  • Hey you manage to post top quality stuff on Lemmy. What motivates you to do that? Maybe you can gamify other things in life to be like that?

    I’m in no position to give advice. See my other reply in this thread.

    And yeah I don’t know what I’d do without my wife. I can spend ten minutes looking for something and I give up and ask her to find it. Literally seconds later she’s showing me or putting the thing in my hand.

    It makes me miss living in hotels traveling for work. I’ve got tools perfectly organized, backpack for network and PC gear, and a duffel bag for everything personal. If it’s that simple I can function.


  • I’ve currently stayed up all night to play my favorite new game because an old friend is coming over to give me a tattoo this afternoon and I didn’t want to go to bed and not get to play the game. So I’m just going to skip sleep. Yet I’ve spent like 3 hours out of 12 playing it and the rest of the time smoking and looking at my phone. To be fair Civ 7 is complex and extremely poorly documented so I’m looking a lot of things up.

    I’m still going to clean house in a panic the hour before he gets here…



















  • Yeah it’s wild. I don’t think it’s good but I’m not doing a great job teaching. One of my gen Z nephews expressed an interest so I gave him my old PC, took it apart with him and put it back together, explained everything.

    He rearranged his room and told me when he hooked everything back up his games were super slow. Every time I touch his PC I clean it up from scam shit spyware etc. I pretend not to notice where all this stuff came from.

    But this time was different. He’d plugged his monitor into the motherboard instead of the graphics card. He recently redid his room again and got it right this time! Small victories.
