  • Mostly people are nostalgic for specific games because they played them in a special time in their lifes. Those early teens where you start to appreciate more complex stories, where you have the time and motivation to spend hundreds of hours on a game over a summer, maybe with your friends sitting near you all experiencing the game together for the first time. And as bitter as it sounds: There might be better games around now, but no game will be able to give you that experience.




  • Yeah, but on the other hand it is really annoying for us linux folks. Those games can run on linux as most games do with Proton. Some gaming companies are actively fighting against linux users and are even banning them. And then in every discussion about linux someone is showing up and shouting “I can’t use linux, my games don’t work, linux sucks”.











  • So if you start your work life at 16 and retire at 67, that will give you 51 years working, 14,5 years in retirement and 16 years as a child. That is the “best” case here in Germany, most people won’t work that long, other countries have lower retirement ages and many people are doing additional schooling and university. But even that means that you have to put away / pay into retirement fund 14,5/51 = 28% of your income during your work life to support your retirement.
