If you believe hard enough.

It’s genuinely disturbing how many men I’ve seen not wash their hands.

Huh, this has never happened to me while gaming with a controller.

For some reason I thought id was better than this.

id is owned by Bethesda, who published Doom 2016.

Audiobooks! I went from reading 0 books in 2024 to 72 books in 2025. I listen on walks, commutes, and luckily have a job where I can listen at work.

No use of Grok is a good use of Grok.

Even when I lived alone and was drunk, I closed the lid. Doesn’t make sense to me.

I mean, I can see if I need the brush before I’ve flushed. Frankly, if I’ve taken a dump worthy of a brush, I can probably tell before I even stand up. Also, I clean the toilets in my household, so actually no I don’t leave it for the next person.

I genuinely cannot understand why someone wouldn’t want their seat and lid down at all times when not in use.

If you need to open your toilet lid to check anything, you’ve got other problems that need solving beyond lid up or down.

I switched to Linux, so obviously I don’t either.

I appreciate the thorough response and the attempt to help, truly I do. But I feel like it’s kind of missed the point a bit.

I actually run a home server, have written some scripts here and there for the server (particularly backup scripts), use VMs and have figured out pass through; my point is that I’m not completely clueless here, while still not exactly being a power user. Even though I’ve done that stuff, and have that knowledge, it’s not a fun user experience for me. When I open my Bluetooth settings, I want it to just work. I don’t want to have to dig into the terminal and troubleshoot stuff.

Windows sucks for a lot of reasons, but I at least, personally, never had issues with Bluetooth or HDR.

I agree, but I suspect that info was on the box.

But also, these aren’t hidden features. That info should be on the box. I’m not trying to defend companies demanding your email and an account to use an electric toothbrush, but also at a certain point you gotta look at the consumer and say, you bought that. Electric toothbrushes aren’t exactly a monopoly out there; you can buy one that doesn’t require an email.

I cannot for the life of me get HDR working consistently across games on my CachyOS rig. So I would say true. I also find Bluetooth is my biggest pain point for now. I seem to only be able to connect to stuff from the command line. Some Linux hardcores here might roll their eyes at that complaint, but I’m not afraid to admit that I prefer a GUI.

It’s funny. I also was very hesitant to make the jump from Windows, but finally did in 2025. I was dual booting for a while until I realized I hadn’t been into the Windows one in months because it was a pain in the ass for various reasons. So I just got rid of it.

I’ve made peace with the fact that I won’t be able to play certain games. Their loss; there’s plenty of other games to buy with my money.

It’s quite different from Jusant. I found Jusant to be to arcade racers what Cairn is to simulation racers. Jusant was like a puzzle game with a climbing aesthetic, whereas I found Cairn to be truly about the climbing.

I played the demo for Cairn and genuinely can’t remember the last time I had a sense of accomplishment in a game that compared to teaching the top of the demo climb… And then the reveal of how much farther you’d go in the full game. It was very exciting for me. A very novel, interesting experience for me.

As for Witchbrook, I love Stardew Valley and magical fantasy, so that is looking like a no brainer.

Genuinely stoked for Cairn and Witchbrook.
