  • roughly 50% of your wage

    can we lay this myth to rest? I keep hearing the 50% number from expats / tourists / international friends and it’s simply not correct. For the vast majority of people its 42% or less.

    E: sorry for the kneejerk reaction, I also wanted to say: fantastic coment overall. I’d add the current political climate and generally stronger right wing/conservative leaning of the general population.


  • Tried a bunch of different “classic game but roguelite” like cloverpit (slot machine), dominova (dominoes), dungeons and degenerate gamblers (blackjack) demos and while they’re not as polished as say Balatro, i’m really enjoying that vibe. easy to do a run or two and log off again - or sit down and indulge that gambling itch for 5 hours.

    Another good one (sadly not participating SNF it seems) is Dice with Death.
    Somewhat narrative, moody dice game with tons of different “builds” to try and assemble throughout a run with different characters vastly changing how the game plays.












  • I used to run Mint and Win7 parallel in uni (gosh, a decade ago?) since we were working with ruby - at the time basically impossible to run and dev under windows.
    In matters of development there are almost only advantages, depending on your target platform of course. Bash is great, tools and packages are usually easier to setup than on windows.
    For gaming my only linux experience is the Steamdeck. I’ve ran a bunch of non-steam games and Proton (the bridge for windows games under Linux) does all the heavy lifting for you. I only had issues with the Riot launcher, which tended to break when detecting a new update.




  • I’m gonna die on the hill that rogue one was unnecessary.

    Its a cool ass movie, but the “everything must have detailed in universe lore”-culture annoys me so much. Especially regarding a franchise that started as metaphoric of a story as star wars.

    Like I don’t need in-universe guides to enjoy old kung fu hero movies with floaty wallruns and rooftop jumps. Its all metaphor and stylistic choice.

    Why do I need midichlorians and shoehorned blueprint fudging? Plus the ending was so predictable, i was disappointed when realising they really didn’t come up with a better out than what i guessed before sitting down in the theater.
