Oh wow I haven’t played since the original Source. I thought you were just talking about how you had to manage an equipment budget in a match. But no, legit gambling scheme with real time and money for what amounts to NFTs that can only be used within Steam’s ecosystem.
The vast majority of their players are just addicts who fell victim to the predatory mechanisms.
I don’t play Fortnite, but the only players I know are kids, and they just play it because that’s what everyone else is playing and they want to play with their friends. I’m not excusing the company for monetizing the shit out of it, but (anecdotally) the players’ behaviour just reminds me of me and my friends playing Dooms, UTs, or Quakes back in the day.
Same mood when people complain about corpo media
I feel for them, but they should know they are making a choice by staying

I had the same experience. It could even be a long time before you were allowed to play, so reading the manual just increased the anticipation and made your mind wander wildly with all the possibilities.
Agreed, finding a manual should always be the first step to solving a problem imo. Even when searching online, I prefer if I can find the official docs/wiki for a piece of software, then search within that.
I have a small amount of swap that I can use for extra burst maybe once or twice a week. I almost always use it up on work.

You decided on a new home yet? What’s your selection criteria.
I’d be tempted to make a single user instance, given how there’s an ansible playbook you can just run.
Yeah just having a larf, in the style of the op.
And then your prompt is all messed up, and your output is missing \rs for some reason, so output prints like:

Feather gauntlet. Some beeswax terminals emulate it if you run kill -SIGFET $(pidof <your-gaunt-applet-here>).
I usually head the file, which at worst triggers the feather gauntlet
Speaking of the 'don, it’s not really my usual thing (I never loved twitter), but I have to say it’s really bumping lately. Seems like lots of great conversations whenever I visit. I think it’s growing on me.
It’s a really popular alternative to substack, for one. That’s mostly how I know about it — many writers of conscience I subscribed to migrated over when ss went rotten.
Depends on the operation. It’s pretty easy in ranger or vifm.
