I’ve treated many games in early access like normal games and had lots of fun - which I would call successful purchases. To me EA means that not all content is there, the game is unfinished but playable. It works better for some games than others:

Timberborn in EA was playable completely and since its a sandbox, hard to notice missing content. Similar with Factorio, Valheim and Rust (I actually miss EA Rust a bit).

Hades, Baldur’s Gate 3 were story heavy games so they did rely on being complete. Maybe a little less so for Hades. They were good experiences, but I kept playing them at a minimum and waited for full release.

No. Financially, I’m in a good spot right now.
Most other aspects of my life, I’m struggling hard.

For me it was this

That’s around 1700€, about the average monthly net wage here.
Its a livable wage for a single person, nothing spectacular, should have something left over after everything is payed. For a household of two earning that, its a bit more comfortable.

So I don’t just wake up as Kane, but as him as we’re landing on Stroggos and have to go through that whole ordeal haha. Kinda fucked then. I also wonder how I’ll be able to find love looking like that.

Quake 4, so I’m Corporal Matthew Kane. Hopefully, post stroggification? Half human, half machine.

80-20 rule still holds true, huh?

Hey, we’re all broken inside. You don’t need to point it out.

I dont particularly like Razer, but if there’s anything they do well, its marketing. They’re right… if they’re able to sell a key cap for 90 bucks, their marketing must have been so good in the past they created a literal materialistic cult.

This obviously isn’t for me, its for their cult members. I hope one day, they can exit the public peripheral market and sell exclusively to their cult members at 1000% markup.

Won’t generate much electricity, but for fun, you could just direct mount a bike dynamo on to it and connect to a simple led. You could probably get it to work if you oil it up well. Can also buy a battery management board and connect to a battery so the light can work when there’s no wind!

Alternatively, bore a hole down to the aquifer and let it pump water slowly with mechanical power. That would cost more though.

I would raise all taxes to 100%.

A dropship would come flying overhead and combine soldiers would drop down and arrest you, if you’re lucky.

I’m actually considering going back to doing this… just with blurays.
My data hoarding illness is getting out of hand and m-disks are starting to look attractive to me.

Oh… a random bookmark folder in my browser…

It probably had a good reason to shock you! /s.
By design, SCART carries low voltage, not enough to shock someone. The device it was connected to could have been faulty or badly grounded and leaked higher voltage into the connector though. So its plausible.

35€ on feefal’s art book and I think 30€ for Al Pacino’s biography, translated, as a gift for my mom.
Most books I buy are old and generally cheaper.

SCART was ahead of its time. You could control connected devices with it like HDMI CEC. You could wake up devices through it. You could daisy chain devices together with it. A TV could sent its TV signal down to a SCART connected device from its tuner! No equivalent for this exists today, unless there’s TV that do HDMI OUT! By the end, it could do 1080p!

I need a Lightroom alternative, on linux.
Edit: Looks like rawtherapee is a good one. Funky name though…

Alternate take: how my current PC looks at me.
