Institutuonals like governments and businesses do embrace Linux, too, and I don’t find many regular users running Linux on their machine for anything but IT work

Yes, this was big news all over Lemmy when it happened.

Thanks for bringing it up though! Not everyone might have known that.

бип-буп, на месте

Fair enough!

For building vast structures, to me it’s mostly Space Engineers, but that’s another concept too, not exactly “build a gigafactory” type game. Still, building something big and cool it does.

I’m also sad MMOs are rarely first-person. Like, there was Tera, but it died immediately as I first heard of it, which is super unfortunate because it certainly seemed to tick my boxes.

I didn’t play The Talos Principle, but heard about the game. Spent quite a while in both Portal games though - good times.

aggressively randomly clicking everything at once

Which is yet another confusing thing for me :D

But I learned to play some third-person games, while others still hurt. For example, generally slower pace and auto-aim World of Wacraft is alright, but action-packed Warframe that also offers me to shoot in third person (why on goddamn Earth?) is killing me.

As per Valheim, I tried, but it felt odd to me. But thanks a lot for the recommendation!

oh, the irony!

I never challenged that notion - it’s just that for me personally 2D is a nightmare and 3D is not.

Top down is better, but I’d still rather have even pseudo-3D (like in many strategy games for example, especially older ones).

But yeah, I often challenge my mind thinking that “down” is very arbitrary and is just normally takes along the weight force vector :D

Yeah, kinda captures the idea.

Yes, but my brain subconsciously interprets 2D worlds as ones in which there are front and back (away from screen and in front of it), and I just can’t look there and see what’s there.

Like if you’d build a house with floor, two walls on the opposite sides, and the ceiling, and would decide to completely ignore that your house is actually a tube and two sides are wide open to the outside world.

Nah, actually experienced it with random internal cards and decided to play it safe.

Can’t say for all internal sound cards though, there can absolutely be ones that don’t have the issue.

Probably the only reason I did not get into Terraria as an experienced Minecraft player is that my brain really hates 2D worlds.

I realize I miss out on many wonderful games, but how the hell do you feel comfortable restricted to one plane? This constantly makes me as a character feel I’m out in the open from two sides, and God knows what’s there.

Maybe it’s some weird quirk, but my brain is strictly 3-dimensional.

G5 is a USB card. And I’d argue that’s the best approach, as sound signal being analog is highly susceptible to interference, and insides of a computer have a lot of that.

No idea honestly :D

The modern G5 runs perfectly alright though.

Still running Creative SoundBlasterX G5

Amazing card, and the series is very much alive

There’s nothing wrong in speaking out for other groups for as long as it actually corresponds to the current needs of people inside the group, as defined by themselves.

This is what being an ally is all about.

But yes, one should better consult people on what they ask for in the first place.

That’s how the Juggernaut collective started

The placebo effect is a simple psychological phenomenon affecting only the human body itself (i.e. not bringing changes to the world outside the body itself, which is literally directly regulated by the nervous system), and requiring a total of zero supernatural things.

It’s just the interaction of the nervous system with various organs of the body. Aside from placebo and nocebo, this may also lead to psychosomatic disorder, and long-term stress wear and tear. Certain expectations or stressors influence the way organs are regulated, which may lead to positive or negative outcomes depending on the context.
