  • I'm in a similar boat. The difference for me is that I can definitely tell times where I'm faster. But there are still times where I fumble around. I know that eventually, I'll be way faster using vim motions than I ever was without them.

    When I first started actually trying to use it to do work, it felt pretty bad. But once I got over the hump it felt better.

    I think I'm at the point where I'm at least as fast as I used to be, if not slightly faster.

  • All of your criticisms are spot on. The only thing is disagree with is the story. I thought it was alright. Some of the side quests were great, but there weren't a lot of those.

    I really enjoyed the ship building, but it was extremely limited and unbalanced.

    I will say the loading screens didn't bother me, though.

  • I've always been a mid-range gamer. When I was younger, that's just what I could afford. As I've grown older, I didn't see the point of spending more for high end. Mid-range already feels too expensive. But luckily, the parts last for 5 years easily.

  • The ease of switching really just depends. Myself, I've had several stumbles switching, but I'm still so happy I did and I'm not going back. My wife on the other hand, has had no issues switching from her Chromebook, because she's a super basic user who spends all her time in the browser.

  • When I was 5 or 6, my grandmother got a NES and three games. One was Crystalis.

    Me and my two cousins played the game in turns, and we eventually got to the first boss, which was quite an achievement because there are puzzle elements to the game.

    We could not beat this boss. Several years later, I have my own NES and I borrow Crystalis. I'm pretty sure I got to that boss again and realized something. Hitting him produced a sound that no other monster had. It sounded like hitting solid glass. I finally intuited that I wasn't strong enough and leveled up to level 3, and wouldn't you know it, I beat the boss.

    It's one of my all time favorite retro games. It was so ahead of its time. Worth playing if you've never tried it.

  • Linux is still not ready for mainstream consumers

    Jorge Castro of Universal Blue likes to say that the average person doesn't install operating systems, and I fully agree with him.

    People rock what comes installed on their computer. Anyone who installs an OS them self is not an average user.

    I think we'll see the average user start to choose Linux as more and more manufacturers ditch the Windows tax and ship computers with Linux.
