  • You could look at any country in the world and find leaders that were just as bad and even worse throughout history. I think the takeaway should be that shitty people exist. Some of it is a product of the times, some of it just being awful people. Shitty people have and always will exist.

    Edit: With these downvotes it almost seems like y’all thought I was defending them. I absolutely was not defending them. :)

    Honestly, the secret is not being a publicly traded company. All the others have to make the shareholders happy while steam just does steam. If the line doesn’t have to constantly go up you can pretty much do whatever you want as long as you’re still making profit. And if what you’re doing is already working you don’t need to add gimmicks or advertisements to milk it as much as you can just to appease the shareholders.


  • I miss Windows 7 and the early days of Windows 10. Windows 7 was definitely peak Windows and I can’t really remember any complaints I had with it. It did everything I needed it to and very rarely ran into issues. Gaming was great and the bloatware was minimal, at least compared to now.

    Nowadays Windows is full of bloatware and shitty decisions. Gaming has been better on Linux ever since I started using it a couple months back. I’m playing games like the Final Fantasy VII Remake and No Man’s Sky this past week and they’ve been running better on Linux.












  • Honestly I’ve been enjoying going to stores in person again. It definitely takes some getting used to after the convenience of online shopping has been a part of my life pretty much since I was in highschool, but I think the change is worth it. I’ll just make a list of things that I need and when the list gets big enough I just make a day of it and just go to a bunch of different stores.

    I kinda forgot how satisfying it can be to actually go shopping. I got a couple new pillows and some new bed sheet sets last month and it was so nice being able to feel what I was buying before I actually got it. If I’d gotten the pillows from Amazon I guarantee I’d get something cheap and not find out until they show up that they are awful. And I probably wouldn’t return them and just justify it and convince myself they were better than my old pillows because they are “new.”



  • I drive a small 4 cylinder Honda. Gas mileage is amazing. If anything, gas is so cheap compared to groceries I’m thinking about getting a Costco membership even though I have to drive for an hour and a half. A week’s worth of groceries at Kroger is almost $100 for one person. It costs me $65 to fill up my gas tank which lasts me 2-3 weeks. I might as well just drive the extra distance and buy bulk.
