Not really that impressed with that lineup. Yogscast has some poor curation.

Shovel Knight was responsible for kicking off the second renaissance wave of indie games, as Cave Story was the first wave. It’s quite a bit saddening that they’ve put themselves in this corner.

Okay, let me see your browser history.

And while I’m at it, can I sit in that corner over there and watch you have sex with your wife?

Oh are we getting a little uncomfortable now? May I take a dump while you shower?

Wait, wait! What do you mean you suddenly care about privacy?

I ironically check Reddit and similar places. Basically I look for street-level reviews from people who have actually tried things. I can’t rely on actual reviews on products online because people use the reviews like venting journal entries, always bitching about things that don’t matter. Usually people bitch about shipping time and whatnot, that has nothing to do with the product’s quality.

Probably here. Ask interesting things.

You’re not going to get that on Quora, it’s too cluttered and superfluous to use.

You’re having a conversation in ChatGPT and all of a sudden you’re being bombarded with questions like how swell it’d be to buy something from Amazon or play this shitty-ass app game with MTX.

What a timeline…

Sega being Sega…they haven’t really learned much, haven’t they? Makes me kind of wish sometimes that they’re truly knocked out of the video game industry.

Why are they delisting Kiwami 1 and 2? They’re remakes of the Y1 and Y2. I didn’t know that one.

I’m a music whore.

I am a self-taught vocalist of 19 years going of hobby. I tend to attribute many songs as themes for emotions, people, and all assortment of things.

I wouldn’t say I’m an audiophile though, because I know peak audio quality is 320kbps and CD-quality alone is more than sufficient. I also really care enough to want as clear of a sound as possible.

I am also one of the few that has a hard time tiring out of some songs, even when I’ve listened to them over hundreds of times. Additionally, I am melting in the new experience of new songs I discover or that have been released for the first time.

And I think platforms like Spotify are shit.

The attention has gravitated away from torrenting to streaming. Where, the anti-piracy outfits are more concerned sniping down streaming services. It was almost like they completely forgot torrenting was a thing. But, they have also taken down some big names too during the heydays of torrenting.

What a megalomaniac.

Yeah he’s inspired by a system which country banned it and yet he still wants it?

Or sometimes just find alternatives that suits your needs.

I’m with Tello and I pay $15 a month for 5GB/Unlimited Text-Talk, but it suits my needs. They’re having a cool deal right now for Black Friday where it’s $15 for unlimited data with text/talk for an entire year. The only fees is a few cents for tax.

Retail has toxified any and every holiday experience because every holiday is just “BUY BUY BUY!”

Halloween? “BUY CANDY! JUST BUY IT OH AND BUY CHEAP DECORATIONS AND TAT TOO!” Thanksgiving? “BUY FOOD! BUY LOTS OF FOOD!” X-Mas? “BUY EVERYTHING OR UNLESS YOU’RE A SOULLESS PERSON WHO DOESN’T BUY ANYTHING FOR THOSE YOU LOVE!” Valentine’s Day? “BUY CHOCOLATES! BUY CHEAP TAT!”

And it just cycles through every year. And you get to witness so many idiots that continue falling for the same traps, just by coming into your store every day.

Not really. It’s kinda like asking what will we ever do if something happens in outer space that’ll mean the end of our earth and all of the combined wealth of rich people can do anything to help it (they’ll hoard it all anyways and think they’ll see their money afterwards).

Things that have a beginning, have an end, that’s life in general. You live it. You do what you can in it, try not to be the most worst individual and whatnot. The sad part of it all is not being able to carry over everything you’ve learned and those you’ve known. Then again, it won’t matter at all in the next life you’ll be in because everyone you’ve known is long gone into their next journey wherever and whomever.

But as for the positive legacy? Well, the only way we’ll ever do that is if we’re in positions of power, have all the wealth or born well-known with unmatched charisma. It’s just a damn shame we live in a timeline where all of that is horribly misused and abused.

“I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance,” says Morris, who oversees the experience of over 2.1 million employees. “I call it work-life integration. There are times that your life requires a lot more, and there are times that your work requires a lot more. … I don’t think that’s a bad thing.”

Except the reality is, is that there are managers who will and have asked you to “please work another hour” or “can you just stay a little while?” of which I have been actually asked and I always have turned down. I want to go home, I’ve done your stupid 8-hour shift to please a bunch of dumbasses who don’t give a shit about anything we do unless it’s to complain, I’m leaving.

Way to be tone-deaf.

When Morris is visiting family, for example, her main focus is on them. But if there’s something at work that needs her attention, she won’t wait until she’s back in the office to do so. Work-life integration helps her stay on top of her work duties while still showing up for herself and the people she loves, she says.

I hope your family dies while you’re working so you won’t get to say your ‘goodbye’ to them - just like many have had to when they’re too strapped by work to even see much less, talk to family members. Just like people who can’t spend the holidays with loved ones, because they’re having to be at the store working for last-minute ungrateful shoppers. Or how much time a worker misses their children’s firsts because they gotta put food on the table.

“You might be [at your kid’s] soccer game, but you happen to look at a few emails,” Morris says. Maybe you’re chatting with your boss via text while waiting for an appointment, or tying up a few loose ends at work before you put the kids to bed. That doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a workaholic who lacks boundaries — rather, you find ways to combine your personal and professional duties that work for you, instead of being strict and inflexible with your time.

Nobody does this but you. Nobody. Does. This.

The Hivemind Complexity.

I say that because it is a collective process that exist in a large amount of online communities, Lemmy and the Fediverse being no different. People online are way too used to having thoughts of theirs being parroted. Then comes the constructs of all of these karma systems for people to vote said thoughts of and that creates a level of its own discourse that, people will say or do things for some validity based on that.

And anyone else who comes along that thinks or says different than the seeming majority, are scrutinized, bullied and branded to be moderated.

Everyone is just too used to being around others who agree with them.

For me it is just manipulating your natural beauty. Hollywood conditions nearly all women that they must look attractive or risk losing roles that exist only based on attractiveness. So you see actresses like Kate Beckingsale or Lindsay Lohan doing this for some roles.

It’s different than needing to get rid of loose skin from losing a lot of weight.

Relationship Experiences.

I know for certain that I prefer monogamy because I like the idea of having a sense of belonging to someone exclusively and for us to have a closed-off relationship in which we can enjoy eachother.

I’m only okay with polyamory but its very limited and I don’t think a lot of boundaries would be respected. Someone is going to feel like they want more than they can actually have and it’ll disrupt the entire function of that relationship. I’m quite wary on the idea of being in polyamory relationships for this very reason.

Tim’s strategy seems to be “Whatever Valve drops, we take because we feel Valve is missing out on something BIG! It’ll make US look great!”

And while the sad truth of the matter could very well be a maybe, depending on how the pure-epic userbase are over there towards it, it still pales to everything Steam has been built to be.

Oh are they finally running out of that oil money they’re known for?

If so, good, stop throwing your damn weight around and contaminate whatever you touch.

When I want to quit your game, I mean it.

I do not want to be prompted several times as attempts to keep me in the game when I just want to leave.
