It sounded like OP wanted practical advice instead of sympathy. In practice you need to make your own luck by playing the hand you get dealt in life. There are many things you can't control and dwelling on them is almost never productive.

You need to have a moderately high income to move anywhere with a good safety net. Moving somewhere without a safety net does not sound like a good idea for someone with disabilities like OP.

Gameboy color dinosaur JRPG / metroidvania that seemingly no one else has ever played. Called Dinosaur'us. I had to google the name there and it turns out there is a wikipedia page so it's not totally obscure - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur%27us

I loved this game as a kid! There are surprisingly few good dinosaur games (although admittedly a lot of good dragon ones).

Edit: only ever released in the UK - that explains a lot of why it was so obscure. The ROM is on emulator sites though if you are curious.

You put more effort into this post than M$ did to their product

They get all the patches and minor upgrades in a timely fashion, similar to other distros. The major version updates do not come as readily though.

Do Facebook have a streaming service now?

Nice write-up btw

PS3 is probably the last gen to support a lot of local coop games

Have got Debian on an old thinkpad too because it is too under resourced to compile everything. I think Debian is amazing for a solid, reliable distro if you have weak hardware.

I use Gentoo and I love it. The installation process is a bit more complex than Arch but it doesn't have to be if you choose the precompiled kernel.

The package management is extremely flexible and the community are great. I have a morning routine where I log onto my gentoo desktop before work and update everything; would compare it to raking one of those miniature buddhist sand gardens. Very theraputic!

Yeah pretty much agree, would just say "drugs" as a catch-all here.

Had to scroll quite far down to find a non-wholesome answer! Everyone else is enjoying being a parent or whatever.

I think he's just good at self-promotion through coming out with these provocative - and completely arbitrary - takes to stay in the media.
