imekon,

Oh the horror! I have a laptop running Linux! Two laptops even!!!

Somebody help me!

Windows is too bloated to run on said laptops. On one, during it’s life, it could barely do an update! I eventually wiped Windows and put Linux on it. It worked fine, just not very fast. I mean 4Gbytes is a bit of a squeeze.

imekon,

12 years I think for my imekon account on reddit.

imekon,

I deleted mine by hand, they still returned. I’ve taken to editing them and replacing the text with [deleted]. Seems to be working better for now.

imekon,

My main system is Windows, I’m a Windows developer. My older machines are Linux - because Windows runs like a dog on them and no longer supports them.

imekon,

I found the best way to study for me was to follow a video tutorial and copy the steps involved. See the results myself.

Learning a new game engine for example, I try doing something simple with, do I understand what I'm doing?

imekon,

Been OK. Used to go on marches but my partner's recent operation has reduced that quite a bit. We used to go every year here in London (and sometimes Brighton). We saw Pride in Canada a few years ago... it was odd to us seeing our hotel celebrating it.

I still remember my first gay pride march in the mid '80s when it was political in the UK, and we marched outside No 10 Downing St and yelled "Gay Rights!" back then.

imekon,

Video games did not exist when I was a child. They came much later, with text based games at first like moria, adventure etc.

Board games I remember are Risk, Monopoly and Business.

I played video games a lot in my early twenties, played a lot of Unreal Tournament and Quake when I worked on device drivers for sound cards... supporting... games! We had a modded UT with all sorts of custom maps and crazy taunts set up - hilarious as we played it at lunchtime on headphones.

"Respect my authority!" would ring out as someone got blasted, or "Meat! He He" etc.

After writing device drivers I went on to work for Codemasters on their racing games: DiRT, GRiD, F1 2011 and the ill fated BodyCount. I also fixed a bug in Just Cause.

imekon,

I remember thinking the world to be harsh place long before I figured out I’m gay. I didn’t want children and got told, “oh you’ll change your mind”. I never did.

imekon,

Seems pretty reasonable, even the federated stuff works fine - unlike Mastodon, oddly.
