The line work looks more competent than usual for this com, but why is there so much noise?

I think posting it on Peertube would maybe be preaching to the choir.

To add to this, you can do this to yourself as well. Reward yourself for the right behavior, tell yourself your did a good job, etc. It's (I'm guessing) harder than extrinsic motivation, but it still works. Take advantage of having a stupid lizard brain under all the stuff that makes us human.

“The biggest change that we’ve seen over the last few years when it comes to video game adaptations is respect of the source material”

How did they go 30 years before trying that?

Theory - Husband thinks about wife. Wife thinks about boyfriend. Boyfriend thinks about blue plastic water drums. Such is life.

If they are "the same in this particular sense" then use that language instead. In no other context do people use the phrase "these are the same" meaning "these have something in common." I wouldn't defend the phrase "Galas and Fijis are the same" because of their similarities any more or less than if I were to compare apples and oranges. I'd say they're both apples or they're both fruit or any number of specific descriptors that they actually share.

It seems to me that if people are using this language as you suggest then they should communicate more clearly, or, more likely, this isn't what they mean.

That's really considerate of her to not compare them

After reading this, I can't help thinking that the author's ideal Minecraft movie would be awful. They concede that the game has evolved to be mostly popular with middle schoolers and that there is a lot more story-telling structure than there once was, and they lament that the movie leans heavily on these things rather than being structure-less, lonely, and serene. I don't have any interest in the movie as it exists now, but I'm not sure anyone at all would be interested in the one envisioned by the author.

I don't use Linux. I'm here from /all. I last attempted Linux probably around 2006 or so. The biggest thing I remember was driver support being awful. I guess it's a lot better now?

My biggest hurdle to making the switch is that it takes effort. It's not because I'm lazy; it's because I don't see any need to put in effort. Because I already have an OS, and it works fine. I know that to some, particularly in this community, there are a lot of things about Windows to complain about, but the vast majority of users can't come up with a list of things that bothers them about their daily OS. If my computer already had Linux on it, I'd probably feel exactly the same way.
