Seriously, I ordered a steam controller right before they were discontinued, and got a refund :(

That’s kinda where I was sitting when I got the dlc. I had played thousands of hours and was moving my way into factorio and satisfactory. I bought biotech bc I loved rimworld, but I’ve not even finished an entire playthrough since.

You could certainly make the argument that reddit / Lemmy and anything similar is social media, but the anonymity means you aren’t seeing or competing with people you know.

Idk, maybe I’m just coping, but I’ve never felt the need to do anything performative for the masses of internet strangers - unlike some friends of mine who studiously document anything fun we do for the ever important task of impressing people on Instagram.

Whenever the negative effects of social media come up, it tends to be about people comparing their “boring” lives with the carefully crafted veneer of other people’s lives they see on social media. That doesn’t happen (as much) when you don’t use your identity and you don’t know anybody else on the platform.

I agree that live games are a problem, and helldivers 1 had an offline option, but Helldiver’s 2 being always online is better executed than any other live games I’ve seen. And, their servers have been needed up significantly since Friday.

We’re a long way off from iron man type shit, but yeah this is the path to getting there. It’ll probably take decades but hopefully we can iron out the kinks and inconveniences to not so much “solve” problems vs normal screens, but elevate our ease of access and capabilities.

It’s ok! Over the years I’ve learned a lot of tricks to help me deal with them, and notice when they’re coming on. They’ve also slowed down in frequency quite a bit as I age.

I doubt it. Migraine specific pain medicine often has caffeine in it. I get ocular migraines every year or so and goodies or Excedrin migraine (just a blend of nsaids, acetaminophen, and caffeine) do a good job

I’ve been to shops that’ll keep keep nicotine concentrate around mix into the liquid if you want. They can also mix the 0mg variant in to reduce nicotine concentration. It’s possible something like that happened.

That’s funny, I saw that first comment by toiute in the wild and thought it was really strange. Lemmy seems like such a waste of time as a platform to promote scams. Very low population (relative to other social media) and a mostly tech-savvy crowd.

Good work! Glad to know

Aw nice 👍

I think the main issue with air tag stalking is somebody else slipping their own air tags into your car, purse, backpack, etc to always know where you are

Does anyone have links to their videos? News sites never actually post sources :(

Wow I’ve always just thought it just backwards as a design feature. I wore a NATO / OTAN patch for a year 😂

They could worry about regulating the industry to prevent exploitation and trafficking, but God knows they’ll keep their hands out of that

What’s the in trailer that you couldn’t expect? I didn’t really see anything GTA V didn’t already have.

Just in case anybody doesn’t know, if you’re a US or Canada veteran, solidworks is $20 a year

Is it Linux only? What an interesting change of pace, if so

Edit: DDA, I mean

Fortnight absolutely kicked off the battle Royale phase of recent years. PUBG was coming into it’s own at the same time, but is a more hardcore experience so it didn’t get the viral boom. Fortnight being free to play and fairly casual put wind in it’s sails like Minecraft had, every kid everywhere played it.
