You’re telling me it’s “shifting” and not “slipping”???

That’s what I imagined it would be, it’s just the act of starting it that is difficult for me. I’m on the 2nd book in 3 Body Problem and I can’t bring myself to start it, despite really enjoying the 1st one. And from what I’ve seen, the 2nd is better than the 1st lol
Yeah, I am a subscribed feed main. I want to see what I want, not wade through everything available to me. That may lead to me missing some stuff that may interest me, but so filters out a large portion of stuff I know I do not want to see.
I remember using Sync, but it didn’t really stick for me. If it’s the one I’m thinking of, it’s like Relay but slightly worse?
Ooh Sync is another one I enjoyed! I swear I bought every large 3rd party app to try out fully. Google Pay Rewards, thank you. Lol
Yeah I’m not entirely well-versed in the implications of what that would allow, but it’s another use-case that would be cool to see!
That’s…actually a cool AF idea/inplementation of Fediverse shit. A practical use as well, as they’d control who was on the instance and would be a sorta pseudo-verification process for any accounts on it’s own.
I’m a Boost truther. I loved Boost for Reddit, and the dev is usually super responsive in the subreddit when it was a thing. I also used many Reddit apps; BaconReader, Relay, and Apollo on iPhone back when I had one. Boost was easy favorite. I’m not entirely sure how it plays with every lemmy instance though, as I’m just on .world
I actually bought their Immune System book, just cause I’ve enjoyed their stuff for so long. I remember those stupid little birds over a decade ago, and the book serves a little more purpose than their general merch. It’s also really well illustrated. Haven’t had the time to read it yet, as it’s pretty lengthy and sorta dry as a “scientific” immune system picture book should sorta be, lol.
Also, awesome your brother got referenced! That’s pretty sweet
For as long as Kurzgesagt has been around, they’ve always been a favorite of mine. The art style, well-researched topics and cited articles, and corrections when needed have been a pretty nice change of pace given standard YouTube fare nowadays.
Sounds decent enough! I am not hardcore against ads; I know platforms and publications need to pay somehow. If they’re non-intrusive, I don’t mind seeing them. Thanks for the info!
That’s kind of what I was worried about, was if it was algorithm based, and if it was, how bad is it pushing content vs showing me what I would be interested in. RSS feeds may be difficult cause I never really committed to any specific publications or sites, so I wouldn’t have any specific ones to populate the feed.
Haven’t gotten to that point yet; I’ve followed/unfollowed a few just due to general spam or some pretty clear biases (whether I agree with them or not).
Ty! Will have to look into it some! My problem is I don’t have any specific preferred news sites already so I guess I’ll be just spamming big ones til it gets sorted out a bit? I’d also like to keep it as balanced as possible, if not just to be prepared for potential points of conflict to be knowledgeable on.
How do people like Flipboard? I need to find something to get news now that I’m off Reddit. Is it pretty decent at giving different perspectives in articles or is it pretty much algorithm based on what you’ll prefer?
That’s what I’m doing. I got 2 subs that I frequented on Reddit I’m running, one is a sports one with discussions for the events, and it’s literally just me putting commentary into it. But that’s what I loved about the Reddit sports subs, so I’ll at least have it for when people come here.
Idk, NFS:U2 also had a good ass sound track lol. But yeah, just by virtue of the setting, Horizon has always had some good sound tracks. H4 got old real quick tho…
It’s gonna be hard to pick, because despite seeming like a pretty shallow genre, there are some pretty wild differences in gameplay. Arcade, Simcade, and Simulator all rely on different populations. People who enjoy Horizon are probably not lining up to play iRacing, and vice-versa.
In my opinion, I’d say one of the early Gran Turismo games, specifically 2 through 4. It was many people’s introduction to racing games and, at the time, was pretty cutting edge. That’s now changed with the Sim games, but there are plenty of Sim offerings now and it isn’t necessarily anything “groundbreaking” being released anymore.
I’m hesitant to agree with Horizon because I personally don’t enjoy it at all, but I understand the appeal of the first one, especially in a time where that concept was fairly new.
NFS:U2 Is also up there, due to the era. That was the epitome of late 90s/early 2000s car culture and had a large impact on the scene at the time, and just was a benchmark for the arcade side of stuff for a long time.
I hadn’t seen that; the last “official” position I saw on it was that it was still in question on how he obtained it, but that it was presumed to be his father’s. But even then, that highlights difficulties with gun ownership. Someone giving me a car doesn’t grandfather me in to use, so if it was gifted from his father, that bypasses some current checks. If it was a gun his father owned that he took, then it likely wasn’t secure as it should be, again failing the traditional gun safety terms and responsible ownership.
