    I don't tip.

    From my point of view, it's not my responsibility to pay a restaurant's employees directly; that's between the restaurant, and the employee. I'm paying for the food at menu price, plus tax. I expect the menu price to already cover the food, management, employee payment, general upkeep, and whatever other things the money actually goes towards.

    I don't understand why it's considered "bad practice" to not tip in-regards to the above.

    I don't tip the cashier at a grocery store after they check me out. I don't tip a vending machine after giving me my drink. I don't tip at fast-food places after ordering a cheeseburger to-go. I didn't tip the Gamestop employee after I bought a used game. And as far as I know, that's all generally-accepted and expected behavior. A portion of my payment goes towards that person's paycheck already. So why is a restaurant any different?

    And in-general, I try not to spend much money, nor do I have that much to be spending. Why would I be giving out more money that required, especially if it's some variable optional amount? If I can pay $10 or $13 for the same exact thing, or any number in-between or above, I'm going to pay $10 :p

    I had a lot of fun with GW2 when it came out. But that game seems to just lack something to really do at late-game, or maybe it's a lack-of incentive or motivation to do things. I'm not really sure how to explain it exactly though... I've played WoW for a good while and haven't had a problem finding something to do late-game.

    I use Fedora Workstation primarily with GNOME. I don't do much at all with the interface outside of defaults.

    I like Fedora because it has relatively up-to-date software all throughout a release's cycle, and keeps a vanilla GNOME experience. SELinux is also pretty nice.

    I like GNOME because it has the best HiDPI support, most of the apps I use are GTK and theme nicely, generally works well with default settings, and basically just works.

    LXDE and Xfce are a no-go for HiDPI. Plasma 5 for me doesn't scale right if I use the AMDGPU xorg driver (works fine with modesetting). Aside from that, Plasma 5 works fine, but I have no real reason to switch to it since GNOME still works great for me.

    Three Kingdoms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Kingdoms_(TV_series) I'm a fan of the Dynasty Warriors video game series, and heard someone mention that this TV series is a must-watch for DW fans.

    Diablo 3 on Xbox One; Wizard is pretty fun. Looking to get back into Old School RuneScape again in the very near future though.
