Unless we're talking about pets, funny enough.

I remember reading so many of these as a kid. I had completely forgotten about these. A nice surprise in my feed.

I never really learned this skill. I can just lie down in bed all day doing nothing (apart from thinking), and not get bored. This trait is not very beneficial for productivity...

In recent years I've run some experiments on what works for me and what doesn't. '6h for work - 9h for rest - 9h for whatever' division seems to work wonders for me, with one day off in a week.

Trying to sleep less than 9h just messes everything up, unless I divide the sleep into two sections. Funny how that works. Extra 1.5h of being awake, especially during the productive night hours, was quite nice. But I hate waking up, and doing that twice a day is just simply too much!

I suppose I'm on the opposite side of visualization spectrum. I can easily conjure images so realistic and detailed that they pass for the real thing. I can also add texture, smells, temperature, sound, etc. but I can't fake weight or pure white color which for some reason always turns out somewhat grey or beige.

I don't think much in words however, most of my thoughts are in images and sensations. Which does make verbal communication somewhat challenging at times.

Sometimes the realism of visualization worries me somewhat. Many mental processes have a tendency to get a bit out of conscious control, and it would be quite troublesome to no longer know which of the things I see are actually real. On the plus side, I can visualize paintings on my walls, without actually buying any! I like having no decorations in my home, which seems to confuse people. Perhaps I should start comparing it to a blank canvas...

Upgrading PC for your mmo of choice? Dedication! :D

In the settings, among the other character customization things. You should know this unless... did you press randomize in character creation? D: Please tell me you've at least turned off motion blur...

That was pretty much me when I first decided to try installing Arch... at 2am.

I did always find those bird enthusiasts strange. As a side note, I wonder if there's a conspiracy theory among birds about how humans are actually government surveillance drones...

Their true legacy will be their fabulous eyebrows which shall be remembered for thousands of years.

When I was done reading the comic, this is exactly the image I had in mind! Good thing I'm not the only pessimist around, I love it.

This gives me very strong Talos Principle vibes. I should try playing the sequel at some point...

 
 

I'm still new(ish) to the game so I don't have any fancy gear yet... but here's my first attempt at fashion wars anyways!

I might have spent most of my gold on two dyes to try and mimic the colors of her flames, but I admit nothing.
