  • Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck adobe.

    In other news, try Krita and node based video editors that run natively in Linux.

    But sequence based editors… Yeah, it’s tough. There is Kdenlive and Blender, but for serious jobs it make it difficult.

    I would say adobe is the biggest stone on Linux shoes. The brainwashed with their office braking compatibility would be easily fixed just ditching microsoft, gamers just don’t want to switch to something that works. But adobe, with all their patents are a big issue. The moment a real alternative comes up they will sue.

    I literally changed jobs to not have to deal with adobe.

    But Krita is pretty good.

    I think it’s just internet impression.

    Being gay is soooo much easier today. I would say we reached the utopia, because I don’t hide and yet my life doesn’t seem different than straight people.

    The screaming ones one both sides, the “everyone must know I’m gay” and the “no one should be allowed to show they are gay” are the minority, but they sure are loud. And internet is their megaphone.

    But that depends on the country of course. I’m sure gays in Saudi Arabia are not happy.


  • It always annoyed me so much that gay was a personality type like goth or nerd or jock, in US media.

    Yeah. Same. The dream was to just be normal. That liking guys is the same as liking girls. You can be a femboy gay, or a macho yanktank straight, or the other way around. But it’s not anymore simply who you like that catches people attention.

    You can simply be gay, and that is just one detail of your life. Not a whole fight anymore.

    As an older gay guy, as you grow older, being gay stops being important. You just like guys, and the other guy like girls. That’s it.

    And it’s actually kind of annoying how some people make that their entire personality. But when I left my mom’s house I even hanged porn pictures on my room, to tell everyone what I am and that I wouldn’t hide anymore. So I was the same.

    But over time I realised that I should never have to hide, I didn’t have to keep showing either. I didn’t really want. I just did it because I was angry I had to hide.

    My point is; we are here. Just not that visible.

    Plus we didn’t have internet back then. Thank god. I wouldn’t want to see again the things I would have written.

    Edit, I must also say that it’s because a lot of people fought for our rights. I couldn’t just be a guy who likes guys back then. It’s a luxury I love. I can say stuff like “my partner, he does this or that” and it never becomes “what, are you gay?” anymore. It’s just like a straight guy talking about his female partner most of the times, and that’s awesome. I can choose to make it my personality or not these days without having to hide.





  • Pretty much same. I thought it was a Zelda clone and got hooked by the gambling mechanics.

    I don’t even know what the story is anymore. I just put in autoclick and check some times to see if the game needs me to move to another place for another 6 hours of talk.

    I used to pay attention but it’s just empty sausage to keep the player engaged longer cheaply. There is no puzzles or game play.

    It’s as interesting and addictive as a slot machine, but with 10 hours of torture between each pull of the lever.


  • Fucking cancer that still has me poisoned.

    Every time I play I think “I should uninstall this garbage, this is not even a game, why am I torturing myself like this?”. Then I my addicted brain goes “oh, but there’s only x amount of primogems I need to get to try one last time to get this shitty character that is the same as every other one but with 1% bigger numbers. I already wasted so many months on this, I can give up now”.

    It’s amazing how well they domesticated the human brain and that I let myself be controlled like that.

    To call this slot machine, talking simulator, lollie masturbator thing a game is an offense to games.
