Aargh.
Yeah it was hard. I think I managed to finish it once and then forgot about it. But that was after months and months of trying to beat the game :)
The movie was my favorite back in the day. I think I watched it at least once a week for a long period of time. And now I want to re-watch it lol
Ayy, the input-remapper worked. Thanks for the suggestion!
Very easy to use program, highly recommend for anyone who wants to disable or remap their devices.
Ah that was a excellent game. I loved playing it. Also loved the movie.
Delete the apps from your phone.
No need to delete the accounts if you think those are something you want to keep. You can still use the browser versions of them. Those browser versions suck, that will make you want to use them less (hopefully, don’t know how addicted you are). The more you get frustrated with using the things, the less you want to use them. Its like making cigarettes taste absolutely horrible and disgusting in order to not want to smoke them.
Or leave your phone somewhere that you cant reach. On top of your bookshelf, in your clothes closet, kitchen. Make it so that there is barriers, however small, to using them. You could go to extremes and lock it in a safe that only your mom has access to. Or you could install one of those apps that lock you out for a certain period of time.
Leave your phone home and go take a walk. Walk to the library, read some magazines, newspapers or books there. Get a mp3 player, put some music, podcasts or audiobooks in it and go for a walk.
Barriers are the thing. You don’t have to lock yourself out of the devices, apps and services. Just make using them slightly inconvenient. Then raise the inconvenience levels bit by bit.
You are just stuck in a routine. Break the routine, break the addiction.
Hehe. My black metal phase wasn’t too long either though. I think I listened to it for like 6 months and me and my friends played black metal stuff for a few weeks before going back to prog rock/metal :D
I did like a sort of full circle with the music stuff when I was aged 13-14. Started with classic rock stuff, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Cream etc. Then came the punk phase, Dead Kennedys, Misfits, The Dead Milkmen and so on. Then black metal phase, the proge, then back to classic rock. All this in a period of 1-1.5 years lol
That’s fine. Others appreciate the annoying twat spamming every thread about it. I’d rather read about it many times than not know about it at all. Thanks to that particular annoying twat, I read up on it and put it on my block list. So, yay for the annoying twat! :)
A bit to the east, Finland :)
Well, when half of the year is dark and -25C, theres plenty of time to play games :D Or start a black metal band
Cash Converters (a second hand shop)
I know what Cashies is! I’m a professional Dank Pods viewer :D https://youtu.be/ofCLy2Svqpw
We played with a PC as well, though we didn’t have a joystick :) My neighbors mother was a researcher in the university so she had a powerful PC, we could run all kinds of games on that.
Haha, I just got a flashback… We did a full play through of Escape From Monkey Island, even though we didn’t know English at the time. We just wrote down on paper which replies worked when doing the insult sword fighting. Then the rest was just figuring out the puzzles. I think it took like 18 months to get through it haha
Ahh, Descent. I remember wasting a whole summer playing that with my neighbor. Probably 1996. Excellent game.
If a company only communicates through facebook, discord etc, that company doesn’t exist for me. So far, I haven’t had any issues in my life because of it.
Really? That sounds awful.
The IRC servers I’m at don’t have ads. Its very nice.
Not to worry, I have a torch.
It works fine. For now.
The dev team had disagreements, a bunch left, made their own thing, Morphe. Thats all I know/remember. There was a reddit thread explaining the shenanigans, you should be able to find that fairly easily.
Good idea, lets ban laws!
Banning porn would just mean that it would be produced only by criminals. So what we should do is first ban criminals and only then ban porn.
Easy and insulting way of finding out how important you are to your friends is to tell them on Whatsapp “I’m done with being forced to use this spyware app, I’m moving to Signal, you can contact me there.” Then maybe reminding them a week later about this, then uninstall Whatsapp.
Either they think you are important enough that they go through the awful trouble of spending 90 seconds of their lives installing the Signal app, or they think thats too much trouble to keep in contact with you.
I did that, found out that my friends didn’t really care too much about me lol. A couple did and thats nice. You don’t need 735 friends anyway. Or at least I dont.
Good point. I did assume a western culture background.
I don’t know what you are trying to imply with the “sex object” comment, but personally I have never had sex with a “random” person, nor have I thought about my sex partners as sex objects. They have been people I cared a lot about and wanted to connect on a deep level. Some people do think of others as objects to have sex with, but I think thats a different conversation from what is being discussed here.
From what I’ve heard, switching the Desktop Environment is easy and should be without no problems… as long as you don’t delete the old/previous one. If you want to remove the other one, you need to be a bit careful about what you delete, what to save and stuff like such.
