  Man, that’s so sad. HLD is my favourite game of all time so I’m heartbroken to hear Heart Machine is struggling with Breaker.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hyper Light Breaker | Buried Below Update Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Where did you hear about the issues? I’m curious to know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can calf raise as much as I can squat, yet I have pretty small calves relative to my thighs/glutes. What's the deal?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Think of a see-saw at the playground. Put a 50lb kid on one end and a fully grown adult on the other. The adult obviously lifts the kid, right? Put the adult one inch from the center pivot point and guess what, the kid’s weight now lifts the adult.

  Think of how long your quads are in relation to the length of your femur. Pretty much equal. Now think of your calf’s length in relation to the length of your foot. Its almost twice as long. That’s almost twice the amount of leverage compared to your quads.

  This is the difference between the two and why your calves seem so much more capable for their size than your quads.

  Leverage.

  whose house is it? If you have a kid, that kid is equally entitled to the space you’ve brought them into. That’s a burden you chose to bear when you chose to see a pregnancy to fruition.

  should two consenting aduts adapt…? Yes, especially in the presence of children. Even if we were talking about roommates instead of kids it should be self-evident that your roommate is not wanting to hear you having sex twice a day. Its a common courtesy to be considerate of others around you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  This feels like malicious compliance to me. If I was your kid, I’d be pissed if you felt entitled to attempting to assert dominance like this.

  This is how your kids start resenting you as they grow up. Consider treating them like they’re a part of a family unit that respects boundaries instead of shoving a material possession their way to shut them up. Growing up feeling like an inconvenient burden fucks up a lot of kids in this world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a federated Strava alternative?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do you have a bunch of dog walkers added to your feed? Just remove them and be more conscious of who you are adding in the future.

  I can’t say I share your experience at all on Strava. I find it to be minimal with the ads. They’re not intrusive at all IMO.

  Lemmy feels dead to you?

  Huh…

  It certainly feels very lively to me.

  They “trust” me.

  Dumb fucks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suggestions for a top down game that is genuinely different to all the others?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Try Cogmind, Caves of Qud or Dwarf Fortress maybe?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do people develop feelings for someone?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  To like someone means you enjoy their presence. If people enjoy it when you’re present you’re almost guaranteed to eventually have someone take interest in you.

  For people to enjoy your presence you need to be comfortable with yourself as an individual before anything else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honest question because I’m OOTL, but haven’t games been this price for a long time now and weren’t Switch games even more expensive than this?

  I’m a bit confused.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Ubisoft spent $2.1M on influencers to secure the launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I really don’t think Ubisoft needs to advertise a new Assassins Creed game beyond a few ads here and there, and chatting with some journalists. Spending a ton of money to allow people to play it ahead of time on stream just dilutes the experience for anyone that intends on buying the game.

  Seriously, the last thing I want is for the start of a new game to be spoiled for me by some streamer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that a new internet/account bypass during Windows 11 installs already exists. Here is a 7 step guide.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You down vote me for saying the truth.

  If you think installing Linux is hard you’ve either never done it and let other people dictate your opinions, you’re incompetent with computers or you can’t follow a simple step-by-step guide.

  If you or someone you know sucks with computers, that’s fine. I get not moving someone from Win to Linux if they can’t understand the digital equivalent of tying their shoes. Just get a Chromebook if that’s the case.

  Barring cases of disability, using Windows at a basic level is not hard. Most home users use it to browse the dust on the upper crust of the internet, write a doc, print shit and nothing more. I bet if you swapped Win for Linux on most people’s computers and riced it to look like Win 11 many of them would be none the wiser.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that a new internet/account bypass during Windows 11 installs already exists. Here is a 7 step guide.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not a Linux problem, that’s a PEBKAC or hardware problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that a new internet/account bypass during Windows 11 installs already exists. Here is a 7 step guide.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If installing something like Linux Mint is not intuitive enough for someone, they probably don’t even know what they’re doing on Windows either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AYANEO Pocket MICRO Classic is a tiny Android handheld without analog sticks for $179 and up - Liliputing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That price is insane when the Miyoo Mini+ is under $100 CAD.

  I can appreciate your viewpoint here, but there are a lot of good people in this world that are married to absolute scumbags.

  Dude, thank you for this context. I was already aware of these considerations but just wanted to thank you for sharing this with everyone. Its participation like this that makes the internet a better place. 🍻

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there bots on mastodon that act like humans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What is the point? All this serves is to make any community you loose this on objectively worse.

  This kind of “project” directly contributes to the degeneration of the internet. Please don’t do that.

  This is an opportunity where if you’d used your brain you’d have come to a different conclusion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suffering is Real. AI Consciousness is Not.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My experience of existence creates my reality. It stands to reason that its safe to assume that any other biological/living thing with a brain even remotely like mine should also be experiencing a similar form of reality. I’d define the shared experience of being a human on planet earth as a basis of reality. If I am in some sort of sandbox, it seems to me that would be unknowable to the same degree as being able to know what came before the big bang. Because I’m not a physicist, this question is meaningless to me.

  The evolutionary process that governs humanity would be my measurement yardstick. AI as we know it cannot spontaneously arise in the universe without humanity as a catalyst. Carbon does not self-assemble into ChatGPT if you know what I mean. Carbon self-assembled into humanity that then assembled ChatGPT through technological advancement.

  By that measure it is my opinion that ChatGPT cannot ever achieve consciousness as we know it as without humanity as a maintainer it collapses. Humanity is the consciousness and ChatGPT is a tool that it uses to perform tasks. Any semblance of consciousness is an illusion specifically designed to replicate the nuances of consciousness. Its meant to be human-like in its behaviour and as a result it easily blurs the line for some people.

  I’m not a philosopher but this is how I think of it. I can relate to another human’s experiences. I can’t relate to a computer’s experiences. As a result, I don’t accept any argument in favor of AI consciousness and wouldn’t have any qualms on pulling the plug on an AI. Pulling the plug on a human is a completely different story.

  No one is going to cry for ChatGPT if it ever dies and no one ever should. Its a tool and should be used as such. Trying to shoehorn consciousness into a computer is nothing but unfettered narcissistic ego-tripping if you ask me.
