I can't figure out how to make a spoiler section in Lemmy so I won't say much, but the lore that describes some of the transformations in dead space was just so disturbing, still sort of sticks with me.

Signalis is a great game with a story that stuck with me for weeks. I wouldn't say it "terrifies me" but it's definitely both disturbing and heart wrenching.

it's a shame because Prey was one of the best games of the decade.

I have left arch installs un-updated for months and had them be fine. I did leave one for a year once and the update hosed it, but it was still recoverable and runs fine to this day.

so, I wouldn't worry much about the "update every week" thing. even on my daily driver I forget for a month sometimes.

I feel like this is the answer. if you've ever had to maintain a build pipeline or repository for .deb or .rpm, it's not exactly pleasant (it is extremely robust, however). arch packaging is very simple by comparison, and I really doubt they'd need much more.

neither of these were in a genre I'd usually consider, but they got me into it. still when I listen to either, they're in my head all day.

like most things, some of it is very good but the vast majority of it is extremely poor. I wouldn't say I like or dislike it as a rule but I'd say on average I dislike it by far, and when it's bad it has a way of being very intolerably bad.

not an issue if you live in a city centre where you won't need to drive, or on the outskirts of somewhere that has good public transit. hard to say what your requirements are though; if you're planning to have to commute or otherwise.

humanscale makes lovely stuff. I have some of their monitor arms and cable management and they're top notch.

lol, that's a huge bummer though. when I picked up this chair I lived in a fairly major city, and it was during the "we're not doing return-to-office" times so I might've gotten lucky with what was being liquidated.
