My dad found a OG gameboy in a train when I was a kid so when I actually played tetris lol. Close my eyes and see the bricks fall. (which is what the tetris effect is.)
Then I had it with Mario Kart, close my eyes and see the track move.
And the weirdest thing is when I finally got properly used to vr and played 3 hours of half-life: Alyx straight. I had to physically touch a wall to convince a part of my mind that this was real life, and not vr.
I’m also Dutch and honestly I think part of it is the amount of subtitled English tv I watched when I was young. I tried the same with German struggled finding things to watch.
If you look at Germany or France they often dub over stuff while we subtitle everything.

I live in the very non flat south East of the Netherlands. We still do everything on bike. Groceries, mail, like 4 children while carrying groceries and being on the phone.
We know, the EU also told meta to behave. Meta then threatened to leave and everyone was like “ok, when?”. Because we’ll just switch to the next best thing. So meta behaved. Sort of, it’s an ongoing thing.
It has always amused me that the tourists to the US that I’ve spoken to are often very excited to see raccoons, and disappointed if they don’t see them before they leave....
To those from the Western hemisphere, it’s always fascinating to hear that some homes and businesses from the times of the Greek philosophers still have inhabitants, and then you remember that the Western hemisphere is itself not without its own examples, for example some Mexican villages still have temples from the times of...
A local church is about that old (or it’s at least that old, the oldest record of it is from 1262). But there might just be a barn or a windmill that’s much older and nobody knows because at that point it’s actually medieval and record keeping wasn’t great back then.
For example, I remember the time when American Idiot by Green Day came out in 2004. The song “Wake Me Up When September Ends” was everywhere on the radio. The song is about the death of the vocalist’s father dying when he was age 10....
Alive by Pearl Jam is about a guy who’s dad ended up not being his dad because his real dad died. The guy looks a lot like his dad and his mom misses his dad so the mom tries to have sex with the guy.
Most people just hear the “I’m still alive” and think it’s a victorious song. But the I’m still alive part is meant as a sad statement.
Let’s hope that my mx master lasts then. It’s really comfortable in my hands and since I have arthritis that’s not just a nice to have. Other mice actually hurt my hands.
Quasar on one team member anf and autocannon on another is great on bot missions because it’s so easy to shoot down bot drops with the quasar. Then the autocannon user can take down the factories from range.
It can be from any angle. Presently, I’m pondering what kind of context various LGBTQ+ characters can be written without making any kind of political statement, or rather, simply making a statement through normalization in a natural way. In other words, how do I empathize like the cool kids clique?...
Captain Holt in brooklyn 99. He’s both black and gay but the most standout thing about him is how he is extremely precise and organised and how he shows very little emotion.
He’s portrayed by Andre Braugher who sadly enough past away last year.
Thanks, good to know that me saving up for a new secret labs was a good decision.
I’ve also always found my Dxracer chair to be very comfortable and really help against back pain. Then again I’m not very tall and quite skinny and on threads like these I’ve often asked others that liked gamer chairs, and they seem to be skinny too.
When did you get hit by "the tetris effect" AKA playing a video game so much that you get the urge to do moves/actions from the video game in real life?
When I got hooked on Morrowind in middle school it occurred to me to quicksave before a test at school....
