Dan is very talented game developer/writer, undoubtedly. I loved his games from og Mafia to KCD, where he has a strong vision and follows it no matter what, which puts a soul to these games.
But other than that? Oh boy, he’s such a difficult person, aka an asshole to the max. Hateful, narcissistic mr knowitall who spits conspiracy shit. And everyone who oppose him gets banned on his platforms, which earned him nickname Ban/Baniel Vavra (instead of Dan/Daniel).
He’s been talking utter shit for past 5+ years…
I still love the book. But whenever I mention it, it’s always something like “oh, it’s the movie book, right?” or something like that. And no, that’s not a reaction that makes me happy.
I’ve read the book decades before the movie happened and I loved it. I don’t want to be tossed in the same bag with all these “I’m a huge Dune fan, it’s the best movie ever” people. So I usually don’t mention it.
I would say Dune couple years ago. But given how this whole craze around the movies happen I’m not so sure anymore. Haven’t seen them, scared doing so. I hated 80s Lynch one, because it felt retarded compared to the book and I don’t want to feel this again.
Apart from Dune, there are plenty more. Older works of Clarke or Asimov for example, or most of Strugacky brothers works I’ve read were amazing too.
I always imagine Oblivion level of bloom and that’s instant OFF.
What about bloom? That’s another instant “turn off” for me.
That’s the neat part, I don’t.
Hannah Montana Linux, obviously.
There were some other, but I did not count them as these pushed me to better future in the end or I can’t remember them at all.
When I was 2-3 years I was close to the end when I pushed the kettle and got soaked with boiling water. That was probably much worse than exams, but luckily I remember nothing of it. I apparently spent some time in hospital with tubes coming into and from me in places, but in the end I recovered with nearly no scars.
I was at the sea once in my life. I was swimming there and I dived maybe 2-3 meters deep. So that was my lowest point in my life.
I also got terrible sunburn there. My pale skin doesn’t mate with sun very well.
But apart from this silly response? IDK, I was apparently pretty fortunate in my life so far. Sure there were ups and downs, some minor, some major. The lowest I can think of was probably before my college final exams. I wasn’t the best student and these major exams were pretty damn difficult. Trying to squeeze everything in my head was very, very stressful to the point I felt I was going a bit crazy.
Hey, I’ve tried Tempus and Chora and both seems quite good. Also found out Wavio https://github.com/Joel-Mercier/wavio recently which I found to suit me the best I think. It’s pretty customisable and I like the UI.
As I said, I respect him as a dev. But apart from that he’s such an asshole. Most likely aiming for career in politics next elections on top of all.
