They've done the cosmic horror joke many times. I found it funny in my 20s.

Gabe's art has gradually deformed and is just horrible now.

This ignores subjectivity. What is a 7/10 for most gamers could easily be a 10/10 for a specific type of gamer. Rather than focusing on review scores people should focus on the niche of games that they really enjoy.

If you keep trying to use GUI to do what you want you're gonna have a bad time. The majority of Linux users doing power stuff like this will use the terminal. Because of that, the GUI is unfortunately underdeveloped.

It's good once you learn it though. Let's say that tool never existed. I could easily write a bash script to compress images in cbr or cbz myself. Or autoconvert all cbr files to cbz. Or watch my downloads directory for new files and do that automatically. It's very flexible and empowering if you learn it. Nobody can make a GUI for every single thing people want a script for.

Alcohol withdrawal can kill you. That alone makes it more dangerous. Serious addiction to alcohol (physical dependence, 20+ units a day every day, no longer eating properly) is a completely different beast to moderate consumption. It is very, very hard to quit.

I learned how to do it purely to get free food at a restaurant. The idiot proof method takes about a day to learn and a bit longer to do reliably. Recommended!

I thought they restored all the edited comments? Maybe I'll give it a go then.

Google Tasks is effectively unavoidable if you use Google products.

I had no idea it existed...

it's not the background radiation that worries people, it's the risk of a Fukushima-type incident.

Since I was a kid I've always run up and down flights of stairs and continue to this day. It is fun, it's a workout and I find walking far too slow.

I'm 50 hours in, choose my character order and still getting like 500k. What's your secret?

All of those examples seem less about gaming and more about the guy being an asshole. You could replace gaming with any other hobby or activity. Gaming just happens to be a very common hobby.

I agree, it's who you date. I have dated women in 30s and 40s. One really wanted to play Beat Saber in VR. One plays Spiderman on the PS4. Even if they say "I don't play games" on the first date, they might be hiding a Switch under their pillow...
