-established cities, over time there becomes a demand to facilitate long-distance travel throughout the entire city core, which necessitates the construction of highways. When such a thing is not possible due to the abundance of skyscrapers and other allocated lands, they repurpose or repave certain streets into parkways or “avenues”.

Sometimes, no modifications are made whatsoever except for the traffic signaling system where there are discrete “blocks” of green light traffic allowing you to travel a mile in the city before you hit another red light (for instance heading north on Broadway, New York City).

Zigzagging through local streets is a surefire way to run into red lights and stop signs, reducing your “average speed” and increasing your total trip time.

What if I told you that North-South travel on a grid based city system is much faster than East-West, and although mathematically zig-zag is the shortest distance, pragmatically, the logical path is the one with the fewest turns (especially left turns) taken?

No. Hyperdimensional math is required here, I feel.

I used a flip/dumbphone for most of my teenage and high school years.

It’s like asking what would make me go back to having a DOS computer and playing Wolf3D after being in full body virtual reality with Half Life Alyx.

What’s an “immutable” distro? Is this like the OSS version of a closed/prop kernel?

Honestly that’s a genius marketing strategy

I have no idea. It’s already compiled so it’s pure state and runs on any platform. It would be a monumental project to reverse engineer the kernel at this point.

Why?

That wouldn’t do anything but suspend the program for a few seconds.

Auto-restore would restart the simulator in case of a catastrophic crash, or voluntary closure.
