NASA.

I was PMing a student project for NASA and the sheer number of tabs and files I had open on my PC killed Windows.

I had a week until the deadline and I'm in a situation where things may or may not save, basic functionality was questionable and I had literally thousands of pages information to format and get out.

Once I turned it in I installed Linux and never looked back.

Which is it? Your choices don't make life more difficult or they do and that's why they are good?

The first four dragon warriors/quests were surprisingly ambitious.

DW is one of the first console RPGs.

DW2 is in many ways the template for a generation of RPGs, with progressively gathering party members and opening up the map via gaining new travel modes.

DW3 is still amazing. The party creation and job system is done better than most other attempts at it. And returning the old world was so cool.

DW4 had a true multi-perspective narrative with a detailed story. Unlike anything else that had come out before.

Later DW/DQs stopped innovating as much and stagnated, much as the entire JRPG genre feels stagnant.

I can think of no punishment more severe.

Nearly every post I've seen is not only applicable to me, but my wife, friends and family.

So either these aren't things unique to the ADHD experience or everyone I know has ADHD.

The only thing he did that was questionable was set up 4 shifts. That's a big change and having engineering work around the clock is a bit of a dick move.

I think you might have something wrong with your install. I do some heavy simulations (mostly Thermo and structural stress tests) with old hardware and haven't had to restart ever.

I'm baffled as to how you can have so many problems.

People under the age of 25 tend to be really bad at the Internet. The number of times high schoolers or college kids are mystified by how I'm able to get information quickly from search engines is beyond me.

I'm not surprised they can't tell what's real, they can't search for tiny details like "transmission time to Mars" or "gravity on mercury".

I swapped to Linux in the last month. But honestly being able to use my phone as a backup made me not worry about needing a computer right then.
