Well, it comes down to a difference in processor architecture. There is a big difference between ARM and x86/64 processors. ARM is mostly used in mobile devices like phones/tablets and x86/64 is typically laptops/desktops. If a game (or program) is going to be released on a certain platform, then it needs to be specifically created using that platform's architecture. That's why your laptop doesn't run Android/iOS apps and why Windows/Mac programs and games don't work for Android/iOS. A developer has to make their game for that specific computing architecture. Think of it like trying to insert a bluray into a dvd player, sure they are both movie formats, but the format themselves are targeted for a specific device (in this case dvd players vs bluray players).

Emulation is quite robust on Android via multiple emulators for various consoles. However, what you're asking is full virtualization of an operating system (Windows 10 or higher in this case) which just isn't viable on an Android tablet due to it being an ARM processor device, and many tablets being relatively low-spec. You need a fair amount of horsepower to run an OS on a VM at a decent speed. Even on a desktop computer or laptop playing games ends up being slower due to not accessing the video card directly (I believe, don't quote me, but it is slower generally especially for more graphic intensive games). Here is a thread on Reddit where someone asked the same question which provides some more thorough answers than what I just wrote: https://red.ngn.tf/r/virtualization/comments/l84esp/how_to_run_windows_10_on_a_virtual_machine_on/. Your best bet in this case is using some type of game streaming service that has an Android client and Disco Elysium on their catalog, otherwise there isn't a chance that you'll be able to accomplish this.

There's a book I just learned of from the Rev Left podcast called: "Lenin's Electoral Strategy from Marx and Engels through the Revolution of 1905: The Ballot, the Streets - or Both" by August Nimtz, that you might be interested in. It discusses Lenin's feelings on parlimentarianism, I haven't got a chance to read through it yet, but it sounds like it addresses the same concerns you're stating.

Here's the preface: http://www2.hhh.umn.edu/uthinkcache/gpa/globalnotes/Nimtz%20-%20Lenin-Preface%20Vol.%201.pdf

And here's a link to the book itself:https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1385-the-ballot-the-streets-or-both

I don't know the policy here on 'high seas' material, but I can PM you a link to a digital copy if you want ;)

Right now, I'd say the biggest beneficial thing you can do is just experiment. Pick a few things that look interesting and find some beginner resources to dip your toes in. It's important not to over-analyze and be too critical of these new pursuits in the beginning. My problem was, quite frequently, I'd talk myself out of something before I really explored it to even decide with confidence if it really was for me or not.

Allow yourself to just go with an idea without judgement. Reserve your criticism for later when you have enough information to make a informed decision on if it is for you. Although, be aware that there are times when you can intuit your interest and desire based off of how it makes you feel early on, just don't be so quick to pivor away because sometimes it's just the learning curve of trying something new, and when you power through the initial discomfirt you find that you DO like whatever it is.

Bottom line: don't feel as if you need to rush. With some exploring and experimentation you'll find something that really resonates with you. For me that was writing and it's been incredibly refreshing.

Good luck, comrade ;)

Fantastic choice my friend! I just discovered the NA stuff as well too. Never tried it until a few days ago and I must say it is great to have since I had been missing the taste of beer since there isn't anything that tastes like it. Anyway, good to see you here, sorry I've been incommunicado here on /c/sobriety , been a busy month, but I definitely aim to be on here a bit more and try to grow our humble little nook. Welcome to the sub ;)

Doing good myself. On Thursday I'll have 2 weeks again. Should be over two months before my relapse but I'm letting that go, moving forward and staying positive. I'm not going to let anything hold me back, not even a relapse. In the past I'd have juat said screw it, but I know that as long as I keep my head straight I don't have to let mistakes drag me back down.

Anyways, hope you guys are doing good, stay strong out there comrades <3

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Excellent! Keep on keeping on :D

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'm doing pretty good myself. I'm on day 5 now after my relapse but I'm chugging right along. At a doctor's appointment now and busy thinking about how to tackle the rest of the week. Feel a lot better about things then I did last week, so that's good. Looking forward to the future and what that looks like. Hope everyone else out there is doing good.

Great job! A year is big news. I get you on the ups and downs of self-esteem. Sometimes life just throws you curveball after curveball and it gets tough not to get down on yourself. Keep swinging for the fences, all we can do. I pray your job earch bears plentiful fruit soon <3

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I feel you. It's soul-draining to work as a pleb grinding away and under the geara of capitalism. My advice is to find your passion, what makes you tick. For me it was returning back to nature, reading and getting creative. Alcohol has a tendecy to get in the way of those pursuits, at least it did for me.

I would try and change up your routine (it's not easy) to find something that really makes you happy. It wont necessarily happen overnight but when you find a genuine love than it'll be worth the effort you put in in spades. I wish you the best and feel free to PM me if you ever need to talk to someone. We're here for you comrade <3

Smart Recovery Addiction Resources:

Rules & Guidelines:

  • Keep things respectful and civil, recognize everyone is on a different stage of their recovery.

  • Solidarity is key! Respond with kindness and empathy to your fellow comrades in their struggle.

  • There's room for venting frustrations, but try and keep things focused on the positive, meaningful changes we can make to impact our lives and others.

  • No glorifying drug and alcohol usage and no 'war stories' (addiction escapades), unless warranted by the context of the topic at hand.

  • All addictions are welcome, this is a safe space for comrades trying to sober up from ANY substance.

For sure. It's been a great past two weeks though. I'm definitetly feeling more like myself again.

Sweet! I just created it. It's called sobriety, I wanted a space where everyone could go to stay sober, not just alcoholics or a particular drug. Here's the link:
