I really wanted to like Pentiment, but I gave up on it. Still happy I bought it to reward the cool concept.

it’s great … but how do they get the ships in the bottles?
because those candidates also sell easy answers to their fears. they make it seem like they can fix things, definitely. the fears are specific, simple, and aimed at selling specific solutions. people don’t vote to be scared, they’re scared into voting for a perceived authoritative saviour.
I think this is an oversimplification, but still makes sense.
yeah, should’ve been PostBE if they were really serious about it anyway!
really? wow, that’s DHL/UPS for me - PostNL keeps my packages intact and delivers them just fine. DHL literally throws packages on the street here.
same - why try to decipher someone else’s often flawed attempts at translation, when the original text is available?
wife acceptance factor :)
IDSPISPOPD … and I even remember what it abbreviates… why?
I went for opnsense without even trying pfsense - purely because I don’t trust the company behind pfsense, and came across some mentions of their dubious behavior. No regrets, opnsense is pretty great.
monitors are generally made to be viewed up close - if video quality is no issue, then a commercial display /digital signage is also okay.
however, a good detailed list of tv aspects would help with even that choice.
not shooting any option down - just wondering about available resources/information.
“If you can’t convince them, confuse them” also kinda works here…
Estradasphere and Ween pop to mind
Left 4 Dead 2 (multiplayer)
CloneHero/GuitarHero
Quake 3 Arena (or 2, or DooM for nostalgia points)
Honourable mentions: Disco Elysium, Nethack, Portal.
In Dutch: ‘graftak’ is a beautiful way to indicate an annoying/terrible person. Literally: ‘grave-branch’, which sounds nowhere near as satisfying.
If you also disconnect the power, just remember that this drains the CMOS battery in the motherboard. That’s okay, just know that it may help to replace it if your machine has issues booting, time resets, etc.
