It's not that I'm this big philosopher and you people are missing out or I'm on FBI's most wanted, but I don't want to think about it that much. I want to feel free enough to get as personal as possible/endurable without somebody in my personal life being able to map this account to me, neither person or government. I always imagine some coworker I'm not that comfortable with, knowing all those very personal things about me that I wouldn't want them to know.
I'm in this weird limbo using this account. I'd like to post more, especially about opinions, thoughts, personal struggles and so on, that I usually don't talk about that much openly. Every time I want to though, I think about each post making it easier to personally identify me in the long run. I don't want all these sometimes personal things I post, suddenly being matched with my person. Maybe I'm just too paranoid, but things like mentioning your birthday and home country can add up.

Review of "The Time Traveler's Wife By Audrey Niffenegger" (4 stars): Surprisingly good story that's not too corny
Review of "The Circle" (1 star): Don't read it, it's probably worse than the movie
Review of "Die Ermordung des Commendatore 02" (5 stars): Don't trust my judgement on this, I like Murakami books too much
I fell victim to the workification of games: I'm playing No Man's Sky (again).
I feel stupid doing virtual tasks, just so I can buy virtual goods, to have a bigger and better virtual vehicle, all after coming home from my real job, but not living that kind of materialistic lifestyle. I guess I'm just compensating? 🤔
The game got better by a lot since release tho 🙃
Review of "Die Ermordung des Commendatore Band 1" (4 stars): Just another Murakami (in a good way)
🇺🇦, itch.io bundle

There are famous games like Celeste, Bleed, Minit, Baba is you, Superhot, 2064: Read Only Memories, Night Call, Bury me my love, Cook Serve Delicious 2, Towerfall Ascension...
And tons of other good games (not necessarily as famous), and not just games (though it's 60% video games and 30% tabletop RPG games)
Unless you don't like the cause, it's a very good deal
@stux Hey, did you figure out my wallet problem on creapaid? koyu.space had an issue with data loss, as you might have heard, so I don't know if you got back to me about anything 😅 My wallet is still empty though
Review of "Metro 2035: Roman" (3 stars): Better than Metro 2034, worse than Metro 2033 https://bookwyrm.social/user/burgess/review/84104
Is somebody here using Fedora or OpenSUSE? How are they, compared to Arch(+EndeavourOS, Manjaro) and Debian derivatives like Ubuntu, Mint and so on? I love the AUR (been using it for years now), but I'd like something more stable that I don't have to tinker with. I'm annoyed by apt and the amount of important packages and programs it is missing but I don't like having to fix something every now and again after an update. Especially on a computer that is used for work.
Review of "<a href='/book/184298'>Average is Over</a>" (2 stars): Not even average in my opinion https://bookwyrm.social/user/burgess/review/81894
Review of "Embrace your weird : face your fears and unleash creativity" (3 stars): Am I out of touch? Am I getting old and grumpy? 😱 https://bookwyrm.social/user/burgess/review/70640
How would you really define yourself? Political ideas, hobbies, your job, what you consume, not consume and so on only get you so far. Do they even define you as a person? What does it mean to be you?
My personal quest:
“To leave the world a bit better [...]; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - that is to have succeeded”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
These interests don't define me, but my brain seems to enjoy investing time in them:
- Programming (Python, BASH, Java, Clojure)
- Bouldering, Yoga, Cycling
- Reading (See https://bookwyrm.social/user/burgess)
- Philosophy, Design
- FOSS, GNU/Linux, Privacy
