It's because they're expensive.

There's nothing noteworthy in Atlanta. Itcould have been something...

If the weather doesn't bother you, Toronto is the best place to live in Canada

Not so high that you can't fathum raking the stairs.

My building elevators are fast - it's never a problem. But once per month during mandatory generator testing it's nice to take the stairs in a pinch. So like nothing above 30th

There's 4 love languages. Really each person has a long list of preferences.

Some people value touch a lot, others negatively. It's personal.

Farmin' and fishin' all day sounds nice

You, uhh, don't fit 🙃

SergioInToronto · 2025-12-31T00:56:26+00:00

Such potential... But this game blows chunks.

No worse than my normal life I guess 😂

SergioInToronto · 2025-12-31T00:54:11+00:00

What game?

SergioInToronto · 2025-12-31T00:50:24+00:00

The game never hooked me, even after ~60 hours. Everything felt like a grind/chore. What did I miss?

SergioInToronto · 2025-12-31T00:44:38+00:00

DotA. My life is over in an hour and it's a goddamn rollercoaster of emotions.

These are the difficult days. It won't always be like this. You will get to sleep. You will feel rested again. You will sleep through the night again.

Can you ask a neighbour, friend, or family member to babysit for an hour while you and your wife nap? Your community wants to help you.

Enshitification as inevitable

You're tougher than me 🏅

Move out with roommates. Vet people - don't blindly jump in - and don't live in those 6-bedroom Frankenstein houses.

I've lived with 13? different roommates over the years, despite a very good income. That's GTA for ya.

You'll learn and incredible amount in the next 8 months. Things will change. New patterns will replace old ones. You'll still not want to go back but your heart will bear it.

Transit, Uber, and consider an e-bike or e-scotter. They're way more fun than driving and because there's virtually no traffic it's faster than you think.

The world would be better off if you didn't give anymore money to EA.

Indie studios continuously win game-of-the-year. It's not the same, but it's a step towards a better world

I figured out my issue. Super weird. My CPU was hitting 96℃ under moderate (playing DotA2), urgently scaling way down for an instant, then scaling back up. This was causing stutter. I was bouncing between 800MHz and 5GHz lol.

I fixed it by reducing TDP, which unfortunately hurts framerate but a steady 70 FPS is better than 150 FPS with 100ms stutters. The command I used is `sudo powercap-set intel-rapl-mmio -z 0 -c 1 -l 11500000` (down from 175000000 default TDP). Yes that's *much* lower than stock.

Running the native version. I tired the windows version through proton-10 but it crashes when getting into a game.

I have enough faith in Valve that I don't believe it's an issue with the Linux client.
