"Realistic goals" at this point have simply become to move away from America until it goes the way of the Roman Empire, then come back to rebuild the ashes.

You realize the office of the US President is involved in important things in the world

Such as maintaining the safety and full functioning of the United States of America? Yes, you're completely correct. That's exactly why this needs to happen.

But those same rich fucks will shit a cinderblock if you try to have a second job and aren't focusing 130% of your life energy into their job.

I believe wholeheartedly that we'll have all our shit straightened out in about 3 generations or so, or at least we will have new problems different than our current ones. Assuming we survive the climate catastrophe that is.

But the next 100-200 years are about to be real fucking bad for a lot of people.

I had a look at VaatiVidya's video on this (many spoilers, you are warned) and while this all looks incredibly awesome, all I can think about seeing some of the new weapons are how these things are going to be an absolute menace in PvP. Specifically the >!beast claws.!<

Good thing I'm already trash at PvP and am used to losing, because it looks like we're getting like 8 new variations on what made Rivers of Blood a meta pick. I'm not really that upset about it, PvP isn't my main draw to elden ring and I am going to have a ton of fun with these new weapons in single player, so I consider it a net positive, but even so, yeesh.

Most F-Droid stuff AFAIK should be pretty plug and play. It'll download an APK which you then just open in order to install the app. You may need a file browser app if your phone OS doesn't come with one. You may also need to allow installs from third party somewhere in the settings. But android isn't like iOS and won't generally restrict your ability to install whatever you want, outside of an options popup to make sure you know what you're doing.

I don't use LibreTube personally and can't speak on that specifically though, if it does something other than just download you an APK file.

This is the sort of use case that VR can be a great fit for if someone put the money into creating it. Roblox isn't the medium for this.

In a very basic sense a "clock" is just a fixed oscillation. In CPUs, for instance, all your data is carried by bursts of electricity that you can think of like Morse code. Bits are delineated by the clock, which is one wire that lights up on a regular interval and does nothing else (the "clock signal"). Every other process uses that clock signal as a reference point to know when one piece of data ends and the next begins. Essentially the time between one clock signal and the next is one "frame" of CPU time and you'll usually have a few million or so of those every second.

So if we think of this in a physics sense instead of a computer science sense, a physics clock could be any particle or particle interaction that happens repeatedly on a regular schedule. It could even happen on an irregular schedule, there's no law saying the clock has to be consistent. I think it's probably on a regular schedule, but for all we know the pico-femto-Planck or whatever the basic unit of time ends up being defined as might have slight variance caused by who knows what. But the important idea to take away is that a "clock" in a fundamental sense is basically just any action that repeats. It could be or look like anything. Maybe time is tied to quantum foam fluctuations, or gravity in a general sense, or specifically the up quark doing something. I have no idea and I think this researcher probably doesn't either.

Fuck yeah, good for Mike. That sort of thing still works sometimes, but you have to be really, really good at what you do. But getting a good portfolio in the right hands at the right time is really all it takes.

Gentlemen, you know what must be done. We ride at dawn.

After reviewing this list I have neglected to mention Shadows of Forbidden Gods, a Civ like where you play as Cthulhu, and more importantly I forgot to talk about Deep Rock Galactic and will be hurling myself into lava as penance at my nearest convenience.

Hell yeah I would.

If you enjoy roguelikes, I got you in spades.

• Slay the Spire is currently $8 USD on sale and is one of my most played games of all time. Deck building roguelike.
• Caves of Qud is the single greatest modern classic roguelike that I've ever played and is also in my top 5 of most played games of all time. $20 USD. If you understand what the string of words "modern classic roguelike" means and that intrigues you then you're in for a treat and a half.
• Dead Cells speaks for itself on its store page and is technically out of price range for this at $25 when not on sale, but it's worth the extra five bucks. It's also worth the additional $25 for all the DLCs, after you've sunk 200 hours into the base game already.
• Cult of the Lamb - ditto above about the price tag, you actually largely can't go wrong with most things published by Devolver Digital. I own a significant percentage of their lineup and haven't been disappointed. Devolver isn't the dev company, but they take a lot of indie teams for publishing and I like them a lot. They're good folks that sell good games.
• Risk of Rain 2 - is also $25 but worth the squeeze. I'll try to keep everything else in the price range.
• Rift Wizard - $14.99, and the very similar but slightly superior Rift Wizard 2 at $17.99 are fun little strategy-heavy games about playing what amounts to wizard chess. The store page videos will describe this game better than I'm able to. It's actually quite a good little game for people that enjoy games that require you to become ludicrously overpowered to survive.
• Balatro - $14.99, the significant buzz around this game is entirely warranted, cursed poker will consume the next four months of your life. You have been warned.
• Path of Achra - $9.99 A self described "broken build sandbox" that is, and very much looks like, a game made by one dude in his spare time. Don't let the art fool you, I love it to pieces. Another game for people that enjoy games that require you to get super overpowered to survive.
• Tiny Rogues - $9.99 I only recently got into this one. Great game, great replay value, check out videos to see if it's for you.

Outside of the roguelike genre there are also a couple good ones that I'll name, though I do admit this list will probably be shorter:

• Siralim Ultimate - $19.99 is one of the grindiest monster collector games I've ever played but if you enjoy grinding that sort of game, you can build teams that would dunk your competitive Uber Pokémon team into the shadow realm. It has a ridiculous number of creatures with a ridiculous number of absurd abilities and you'll find yourself farming this game on and off for like six years. Or I did anyway, I've been following the evolution of the game since Siralim 2 in 2016. You can also play any of them on your phone, which I actually find to be the superior experience for the most part because it's a good game to play in 10-minute bursts over long periods of time. If you're going to get any of them go straight to Ultimate, don't bother with the others, it's the same game significantly evolved over time.
• Exanima - $14.99 Top down physics based melee combat RPG. Check the store page videos and youtube to figure out if this interests you. It very much did interest me, and after several years of dev silence the game is now being actively updated again, which is very exciting.
• Ultrakill - $25 currently (I know, I know, I said I wouldn't do this anymore...) Buy it on sale if you're a fan of fast paced FPS games, say new Doom for example. Don't read, just buy. Trust me on this one. I wouldn't steer you wrong, I promise.
• Hollow Knight - $14.99 The greatest metroidvania of our age and spawned more knockoffs than the genre namesakes did. Pls give silksong.
• Sunless Sea - $18.99 This is a very slow and very story driven game about being a sailor in hell. Familiarity with the general setting of Fallen London is very beneficial but is not required. This game is slow. But if you can vibe with it, it will deliver one of the most deeply touching RPG stories I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. This game is truly a treasure that won't be appreciated by most people. But even so I would be doing you a disservice if I didn't at least mention it for you to look at.

I have to stop myself here because I could go on about this all night and still not be done. Gaming is my main hobby and indie games are the main games I play. Name me a genre you enjoy and I'll scroll around for recommendations if none of the above catch your eye.
