TBH I got it specifically to make chip music, in like 2011. Making music on it is pretty cool actually, but while I did try a couple of games on it it didn't really wow me. Even beyond the outdated technology, I don't really like playing games that don't let you quickload, especially when they're actually kind of hard or generally have a lot of unskippable repetition.

MS Word is essentially a monopoly, but that doesn't mean that every detail of its features is worth copying - quite the opposite, actually. And again, why do you even want to automatically capitalize the first word after a line break that is not a proper sentence stop?

Or why LibreOffice is so stubborn on keeping the menu bar default instead of the ribbon-bar

AFAIK many users, especially those used to the old UI, dislike the ribbon design.

Too real.

I found that LO doesn’t auto-capitalise first letter after line breaks but only after end of sentences, something Word has been doing as long as I can remember, LO argument is that only a . and ! characters mark the end of a sentence in “proper English”. line breaks don’t qualify as a proper end of a sentence for them.

Why would you even want that? It's dangerous to change written text automatically, a lot of people will be annoyed because they wanted exactly what they wrote. Capitalizing after . or ? makes enough sense to automate it because of grammar rules, but there's no hard-and-fast rule for capitalization after line breaks.

Only console I ever got was the original Game Boy. But I'll definitely upgrade my PC at some point, there's only so many games I actually like and I don't think I'll be content just never playing the next Baldur's Gate 3. I'll have to upgrade my PC anyway at some point just for regular PC things, might as well buy a new GPU, too.

I might consider stopping when there's some new ubiquitous gaming technology that I'm just not into (e.g. I still haven't tried a VR game and I'm not keen on changing that anytime soon).

I'd seriously consider donating some of it.

Eating the entire thing is not generally a requirement for something being edible. You can't eat an entire cow, yet cow meat is considered edible (and if you want to say "but you can freeze a cow and eat it bit by bit", consider an adult blue whale - I don't think one human eats that much meat in a lifetime).

You can absolutely eat rocks, most of them aren't even that bad for you if they're somewhat smooth and not too large. Or just grind it down into a powder and bake it into bread, mix it into a milkshake or make a pill out of it. "healing earth" is a thing (helps with digestion) and it's just clay, you're supposed to either take it as a pill or mix it into water.

Everything's edible at least once!

Witnesses? They're just ... things. (Zeugen)

Can you recommend a good harpy?

I have not! Can you recommend a good harpist?

I've been to therapy for more normal things, can't say it helped much. Therapy can be a bit overrated by certain people.

I looked up ephedrine, as far as I could tell the side effects were quite heavy compared to caffein or cocaine (though cocaine makes up for it by being very addictive).

I don't think the political compass is working that well for this. WTF is leftist or authoritarian about the wizard's behavior?

amazing

TIL classical Europe had cocoa and synthetic amphetamines

Hm, which of these are actually stimulants (i.e. substances that increase alertness)? The ones I know seem to be depressants, painkillers and hallucinogens, which seem less useful immediately before battle than stimulants.

It wouldn't be so hateable if there weren't so many good things about it!

I’ll ride his Arch til the day I can’t. Not a scratch.

Riding a vehicle without ever letting it get a scratch in Cyberpunk 2077 is quite impressive. I think I "scratched" Jackie's bike in under a minute when I got it in my first playthrough.

Now I want to know what kinds of stimulants were available to Roman-era Germanic people!
