    me when I feel like digital drawing:

    1. open Krita
    2. spend 2 hours getting a brush just right
    3. exhausted, only draw for 5 minutes before giving up and getting my physical sketchbook and a pencil

      There’s such a relief in using simple physical tools that have a very limited number of parameters and degrees of freedom to consider. Same with reading a book vs reading on a computer.

        My friend. I’ve seen artists friends spends days and hundreds of dollars, experimenting with paints, pencils, sharpening tools, brushes, etc. Have you seen how deep the brush material rabbit hole is?

        I’ve seen some artists who normally use advanced programs try MSPaint and make some amazing art.

      Gentoo? That’s a distro I haven’t used in a long time. A long time…

      Well, of course I know him. He's me.

    I have Elite: Dangerous. I literally built a 6D motion sensor headtracking rig with IR diodes and a modified PS EYE. 30 hours of config later I had the P E R F E C T config, so I moved on to new games.

    Balancing the insane ADS in Cyberpunk 2077 by manually editing core files while battling 150+ mods, now that’s what I call enjoyable gaming!

        i can optimize a system for negligible results all night until it runs smoooth and purrs like a kitten

        Wait, is that purring a destabilized fan? I’ll have to get back to you.

      Sounds like my buddy configuring like 300 Skyrim mods over the course of a week until the game is thoroughly unplayable without a crash for longer than 5-15 minutes, then he’ll play it for a couple days and do something else.

        I played New Vegas over 150+hours on my last run and -50 of those hours was just installing mods and testing them :D

        • Play Cyberpunk on max difficulty? No challenge.
        • Play Cyberpunk with ultra hardcore difficulty mods? Death isn’t even routine.
        • Make Cyberpunk run well, while incorporating missing features? Now that’s a challenge on my level, it truly feels like me versus the challenge the developers CDPR executives have laid before me.
