right one could probably be boiled down to:

heavy oversimplification warning

if anyone involved has their set of values / demands / needs met / heard / respected, with some room to

push each other forward — not like climbing the everest everyday, more of learning how to take smooth turns

grow — enjoy the things you enjoy, learn the skill you are learning, read the thing you want to read, self-discoveries, sharing experiences from your journeys

fail — nothing better forming in a relationship than some of those simple human fuckups sprinkled on top, especially valuable if the side doing the fucking up can do the cleaning up part too, or at least is learning (or willing to learn) how to do it.

quality time together — the more easily it happens, the better, but this takes time to learn and polish

bonus: one of the greatest indicators about what type of a person is on your side is how they react to your tiny wins and small joys. If they jump on board and enjoy them with you — that’s one of the healthiest indicators of long term relationship potentials. You like flowers, they will smile almost any time you enjoy gardening or talking about that one beautiful one you saw the other day. They like painting, you will just feel great seeing them covered with paint…

and so on — “I am team you” approach can get you through a lot, not everything automagically, but most of the obstacles down the road.

wrong one? Oh, we don’t have enough space on the internet to write all that down.

bonus: besides some heavily narcissistic or sociopathic partners, having the “is it working? / is it the right person?” thought process / verification is really great and often indicates that it is time for you, someone or everyone involved to grow a little, or a lot…

or sometimes just brings even more appreciation for the partner

yeah, it sounds fun, but knob always steals the show for me — It just works too damn well…

I’ve consulted this matter with the board and they allowed to use it on this planet, but not on Thursdays. They appreciate the effort of finding the right characters for it.

Christian really achieved something amazing, you are just mentioning a name… of an app… and I still, sort of, get nostalgic about it.

Well… respect goes a long way.

I saw this funny thing about that!

tiny sidenote: just don’t get discouraged, you are probably starting a lifetime journey not a one afternoon hike

so… I just started playing Red Dead Online this weekend. On Linux. It works… and it’s fun, I just bought a new horse and finished some missions with random people. Someone killed my horse once, with fire, that was a very sad moment — luckily, I had some insurance.

I don’t want to fuck up your depression status or anything like that, but being this honest with yourself sounds sort of cool… in a way… you know?

It sounds like a beginning of something or… a wave.

Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, 
but so far — this is working,
so thank you, maybe?

I just went for the memtest86 and let it do its thing… Should I do some more testing? I really feel like this is not about memory, at least not in a “physically damaged” way.

Okay, tested this just now, disabling swap makes no difference but thanks for a new command for the future!

No, anything proton related works fine, other apps start crashing when something using proton runs in the background or after it was running before.

This problem keeps popping up all the time, thru multiple updates since I finished installing everything.

I will check the logs.

Quit your boloney, just bring some sweet honey!

With all the other comments, it becomes pretty obvious that the easiest way to do it, would be being a multi-billionaire in the first place… Wait a second…

Put a horrific necktie on this man, he’s clearly in some sort of pain, yet his face is trying to form an expression… for the ladies, I guess?

True Poet

See, you are right and that’s exactly why I started with “This might be a little on the side of the main topic”…

This is a fantastic timeline if you want to go into details.

Well then… To stay true to the history, we probably would have to go back to Galaxian from ‘79, which introduced 1-UPs / additional lives, bonus stages and player upgrades, plus simple summary / statistics for hits and misses.

Well, when I was writing that, after midnight I will add, I had this feeling that Mario was doing this thing earlier but for me Mario stands as an icon for the first level design overall as a golden standard for introduction to mechanics and really efficient use of memory for data, and one of the first uses of dynamic music… So you are totally right, Mario brought a lot of things, I’ve just played Crash much more.
