    Windows certainly doesnt have uniformity.

    Where are my game saves located?

    Are they in my hidden AppData folder? If so, which of the three subdirectories does it live?

    If not there, then surly it’s in the Saved Games folder.

    Nope. It must be in My Documents.

    Shit… Maybe in the Program Files?

    For fuck sake, where is it?!

    Web browser > search > pcgamingwiki (great resource BTW), save game location. AH-HA! IT’S IN… My Documents?

    I just checked there! (Half an hour passes)

    Found it! Now why the FUCK does Windows partition the local user directory from the OneDrive user directory?!

    Windows is a FUCKING mess. Once you get used to Linux, you’ll understand the worst thing is Mozilla thinks it’s okay to put its config file one directory up from where it should be.









  • You’re not alone in not living up to your principles, virtually nobody can.

    I once tried to vet all the products I was buying to make sure I wasn’t contributing to slave labour, or deforestation, or animal exploitation, and it was exhausting.

    It was good to identify brands which were absolute villains, and I still avoid them like the plague, but the amount of willpower it takes to travel to multiple stores and pick only the lesser of evils is something I’m not capable of right now.

    I make gradual improvements, which is sustainable.

    I am dead-set on repairing what I can, and hate spending money on new things.



  • My mother does wildlife rescues, birds are mostly, then goes home and cooks a roast chicken.

    She knows it’s hypocritical. Cognitive dissonance is weird.

    Also, it’s not so alienating. I attend dinners with my family, and I’ll eat roast vegies, and bring a side-dish for myself. Over time a few of my friends became vegan (I didn’t convince them to) and it’s exciting to share recipes.

    If nothing else, reduce your meat intake over time.

    As with most changes people make, the more drastic, the more unlikely it is to stick.

    When I became vegan I was a slut for KFC burgers, and I “failed” a few times, but I just kept reminding myself it’s not good for anyone, and mustered up the will power to drive past, and eat at home instead.
