“centrists”

Okay, let’s see “God” come on down and do that. Until then I’m gonna continue being “depraved” fucking nut jobs.

One person benches

Chair. That’s a chair

Couldn’t you just say “Vampires hate them!” If you don’t know? Seems easier imo

Not nearly as much as my face that’s for sure

I do this, here’s why. Also I’m 23

I don’t like getting oils and sweat on my screen. I also don’t like putting my dirty screen on my face.

I can still talk to someone and do other stuff on my phone. If I want privacy or I’m in an area where speakerphone would be annoying then fine I’ll use it the old way, but generally I have headphones to bridge that gap anyways.

The moment Google stops stealing my data I might consider using YouTube premium

Oh today I learned, TBH my information was probably out of date. But this is good to know. Definitely a step in the right direction even if more diversified public transportation options are better

I personally haven’t found low poly horror to do too much for me.

Alien Isolation had to be one of the scarier games I’ve played, on top of SOMA and those both look great.

The issue imo of hyper real graphics is by taking a boring approach to it, the whole game suffers

I’m aphantasic for sure, I think I’m even entirely mind-blind so to speak, I can’t imagine smells, tastes, sounds, images, or textures.

I can still dream and I can even recall the details vividly the morning of, but I suspect myself of being on the autism spectrum as I’ve always been super obsessed with finer details. Besides those recollections aren’t in a mental image, it’s more so concepts.

When I think of an apple I know the physiology of an apple and thus I can discern the details onto paper (albeit crudely as I’m not artist) but I’ve always suffered with geometry since rotating a shape in my head is impossible, algebraic translations, flips, etc across the x or y axis are also super difficult for me to grasp. But I can deal with arithmetic easier.

In terms of getting better at it? I’m not really in an environment or situation where I could safely test out hallucinogens, but with my ADHD on top of suspected autism, I really don’t think I want to see images in my head. In 2019 I had my deepest dive into depression, and while I was having a 2am panic attack (the peak of my depression I’d say) where I had endless racing thoughts just coming at me from all directions. The “noise” of my own thoughts overpowered everything. If I could imagine sound (and by extension, voices) beyond my own I might have actually gone farther than a 2 second peak of “I want to die”.

The only reason shit like that even succeeds is probably because people put on live streams as background noise

We def get plenty of good games in a year. But everyone wants to give their money to big AAA devs when the good games are made by small teams.

This year we got (in the spotlight):

Baldurs Gate 3, LoZ: Tears of the Kingdom, Resident Evil 4, and Pikmin 4.

And in the background we got: Turbo Overkill, Have a Nice Death, Pizza Tower, just to name a few.

Maybe take a break from gaming if it’s so irritating, or go back and play some older games. Either way, the overconsumption of people who grew up gaming js unsustainable and it leads to mental burnout eventually. Doesn’t help that most profit comes from multiplayer games, which people continue to actively play while complaining about it as if there aren’t other options.

A self image that has been instilled through years and years of highly targeted, and highly researched ad campaigns.

People “want” these because they believe they need it, because the ads told them they need it. Then the other men who own those vehicles proceed to shit on the men with smaller trucks, and those insecure enough to bend over get the big truck as well.

I don’t see this truck culture in Europe. I don’t see people buying stupid vehicles to go offroading full of expensive gadgets and so on. While I’m sure it exists in small pockets it is by no means the level it’s at here. (In Europe it’s probably more for sports cars anywho)

Point being, no one wanted those SUVs until the car companies told them they want those SUVs.

I’ve heard this plenty of times, but are you using that field? Are you using that forest? This road that road? Are you using the parking lot in Seattle when you live in Georgia?

“We have the space for bigger vehicles” does not make sense when we have to drive farther and farther to reach things that are useful for us. (Also sprawling development destroys local ecosystems, and along with that, natural resources.)

While I would’ve agreed with you a few years ago, it’s just not a realistic thought process when most people live their day-to-day lives in an area about the size of Luxembourg.

Big vehicles are a huge waste of valuable resources that could’ve been used on other things, such as infrastructure, public transport, smaller vehicles. Etc.

They are tricked into wanting big vehicles.

Bait

Never too late to learn how to read 🤷‍♀️

So each instance within the fediverse can communicate with each other, but how do things like the feeds work? Since there’s no algorithm is everything from Lemmy.world only going to show up on the popular feed (if I’m on that instance) or can other things like lemmy.ee or whatever also show up?

And can I comment on posts from a different instance or does that vary per instance?

Sorry, last one. I noticed there are things like music streaming and video sharing instances within the fediverse, so could Lemmy theoretically allow content from those instances to be cross-posted here?

Basically to me this feels like a super modular super media platform that has tons of parts that can plop in and out of the system as needed.
