Especially since the US Marshalls murdered Michael Reinoehl in Washington state, who was an Antifa activist alleged to have killed a far-right protester, during Trump’s first term.

Well, it comes down to a difference in processor architecture. There is a big difference between ARM and x86/64 processors. ARM is mostly used in mobile devices like phones/tablets and x86/64 is typically laptops/desktops. If a game (or program) is going to be released on a certain platform, then it needs to be specifically created using that platform’s architecture. That’s why your laptop doesn’t run Android/iOS apps and why Windows/Mac programs and games don’t work for Android/iOS. A developer has to make their game for that specific computing architecture. Think of it like trying to insert a bluray into a dvd player, sure they are both movie formats, but the format themselves are targeted for a specific device (in this case dvd players vs bluray players).

Emulation is quite robust on Android via multiple emulators for various consoles. However, what you’re asking is full virtualization of an operating system (Windows 10 or higher in this case) which just isn’t viable on an Android tablet due to it being an ARM processor device, and many tablets being relatively low-spec. You need a fair amount of horsepower to run an OS on a VM at a decent speed. Even on a desktop computer or laptop playing games ends up being slower due to not accessing the video card directly (I believe, don’t quote me, but it is slower generally especially for more graphic intensive games). Here is a thread on Reddit where someone asked the same question which provides some more thorough answers than what I just wrote: https://red.ngn.tf/r/virtualization/comments/l84esp/how_to_run_windows_10_on_a_virtual_machine_on/. Your best bet in this case is using some type of game streaming service that has an Android client and Disco Elysium on their catalog, otherwise there isn’t a chance that you’ll be able to accomplish this.

That’s great to hear! Yeah, the best thing to do is to try and recognize the things and times that make you want to drink and be cognizant at seeing the signs of urges before they turn to actually picking the drink up. If you’ve never looked into them, I’d highly recommend Smart Recovery (smartrecovery.org), it’s a great program and has a lot of excellent strategies in their toolkit online for coping with and combating urges. Keep up the excellent work ;)

There’s a book I just learned of from the Rev Left podcast called: “Lenin’s Electoral Strategy from Marx and Engels through the Revolution of 1905: The Ballot, the Streets - or Both” by August Nimtz, that you might be interested in. It discusses Lenin’s feelings on parlimentarianism, I haven’t got a chance to read through it yet, but it sounds like it addresses the same concerns you’re stating.

Here’s the preface: http://www2.hhh.umn.edu/uthinkcache/gpa/globalnotes/Nimtz - Lenin-Preface Vol. 1.pdf

And here’s a link to the book itself:https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1385-the-ballot-the-streets-or-both

I don’t know the policy here on ‘high seas’ material, but I can PM you a link to a digital copy if you want ;)

Right now, I’d say the biggest beneficial thing you can do is just experiment. Pick a few things that look interesting and find some beginner resources to dip your toes in. It’s important not to over-analyze and be too critical of these new pursuits in the beginning. My problem was, quite frequently, I’d talk myself out of something before I really explored it to even decide with confidence if it really was for me or not.

Allow yourself to just go with an idea without judgement. Reserve your criticism for later when you have enough information to make a informed decision on if it is for you. Although, be aware that there are times when you can intuit your interest and desire based off of how it makes you feel early on, just don’t be so quick to pivor away because sometimes it’s just the learning curve of trying something new, and when you power through the initial discomfirt you find that you DO like whatever it is.

Bottom line: don’t feel as if you need to rush. With some exploring and experimentation you’ll find something that really resonates with you. For me that was writing and it’s been incredibly refreshing.

Good luck, comrade ;)

Thanks! It’s been a long road, but I am in a much better place now. Time to get back to supporting my fellow comrades!

