Tremulous was THE game for me for a couple of years, I remember people praising Natural Selection 2 as the FPS/RTS combo and I was like "but that's just one player playing an RTS and the rest playing an FPS". I always preferred the natural way we built in first person, and anyone could build anything, from Tremulous.

    I loved her podcast with John Green, it's called called The Universe. In retrospective, mixing an astrophysicist and an author with a sensitive side was a winning move. She kept explaining laws of physics and he kept seeing beautiful metaphors for life.

    The 10th Kingdom (2000). Great miniseries that mashes up fairy tales some modern twists. I really enjoyed all the characters, and the kind-of multiverse was cool.

    Tremulous (2006). A first person shooter with first person builder elements. The human team depends on electricity for their various guns and turrets, the alien team can build anywhere and walk on the walls and ceilings, but are more limited to their claw's melee range. There was no matchmaking so you just went to the same server all the time and made friends with the people there. It was cool.

    I grew up on Ubuntu (started on 4.10), moved to Kubuntu soon after and that was my daily until KDE 4.0 broke everything. I tried GNOME and XFCE but nothing really clicked for me. I got a job, I hated coming home to more sysadmin shenanigans and I moved to Windows.

    Finally after I heard that the Steam Deck and Proton working great, and after years of Windows doing bullshit constantly, I came back to Linux. This time Linux Mint because I've been told it's easy to use and has lots of support. I had trouble with the initial setup (Nvidia drivers not working with Safe Boot enabled, it took me two weeks to figure it out) but since then everything has been super smooth.

    Anyway don't shoot me, I have kids, they love GCompris and SuperTux!

    Here in Spain it's estimated that automatic transmission is between 30 and 50% of cars. No official numbers have been released.

    So most people have learnt with a clutch. Definitely everyone who has had their license for more than 10 years.
