It can be hit and miss from my experience as well. We have a bar and grill place that has a black bean burger and the fucking patty is 1/2 lb and an inch thick. The burger tastes good but it's way too much bean and it ends up being a chore to eat. We have a fast food place that has a black bean burger that is pretty thin but you get a lot of veggies on it and it is all pretty balanced. We have a local hipstery joint similar to the meme posted that has amazing food all around but they have a beyond burger and a black bean burger and it's actually nice to have that option but they also always have like 3 other vegan options.
One thing I do miss is the larger modding commuinity. Like R2ModManager works on Linux so a lot of Unity-based games have mod support and it all works with Proton basically out of the box. There is a Linux build for the Satisfactory Mod Manager too which I thought was kind of weird lol.
Honestly I couldn't give less of a shit of most triple A games or esports games not running on Linux because of EAC. I'll gladly keep throwing money at indy devs that make games that don't suck.
Thanks from me as well. I'm on a huge philosophy kick and did a dialectics dive on my last big socialist theory reading binge so this seems like a good way to bridge the gap a bit.
I was super lucky apparently because my degree's curriculum required C# and ASP.NET, on top of our CTO having a big bug up his ass and hitting the switch that disallowed Linux computers to connect to the wifi. Even connecting Macbooks was a huge headache I guess. Dude didn't fucking care and would just jerk himself off about how hardened the school's network was.
My laptop was really shitty too but I ended up running Windows 7 in a VM just to get by. But had to do a lot of bullshit between OSes and in the end, it would have just been way better if I had just bit the bullet and used Windows for the time I was there.
I'm probably an outlier and today it's probably better but if your school gets kickbacks from M$ and you are going for programming just expect it I guess.
LIbreOffice's .docx formatting sucks when going between it and M$ Word too but someone else already mentioned that.
Not gonna lie, I thought elementaryOS was gonna take off and I guess it never did. I used it on my school laptop when I was in college for most of the time there. It was fine but mostly just a sleaker looking Mint basically.
To be fair her teaching assistant put it on there and she has a tendency of clicking on everything and just isn't computer literate at all so it was more of an inevitability than anything. It installed a reskinned Chromium that redirected searched so it wasn't super bad. is ran MalwareBytes and got a few more possible threats too. Glad it wasn't anything super severe. I'm out of practice lol.
I think the obvious recommendation would be Reform or Revolution. It's her most famous work and still pretty important to modern theory with regards to people who strive for a reformed mode of socialism compared to Marxist-Leninists who strive for a revolutionary mode.
Turbo Overkill is sort of Duke Nukem/Quake strafe boomer shooter with modern schmovement mechanics like Ultrakill.
Also another vote for Prodeus. It's basically a Brutal Doom clone. It's messy and gory and just a tone of mindless fun.
I'm playing Prey right now and it's also a ton of fun trying to figure out ways to do stuff instead of running in all guns a-blazing. Still trying to figure out how stealth really works mechanically.
I'm gonna come back to your comment for sources when I'm back at my computer.
I wonder if I was actually asking, regardless of them both being flashy, if it's important as a foundation going into the rest of the existentialists, phenomonilogists, nihilists, etc. I think you answered that. I am less interested in Husserl to be honest so if skipping him is ok, then coolio.
I am eventually hoping to get to Merleau-Ponty but want to set aside a time specifically for him. I didn't even know of him (or Beauvoir) until Existentialist Cafe and they both stood out to me.
I actually have A Short History of Decay and will probably get to it in the next 3 or so books. What I'm wanting to get from Pessimism is if "optimistic nihilism" or Absurdism is something worthy of me aiming for since I'm a pessimist and very doom and gloom as it is. Again I want a sort of foundation. I'm having a hard time accepting my own mortality and basically being a "useless lump" since society has been so harsh against my own existence so pessimism is sort of my base state. I'm trying to figure out if it's more worth living in the absurd I think. I think that's probably why Cioran and Camus both caught my attention. They seem 2 sides of that coin maybe?
