Also, you lose less stamina as you level up. Better tools and food make energy irrelevant. Early game, you start from scratch and it gets easier over time. You get sprinklers etc. No more watering.

It's a farming game. Farming is a big part of it. Expecting not to farm in a farming game is a little misplaced as an expectation.

I love Rimworld and Stardew, but they're different. Rimworld is a strategy game in which you strategically plan and the NPCs run their lives until you take control of them.

You can respect a game and not enjoy it. Games are art and taste is important. I hate first person shooters for example. Don't force yourself of you don't want to, but expectation and comparison are thief's of joy. If you want to enjoy something, don't expect, just play and let it guide you and choose which parts of the mechanics you enjoy interacting with more.

And you think US government and 5 eyes countries won't have access? What happens when that elaborate detailed profile data of yours gets hacked?

You are free to choose at any point where you draw the line.

Chromium fork. Chromium code, Google defining compatibility standards. Firefox (or it's forks) is the only real alternative.

Best to just lead with the facts. "Due to having issues with x, y and z, I went to the doctor. After further investigation it has been confirmed as stage 2 xxxxxx cancer. I'm still trying to understand more about it."

As another poster said, give them time to emotionally process this. They care about you so are naturally going to be affected and that is fine. Doing this in person is preferable.

Sorry to hear this.

Stage 2 means it is still localised, right? It may have been found in time and is treatable.

I don't know about your uncles cancer or what stage it was but not all cancers are the same and some are very treatable. In one type of cancer, survival after 5 years is 99% for stage 1, 95% for stage 2, 50-6i% for stage 3 etc. Stage 2 can be a very winnable battle. Even stage 3 can be a worthwhile battle.

You may be avoiding a very winnable battle in which you can have a long and enjoyable life after some short term discomfort. Some cancers can he treated in a localised manner with radiotherapy rather than chemo.

I implore you to verify what the treatment options are and success rates before making a hasty and final decision.

A relative of mine came back from stage 2 doing pretty well and is pretty happy after a year of treatment. Some of it obviously a little challengeing, but they have no regrets.

Gosh. Bob Dylan is hard work even after eating and drinking. I guess folk like to prove they can handle suffering.

I tend to only follow Indie games. Have no interest in micro transactions, first person shooters, or watching rather than playing games. There is very little in the AAA sphere that interests me.

I just don't see a good reason to use Manjaro and many reasons not to.

Not heard of the first one.

Which Star Wars game release was trash with horrific performance issues?

Regardless of content. I learned a long time ago that only unhappyness can come from paying for games by EA.

Though all AAA should come with a "may cause irritation" label.

Indie games are king and that is where my money goes.

Analysis from the BBC (who are usually quite motivated and effective at justifying Israel actions).

The sheer devastation is incredible. 66% of buildings damaged. 90% of the population displaced. Water and sanitation systems non-functional. 53/500 needed lorries entering the territory per day (down from 142). They're not even trying to look they're helping now. The population have been squeezed into over-populated tent cities.

It feels like they think if they create the conditions for disease and it kills people, they don't get blamed.

To me, it's hard to think of a way this could get closer to genocide. Absolutely sick.

Israel seem to be galvanised by inaction of the world and probably looking to do the same in Lebanon. Is Yemen after? Where does this stop?
