    I like steam. They are a good pro customer company.

    As a developer steam isn’t as nice. They use their dominant market share which is close to a monopoly to take large cuts from developers. Even smaller ones.

    They also disallow selling the game lower elsewhere.

    But among large gaming companies they are still easily one of the best.

    What they did for Linux is huge.

    I hope when gave leaves we won’t all be fucked royally and be reminded why a monopoly is bad.

    So overall positive but conflicted.









  • Like many adults I just got recently diagnosed in my mid 30s.

    For me it was that I can’t have adhd because I was good at school and uni. Then I completely fell apart when I entered work.

    I had to go through depression and burn out and bore out and more. Eventually someone said I could have adhd and just been able to deal due to high IQ.

    Turns out that’s what it was. I’m really good at learning new stuff. So school and uni. I really suck at repeating the same shit all day. So work. Welp. Helps to know.










  • I know this is likely rage bait or trolling but I’ll answer for those who are actually curious.

    By experiencing a great childhood and a family life full of joy, respect, happiness and safety they will realize this:

    Being there for those who you love, for your wife, kids, friends and extended family is much more important and more manly than chasing short lived pleasure just to see manly on the outside. Like cigars.

    Taking responsibility, being reliable, being there for others can take many forms. And it’s what great men do. It’s what great people do in general.

    And that can take many forms. Working a job, running a house hold, and so on.
