Learning a language in itself is not a bad thing, as long as you have a lot of support and mix with the locals, but mixing it with integration politics, the R word will start to rear its head: by endlessly raising the bar to a fantasy “native” level of the target local language in business hiring, that a coded word meaning they don’t want expats. While the government is simultaneously pulling public funding away from language schools. Oh no, you will never be one of them. Realistically, you will also need some years to be at a native level; the pressure is real.

Still one of the best games with a story that subverts its own genre alongside KOTOR 2, definitely worth experiencing.

What the fuck…

I used to just use a cloud service like you years ago, but try sync them through GitHub, there is a 1gb limit on private repositories though, but it should be fine as long as you don’t put videos and sounds in there.

There are tons of alternative ways for you to sync notes. I have used it for so long without spending a dime.

Oops, I didn’t even notice.

Man, you left out Obsidian, it is a godsend for studying and notetaking.

Get an ultra-wide monitor, split it into four panes, one pane to import the pdf you want to read, another for note-taking, and spare another one for the AI for Markdown formatting and explaining texts (optional). I can’t think of a more efficient workflow for studying digitally.

Ultima Underworld, I feel like getting back into retro gaming, so the first thing I have to do is to follow the tradition: read the manual. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have known I could make popcorn with a lit torch; that is an early prototype of “combine items” like in survival horror games.

I have tried a little Ultima 7: The Serpent Isle just to test how it runs on my machine; they definitely made sure that you pass the test of the history of Britannia before you can even continue the game.

Really like the old days when they still made booklets like History of Britannia (as told by Kyle the Younger), just so that you get immersed in the game world before you even play the game.

I know that guy from the Hannibal Lecter Red Dragon and Rush Hour, he’s kind of mid as a director, somehow I am not really surprised by these Hollywood types…

I have:

-Brave as my browser

-Ublock Origin

-DNS-wide AdBlock

-Youtube sponser block

I barely see any ads now, except those that pop up as an overlay and nag you, and some of them can be block manaully.

I am a native; it’s a very multicultural island, but I have never seen an American coming here.
