I like how supportive their neighbor is being

Probably. I recently installed a bunch of packages so now I use emacs to check my RSS feeds, look up the current word’s definition or synonyms, browse Gopher and Gemini sites, check my email … I told myself I was doing it just for fun to see how much truth there was to the whole “emacs is a great operating system” joke but I genuinely love how handy it all is and I’m worried I’m going to keep falling in even deeper. A part of me does dislike not using purpose built programs for each of those functions (“do one thing and do it well”), but it’s been a fun experiment so far

This feels like a meme a vim user would make about emacs being bloated

Our local Browncoats chapter rents out a theater once a year to watch Serenity, and everyone singing along with the song is so glorious

This is why I get a lot of comfort stargazing at night. So much stress or worry melts away when the realization hits that nothing really matters anyway. I don’t think this is quite what Tolkien was going for with the scene where Sam sees a star up through a small opening in the gloomy sky when he’s struggling, but it’s how I took it.

I think the tricky part for some people is trying to figure out why living life should matter at all, then, but it’s always worked for me. Just because a moment ends doesn’t mean that the moment shouldn’t matter to you, if you find it fulfilling or meaningful.

I’m trying to figure out why this got downvoted

Stop it. Get some help.

Give it a play sometime, great game

Re: Transistor. I put Spine on our office playlist and it was awesome when someone else recognized it. That game’s soundtrack is incredible. Also how dare you not include Bastion in the Darren Korb list

I’m at the point where every time someone yells at me for protesting and tells me how useless it is, I chalk that up as a little sign of success, however small. If this guy is taking time out of his day to rant at me at length about what I’m doing, that means others are likely taking notice too.

Do I think protesting is going to magically solve the issue? Of course not. But it’s something I can do to bring attention to the issue, spread awareness, and encourage others who feel the same way but might feel alone or unsupported about it. I’m always happy to hear about what else I can do to better effect, but somehow that never seems to be something the naysayers are willing to provide. It’s always just tearing down, no advice or building up.

Nobara had some issues updating correctly for me, but I haven’t seen anyone else express that

This is why I stopped using it. I could never find anyone else with the same issue or any advice on it either. Glad to find out it wasn’t just me after all

I always see a lot of discouraging responses whenever protests are brought up. I don’t think protests on their own will solve most major issues, but they’re indicative of people caring enough to start going out of their way to do things, and can have awareness and ripple effects on a population.

How about instead of discouraging people from protesting as if it’s pointless, encourage them to keep up that energy and recommend what else they can do now that they’re all fired up and engaged? Why not fan the flame instead of raining on it?

Cast magic missile, make him dance

Edit: can you make the spell deliberately miss? I tend to avoid playing casters

This is still my default. One day I’ll break the habit
