  • For me with gaming (both playing and dev), a Steam Deck. Never wanted anything more in my life, seeing people have them and barely use them hurts. But I’m on long-term sick leave and live paycheck to paycheck, not able to save anything and it doesn’t look like that’ll change anytime soon. And it’s more than just wanting a cool thing, all I have is a shitty laptop from 2010 that barely plays 1080p video, and a TV I found outside that gets so warm that it’s hard to sit in front of for longer than two hours at a time. The laptop has no battery so it has to be used with the charger connected all the time and it’s too heavy to comfortably use anywhere but at a desk. I also have back and knee problems and having something like a Steam Deck would allow me to play and develop in bed or on my sofa and save me some pain.
















  • Nothing, and the whole “grammar nazis” thing is rotten. There is never a reason to have any other reaction to being corrected about objective things than learning from the mistake. If someone shows you the spelling or grammar mistakes you made, read it and memorise the corrections. You’re not losing anything by getting better at communication, you only gain. It doesn’t take you five minutes longer to spell the words correctly and you don’t make yourself look like an idiot, child with learning disabilities or someone who seriously doesn’t care about the most basic and expected shit we do for others. Language is an astounding tool and people who spot on it by not caring about spelling and grammar should be forced to take classes and taught to see how important it is.
