  • A potentially interesting topic, but the style in which this article is written is very irritating. It’s trying to put words into the reader’s mouth, and most of the “replies” are rather insulting and overtly stereotypical.

    Back onto the topic itself - some runners run away from something bad in their lives, or have adopted addiction to running to replace some other addiction, usually drugs or overworking. I know a few like that personally, and they are indeed unhappy.


  • I kind of stopped playing after I got all the repeatable techs, and got my interplanetary resource distribution network going among all the planets. Next step would be scaling up towards better and better quality on everything, but I find that my motivation is lacking. I haven’t even launched Factorio in months - I started playing Techtonica, and will move on to Satisfactory next.





  • That works until there is a critical security issue which doesn’t care about your free time, but needs an update right now, and you might not be able to only apply the security fix, because your rolling distro gallops ahead in package version numbers.

    Give me older, but stable and boring over that any day. :)

    I’ve been running Gentoo and Arch on my primary desktop PC for years back when I was a student and had oodles of free time, but in past decade, Debian is what I need. Including what little gaming I do some evenings.





  • Do yourself a favour and get to Aquilo. Without spoiling anything, it’s a nice, relaxed experience after the busy-busy feeling of Gleba, and the planet’s design constraints make building the base a surprisingly fun puzzle experience.

    I thought I would hate it based on cursory descriptions I’ve read, but I’m having a lot of fun slowly building up, with (almost) no time pressure.
