  • For me personally it’s a bit like… the creation of memories. And the synthesis of what I like to call “ambient feelings” – like vibes or atmospheres people, places or situations give off. A lot of layered emotions, a lot superpositions, where something or someone is multiple things at the same time. “Chimeras”, which are blends of people I know for example.

    Then the details slip away from me and I can’t even talk to anyone about the experience.

    That’s normal. I swear that my dreams are really detailed sometimes, but the memories become muddy the more I think about them.

    Is it really a window to the subconscious for you?

    Yes. I take my dreams very serious. They are weird and hard to describe, sometimes they are cruel in a way. I consider myself a pretty reflected person, but from time to time my dreams show me stuff I don’t want to admit to myself.

    That said, I love dreaming. Reality is rigid and boring. I like to imagine we live and absorb impressions only so our brains can dream. Which is bullshit :D but I enjoy the thought.





  • An improvement of 5-10 fps doesn’t seem like a lot, but it’s like buying a newer gen graphics card, at least for some games. Or what you would achieve with a medium to substantial overclock. In this case it’s just the OS though. Just the software.

    You care so much about glorifying linux everything else falls away.

    What else? Nitpicking at the use of words in news articles?

    What I’m personally more skeptic about is the actual numbers. We don’t have benchmarks. We just have this one table that shows fps, and no 1% and 0.1%s.





  • Clonk Endevour is not my favorite game, but I played it a lot with friends when I was younger. You can play with 2 or even more people, with just a monitor and a keyboard! Also it’s so old it should run on any potato.

    edit: real answer is Slay The Spire

    edit2: ah shit now all of a sudden all the good indie games I played pop up in my head. Project Kat I enjoyed. Synthetik was awesome. Caves of Qud hasn’t been mentioned yet (didn’t play it much though).





  • So this is interesting… My favorite of the definitions of “opinion” I found is

    belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge

    Because I was about to say that it’s impossible not to have an opinion, which might not be entirely correct.

    In DBT we were told that there are helpful, consequential and inconsequential ehm… evaluations? Assessments? Judgments? I don’t know the exact translation. Anyway, an important thing I realized then was that opinions/values etc are not something you form consciously, they just kinda pop up in your head and change shapes depending on what you learn and experience. You are able to detach from your opinions, look at them from the outside.

    edit: so what I ultimately wanted to tell you is that you can do this detachment thing with other people’s opinions as well.
