I just got a Steam Deck, and I bought Baldur’s Gate 3. Pretty sure I’ll finish it on my deathbed. It feels like the hour here or there that I manage to play is not getting me anywhere fast.
Or, hear me out: take a cold shower for a minute, then turn it slightly warm. It will be painful. Repeat every day. Go outside with one less layer than normal, shiver for 5 minutes. Do this literally every day. Pretty soon, cold adaptation. The human body is nice like that, and your vascular system will thank you. Unless you have a really bad heart condition that wouldn’t allow cardio obviously because your heart rate will go up.
Trying to learn how to play a Final Fantasy game in your late thirties is like trying to learn brain surgery on a worm. I don’t know how I had the patience for any of that shit back in the day.
For me was not grand parents but my dad was referring me ALL the time to other people that went to his workshop that I “know about computers” (almost is some sort of arcane knowledge). I remember once somebody approached me with the typical question:
Are you the one that “knows about computers”?
(cringing inside already) yes that’s me
You know, I have this fridge that won’t cool…
I just left even before he finished the sentence. My dad later that day asked me why I was rude to someone (I know it was this guy). I just told him “imagine you know about cars and somebody asks you fix their fridge”. Didn’t even need to say more.
So for some people in my place, " knowing about computers " means arcane knowledge with nearly everything with a digital screen on it.
