that’s a very grim way of looking at goodness. Of course doing things you believe are making a positive change makes you feel good, of course helping your community makes you feel good, and it does feel nice to be recognised and known as a good person.

It’s a strange ambient idea in our society, that to be truly good you must suffer, and never find joy in the good things you do. Not to turn conspiratorial, but to me it sounds like a cope from actually selfish people who look at people who do nice things and think to themselves “they’re only doing it to be popular and feel good about themselves, why else would anyone do anything”

once you stop seeing ESO as an Elder Scrolls game, and instead look at it as an MMO set in the world of the Elder Scrolls - it gets really fun

even for lore fanatics who don’t see ESO as canon it can still be fun to run around areas we haven’t seen since Arena! Sure, it probably won’t look like the real thing once we get TES: Elsweyr or TES: Black Marsh, but it’s the best we’ve got right now, and with the current lighting fast development of TES series a lot of us won’t live to play those games

subscription is mostly useful for infinite resources bag space, and free non-recent dlc access too i guess

and most content is indeed soloable, only time you need to interact with people is in some DLC dungeon and some veteran dungeons, and mostly just to listen to/explain boss rules so you don’t die every 10 seconds

it’s absolutely fantastic, my friends and i joined a steam family and they finally have 0 excuses to not play the games i’ve been recommending them for year (and neither do i)

Well i’m very happy for you and for them, but my 76 year old Polish grandmother - who got her first mobile phone at the age of 60ish, probably doesn’t even know what image quality is, definitely doesn’t know the difference between android and iOS, and has recently called me panicked to ask why all her photos were on Facebook, they weren’t, she was looking at her gallery preview through the Facebook app - is not going to be very enthusiastic about learning to use an app only her grandson uses.

so I’ll just stick to messenger

if someone is like, half of the described vampire i don’t mind. Honestly it feels strange to have our ancient way of finding things out (asking your friends if they know) be somehow seen as wrong nowadays. I want to learn from other human being, not disembodied pieces of information oftentimes tied to ads for driver updating software

call me a normie but I do like having contact with my family. And though I’d love to move somewhere where my privacy is respected - there’s no point in using a messaging app if you’re the only one there

and no I can’t convince my 76 year old grandma to move to signal, she barely wrapped her head around Facebook

don’t forget psychadelics had the same fate! made illegal becuase they had “corrosive effects on cultural values” (had to put hippies in jail for being too peaceful)

with that camera lense it better be capybaras that are about to fuck or the camerman’s getting mauled

“Molly” is a common nickname of the drug Ecstasy (MDMA)

“time for molly” kind of implies you’re off to get high

at least welsh and polish actually read the letters that we write down, unlike some languages

I’ll take 8pm vacuuming over 8am vacuuming any day

istg i have to write those words into every reply i give. Do people even read the words i write? Can they read? Should i give up?

😔 whack

fuck it’s so hard to resist the urge to mimic (though probably poorly) the writing style of the book i’m currently reading shakes fist at neuroplasticity

can i see a flowchart of that please? it’s 4am

but forgot a button hole, we can still fight them, though the battles are getting harder

is occasionally going feral and unhinged still something that proves i’m a human on the Internet? or has my job been taken again? :(

Well yea it’s the same thing to me. The built in browser adblocker is great but never fast enough to block google’s (and especially youtube’s) bullshit attempts at trying to shove ads into our faces
