  • I can feel you, similar situations and thoughts, but we will survive, majority of us does. Share your thoughts with partner, good of your chest should happen with them.

    And this is very important for them to find a job. If you have a family and losing one’s job means losing home - your partner should already be employed, it is important for your survival. Unless you have savings for at least a year to find a job which will cover current expenses until they will be covered by salaries again.




  • I would recommend reading https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_at_Dawn book. While getting lots of academic criticism, it describes logically (and criticism for that was the most minor) well why penis has a form it has and sex lasts different amount of time for men and women.

    To cut it short our ancestors species females had sex with several males (and vice versa), where evolutionary not the strongest male would reproduce, but whoever sperm will get to the ovum first. So penis is a pump which should help to remove as much sperm of previous males as possible, (that’s why some time for sex is required), ejakulate as strong as it can, than soften and loose shape to stop acting like a pump. Also there were spermicids found in substance males ejakulate in the end, which might be to minimize next male chances.

    Partly book is very questionable, but it has some valid points and quite fun to read.








  • If you already have another pair or buds, I would just use them instead for scenarios outside of your working/gaming place, because there will be compromises.

    I can’t recommend much, but I also have Anker Space Q45, they are closed, have optional jack cable connection, Bluetooth with LDAC (high Bitrate Bluetooth codec), quality is OK and sound is not bad, they do have very good active noise canceling. If I had to choose only one pair, I would check them out. It’s just that if you mostly game an Kosten music by computer, Beyerdynamics DT 990 a lre on another level of l quality, longevity and), comfort and sound.


  • Beyerdynamic DT 990 are about 150, nice open headphones. Both people with requests to sound and casual listeners enjoy (me and my wife as example). They are built very well. My pair is 12 years old and as new when I replace ear pads. They do have very high level of sound quality and detail, hard to beat in leven double price range. I play games, listen and create music in them, due to mindful construction and open back they can be worn for a long time. Sound is open, crisp, with a lot of highs and pretty detailed. If you don’t have anything to drive them, take 80ohm. If you need more volume or better sound, consider cheap, good sounding digital audio converter (DAC) and amplifier - check FIIO brand for example, ka11 (40$) is good and very portable, I also use it with my steam deck. But there are other models cheaper.

    Sennheisers have a lot of good pairs, but I cannot recommend anything from expirience, Audio Technica is Japanese company and their headphones are good sounding, but a lot of their headphones are fragile.

    Overall aim for open headphones as they are better when you wear them for long periods like during gaming. And use return policy to your advantage.


  • I still question myself why did not I try it before as it changed my quality of waiting on different places like public transport by large margin:

    Try turn based games with Lemuroid (frontend for emulators on android). No gamepad required, always in your pocket, everything works out of the box.


    I’m playing psp Valkyria Chronicles and it is great. Such games are perfect format for phone, as anything where reaction and precision is necessary needs gamepad. And you either need to own a retro dedicated handheld and take it with you, or (if you have one) take cumbersome Steamdeck like handheld, which is not feasible for 30 minutes ride.








  • I was playing this game too much, with complex system which never actually encouraged me to play any of the games I have categorized (and I had similar system as OP). Please dear fellow gamers - don’t fall into same trap =)

    Now I have only 4:

    • WTP - want to play games, be them new or on repeat.
    • VR - same as WTP, but for VR.
    • Done - for games which are finished, but I have a feeling that I would like to recall them several years later.
    • Done-done - for games which I’m not going to ever play again. Either bad games, or which have fully fulfilled their purpose and there is nothing to do anymore.

    I use recent sorting, which help a lot to mitigate any kind of lock on what to play today. It’s more like recommendation

    I am trying to free myself from finishing games 100% and avoid all side/boring activities, also now I’m free to pick whichever game I want, instead of planned (like work) consumption with previous system.

    It has really brighten my playtime, now it feels more like joy than before.

    If society tries to suppress something that will find it’s way, you will get it back, but hidden, harder to detect and maybe even changed in a harmful way.

    We had it as humanity with alcohol bans, war on drugs, hateful speech bans and etc. We need systematic regulations for unavoidable, not prohibitions which will leak from all places.

    Leaving it be while being explicit is reasonable.
