I was in my grandma’s house, but the place was kind of an office in that dream. Someone dropped a bag of flour into a trash bin. It gave life to a malign flour frog. I told the frog that it wouldn’t be able to blind me if I kept my eyes closed. It mocked me saying its powers were much stronger than that and proceeded to blind me. I woke up with sore eyes.

What’s the right translation for “pepper” in German? And red pepper, green pepper and so on? I found several words that seem to mean pepper, but not sure if any is better than the others.

Doctor picked them, one by one until something worked.

Can’t believe I used to be afraid of “losing myself” or other shit like that and delayed getting help for 12 years after my initial self diagnosis.

“nah, don’t tell the humans, it would just cause panic and there’s nothing they can do anymore”

We already have too few options to pick from and these days it’s often the case that we don’t even get to choose for ourselves.

The company I work for has a new device security policy that states you need direct approval from the CTO to use anything other than a Mac for work - and even with the approval you’re restricted to Windows or three specific Debian distros.

I tried looking for a new job and from the first three companies I spoke to, two of them also mandated the use of Macs.

Now that you mention it, I remember that I would play it with mouse + controller for some reason (back at 1.0), not sure why I picked that as the best way to play but there was probably something bad about using the keyboard and also something bad about not using a mouse.

The slow movement is what kept me from playing it forever. I know there’s mods that improve it, but I wish the base speed would be higher.

Back at 1.0 launch it also had a bug where walking diagonally was even slower, so that may have affected my judgment as well - it was fixed after a week or so.

They could simply have the pals hold on to gliders that the players can use and nothing would change in the gameplay…

How’s it looking by now?

Two years later, did it live up to your expectations?

How’s it going? Did you get any insight into what he thinks about yet?

Were you able to move out yet? How are things going?

It happened by chance the first few times. Projects were failing and management wanted more resources, I was assigned and noticed problems that hadn’t been noticed. After a few different projects with different issues, I became the default guy to call into ongoing projects. At the time I had already rejected a few promotions because I didn’t like any of the other roles above my position, so I eventually asked management to create a new role for me based on that.

Software Diagnosticist, maybe?

My main role lately has been to jump into failing projects and put them back on track, then leave it back with its own team. Sometimes I’m debugging software, other times I’m “debugging” processes or even team structures. Occasionally even the whole idea behind some project is just messed up and nobody realized.

Do you know any examples of people who are able to reach the people who need to change?

Some times you may need to install a few extra stuff to get a game to run properly, other times you may see a few visual glitches like a pop-up menu not rendering properly, but you’re unlikely to find any game that just can’t run on Linux unless the devs intentionally don’t want people to play it on Linux.

Check protondb for general compatibility of any games you play.

Sadly most times I needed one, I either didn’t know enough to be able to use it properly, or the PC was under too heavy a load that even the TTY was not responding.

Only case where I consider pre-ordering is if there’s a decent discount for doing it and I know that I’ll definitely want the game at launch (for example if most of my group of friends will be playing it at the same time).

Have you played any of the harvest moon / story of seasons games? It’s the series that inspired Stardew Valley. Most of them are, in general, much more chill than even Stardew itself. There are a bunch of them on steam (on there, look only for the story of seasons games and ignore the ones named Harvest Moon)

I said it as a joke but I suspect it might be true, too. I see a lot of people complaining that they see too many posts of people they block.
