I deal with the same thing. I had written for several small publications, and one way I overcame my disconnect from emotion was just by stream of conscious describe things. The way I'm subconsciously describing it tends to reveal my feelings for it. Directly, i really feel nothing for it but under the layers I do have a sense of emotion for it.

Gentoo gaming and music production rig working through mostly tty with dwm as a graphical display. I typically stay on tty until I want to play a game, use modern web, or record a song. Otherwise tty with Links browser.

What's been the toughest sacrifice you've made for lent?

I was using an old plasma screen from around 2008/9 for a while until my girlfriend's sister's exboyfriend stole it. Their dad gifted me a 55in 4k tv that wasn't bid on at an auction he was running. That plasma is probably gonna burn down Shithead's place at some point, it was pretty sketchy.

It's a cool concept, but just seems short of what I expected. Seems the majority of good stuff is much much further down the line in it. I'd say Deep Rock is better option for this kind of game. Doing missions and fighting hoards of bugs.

Helldivers 2. I just found it boring. I'm waiting still for my refund, I only haf about 1.5 hours in it. But only 45 minutes of gameplay. I managed to only get a few matches and they were very dry.

I use a t480 for my carry laptop with Gentoo. It's been solid. Replaced both batteries pretty easily, replaced thermal paste, and it's good to go again. I paid about 160 got it. I had a t460 as well, but gave that to my gf. Either of those were good and not too expensive for a semi modern computer for general usage.

The idea of a a Ready or Not styled game with the comedy and tone of Deep Rock would be killer.

What's the best place to look for jobs these days? Going on indeed floods me with endless "insurance sales" positions. I tried Dice, but almost every job is wildly out of range for experience to pay. I've devolved down to scrolling over an area on google maps and clicking businesses to check their websites.

I used Ubuntu, then Arch, and now Gentoo. Been about 2 years with most of my time on Arch. Gentoo is my favorite though. Just does what I want, how I want.
