Here’s what I believe are the top considerations:
See which instances are blocked just add /instances to the end of the site. Like: lemm.ee/instances or sopuli.xyz/instances
Check out the “all” for the instance of that’s important to you. Each all is different depending on your instance (it’s based on what other users on the instance are doing).
I’m going to flip to PieFed since Voyager now has started beta support. I’ll be on piefed.social
I just don’t want to go yet…
Text around see who else is home and bored. Time to not be at home.
If that fails, scroll scroll scroll then maybe some gaming (marvel rivals and death stranding right now)
I have experienced this where I work. There is a consulting company that gets rolled out to make packets full of “data”, graphs, summaries, and surveys that always manages to support the unpopular thing the boss wants.
I have lucid dreams and I get excited when it happens and make some fun decisions. “Oh, this is a dream. Sweet, I’m gonna go do [X] now.” I always remember don’t try flying, because it was scary when I tried and jolted me out of the dream.
But here’s the thing. Once I’m awake, as I think about it, it seems like I did exactly what I wanted to do, but I realize that there’s absolutely no way of knowing whether I genuinely had control or just dreamed that I had control and made those choices. But in the end I did have control and made those choices because it’s my brain, right? And I feel like I did; it’s more like a memory than a dream. But following the same line, I could question reality.
Anyway, I’m currently cynical and think nobody actually controls their dreams, they only wake up thinking they did.
Amazing as always. I have no intention of getting switch 2 ($$$ and we have a steam deck) but the new James Bond game trailer is making it tough.
I wanted to share my home screen; thought you might appreciate it. I stole one of those pixel art cityscapes you shared and might put it to use:
The message cycles Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Night, Good Lord (for when I really should be asleep).
On a road trip driving/exploring the coast right now, so I’m not getting any gaming in. I hope that cabin provides some peace and relaxation for you!
He’s also shit all over Grok
Which was the more important point.
If the microscopic particle subject to superposition was the catalyst for the cat’s death, then too isn’t the cat’s fate in both realities?
Of course he was being intentionally absurd
This is fantastic and good advice, but I also remember them in great numbers 20+ years ago, and people were mowing their lawns then, too.
Sweet little murder beasts
But see, you forgot to spend a billion dollars marketing it. That was where you messed up.
Even funnier, I told my kids it was the most expensive video game and they said, “oh because of Chris Pratt?”
Apparently the ads all featured Chris Pratt.
Sorry to make this seem even worse, this isn’t even what you think it is. Not a Niantic gps game.
It’s literally like any other mobile board game. You hit the dice roll button and the piece bounces around the board and your cash goes up. That’s about it. It’s interactive because sometimes where you land takes money away from other players (those you have friended or randos)
There is nothing novel here.
source: my children forced me to play with them when it was super trendy. All of their friends (and their friends parents) were playing. So. Many. Popups. It was CONSTANTLY trying to get you to spend. We did not, but know people who poured money in to keep the dice rolling
edit: also thank you for this, I always like my kids to be aware of why they or their friends are doing something. They’re hyper aware of trends and marketing (but also don’t want to be left behind when their friends are doing something new).
Ohhhh, I had no idea why I had that game
The gaming magazines were fun and all, but your posts take me days to get through because you really sell me on wanting to deep dive into everything, and you even provide links to exacerbate the situation!
Very nice work. These posts are genuinely my favorite thing I look forward to on Lemmy.
I finally started death stranding! I got goosebumps the first time I was out on a mission and the camera backed away letting you just experience the scenery and music. And then so scary when, you know, it’s scary. Great at setting the mood. It’s beautiful
Santa’s Red suit was a staple, at least in American advertising, for decades before coca cola did it
She’s executive producer on the show, and even if she wasn’t, she gets royalties on her ip in whatever fashion it is used. She is going to make a boatload off the show. And she donates her earnings into anti-trans organizations.
Before Rowling went full nut job, she even approved the idea of black Hermione
Does she like an “assist” type role in games rather than lead? Or the communication? Or different people with different jobs?
