    The thing is that Steam doesn’t have a history of shutting down a significant fraction of games they have available by themselves. Hence people don’t criticize them.

    Also you can (not saying that you should, I personally don’t trust Gabe) put some tust in a private owned company if you trust the owners.

    In case of public companies they are forced by law and major shareholders into making shortsighted decisions and prioritizing profit only.

    Polish speaker here this is a moderately sensible sentence that reads:

    The ruthless Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz (actual name and surname) has departed from Strzebrzeszyn (town name) to Pszczyna (another town) via Szymankowszczyzna (some village). Although many times he was full of bile, oblivious to the results, he found the final happiness in a grass blade.

    The last sentence makes little logical sense to me, ‘although’ doesn’t fit there. ‘happiness in a grass blade’ sounds like an idiom for a love of nature, but actually doesn’t ring any bell. While ‘final happiness’ is ominous as fuck.











  • If you are in a decent condition it’s likely doable from the get go.

    It’s definitely doable for almost anyone via gradual distance increase.

    For reference:

    I’m your average, feeble programmer. My only interest in biking is exchange of temporary suffering for a good chance at longer and comfier life. Also cheaping out on public communication tickets.

    I was slightly overweight when started biking (25.5 BMI). I have 6km to work. Had to do round trip and back (so 18km pretty much your distance) one day a few weeks after starting bike commutes (I forgot something and had to do a round trip right after arrival).

    At 6km at the start I was pretty spent and almost at the point of needing a shower.
    At 12km I was exhausted, in pain and absolutely needed a shower.
    At 18km, with a 15min break for a shower at home I was fucking dying (figuratively).

    So if you never biked I suggest feeling out your limits and gradual acclimation. But it’s definitely achievable.
