This company sucks. It’s like they throw so many ideas and things at a wall and then never foster or care for any of it. And then they take away the wall so anything that relied on it gets fucked when the app isn’t available or works correctly anymore. And this is CONSTANT!

They deserve each and every loss. Pretty sure the only new developments sticking around are the Google Pixel phones. Who knows, maybe they’ll delete features for the old ones in the future too. Or remove support for their phones entirely and randomly leave.

Sounds like a case where they’ll shut down the entire location and move across the street.

It’s truly disappointing when the good guys want to “fight fair” against quite literally the 1 situation where the founders put a backup plan in case of massive corruption of the system.

I feel like Lemmy is on its way and its main benefit is that it’s not as cynical as Reddit to EACH OTHER.

So many people on reddit gripe about the smallest shit, especially the Steam Deck reddit, that conversations become either you’re with my ideas or you’re against my ideas. Like even though you’re just trying to help others play a game, “I’m insulting you for free because of the way you said lowest fps is 33 with drops down to 29. I don’t think it means what you think it means.” (of course shoving a meme in there because that’s their identity at this point)

I clearly meant average, but oh here comes -20 comment score when I explain that.

I see nicer comment chains from people on opposing political sides here even though I know a usual reaction these days would be to tear at each others’ throats. Lemmy isn’t devoid of it, but Jesus at least it isn’t like how Reddit predictably uses a scalpel on your comments to find something to complain about.

But I think this might be the result of tailoring my experience over time with instances I want to see from and communities. That level of customization is awesome. But it does suck to see so many instance drama things happening in a much more rapid pace than reddit.

I’m just waiting for the new iPhone LongBeachGriffy vid

There’s an important moment where you have to ask yourself…

“Is this story so bad I’m not invested in it anymore?”

“Is the gameplay bothering me so much that it feels bad or unfun to me?”

If the answer is yes to both of those, you may feel free to drop the game with full confidence you’re not gonna play it again.

As someone who recently got hit by a silver Honda in the middle of heavy rain. Look left as many fucking times as you can because there might be an invisible car without headlights on in the rain.

Their app is terrible so I keep to only checking my favorite communities that sadly haven’t moved over at all.

Games that don’t do this: infamous series. The first time on the first one is incredible. But afterwards as a trend, loading the game goes straight to your most recent save with zero menu.

Killzone: Shadowfall. No intros. Straight to the main menu when you boot. Unique and wild every time!

I would say the pursuit and journey for happiness is the sweet spot. It’s why artists and studios jump right back into some of the hardest processes to go through as they try new things on a new project. After finishing their movie or game, that high of achieving all of those things eventually due down and the question of what happens next settles in.

Like climbing a mountain. Sure all the enjoyment is at the top, but once you learn to enjoy the grand scheme of the whole process, there lies happiness. Anything could happen, but it doesn’t quite matter because you’re still inspired and driven to climb your mountain.

Read the update. Looks like an ex was trying to get him cancelled. But I guess a lot of other shit came out.

There’s 3 people working on this game and there’s hundreds of cheaters popping up every other day. It’s a massive load.

Especially when they also have to deal with DDOS attacks as they try to keep their servers alive for so many people too.

It’s 100% warranted and I’m glad they still saved a path for Linux. Even if it’s like, “You must be on the STEAM Kernal” or something, it might unlock a path for other anti-cheat to have some sort of access on Linux as well.

I think the difference here is that we know the interface and trusted developer choices of those apps.

I’m currently using Connect for Lemmy right now and I’m still excited for Sync because I’ve used it for years.

But each update for Connect so far has been extremely good with quite a few features added. It’s also incredibly straightforward to use. So at this point I’m curious how Sync will step into the ring.

Hell, it could have all the same features as Connect, but add previewing with a hold and that’d be an amazing thing for compressing posts. But also Sync can cater to left-handed people like me with its customization.

Just try to find extra ways to extract enjoyment out of the tougher tasks. Turn it into a game AND REWARD yourself for getting through it.

Here’s the thing, you do these things more for self maintenance rather than for it to feel good. Brush your teeth and floss now so they don’t rot when you’re older. And that comes faster than you think. Like I was eating dinner at my neighbor’s house on his 60th birthday and he was dealing with painful root canals. (But my sister had to deal with those in her teens)

Homework SUCKS, but it teaches you discipline for yourself. Doing parts you don’t quite enjoy just to get the job done. Which is insanely important for every single work ethic you do in your future. I know so many 3d artists who are incredible, but have the attention span worse than rats. So they don’t go anywhere and constantly need to be told to stay focused.

A clean room is a clean mind. Having a messy room to wake up to is fine at first. But it can tend to get worse and spread throughout the rest of the house over time and 1 small task each day turns into a mountainous multi-day cleanup. (My mother is a hoarder of projects and stuff. 2 rooms completely unusable in the house and she leaves her tools all over the place without making a habit of putting stuff back. I never know where anything is)

It’s the same for food. You eat the damn vegetables now to get a palette for them or you will suffer obesity by fast food or whatever. Which leads to lack of energy and always feeling fatigued. (Which I’m currently dealing with and only now just got to liking Broccoli. I’m 29)

As someone who decided to only live for things that I actually care about and even made my own job as a 3d animator, maintenance and discipline show up in places you don’t expect and you’ll be thankful you built it up beforehand. The things that make me feel good are my choices in what I work on, the dream that I strive for, and the fact that I carry a sense of quality and discipline at some points to be able to be more ambitious than others because I will carry out tough tasks rather than avoid them even when they don’t make me feel rewarded.

Lastly let’s talk about the schedule. Super important to even have one despite friends being all, “Let’s go out late at night til 4am”. Let’s see their attention span when they’re older. Well the schedule helps you get food in your body that you might forget to do because you’re so focused, or even overly eat. Sleep is incredibly important, but you know something is wrong when you wake up and already feel tired. You may break the schedule to however you want after school, which is really nice, but if you create your own job in art then you’ll have to apply one to yourself or weeks or months will fly by and you’re stuck on the same project without focus.

Also, take notes YOUR way. Forget standardized notes. Just write down whatever helps you remember things in the way you do. School usually forces tests without notes, but all work and even important conversations outside of school is all about taking notes and rereading them. Learn any way you can to enjoy that part! I have my own Discord server for all kinds of notes I take that get categorized. I also have a fast notes page in my phone’s home screen because my memory is just bad. And that’s OK, because I take great notes!

Hello, I am people

I think the most insulting thing is that reddit wants to monetize off of things like YOUR efforts and YOUR content. Stuck it to em’ and made us proud! Nice work! Hope your new community does well.

Except VR! Although awful decision to make games exclusive in an already niche environment