I’d love an invite, username is kvasirofthewoods

Fantastic choice my friend! I just discovered the NA stuff as well too. Never tried it until a few days ago and I must say it is great to have since I had been missing the taste of beer since there isn’t anything that tastes like it. Anyway, good to see you here, sorry I’ve been incommunicado here on /c/sobriety , been a busy month, but I definitely aim to be on here a bit more and try to grow our humble little nook. Welcome to the sub ;)

Doing good myself. On Thursday I’ll have 2 weeks again. Should be over two months before my relapse but I’m letting that go, moving forward and staying positive. I’m not going to let anything hold me back, not even a relapse. In the past I’d have juat said screw it, but I know that as long as I keep my head straight I don’t have to let mistakes drag me back down.

Anyways, hope you guys are doing good, stay strong out there comrades <3

Excellent! Keep on keeping on :D

I’m doing pretty good myself. I’m on day 5 now after my relapse but I’m chugging right along. At a doctor’s appointment now and busy thinking about how to tackle the rest of the week. Feel a lot better about things then I did last week, so that’s good. Looking forward to the future and what that looks like. Hope everyone else out there is doing good.

Exactly. I’m so happy to be feeling a bit better and have some positivity back. This morning was rough and depressing. I’m out of the hospital now though and going to a meeting with my sponsor later on today. Thanks for the kind words <3

Thank you for that. I’ll keep it in mind. Yeah, I’m just going to right the ship and be more vigilant to possible triggers. Also work more closely with my sponsor and make it to more meetings. I appreciate all the love and support from everyone, it means a lot.

Great job! A year is big news. I get you on the ups and downs of self-esteem. Sometimes life just throws you curveball after curveball and it gets tough not to get down on yourself. Keep swinging for the fences, all we can do. I pray your job earch bears plentiful fruit soon <3

I feel you. It’s soul-draining to work as a pleb grinding away and under the geara of capitalism. My advice is to find your passion, what makes you tick. For me it was returning back to nature, reading and getting creative. Alcohol has a tendecy to get in the way of those pursuits, at least it did for me.

I would try and change up your routine (it’s not easy) to find something that really makes you happy. It wont necessarily happen overnight but when you find a genuine love than it’ll be worth the effort you put in in spades. I wish you the best and feel free to PM me if you ever need to talk to someone. We’re here for you comrade <3

That’s amazing! I’m nearing day 30 myself. It really keeps getting better day after day. I actually found a fullbox of wine while cleaning trash up at the beach and had no compunction to want to drink it whatsoever, I knew my cravings were gone but it was joyous to see it illustrated so strikingly.

You’re absolutely right about activity keeping you focused. I’ve been at it with whatever form of social/community action I can take and it has been a boon to my ongoing sobriety. To know that I can be there for others when they need me and be a positive influence on their lives is tremendously uplifting. Keep up the great work, comrade!

For myself, things just keep getting better each and every day. I feel immense gratitude at not craving or desiring a drink whatsoever. I feel incredibly clear-headed and like myself for the first time in years. Alcohol really drained me of my passion and siphoned the joy from my soul. I’m meeting so many new and wonderful people, both in AA and out of it. It really is amazing to finally be able to connect with others.

Not everything is always sunshine and roses though. I have my moments. I still miss my fiance a lot and still cry at least a time or two everyday. But it is much more manageable than when I was drinking. There’s also the issue of being around or exposed to repulsive ideas and personalities. This morning I went to what I thought was an AA meeting, but it was really just a evangelical Christian early morning bible group and I was smacked in the face with transphobia and homophobia, as well as “remember to vote, it matters, for those that need help we made a ‘cheat sheet’ with conservative candidates to vote for.”

I noped out of there right then. It’s a blunt reminder of that these people are in the midst of us, intolerant, ignorant and mobilized against our fellow brothers and sisters. It made me sad, but I was also emboldened by the fact that I know that my fight has just begun anew and now I have tye clear head to face it head on

Stay strong fellow comrades, we got this! 😊

Thank you. Absolutely. It is a scourge akin to the scourge of Capitalism, in fact exacerbated by the chains of the system and the despair it incurs to our fellow working class men and women. I’m blessed to have made it out, I can only hope to help our other brothers and sisters as well.
