It's really not. It's just getting started. The worst predictions, of 4-6 degrees of warming, are more or less off the table. Current trajectory is ~3 degrees of warming which... is civilisationally devastating admittedly, but we have pathways to reduce that. Even the 1.5c target isn't over yet.
There is a broad range of potential future climates, and this generation decides which one we end up with. It's not over by a long shot.
From your other replies it seems like you're unsure you want kids in any case, but if you do there's a simple thought experiment here: do you wish your father hadn't had you? If not, it's reasonable to think your children would be just as grateful to be alive as you are, sick dad or not.
The current steam deck isn't going to be obsolete just because a newer model comes out. I'm happily playing through the new System Shock right now, and there's a gazillion things in my steam library that I can install and run any time I like.
At some point there will be a faster, better deck, but this one is going to do me for a while. It is, in that sense, like a gaming PC. The lifetime of it isn't determined by the manufacturer in the same way, because you can choose when it's worth paying more for a better experience.
Like a gaming PC the first question you need to ask is "what's my budget", and the second "what would I like to be able to play". When you have those answered, you can decide whether the current sale price offers value for money. There is always going to be more power available for a higher price.
Write down on a bit of paper "I want to spend more time with my son, I can always find another job", then flip it over and write "I'm going to spend my time on work, I can always have another kid" and see how you feel.
Agreed on all points! It turns out Lemmy has a mechanism for federating block lists. What will be interesting is when instances disagree about bans. If you get banned from an instance because - hypothetically - you disagree with the actions of one government or another, it's not obvious to me that other instances should repeat the ban.
Will we end up with islands of trust?

I think they meant they've seen one Russian troll on Lemmy already, not that skidface is a Russian troll.
I ... Have to assume so, anyway

It's a hypnic jerk.
They'd no single agreed on cause, but they happen during the transition from wakefulness to sleep.
I saw someone use "Lemmurs" the other day and I'm sticking with that pending a better idea.
Usually Indies, a lot of slay the spire recently, but I've just started Street Fighter VI.
Tempted by System Shock next cos I never played the original.
Mostly, it's the must-have Indie darlings, with a sprinkling of AAA fodder.
I've loved:
I've found that I enjoy playing offbeat adventure games on the deck more than I did sat at a PC. Detention, Norco, Loretta, To The Moon, that sort of thing is perfect for playing in bed, propped against the pillows.
I'm personally a huge fan of project zomboid, though I had to tweak the controls a little to make it work well.
I'm sure Stardew Valley is a perfect match for the deck, but I've played it too much already.
