I have a little bit of schadenfreude at the PS fan club moaning about exclusives, since their whole system is built around exclusives.

But in the end the point stands, exclusives (from anyone) are bad for consumers.

No that's the problem, he was an idiot with a single account.

Surely the oil and energy companies have their own investments into renewables. I can't imagine why Rs would die on this hill except for their little culture war.

I FELL TO MY KNEES IN THE BASS PRO SHOP PARKING LOT!

Not to mention those old fridges are Horribly inefficient on energy

I'm glad we have strong GDP growth but:

how does the average man paying 1500 for a basic apartment in a po'dunk town feel this

I don't own a printer because the cost to constantly refill cartrages feels like a subscription already. I just go to the UPS store for the 3 times a year I actually need to print something, on a for-realsies printer that someone else maintains. usually costs less than a dollar every time I go.

Reddit is large enough that it's user base is very diverse and niche hobbies can still get a substantial following. From what I can tell, us lemmings are all kinda the same nerdy person who's into Linux and gaming with not enough of us to really make communities for divergent interests.

When I first came in a few people were trying to get /c/bjj going but it just kind of fell off because the middle of a venn diagram of people who are nerdy enough to be here and also into grappling is like me and 6 other people

Still, I peek in here now and again because the shitposts tend to be better.

I think it's more flexible than you think. In my single 20s I was a night owl because I stayed up late playing video games and got satisfaction out of that. Now in my 40s I'm up at 5am because that's when my family is still asleep and no one needs me for anything, and that's a nice if not rare feeling.

I'm old enough to remember when discovery showed space stuff like, all the time. It was great!

It really changed in the 90s when congress pulled public funding for educational TV

So, I'm not sure if skyrim is right for this because it's had a certain modding community built up, and for whatever reason, corporate execs seem to love burning down organic communities with no idea of the damage they're doing.

However, if a game was built from day 1 to have support for paid mods, I'd probably consider making assets for mods as a side gig, as would a lot of people who work in tech or are budding game developers, because its far less of a commitment than making a full game.

The closest things that do this currently are roblox, which does everything in it's power to prevent you from withdrawing money from it, and second life, which is near dead and only still going because of furies and perverts.

If a true platform-esque game, like Skyrim or Arma, were to come along with a shop that would let you do things like build a dungeon and charge a dollar for it, that would suddenly look attractive to a lot of people to get involved.

Relevant Mr lovenstein

For me personally growing up, everyone just steamed them into a wet tasteless mush. This is not the way. Almost all of them are good sauted or baked, even brussel sprouts with a bit of salt and a dash of oil

From what I noticed working tech, there is a pressure to be on the cutting edge at all costs and a lot of stuff gets over hyped to sell things to MBAs. I've seen a few disruptive technologies come in. They are almost never wrong about what the thing is or will be, but they are almost always wrong about the timeline it comes into being in a really mature way.

I liked the first one alright but I remember it being a bit easy, and putting it down for rim world, a much more challenging game in the same vein. Guess I'll wait and see on this one.

1st is planned murder

2nd is a non planned heat of the moment kind of murder

3rd is you do some criminally wreckless crap and accidentally kill someone

manslaughter is any other kind of accidentally killing someone

For me, reddit killed hobby forums. I'm hoping lemmy can take it's place. I'm partular I'm looking for computer networking and infrastucture, and Judo/BJJ

amazing to me that open source games usually sputter out quickly, yet communities will dissemble, reassemble and polish and finish games from established IPs

I mean... that's not a very high bar

Do you feel like engaging it? Good... good...

I don't blame him, my wife, my mom and my gran are all there and like to see pictures

eh, It would look like more of a shakedown if it was just the US doing it, but tiktok is getting banned all over the place, particularly for government devices.

Oh but it's not though right? I'm not big into that space but there are professional VR headsets that costs several thousands of dollars, like apples, but still lead it in tech, which to me seem to leave apple's device in this weird cost middle ground between professional headsets like varjo and consumer headsets like oculus.

I don't think it's this "all rich jerks own commercial real estate" thing that everyone going on about. I get the feeling it's more about the managerial/director types. The ones who are maybe well off but maybe not quite rich. My director owns a 150,000 tesla, but I don't think he's near well off enough to own an office building.

Anyway, at a certain level and upwards, all you do is meet and talk to people all day. They value face to face communication because that's a more effective meeting, and builds more rapport with the members.

When are you far left communists gonna admit that we shouldn't be teaching children how to "make prison hooch"?

When are you extreme anarchists going to fess up that we shouldn't be melting the elderly?

When are all you far leftists gonna admit to things you already probably agree with?

dear god, burn her at the stake

I dunno maybe the point I'm making is I am seeing this everywhere right now and it feels like small potatoes

I mean, it's per personal life, who the fuck cares? She's a shitty representative for all kinds of reasons just based on what she does in congress. This all feels very "gotcha"-ish, as if in some congressional office some democratic staffer was just giddy about releasing this to the public. Maybe I'm burnt out on it all but I have no appetite for this kind of politics anymore.
