Ha, I tried, but no dice. Too much competition (and people cheating with multiple accounts). Best I got was Assault Commander, but I kinda liked to stay Defense Commander, the buffs could make a good party unkillable :D. Probably could'

I played Tera about 10 years ago, when it was good. Free market economy, free looting (anyone can get anything) with random distribution, and people could pass on them so the one who needs an item can get it. Everyone could exchange anythin

AMD offers higher performance, better thermals and arguably better integrated graphics for the price. Plus they made Intel drop their prices by ~50% since launching Ryzen, for which they deserve the money :)

That's mostly self imposed legal and paper work. They could ship the German version EU wide, but they don't. Because they want to "provide the best experience". You know what would be the best experience? Buying the damn

It's just dumb, really. Just make an "international" version and ship it from one EU country. I can understand not shipping to a "untrustworthy" country like Romania or Poland (lol), but Sweden, Italy, Belgium? Even

2.5" SSDs have the advantage of being surrounded by a heatsink (at least all SSDs I've seen had a (semi)metallic case and thermal pads), while m.2 and NVMe often do not. So a lot of them fail from overheating - mostly cheaper mode

I'll add my own experience: I call it the ADD-anxiety-depression circle. Can't do what needs to be done -> anxiety about it and just everything -> depression because it's all too much -> can't do what needs to b

Took me years, but I finally started buying stimulants illegally and yeah, they're life changing. They're not the ultimate solution, only useful when I need to focus on something and just do it™, but it's the perfect tool to

That's not exactly a FOSS problem, though. Nothing stops an open source project from offering the same collaborative features as proprietary solutions. It just seems that people who work on FOSS value privacy, ownership and freedom mor

I mean, a lot if not most drugs are addictive - if not physically, then mentally. It's all down to whether it helps you more than it harms you. Hell, I can make the same argument about exercise - is it worth the risk of physical injury

Most drugs that actually work are terrible. If you're gonna abuse stimulants for relaxation, it's obvious to everyone but you that it will be a very bad time, for example. That said, the recommended dosages are basically bullshit.

If you look closer at others, you'll notice they have a new spark. But "new medication" won't be your first thought.

Wow, 1. who tf gave you phenibut before gabapentin/pregabalin? Phenibut is notoriously hard to quit. It takes at least a few weeks of gradual tapering down. 2. Together with a benzodiazepine? Wew, lad. Should've also taken a few s

I like anime but dear God those are nightmare fuel. Direct 2D to 3D "translation" never seems to work right, and the glowing eyes are just demonic O_O. It is possible to make them look much better in the real world.

Wow, it looks really nice, I never heard about these people. I don't really see the point in modelling them after humans, but yeah, impressive. It's interesting how software has yet to match to the hardware. We could have had John

On that note, other EU countries should pull their heads out of their asses and start creating better environments for business and especially small business/startups. You know what happens in my country when you get a big sum of money

I don't quite understand, to what end? This is clearly a good step towards authoritarianism, but then what? People "disappearing" and more population control? The world sometimes seems so ridiculous I can't believe it.

I ran laptops 24/7 on AC with the batteries acting as UPS for over 15 years. Granted, all of them had removable ones with 18650 cells, so no swelling. The charging method has been standardized a long time ago - they are charged to ~96%
