Oof. Thanks for mentioning this.

Just picked up Terraria and I'm loving it. I played Starbound a while back and read that it was more or less a spiritual successor to Terraria. Terraria has all the things I wanted to see from Starbound. The crafting system is so expansive. The difficulty is real though, I travelled through 2 biomes and hit something with large beetles and cave worms that chomped me to death. Zombies, floating eyes, and slimes were no problem. Same for the mobs in the desert, easy...but once I hit that 3rd biome I was in trouble, even with my metal armor.

I'm 33 and learned about PC gaming mostly from my grandfather when I was about 10. He had games like Jazz Jackrabbit, Jill of the Jungle, and other early era Sierra games. He also introduced me to Nethack for which I am eternally grateful! He continued playing games and using 3d rendering software until he lost his eyesight in his late 60s, and even then used a screen reader to use a computer for some other things. I think any cutoff age is going to be largely dependent on what social circles you're discussing and what area you're in.

Not really shocked to read the reaction in these comments.

People always get irate when someone points out that language they've been using for a long time is actually inherently problematic and perform all kinds of mental gymnastics to avoid admitting it.

This makes me so happy. I've been wanting to start a project to scrape fandom for a while so I can just have the info without accessing their godawful website. Any time I need info on something in a game I get hit with 5 results from fandom and some half-related articles in the search results.

That is way less common than you seem to think it is. Most online payments are fairly secure.

Yes of course you are.

Gonna be honest it's kinda weird to me as someone who did just move over that there's a bunch of posts from people who just found the Fediverse claiming it as home while there's people who have been here since it's creation. It's got the implication that this was created as some sort of next jump from Reddit which doesn't really seem to be the case from my perspective.

Rock...and...STONE!

I think those are honestly fair points, and I don't see it changing in the mainstream either. That doesn't mean that we can't approach the situation with respect and understand that we can describe games using different terminology, even if it's a little more difficult to do so.

Same honestly, pretty eye opening to how we just flat out miss things like that. I also always loved touting the genre as my favorite. Communication like this is pretty important because it's a reminder that things which seem innocent could actually be an issue to others.

I haven't really found anything else that touches on it either, but I do still understand the point. The idea that no one else went on record discussing it doesn't make it a non-issue though.

Any links to things you can do with that JSON file? I don't really know Java but it'd be cool to mess around with it in Python some. Searching "reddit python JSON" is obviously not very helpful.

Love the OG Ogre Battle. I played that game like crazy. I always appreciated how you could revisit locations for loot and battles.

I'm gonna agree that the first two are more or less forgotten/less discussed than the newer games.

I'm interested, because I'm having the opposite experience. I can not for the life of me get my HP network printer to work with Debian. I've added it through CUPS, and it works well for a bit, but then after a few restarts I have to add it again.

That's it lads! Rock and Stone!

I just recently did this and I'm experiencing issues with the download manager. I already ticked 'external download manager' but it had no effect.

Ah...I was under the assumption that I did, but probably not honestly. Either way, I shouldn't really have to use one. The download manager for Firefox should just work.

+1 for Solasta. I was playing it on Xbox with friends and loved it. There's also the option for user made adventures I believe, which opens up so many possibilities.

That's unfortunate, I was honestly looking forward.to this

Apple in the US is more or less a status symbol too for people who aren't tech savvy. They just know it costs more than other things, so they assume it must be better.

Wooorrrkkiiinngg. I work weekend shift as a warehouse supervisor. Pretty much live there for three days but then I've got four days off.

I bought Terraria a few months ago while I was buying some other games on sale and it's legit all I've been playing. I absolutely love this game for the depth of he crafting system and the cosmic horror themed bosses and setting. Really just the whole thing is so well crafted.

The Long Dark

First of all skibidi toilet is amazing art.

I think you bring up a pretty important point about federation in that it allows for and even encourages expansion in some ways, so that's a good way to keep optimistic about it. I guess I just feel a little embarrassed. Especially when you look at posts like the recent one asking Lemmy users how they feel about the reddit refugees, and it's flooded with responses from Reddit refugees instead offering unsolicited feedback about design choices. Then you have threads like this with people laying claim to the fediverse more or less. It just feels like some kind of a Christopher Columbus situation. While I realize that might be a little tone-deaf it's the best analogy I have for it.

the edit makes it even better lmao Rock and stone to the BONE!

negative lol

Young me : because egg

This is sea of thieves for me. I had a friend who was obsessed with it, but you're basically required to dump multiple hours in to complete anything and even then .. You could get your ship sunk and lose it all. It's incredibly frustrating.

I saw it sort of mentioned, but I think niche shitposting communities like the various okbuddy subs.

QUIT POKING ME

I'm currently an operations supervisor in a regional distribution center. I started out on the floor, promoted up through the training program available, and now work in the shipping department. I honestly enjoy most parts of my job, particularly helping to problem solve in time critical situations. I did work in a more support related function before promoting, and I honestly preferred the workflow there. Operations can be kind of intense, and requires me to focus a lot more on the "accountability" piece of things than I would rather do sometimes. We recently got a new general manager whose focus is most definitely more on securing profits than managing retention and employee engagement, so you can guess what the main pressure on me generally is from my direct supervisors. Production, production, and more production. On top of that we have a slew of admin tasks stacked up weekly. We're required to complete coaching sessions, audits, performance reviews, checks for missing product to reduce shrink, etc. All in all, I had a pretty good idea of what I was signing up for before I did it, but I really don't feel like we get paid enough for what we do. I also genuinely feel like the associates don't get paid enough for what we're asking of them, but that isn't necessarily something I can truly fight for being new in my role. On the plus side I only work three days a week, though they're roughly 14 hour days. Then I have the whole rest of the week off!
