Nice, that’s good to know. I know most gaming is not an issue due to proton these days.

I’ve got a hp reverb G2, which is windows mixed reality. I don’t think this one would work. The G2 is a pretty small user base compared to meta headsets.

I’ve got a hp reverb G2 which runs through windows mixed reality, which is helpfully not supported now anyway. It’s also one of the smallest user bases for vr I think. Have you heard anything about that headset? When I looked initially (ages ago to be fair) I couldn’t find much about it with Linux.

VR gaming support and I do play Helldivers 2 on occasion despite the ridiculous anticheat. My understanding is neither of those would work on Linux.

Though with proton and MS getting increasingly crap I am more and more tempted to make the switch.

Life outside of work. I’d love more time to spend with my wife and dog. Time to watch movies, play video games, hike, read, camp. Hell if I didn’t have to work so much I might actually do some strength training.

I love slay the princess, such a great game and a great story. A good one for video games as art.

I really enjoyed it but I found the pay off of all the meta stuff to be a bit lacking. The first section though was some of the best atmospheric game I have ever played. I especially didn’t appreciate needing to watch a couple of YouTube videos to “finish the story”. I did appreciate what it was trying to do and the first part of the game with Leshy was truly excellent.

It’s an entertaining game. I work with elderly care so I think I’m pretty good at recognising Parkinson’s from someone’s walk but yeah other things are harder without talking to someone.

Healthcare professional. Play spot diagnosis from people’s walks and stuff observable from a distance. always keep an eye out for people who look like they need help. Always check people at car accidents are out of the cars and calm before driving on. I do the veins thing too.

They found a theme they liked and ran with it didn’t they.

I enjoyed my time with it. Working out the correct path was fun though I was really disappointed that there was only 1 path and to finish the game you just followed the objective marker. There were some fun moments though and I enjoyed the powers and the repeating elements. The endings were pretty poor I agree. I think it really depends how much the core gameplay appeals to you as to how much you’d enjoy it.

First off depression is a removed and will have made this whole thing harder on both of you. It sounds like you were moving forward and he felt like he was being left behind.

Could you have done more? Maybe. I think people can pretty much always do more but doing more isn’t always the right thing to do.

Generally relationships should have some give and take, not always equally split though that depends on the individuals. I’ve been in a position several times where I’m the only one making any effort to keep in touch with friends and it gets harder and harder to keep making the effort when you don’t get anything back. Eventually I stopped trying to maintain those friendships and now I just have them on social media and we never interact.

People grow and change and sometimes, with distance especially, that can be enough to end a friendship.

Try to remember the good times if nothing else.

It really depends on the lifestyle you want and what “retirement” means to you. Do you want to never work again or work part time? So you want to live in a home with no mortgage and minimal bills or travel the world for 6 months of every year. Your best bet is to talk to a financial advisor.

Honestly I’m not sure. Probably the same as the chem trails and 5g, he’s all in on the conspiracies these days.

UK here. We have fluoride in our water. My understanding is it’s good for teeth and helps prevent dental problems with little/no downsides.

My dad is a conspiracy theorist nut who thinks it’s a government mind control agent or something so both sides get purchase over here.

I know we’re talking audiophiles here but the budget option is £350!

I’m using boost, you can add filters to everything you’ve subscribed to.

I suspect you’re getting downvoted because the guy in your picture is a tool.

Unfortunately I don’t know enough about US based finances to have any useful advice for you.

We use the CAGE questions in the UK as a quick screening tool.

Have you ever felt the need to Cut down on your alcohol intake? Have people Annoyed you by criticizing your drinking? Have you ever felt Guilty about drinking? Have you ever needed an Eye opener (drink first thing in the morning)?

Yes to two or more indicates problem drinking and probably alcoholism.

Other factors are drinking every day, drinking more than a few units in one go regularly, drinking to black out drunk, causing damage to yourself or others.

We spent 2 hours doing CPR on a lady who worked in our hospital, while her husband watched and cried. She was young and the cardiac arrest was unexpected so we tried everything we could. Despite all our efforts we didn’t manage to get her back. CPR is not like it looks in movies and shows, it rarely works and is brutal on the person who’s died. CPR is physically exhausting to perform, generally you rotate so you’re only doing about 1-2 minutes at a time but even with breaks it’s still very hard work. Add on the emotional shock of an unexpected death and supporting a grieving partner, it was a naff day. One of the worst parts is you’ve got to go back on the floor afterwards and carry on like it’s normal.
