I’ve barely dipped my toes into the games so far because I keep coming back to Ninpek and (I forget the name) the one where you keep jumping upward and try not to fall.
This was the one that I saw a video about before I knew what UFO 50 was! I tried searching for Mortol on steam, to no results. Lol
What a creative idea for a platformer.
Holy wow.
Where are you posting this? I’d be very interested in reading! I’ve only just gotten started, but I can already feel that I’m going to sink a ton of time into this game.
Yeah, I have been confused by some at first. However, that was also my experience playing games like this back in the day, so in a weird way it has added to the authenticity for me. Lol
If I can’t figure some of them out (looking at you, Barbuta), I’ll have to look up some stuff.
After some unproductive googling, here’s a random guess. The cover art style doesn’t really match (not sure if the inside is different), but it has a deep sea diver and a lady underwater, who I can only assume is the “Ghost Queen”
The new responsibilities, the crying, the diapers for a few years, the chaos, the messy house, etc. can definitely be a hassle, but it’s just so damned rewarding that all of that feels like a drop in the bucket to me.
I’ve described it to people before as like winning the lottery. Yeah, it would be annoying to have to go turn in the ticket, go to the bank quite a few times, probably hire a money manager and sit through a lot of boring calls and appointments about your accounts for the rest of your life, hire a lawyer to manage your will/estate, etc., but when compared to how much you’ve gained, you wouldn’t even really care about that, you know?
My kids.
It sounds cheesy, but I’m acutely aware that I’m experiencing the best years of my life right now - the ones that I’ll look back on with strong nostalgia for the rest of my life. Life is amazing, and I’m grateful for every day.
I prefer how information dense and responsive steam is.
Epic is laggy, logs me out constantly, and is inefficiently organized (at least by default). I don’t want to scroll through cards or change my sorting filters/layout each time I want to find something. When I open steam, it has a permanent tab that says LIBRARY at the top, and when I click on that, it gives me a massive scrollable list of my games, defaulting to A-Z. Simple is better.
Plus, user reviews are really nice to have when considering dropping $ on something.
They were so fun and over the top.
I saw someone share a photo of this and assumed it was photoshop!
Thank you! I picked the uniform adjustment for my profile pic.
Wow, instant subscribe right there.
It’s a psychological consequence of polarization, which occurs when you have too many people in a social group agreeing with each other.
Groupthink elevates extreme opinions.
How do you feel about carrots and leafy greens?
This is current problem in society that we don’t tolerate different opinion.
Exactly this. When online platforms become too homogeneous, any deviation from the typical opinions that are shared seems like a terrible, inexcusable offense that someone must do something about - thus, reinforcing the bubble.
We need to be able to disagree with each other and still get along.
Since most people are talking about the sign-up barriers, I’ll mention culture and reputation.
I love Lemmy and Mastodon, but whenever I’ve seen the fediverse brought up elsewhere, someone inevitably shuts down any curiosity by suggesting that it’s a political echo-chamber. I don’t think that’s accurate for all of it, but if that reputation is out there, we probably need to make an effort to show that there’s a broader appeal. If the average person is expecting the fediverse to be the left-wing equivalent of something like “Truth Social”, I could understand the reluctance to adopt it.
Why are there so many weird fraud stories like this out of China?
Reminded me of this fake waterfall story from earlier this year.
The integrity in this post is off the charts.
Love to see it.
This is the way.
Social media will jump from one super important and stressful thing that we all need to lose sleep over to the next with or without us. Yes, these things might be important, but a lot of online activism seems to be about who can scare more people into supporting X, Y, or Z with zero regard for the reader’s mental health, the rhetoric used, or even being 100% factual.
It doesn’t hurt to disengage every so often.
That’s impossible…
