In my oppinion it never hurts to always have a few tools at hand. A knife, a light, and something that can be improvised as a screwdriver or a hammer is ideal (most of the time that may be the knife and a sturdy flashlight). Man or woman or anything in between or out of bounds, does not matter, having things, when they are needed, is always helpful.

Ofc you could also go the "survival" route and pack survival kits and emergency bags, to have everything for every opportunity at hand, but that may be overkill.

30, german, yes I can, no I do not. I drive a hybrid, so no manual transmission.

  • Speed Cubing
  • Aggressive Inline Skating
  • Magic The Gathering
  • Misc. Video Games
  • Self Hosting
  • Historical European Martial Arts (Swordfighting with a Longsword especially)

Those are the ones for me. Yeah turned 30 this year as well. No Autism (probably) but have ADHD.

Programming is my job, so I don't define that as a hobby 😅

Seems like avoiding context switching and all the overhead associated would make a big difference when pretty much everything in cache is critical data.

It's not. Like the commenter above said: It's a fraction of the task at hand. Especially when you design the rest of the system to run only if necessary. Context Switches are what? like 50 CPU Cycles? Store Registers, Store TCB, Load other TCB and load other register states jump back to PC. Maybe some other OS Shenanigans, but that's basically it.

Now Imagine complex calculations on a 25-Dimensional Matrix.

So much this.
I'd rather give the 20$ to my fav instances, than to an optional app.

20$ can be a lot in different countries. 20$ gave me a up to a week of food when I was studying.

This was the Car ferry from Konstanz to Meersburg. I have the privilege to commute on this ferry every morning and afternoon.

I'll try to capture a clear day when you can see the Alps in the distance.

Skyrim can almost be modded like Skyrim SE, so that's a huge plus. There are also VR specific mods that give you a more natural VR feel, like HIGGS (Haptic Overhaul), VRIK (giving you a body) and PLANCK (gives you the ability to interact more freely and directly with your environment) This definitely gives Skyrim the VR feel that it needs.

Having something like VR Weapon Throw also gives you a lot more options to play the game, adding thrown weapons and semi-medieval firearms. They don't make a lot of sense canonically, but the added gameplay value is tremendous.

Another Idea is to add a couple of "Survival Mode" mods, to make it truly immersive. Speaking of Immersion, you definitely should install as much graphical overhauls as your PC can handle, especially for NPCs and Items. You can handle muddy textures in the forest, but it's not pleasant to speak to a muddy textured face. Or looking at a sword that's just a blob of grey and shiny.

Or just try to install, and it shows you what the package name is.

"Always Online" form of DRM is the most stupid thing anyone could ever do to a single-player.
Ubisoft and EA Games come to mind.

I got a Toyota Auris 2 Hybrid (The smaller Prius 2, lol) I absolutely LOVE having all the buttons I have to use daily as physical knobs and buttons, like radio volume, air con and music source selection. Everything else, like dashboard settings, navigation or phone menu, which you shouldn't use while driving anyway, are accessible through the touch screen and can be further navigated with the physical buttons. It's not to distracting and can be somewhat used while driving without distracting you.
