I always thought that the whole concept of being stuck in a pokeball for years could be akin to abuse.

There's all sorts of opinions on what the inside of one is like... I've seen a lot of people claiming it's like suspended animation and they don't register the passage of time, but, the anime establishes that they're aware of what's going on outside of their pokeballs while they're in there, which in my opinion makes it worse.
Suspension is pretty bad too. Imagine: you're brought out to fight for your life. You get knocked unconscious. Will you ever wake up again from those terrible wounds? Next thing you know you're up again, fighting for your life against some other monster. If you win, you go right back inside with the taste of blood in your mouth with the next thing you know is another life or death battle.
This happens hundreds of times until your trainer brings you out once to show off and being conditioned only for violence, you attack the first Pokemon you see. Horrifying onlookers.
I think matpat or one of the theorists said that they’re basically in hell being pumped full of stuff like steroids and adrenaline is that they can always be combat ready
Okay, but MatPat is usually a pretty good indication of what not to believe.
My headcanon is that the Pokémon inside the Pokéballs/PC experience a virtual reality in the PokéPark from the Wii games, something similar to the games is Sword Art Online.
Hey! Gnome is really convenient and productive, and it works great with my touchscreen.
The entire design philosophy of GNOME drives me up a wall. Who in their right mind decided we don't need minimize buttons on our windows?
It's just awful. It's even worse than macs, which is honestly an impressive accomplishment.
It's definitely a departure from tradition, but there are whole swaths of people who have never regularly used a desktop interface who will probably feel at home. I can use gnome 3 for long periods of time but will inevitably switch to xfce or KDE for serious multitasking
I actually really like GNOME on a laptop but I can't stand it on a desktop. I think it just has specific usecases in mind.
I honestly love Gnome. But then again it also is very distraction free which is good for my ADHD. It helps keep me focused on both my desktop and Thinkpad T480 when I use either one.(─‿‿─)
KDE is good too, but when I used it, I spent more time tinkering than getting anything accomplished. (￢_￢)
@yote_zip @HappyFrog RIP gnome 2.
To be fair, gnome 2 did find new life as Mate.
I guess popular open source projects never get to rest in peace.
(That said, I personally love contemporary GNOME with a passion)
I love Gnome, laptop, desktop, can’t get enough.
For someone that doesn't have much experience with Linux, what's bad about it?
GNOME has a very different workflow from most traditional desktop environments. It takes some getting used to, and it's debatable whether it's even a good workflow on a desktop. It's a lot more keyboard-driven and single-window/activity focused, which I find works really well on a laptop but annoys me to no end on a desktop. Here's a couple videos on GNOME 3's workflow: One, Two
There's also some political reasons people dislike GNOME - GNOME version 3 was the advent of this new workflow and it replaced/killed GNOME 2 which people really really really liked. On launch GNOME 3 was very buggy, slow, and bloated, and even though it's gotten better people have trouble shaking this first impression. Even now there's valid criticisms of GNOME 3, such as its over-simplification and need to hide/remove useful things from the users, and its over-reliance on community-maintained extensions (which frequently break on GNOME version updates) to try to bring critical functionality back into the users' hands. Its "rival", KDE, has roughly the opposite approach - giving the users as many options as can fit on a settings page and giving them options for how they want their workflow to function.
If you want the original GNOME 2 experience, there's MATE. If you want GNOME 3 but in a traditional workflow style, there's Cinnamon.
Interesting, thanks for the insightful post! So many options for Linux builds. My only recent experience is with KDE plasma on SteamOS, which seems to work really well.
From what I know, Gnome tends to be more of the "our way or the highway" type, similar to Apple stuff.
If you like how they do things, it's fine. But if you don't, you need to use something else, like KDE plasma (which is very customizable).
Nothing. It's just different to the 'traditional' desktop layout.
B-but KDE
That Braixen is right. Gnome really is unbearable.
This is some good shitpost xD
DON'T TURN ME INTO PYTHON PLZ I DONT WANNA BE JUST DATA D:
I did once have a conversation with my late gf about this and we at the end of it just see Pokemom Storage as some sort of Black Mirror horror.
I remember a time when Gnome was preferred over KDE. Always find it funny when things do a full 180.
I could never put one of my favorite ‘mons into the PC.
She looks so sad 😢
