A beautiful answer, our trajectory was pretty similar, only that we were together and building it for over 10 years before we finally got married last year :)
My wife is my home, my constant, my safe harbor, the anchor of my sanity and peace of mind.
Two planets orbiting each other - I could not have said it better. We're a unit that is greater than its sum and we grew and continue to grow together as individuals and into each other.

I feel you. Do you have access to meds? At least for me, they do help a LOT to actually put that whole "strategy" into action, more or less, and not feel completely drained... Without meds the inner emotional resistance is pretty high so I can see how this my suggestion can sound like useless "theory" :/
Ah good point, totally forgot the early times, I was too young back then I guess. Okay then the impact of Steam is kind of mixed then. From practical experience it is more up to the game developers to enforce or not enforce it and often in practice especially indie games are DRM free or it is easy to circumvent. Steam at least does not install some surveillance rootkit on your system. And I'd claim that it plays about the same role in the indie game ecosystem as Bandcamp plays for music and GitHub plays for open source software, at least that is my impression.
And contra Bandcamp is of course, they recently sold out i.e. got bought by some larger fish with totally different but music legal stuff related business and Bandcamp lost a lot of employees. But at least for now I don't see drastic enshittification ot Bandcamp yet.
I guess ultimately there is no perfect saint company, they are entities that must generate profit, and only sometimes it really means making customers happy, but more often than not it doesn't - that's just capitalism, how it works everywhere.
Bandcamp, because it is the best place for independent music and there is nothing close to it.
Steam, because they started with non-horrible DRM (compared to other options) and now they are one of the companies that help Linux succeed for gaming (Steam Deck is just a Linux computer with controllers attached, and Proton is awesome for running Windows games on Linux).
Yeah it's an artificial dichotomy based on a popular misconception of what std::endl is and how \n is interpreted.
Ultimately it does not ask about line endings, but about flushing, which is a completely orthogonal question.
Legale Drogen sind ein Genussmittel das man nicht als Coping-Mechanismus verwenden sollte. Aber einem bisschen Flucht aus der verrückten Welt ist schwer zu widerstehen.
Aber ganz in Ernst - ich kann nur empfehlen, emotionale Probleme vorher zu lösen. Ich hatte Angstprobleme, und die wurden regelmäßig verstärkt. Nachdem ich die Ursachen davon reflektiert und verarbeitet hab, fast gar keine schlechten Trips mehr.
My true faith is: don't be an asshole and be a decent, rational and empathetic human being.
Everything else I may or may not believe does not matter, it's decoration.
Nice bud. Home grown?
Not putting enough money into education of the population is a crime against humanity done by the wealthy class. It's a tragedy and it's infuriating and it's well understood, yet nothing ever changes, because education threatens the power of capital, while all that capital needs is cheap labor and stupid cattle consumers to support their "infinite growth".
Haha absolutely, I'm also one of the people who always said all this rainbow and green washing is bullshit. As if they ever cared for anything.
Capitalism has no values, except for one: shareholder value. Yesterday they help sending people to concentration camps, today they help saving the world and increasing diversity, yeah, totally convincing.
There is one thing to rely on with capitalism - if you convince people you can make good money with it or it is good for the brand, they will jump onto it and squeeze the shit out of it. An abstract, amoral force, made from a large number of concrete shitty people.
