  • The number one reason not to switch is “I don’t want to”. And I dislike that Windows users keep repeating decades old solved issues as excuses instead of being honest.

    ‘But muh games’ only very few don’t work OOB or at all.

    ‘I need this software’ most works flawlessly under Wine.

    ‘It crashes’ exactly as often as Windows with faulty hardware or bug in a driver.

    ‘Hardware isn’t plug&play’ more hardware works with Linux without installing drivers.

    Jusy say “I dont want to give it a shot” or “I’m in the minority that can’t switch”, but don’t bullshit people about Linux requiring cmd to work. And those people then suggest editing registry to remove ads… It’s dishonest and in bad faith.

    FOSS is the only way forward to stop complete enshittification of the digital space, like it or not.

    Also I hate Microsoft and Apple with all my soul.

    I get that most don’t care, but that doesn’t mean supporting those companies is good.










  • Unfathomable hands down.

    It requires 3-6 people for well over two hours (longest was around 5h).

    Constant attacks from the sea creatures trying to destroy your ship. With traitors.

    But it’s so engaging and fun. There is enough depth for replayability, lots of variation, there is always something happening, and players interact a lot, so there aren’t boring parts just watching someone go off with their turn.

    There was recently an expansion, adding lots of variety and more depth.

    Almost everyone who played once wanted to try it again. If you can find people who have the time, they will not walk away until it’s over. And will think about how to play differently the next time.






  • So stuff works out pretty well in my European country. Personally I never got anything broken, my friend had their hand re-broken because they never realized it was broken in the first place, only noticed that the pain lasted many months. They did not pay a single thing, but had to move to go through all the surgeries (to their parents). That kinda broke them.

    Personally, I had a minor health surgery, that kinda left an ugly scar, which I feel like could have been avoided with better surgeon.

    Also we have health insurance, and there it gets tricky. Like state owns one, there are more private ones, as some groups try to privatize the healthcare, and then you have to pay the insurance, you can choose which insurance it is, and in some specific cases, some insurers can order different regimes of treatment. Which may not be ideal in every case.
