Unreal Tournament and Quake 2 for me.

I like TUIs for a lot of reasons, but this one might be the biggest.

I agree, I never found changing diapers that difficult or bad. I was also hardened by years of chronic insomnia so the sleep disruption wasn't a big deal, I took most of the night-time duties to let mom sleep.

The thing I remember being most annoyed about was cleaning all the bottles. That was really obnoxious.


Not to mention that it seems like everything has to go through like 10 redirects just to log in, and then you have to dismiss various pop-ups before you can just do whatever you went there to do. Some will say that the last part is just a UX problem, but in my opinion, sluggishness is the king of UX prooblems.

On the topic of Electron, I’m really torn. I can’t help but feel some gratitude for the fact a few of the work tools I need work on Linux (stuff like Slack, Teams, Zoom).


You’re not alone. Like many in this thread, I have kids and a house, etc. etc. Never needed anything like this. Maybe jotting down a note with pen and paper now and then, or at most, e-mail myself a reminder of something.

I have to wonder if some people use these systems to make themselves feel more important than they actually are.


Hmm, when I think “old Internet” I don’t think Napster, IE, WAP… I think usenet, gopher, telnet MUDs, IRC netsplits and FTP warez.


I wonder if anyone else has experienced this. The brain zaps I got when stopping Lexapro (Escitalopram) were identical to brain zaps I get when I’m sick from something like the flu and I’m very tired. I have no idea as to an explanation. Anyone else?



I found this disappointing too. I know they don’t have the resources to build their own equivalent of Nanite and such, but… On top of the performance issues, there were a number of things that actually looked so much better in the 2014 game. For example, the forcefields and water ripples.


I just found out the Talos 2 DLC is out on Steam this Friday!


It really kills my productivity too, although I don’t suffer from ADHD. For me it’s about the feeling of being seen/watched that makes me feel anxious and self-conscious all the time. I’d also be happy with a cubicle as long as it blocks line of sight.


The same anxiety occurs with camera ON Zoom meetings. It's okay to have the camera on for a few minutes during a meeting but if folks aren't talking they shoul dbe allowed to turn it off. This is because you can't tell who's actually "watching" (looking at) you so you are in a heightened on edge state. This is the cause of Zoom metting fatigue. In an actual meeting room you can glance around a definitely tell who, when, and how often people are watching/looking at you.


And these corner places where you get a stream of people walking from behind nonstop.
