I mean… You’re not wrong. If there’s a French language pack on the system, it will remove it.

I’m the type to spend 10 minutes going through my previous commands, rather than 5 seconds typing it.

Note: The “$” prompt flashes like a typical cursor.

I’ve been meaning to. It’s just that I got my current Netflix subscription as part of a bundle with my ISP. I have to phone them to cancel it. I don’t really have the energy to do so.

Though, I’m in the process of being kicked out of my home. If I’m able to find somewhere to go, I’ll likely cancel it once I change my address with the ISP.

Other than that. I use YouTube with an adblock on both my PC and FireStick.

Everyone needs to start treating him with Bizarro rules.

How about Planet Crafter? You crash land on a planet and you have to terraform the planet using the materials you gather.

There’s also Occupy Mars. This is more realistic. It’s just that there’s one aspect of it that I think you might love.

Using a drill, crane and vehicle to break down boulders for example.

I haven’t played the games I’m about to recommend.

Is it Life Simulator type games you’re interested in? Or just specifically those concerning mining, smithing, and forging?

Especially with a decent modpack. Specifically, one that comes with Tinker’s Construct.

I’d add Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead to go along with DF. Also DFHack.

He already has carpal tunnel in the left one.

Hell, a lot of the time you’d get downvoted purely as some form of competition. An attempt to increase the chance of their post/comment getting upvoted. Then there’s the rest who downvote it purely because it was already downvoted by others.

Personally, I don’t really bother with keeping up with things like upcoming releases, reviews, teasers and trailers.

Not only to avoid the hype but also because there have been a couple of occasions when watching a single review or trailer on YouTube led to me getting a recommended video of the game during the release week, and that video had a massive spoiler in its title.

I prefer to go into it completely blind. Maybe I just have incredibly low standards though. Some of my favourite games are those which were widely hated.

Although after spending 10+ years on Reddit (which I’ve since quit using). Even the dedicated game subs are full of bitching and constant arguments, and God help you if you’re a fan of MMORPG’s cause that sub seems to absolutely despise them.

The same way I distract myself from anything even slightly unpleasant or uncomfortable.

Escapism via gaming, reading, music, and YouTube.

Usually multiple at once. Sensory overload makes it easier to distract yourself completely.

Literally every couple steps.

Same. I wouldn’t stop talking during combat so I was typing full sentences in that one second global cooldown.

I recall a few games where I’ve had to limit the processor speed.

The weirdest one was an old adventure point and click. It was either “The 11th Hour” or “The 7th Guest”. It had a puzzle where you need to beat the CPU in a board game.

At the time it was released, it was possible. On a modern PC, not so much. The more powerful your processor, the more skilled the CPU was in the board game. Made it impossible.
