• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨if you ever traveled 1K miles by bus, would you recommend it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I traveled a thousand miles by bus but it was direct with only one “rest” stop and it was also overnight. Went to sleep on my way out of one city, woke up on my way into another.

  I’ve also done longer trips with multiple stops and changing busses. I brought a book. It was fine.

  When you’ve got less money and more time, it’s a good option to have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do people in this day in age become nazis/neonazies sexist or even incels when there is so much knowledge against it? Do they get anything out of being that way?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What they get is blaming others for their problems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how does a tote bag work?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You slid it over one shoulder, not like a messenger bag, and hold it there with one hand as you walk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the oldest game anyone here has played in 2024?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am very much into this kind of stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the oldest game anyone here has played in 2024?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Collassal Cave Adventure, 1976

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is Lemmy better than Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Users are kinder, discussion is better. There’s no need to drive engagement so there’s no algo pushing conflict and outrage to the fore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is Lemmy better than Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As a former RIF user, I use Jerboa.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can someone define "liberal" (in its use as an insult) for me?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Neoliberalism is itself a postliberal framework that rejects many central tenets of classical liberalism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can someone define "liberal" (in its use as an insult) for me?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Deontology is bankrupt as an ethical philosophy tho

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why won't companies release old games or at least make very old ones free?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Rereleasing an old game has costs. Doing it for free has costs but no profit. It’s simple math.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I know this is PatientGamers, but can we discuss how even the current generation of consoles seems to ask for patience as they aren't that many games 4 years after their release?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a Switch, which has hundreds of games and great couch coöp. I can’t speak to most of the other concerns except creativity, and to that I say: Any platform open to indie devs is one that won’t suffer from lack of creativity. You’ll have to deal with Sturgeon’s Law, but that was always true.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't I increase my cum volume?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hear you. Different juices for different uses, am I right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't I increase my cum volume?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would you fucking want to?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is there no sense of "camaderie" in the workplace?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t really consider someone a friend until we’ve shared a meal. Some places lend themselves more to that than others.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨m/Polyamory is LIVE⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why I don’t watch television.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adult pool goers - what do people even do at the pool?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Teach my kids to swim, float on my back, practice holding my breath, do underwater laps, finally do that Slavic dance where you alternate balancing in you heels with kicks without tipping over…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite spooky (but not scary) retro games?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have fond memories of playing it, but I never beat it and never even really understood how to beat it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite spooky (but not scary) retro games?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you ever played Sweet Home for the NES? It’s like Luigi’s mansion crossed with Final Fantasy themed after a Japanese horror movie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Moms, I you were struggling with your child in public and a man offered to help, would you let him and why?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  FUCK NO

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Otome Games⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Alright! Not really familiar with the genre, but I put up a post to get you started.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does voting for Biden change anything if I live in a deep red area of my state? (Ohio)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Usually because they died, given the age skew on the current parties.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does voting for Biden change anything if I live in a deep red area of my state? (Ohio)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes! Downballot offices usually have a greater effect on your life than higher ones, in fact.

  And I guarantee you that if every voter who thought their vote didn’t count went out and voted, they damn well would count. The turnout last election was 46% of elligible voters. 46%! Half of us who could vote, didn’t! 53% is enough to swing any state.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for games that feel like a summer adventure⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Try Stranded Sails. It’s a tight little adventure game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are jabronis a necessity for a social media platform to be successful?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure how you’re using the term here, since I know two definitions for it:

  A) streetcorner loiterer

  2] slang for testicles

  Eiither are you talking about lurkers, or trolls, or shitposters, or what?

  Lurkers may or may not be necessary. I’m not one, I couldn’t say.

  Trolls are not necessary, and in fact harmful to discourse.

  Shitposters are very necessary, they are the leaven to discussion that makes it fluffy and digestible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is my punctuation correct?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, I really want to correct the original authors’s grammar. Why use “instantiation” instead of “instance”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the US not considered a third world country?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because the definition of “first world” is “aligned with the US during the Cold War”, second world was aligned with the USSR, third world were countries not significant on the global stage. It correlates with but does not require poverty or dictatorships.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is everyone here leftist?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it better to rent a cheap/shitty place, or rent something suitable that you struggle to afford?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like you’d like to go out. Get a cheaper place and use the difference for adventures!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it better to rent a cheap/shitty place, or rent something suitable that you struggle to afford?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You should only even consider the latter if your employment is very secure and you’re a full-on homebody.

  Being able to save now means a nicer place later; spending less on housing means more for going out. Get the cheaper place for a little while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it impossible to reverse-engineer closed source software?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We can and have done this, but there’s not much gain, which is why it’s mostly done by hobbyists to their favorite older software whose parent company went bust. It’s especially common for older games.
