I really love how the game forces you to use the new systems to survive, but when you master them, you shred everything.
I also really enjoyed the story and them building up the myth of the doomguy. How after every mission you have the ARC broadcast telling everyone of your deeds, the way you enter their defensive base and everyone's afraid of you.

Grzmot LinkDoom Eternal. It is harsh, it's brutal, but it's fucking awesome. I powered through the campaign over the weekend and finished most of the collectibles and I enjoyed myself immensely. id Software...Doom Eternal.
It is harsh, it's brutal, but it's fucking awesome. I powered through the campaign over the weekend and finished most of the collectibles and I enjoyed myself immensely. id Software changed some stuff from Doom 2016 and that took some adjustments on my part, but the way the game is designed it really forces you to use all aspects of your kit, and if you do, it feels fucking awesome.

That game essentially defined the modern RTS, it's story launched WoW (although I'd advise not getting too emotionally involved, because Blizzard is doing a wonderful job at ruining all those characters you so love with every passing WoW expansion), which is a behemoth of it's own right and it's old graphics are timeless. The new remaster botched a number of things, though.

Honestly I think they'd prefer it? Reading through the lines of the interview, at least the guy giving the answers seems to not be that interested in getting to know the other boyfriend. It seems to be more of a "I like her enough to tolerate it" situation whereby the girl is the main instigator of the poly relationship maybe cause she's high energy, likes the attention, whatever.

But it's good to see that you learned from those past experiences, and yes, communication is always the most important in relationships, especially talking about difficult subjects (though I wouldn't attribute that knowledge solely to polyamorous relationships, but knowledge can come from many different places).
The most important thing is that everyone is happy that way (which tbh, the person in the interview doesn't seem as much) and that options are out there.

I'd be interested if someone went from mono to poly and back to mono if those feelings and behaviours manifested again.
You're right though, attributing hippie communes fell apart solely to their polyamorous lifestyle is most likely wrong.
I just love getting to know someone very intimitately, knowing what she loves and likes, anticipating desires and fulfilling them, and receiving back the same. It's one of the best feelings when someone you care about deeply does something unexpected, that goes from getting that cocoa water you love on her way back home from work or doing chores at home you don't mind doing, but she hates.
Doing this with multiple people sounds, as I said, exhausting.

I could imagine something like friends with benefits, where there's little contact except for occasional booty calls, if my partner's other partner was okay with it, but I've never tried it before, so I don't know how I would ultimately feel about it. Considering how older hippie communes where "everyone loved everyone" usually fell apart due to jealousy, I can't imagine that polyamory would work for the majority of the population, but if some people arrange themselves and are happy with it, more power to them.

Schools and universities are closed, albeit children under 14 still can be dropped off at school if you have an important job to do and can't watch them yourself. Jobs that can have switched to home office, those that can't have given employees a forced vacation. Restaurants and bars are to remain closed till further notice, which has obviously dire consequences for a lot of places and employees, their future is still uncertain.
People are to remain at home, unless they are doing vital tasks like buying groceries (supermarkets and pharmacies are the only stores permitted to remain open) or drugs, or helping someone who can't help themselves. You can only walk around alone in public or you might be fined.
Toilet paper is kind of hard to come by, but it's definitely not as bad as in other countries. Food is well stocked.
Austria still has military and civil service for men, and those of us who served in civil in the last five years have been called to volunteer back to our positions, with forced reactivation on the horizon, should the situation become more dire. Those currently serving have to keep serving until further notice. I completed my civil service 4 years ago in a hospital, I currently don't plan on volunteering, but there's a chance I might get called back in.

Comment on Do you still post on Reddit? in ~talk
Grzmot Link ParentI do that a lot. When I've got something to say but don't care enough to get into an online argument about it, especially on controversial topics.I originally learned this from a manager back in the 1990s as "write the email, but press 'Delete' instead of 'Send'", but the principle is the same.

People don't take a week off after launching a game, maybe they celebrate for a night or two, and on the next workday they're back to fixing launch-day issues. Additionally, as projects near completition, you don't have enough work on the project to involve everyone in the studio, and CDPR is a massive studio. Games take multiple years to develop, it makes total sense to have to develop it partially in parallel.
That's a very normal, very AAA thing to do.
That's not a justification mantra, it's just stating that it's standard business practice. Your comment feels uncalled for and hostile.

His series on iconic weapons and either specific game (franchises) or simply aspects of games are always very interesting and enjoyable to watch.Ahoy is a youtuber I can't recommend enough.

Sure, women's day is definitely more internationally celebrated and publicly mentioned more, and lots of people don't even know men's day is a thing, as evidenced by the link above by @bhrgunatha (mate I swear to the gods, couldn't you have picked an easier name to type out? :D), and when it comes around I usually only see it mentioned on the internet, never in real life.
Modern PCs (and laptops, though they suffer from everything being a bit smaller and often soldered on, thus irreplacable) are really like lego for adults. I'd suggest looking at PC building videos/tutorials, because there's little more to it (especially with your laptop, look up how to disassemble the model you have). You have a few big building blocks and cables connecting them to the motherboard.
If you don't know what broke down, go off on what the software tells you, i.e. if you got Windows bluescreen, look up the error code the OS gives. This might give clues as to what is causing the problem. If you don't have such clues, you have little recourse than exchanging each component individually, starting the computer and seeing if it works normally (i.e reproducing the steps that usually lead to a breakdown and seeing if the PC breaks down again).
Otherwise, there's little to maintain with a computer. Keep it clean, occasionally get rid of the dust. Technically you can keep it running 24/7, but that will take a toll on the PSU, because really only server-grade PSUs are designed to run at all times. Modern hardware is good at throttling itself when it gets to hot, so that usually isn't a source of breakdown, and more a source of not running optimally.
I don't know if there are any specific guides on how to "maintain" a computer because most people get interested in it specifically when the PC breaks down, so most guides deal with solving a specific problem.
I'm sure the people here would be willing to help, if you provided details in how your computer broke down/what the problem is.
