imagine continuing to play games on a computer because you're afraid of being worse at them if you use a purpose-built machine. what a statement on man's folly! o fortune, o sea, deliver us from our hubris and our peril!

I just spent 20 minutes swearing at this.

tips that got me through:

* you have to boost at just around the halfway point
* you have to release the boost with a directional input, or you will end up about a ball-length too low

nothing i trust more than people who show that haven't used it in twenty years by whining about problems that don't exist. the only linux suspend "problems" in a really long time are new, caused by hardware decisions, and affect users across platforms. i.e. computers that wake constantly to try to phone microsoft

this whole convo started by you morons praising linux suspend on the steamdeck

most people can't get they're haeds past rendering stuff the rodtronics way and yet you spend time doing it

yeah don't think about how you skateboard on a half pipe because it's a completely artificial mechanic that only vaguely relates to physics. there's a sweet spot in which you boost, you just have to find it and hit it repeatedly
