Absolutely. The abrupt change from loud to quiet certainly does it a lot. Maybe the reason I got the feeling when watching the clip from Breath of the Wild I linked was because I had been watching (and hearing) the whole process of the player climbing the cliff-face, from the ground up to that point of the cliff. It wasn't loud, but there was the constant rustling sound of the main character, Link, climbing the cliff-face, until he suddenly stopped. That combined with the beauty of the view he stopped to take a look at produced that really strong, calm feeling.

Maybe. But from the definition, it doesn't really sound like what I'm experiencing, since I wasn't necessarily experiencing any agitation of mind or spirit immediately prior to the feeling.
I like your uncle. He sounds like a wise guy.
Doesn't contemplation usually involve thinking carefully about something though? I don't need to think about anything to get this feeling, I just get it by "taking in" my environment.
That is outright neglect. That level of strictness is just ridiculous. If they really wanted you to sit and listen, and take the sermon seriously, you certainly can't do that while sitting on a turd, while also having the attention span and understanding of a six-year-old.
I wasn’t aware that odysse was originally a crypto video sharing platform, I thought it operated more like YouTube.
Hey mate, It's not exactly a crypto video sharing platform, but it does incorporate crypto in how it operates. Odysee isn't the blockchain itself, it's a website frontend for the blockchain, which has previously always been the LBRY network. How it works is that you would receive small amounts of LBC (LBRY coins) for watching some content. You can than use the earned currency to upload videos and articles onto the platform, and it can be boosted by other peoples channel donations to support individual content creators, which are optionally either more LBC or using traditional fiat currency if you so choose. I know it's very easy to upload stuff because I have my own channel, you practically aren't even paying for it since you can upload a video for as little at 0.0001 LBC. My understanding is that they're moving away from LBRY and towards Arweave, though I've not looked at the FAQ yet (linked below). If you check their channel, they posted more a lot of info at the same time as this video. The Odysee community has been waiting for details on an announced update for a few weeks.
Yeah, I'm on Linux too, and you're right that GOG isn't as convenient as Steam on Linux, but you don't have to mess around with bottles to get them working. Heroic Games Launcher is excellent and has Wine and Proton built in, so installing GOG games and playing them through that is almost as convenient as playing through Steam on Linux.
I find that compared to Steam, I have to tinker slightly more often than Steam to get them working; otherwise, most games install and play perfectly just like on Steam. There's an official GOG client called GOG Galaxy, but it's only on Windows and Mac, so third-party launchers like Heroic are the best options on Linux. Plus, somewhat recently GOG officially partnered with Heroic Games Launcher which improved the compatibility quite a bit. There's no achievement support in Heroic yet, but they are working on the feature for it, as far as I'm aware.
I can't remember where the option is, but you can also add the GOG games from your library in Heroic to Steam as a non-steam game.
As for sales, like I was saying before, the sales across GOG and Steam seem to be very similar to each other, having the same price cuts at the same time as each other.
One thing to be weary of when buying games from GOG on Linux is when you buy games that are playable online, such as No Man's Sky and Divinity: Original Sin II. These games rely on GOG Galaxy to connect you online, which currently isn't functional on Heroic Launcher (but may get support in the future). One other thing to note is that occasionally I've noticed that a game publisher releases an official Linux port on Steam, but ignores it on GOG. I was disappointment when this happened to me. I bought the whole Metro series in a bundle from GOG, but I only found out afterwards, that on Steam their are actually official Linux ports for the whole trilogy. I use ProtonDB to quickly check which Steam games have Linux ports
Hasn't this been how they've marketed since about 2017 now? They just seem to be pushing more and more with this style each passing year.
Wow, Microsoft really won't stop repeatedly doubling down on their bedrock marketplace advertising. They're like YouTube who can never get enough of it and always want more.
Yeah, I did have that problem in the past with the comment data being demolished if I transferred the files with said comments onto my NTFS formatted external hard drive, though strangely, I'm still able to manually write a new comment on those files after the transfer.
In other words, what I find is that transferring a file with a comment from one ext4 drive to another ext4 drive retains the comment data, but transferring it from one ext4 drive to an NTFS drive deletes it, though it still allows me to rewrite a replacement comment regardless.
I've solved my issue by installing Dolphin, which allows me to see the comments now, and updated my post.
Thanks so much for all the suggestions. I couldn't figure out how to use the command because it was giving me errors (which is probably just something I did wrong). But I'll try to figure that out for the sake of learning.
What did work for me, was downloading Dolphin (it looks so messes up in Cosmic though, lol) and the comments are absolutely there, thank God! So now I can recover them and I think I'm going to try to find an alternative solution for making these records that works easily across distros (because I don't plan to stick with Pop! forever)
Interesting. I'll try and remember to look them up. Thanks.
