Nah, cone of shame is always on the part that agitates the area. The vast majority of dogs/cats with a cone of shame didn’t have surgery anywhere near their head.

Too bad for both of you, there’s already a term: ripoff.

Eh. I seem to always hear about such games pretty quickly. Just maybe not as quickly as braindead executives assume.

Maybe it should be on the publisher’s shoulders to not expect a game to hit millions of concurrent players in the first week before they cancel them?

The Netflix poison goes much further than streaming services.

Modern AAA/always online gaming sucks*

*FTFY

Still. It’s not the employee’s fault the leadership is full of absolute morons that don’t understand employment laws.

Wages are the first thing you pay if you’re not a complete shitstain of a human being for a reason.

As someone who also drinks … don’t. It is terrible for your cardio and definitely contributes to feeling like death, because your heart is recovering from some toxicity if you’ve drank within 24 hours or maybe more.

Other than that, other people have good advice. The ‘zone 2’ stuff is probably most relevant if you’re already semi-fit.

Other than that, all I can say is, the first ~5 minutes of any heavy cardio are going to suck, roughly for ever. Even in good shape, it takes the body a good long moment to warm up. I’m sure a proper warmup could reduce the, “I’m dying” feeling down to a, “yep, this is work”, but if you drank within a day, the feeling will be very easy to get regardless.

At least use your fucking brain and call them rallies. They are not protests. Nearly at all…

I don’t.

Which means the average dumbass that thinks existence isn’t torture quickly stops responding to me. Which means I am quickly alone yet again.

Do better than that. For your own sake, do better than that.

Eh. Misanthropy, while understandable for many of the weirdos on the fediverse (like me), can very easily reach illogical levels.

Usually it’s when combined with social anxiety. That can make for straight up antisocial behavior when being a jerk is the last thing on someones’ mind.

Definitely don’t play Sharks and Minnows, then…

You need swap for hibernate.

I’ve tried many distros. Nothing you’ve said is unique to Mint.

Just don’t use Manjaro.

Started as Warcraft 3 custom maps before Dota 1.

It is definitely their entire world, but the point is it takes far more than a few cells to create actual human-relatable sentience.

That’s coming from someone who fully understands and knows that many more animals than most humans care to admit also have sentience.

Those petri dishes are not sentient nor conscious.

That’s an insane exaggeration of consequences, but that game is still uniquely boring.

Ignorance will never save you.

Anything above 0 is already entering unethical territory, so…

Slowly? Those things would ‘die’ in under 24 hours!

Not really. It’s not nearly enough cells to have any kind of consciousness as we know it. A few neurons learning to play a game is a far cry from tying a being into a simulation of hell.

It begs the question why the key carts even exist.
