Its sorta funny and cathartic reading your comment. I’m not a dad, but I did just get a house with a yard. Lately yardwork, which is something I HATED as a kid, has become quite a hobby for me too.
I find it hard to play very immersive AAA games nowadays, but I do use my steam deck for short indie games or nostalgia plays of old protable games via emulator. I find if I just keep it charged and near my bed or couch, I’ll reach for it whenever I’d otherwise scroll social media.
I have no clue about the old launcher, but the current launcher allows you to select any version all the way back past alpha. It was a lot of fun to try to hunt down which version I probably first played.
Why not both!
I once pirated Pirates of the Caribbean while on a cruise in the Caribbean. It was absolutely a high point in my life.
Battlebit is a lot of fun, and absolute chaos. But it’s the kinda thing you’ll probably want to switch off of after a few rounds so having minecraft to switch back to is a great balance.
They finally did it?? I was using the thunder-something fork for a while because of that, but I always prefer sticking with the base project if I can.
Honey hasnt found me a coupon in probably over a year. Idk how it didn’t click to me until now that its just more spyware. Theres no way the big corps are just okay with people paying less for evwrything unless they get something else out of it
James and the giant peach was already an all around unsettling movie, but that thunderstorm rhino scared the bejeebes out of me as a kid.
I still play pubg. It’s a total dogshit game and the only players clinging to it are the crazy competative try-hards. BUT I’ve got my 3 buddies that I play with and its a great time because of that. I would never recommend it to anyone playing alone tho
Man thats super awesome. I remember going to parks in the early 2000’s and seeing people flying those things, and they were always the coolest people there. Are there communities for it, or do you mostly just do it for gigs?
Well said, the problem is, I post nothing on instagram. So my presence on pixelfed is not at all a reason for anyone in my circle to join lol. I imagine since we’re all the nerds of our families/friend-groups here, this is probably the case for a lot of us.
On a similar note, they make healies in adult sizes. Got a pair for my 21st as a gag gift, and ended up using them to walk my dog all the time. He’s a lil guy, but hes a dense 15lbs of muscle and he could pretty easily pull me up to that “oh shit” speed.
You know, I don’t think I’ve ever thought about your second point. That’s a pretty great idea!
If this happens again, and youre really insistant on reading that answer, people are saying the wayback machine should have that info for you. It’s sorta a win-win because you still get your answer and reddit doesnt get the revenue from your usage.
My SO also gets a lot of great travel and cooking tips from Tik Tok. She only recently made her reddit account lol. But that is for a medical forum, so also one that I dont expect to transition. Luckily for me, almost everything I used to follow was techy in some way, so I’m not bothered by the difference in content over here.
Just like how no one has ever put anything malicious on Wikipedia. Nope, never, not once
Yeah pretty much. As soon as facebook broke the ice on “never use your real name on the internet” it was over. Now we have entire generations that were introduced to the internet as one that was ruled by social media sites. They were never even taught the same online safety stuff that we grew up with.
I’ve got a lot of faith in good Steamdeck communities making it here because of it’s whole linuxy right-to-repairy nature. I wonder even if well see communities like that surpass reddits’ sooner than others.
I like that perspective! But at the same time, if the user’s are both the producers and the consumers, where does that leave the platform hosters. We gotta pay our tax at somepoint if we wish to have the space to produce and consume.
I’ve always been a wikipedia donator, but with the fediverse its a little bit harder. I don’t ascribe to one community/instance more than any others, but I don’t want to have to figure out how to spread my donation accross all the instances that I interact with. If everyone just donates to where their home account is, does that balance itself out?
Funny that you mentioned 2048 specifically, that one got me on the high way one time. For half a second I thought I could get past traffic if I compressed all the cars in front of me into the right lanes.
