Unfortunately it’s both.

Long Covid with ME has made me increasingly dumber. It sucks bad. I have difficulty finding words, following conversations, understanding long texts and just plain remembering things. It’s devastating to be more stupid but knowing that you could do better.

Just a few minutes ago I said I couldn’t play Leisure Suit Larry 7 because it’s too hard. Sucks ass.

Santa did exist historically. Saint Nicolas was a bishop in what is now Turkey. Supposedly he helped a lot of poor children.

I’m obsessed with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. I thought I wouldn’t be able to handle the complexity and dodge mechanics. But story mode goes brrrrrr. Thanks to Jennifer English, lead actress, who asked them to make an easy difficulty so that she could play it as well.

And I might even put the difficulty up a notch.

Due to disability I practically live in my bed. I often sleep on nuts, noodles, peas and rice. Once I slept on a chicken nugget.

Esperanto

If for some reason you don’t like Libre Office then MS Office works in the browser.

I think the expectation is that only combatants are killed.

Valve have supposedly been experimenting with x86 emulation on ARM for their next VR headset. So I think they might actually be well on their way to enter that market. Probably with the plan of making PC games playable on Android.

That tastes have specific regions on the tongue. We actually had to protest when that shit was taught at our son’s elementary school. Don’t know if it came up for our younger daughter.

Poor kids at school had old atlases where Germany was still separated. But I guess that’s just obsolete and not false knowledge.

That’s my secret cap. I’m always exhausted.

The Steam Deck has been a literal lifesaver. Enabling me to play in bed.

My illness is chronic but my tits are iconic!

So, uh, no, I’m not ok. I’m glad I live in a country with a somewhat working social safety net and I’m lucky to have a loving wife who can take care of me.

Exercise. In my case it’s so bad that “sitting upright” counts as exercise. Or “watching something slightly intellectually stimulating”. I basically live 24/7 in bed. Haven’t showered in months. I look forward to the next day my wife shaves off my ugly ass dirty greasy hair.

The real girls are the friends we made along the way.

Huh? I thought they already retracted the DMCA and issued an apology.

We also have a slow version of this on one of the !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone communities.

I do, but I rarely have the time or energy to write on it. https://bjoern-tantau.de/

I also made one to collect the art by my babushka. https://brigitte-tantau.de/

Theoretically you can make infinitely long words in German.

No One Lives Forever

I bought it right after it was released and I don’t know why. I’d usually only pay full price for a game if I had obsessed for months over it. It ended up being a favourite game of mine.

Yeah, with time they get more and more cheeky. Depending on how you raised them of course. A common occurrence is a toddler offering you something and then pulling away when you reach for it and dying of laughter.
