Kids for me. On my third one. It is hard at times and you sacrifice a lot of your time, and energy (money is less of an issue up to the second one I’d say, the real costs starts at three where you need to upgrade cars and shit) in order to be a good parent. But watching them grow up and be brilliant boys, is very rewarding. I am happy that I am providing them a good life so far, they are smart and devour knowledge, and they take on my interests kinda naturally so it’s fun teaching them things I enjoy.

In a few years we will be nerding out on Dota or PoE or whatever, anime, maybe I will DM an rpg for them and their cousins that live nearby. Start them up with python or so. Teach them Japanese, maybe have them start tennis or so. Or maybe they will nerd out with something on their own. Well see…

Tomorrow I’ll grab the boys and go to the countryside for hiking up the mountains, playing in the forest, eating awesome food in taverns and so on. Will be tiring, but will be fun.

So yeah. Kids are fun and they give me a purpose to strive for. Peace and quiet while being alone was definitely something, but after experiencing both, for me it is purposeless, unfulfilling, and gets pretty boring pretty quick.

Curious to talk about fragmentation in a federated platform.

Go to a museaum, copy an old Greek or roman gold coin in your pocket. Go home, copy many more gold coins. Go to a shipwreck or ruin, dig a bit, produce the coins and voila!

I hope you can get to keep them thought instead of archeological offices. Maybe checkout country policies first.

My Linux stream library is on Ntfs, for theoretical compatibility purposes with Windows which I never boot any more anyway, but generally I have had zero problems apart from an issue with Dota 2 a few years ago where I had to symlink some folder. But I don’t think think it is needed anymore.

I’m not your friend, pal.

Bold of you to assume I hare upgraded in the first place.

I can relate. I was playing whatever the first expansion was. Karazhan or something. 2007? 2008?

First kubuntu, then opensuse, then arch BTW.

It’s very similar in some ways in the surface, but pretty different in essence. I like both. STS is more hardcore and “strict” and choices matter more, MT is more chill, relying on a single good combo usually, but with very high ceiling for broken fun things. I prefer MT more to unwind.

Nice, I love amethyst, I can’t imagine how great it would feel to have found one myself. Anywhere.

Slay the Spire but no Monster Train?

Pink Floyd - marooned.

Have you met any such person?

I have interacted with triple digits number of developers and I have met exactly zero folk with such a need. If there is an actual need by a team member, sure, we will be accommodating.

Until then, however, the much more common thing is for people to have their own preferences for tab width and ignore the current code style, ending up in an identation abomination that sucks for everyone. Therefore, no thanks, forced width for everyone, using spaces.

No point ruining the happy path scenario for a theoretical person with such a disability. If there will be an actual need, sure, let’s convert to tabs only then.

They very well know what they are doing. Take your filthy tabs and get out of here. Spaces only.

Gabriel Knight 3. I dont know if you have played it, but for me it is the king of adventures.

Eeeh… I mean…

Well if you really want it, you don’t even need to logout, but that is not the point…

Well, until you start understanding the game mechanics, you can follow a build guide.

I do not, and I roll my own builds, and I will say they are generally quite successful. I can get ideas from guides, or other builds on poe.ninja, but then I still research and adjust to my liking, budget, and playstyle.

Rolling a build is more than half of the game for me, and I spend a lot of time tuning and testing.

So yeah I’d say there are several layers to playing PoE:

• Playing the campaign and a few maps casually without looking something up. It is still a great experience to discover things and the complexity at your own pace. You won’t get to do the true endgame though, but it is an experience you can have only once, so I would personally recommend to go through it and see how you like it.
• Go with a well described build by someone else. You can reach the endgame, learn how the game works, how the mechanics work, how the market works, how farming works, and lots more things.
• Start rolling your own build. It’s like switching games at this point, theorycrafting a build is the true game, and POE is just a frontend for testing your build. And it feels awesome when you succeed and complete something you can call your own and see it do well. And it is iterative, you learn how building a character works so that you can do even cooler things next time.
• And also do achievent/challenge hunting.

I’ve only followed a build once. And it was fun. Then I rolled my own, and it was more fun for different reasons.

But definitely needs a lot of time investment long term. It should probably take a couple of years for you to be able to claim you know what you are doing. But thankfully, the game respects you and does not demand your immediate time investment. You can play at you own pace. I have work and family, I play for a couple of hours every few days mostly. And it is fine. No one is pressuring me with daily quests and shit like that. I play because I feel like playing. I pause and play other games no problem, depending on my mood. It’s great.

The newest path of exile build with my newest custom build.

Only reason I cared about it was the one in a gazillion chance to get a free steam deck.
