The worst part is that I genuinely bought it until I saw which space this is.

With all the crazy shit so far this wouldn’t even surprise me.

Should have worded that differently.

-W11 sucks so much I was gonna move to Linux regardless and that happens to coincide with a time in my life where I want to waste less time playing games.

Steam has done something amazing, I hope GOG follows at some point.

Well if anything it’ll be easier to install a proper OS over it afterwards instead of having to wrestle W11’s greedy clutches.

I’ve always been a very fond gamer.

But W11 as an OS, the state surveillance style telemetry and some other recent developments surrounding MS made me largely ditch gaming in favour of Linux. I mean sure I’ll play a game here n there but I don’t feel like investing hours of my days into the next “big thing” anymore. Linux is where it’s at.

Ah I see you’ve been chosen as well. I’ll see you at the next secret meeting then?

Wait, wait, let me get my best accent going:

“If you want less crime, give people less reason to crime.”

But that would involve not shooting people, so I understand that might be a bit out there.

Time to spread more awareness and degoogle the normies.

I hear ya.

They’re a product of the machine that raised them.

They all constantly get told to expect the unexpected because one of these days jebus comes back, or one of them is going to be “the leader of a new generation” (vom). And not a damn thing happens aside from a kid getting cured from a headache after 2 hours of hysterical prayer and a painkiller…

Some of them get abused in various forms, most of them are truly holding onto their god thing because the leadership sure ain’t stepping up aside from more catchphrases and “encounter weekends” (or whatever the fuck they come up to waste time). Life is under unbearable tension with a monster of a sky daddy god looking over your shoulder making sure you’re only using it to pee. And keep fighting of all the thoughts 24/7. Especially the empathetic ones.

Deny yourself, and after that deny yourself even harder. I dare you, I double dare you! (And don’t ask questions, it’s a weird complex book you should know but heart but don’t expect to understand any of it’s ~~hatred~~ love.

All that bottled up hatred has to go somewhere. And it spills out onto the one group they can aim at (because praying against imaginary demons gets old fast)=> all the OTHER people.

And then they act surprised that they don’t fit in with the rest of society.

I know it’s meagre consolidation but let’s be glad you got out of there.

“Why I can’t I fall asleep on floor? I’m pursidunt.”

Next stage is you’re writing your own backstory that somehow combines minis from different factions and games even.

You take care to walk a fine line to keep it cohesive and relatable.

You invest time and effort to bring it to life on the table.

You even spend hours play testing the rules and stats you wrote, with an eye on keeping things balanced.

“Nah man, let’s just play 40k as is, I mean your stuff seems weird”.

Every republican accusation is a confession.

Determination to install Linux on ps increases.
