- Comment on Is trying weed edibles worth it? 2 weeks ago:
I have been smoking weed daily for 11 years now. If I knew what I’d become I never would have started. I am completely dependent on it, I have really low/bad moods if I’m sober and I’ve lost all motivation. I am just coasting through life, smoking weed and playing video games. It really sounds like an amazing time but it’s depressing. I haven’t done anything in my life and I’m coming up on 40. I have a career and that’s it. I can’t lose weight because I simply don’t care enough to stick to it. I never traveled anywhere, I have never ridden on a boat, I’ve never ridden a horse, hell… I haven’t even gone skiing and I live in an area where it’s very popular and I have access to the best spots.
I’m not saying weed is bad but you’re young and your brain is still developing. I started smoking when I was 26 and if this can happen to my supposedly developed brain it can be worse for yours. I used to have a drive, I used to be able to do anything. I was pulled out of school in 7th grade and I haven’t gone back to any school but somehow ended up being a software engineer. I was excited for my next steps up to management and then director. Now I don’t give a fuck. I just anxiously wait for each work day to end so I can start smoking until I go to sleep.
Don’t be me. Be smart.

I’ve been playing the original EverQuest (real patient lol) but caved and got Slay the Spire 2 the other day because it’s relatively cheap and seems like a good one. So far I’m really enjoying it and it’s fun to finally be playing a new game that everyone I know is also playing. Usually something comes out and they’re like “what are you playing?!” and my answer is EverQuest 😂
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 4 weeks ago:
Fallout 1 and 2 were rough for me, I never really got through them. I have read that Fallout 2 really defines what the series is so I’ve been wanting to revisit it. Start out with 1! Don’t forget to hit save constantly.

So we can do this with functioning brain cells but we can’t have abortions? Seems a bit… fucked

Of course he should be, but will he be? It’s not up to us plebs to decide whether he is punished or not unfortunately.

Love this idea. This new form of consciousness is terrifying but your ideas makes it more tolerable for me. ❤️

In my state it’s up to 25%, you can guess what % is chose every time. Ask me how I know, currently losing 25% each check right now. It hits hard.

What the fuck 😭
I worked with a guy who wore shoes every waking moment. The only time he didn’t was in bed or in the shower. Imagine waking up and first thing you do is throw on your new balance shoes.

I didn’t read anything and I don’t know who this man is but the picture is just… I can’t… He looks like a baby with the headband eye glasses. That expression… He’s enjoying his puffed rice cereal bites while signalling that he wants milk.

Hell yeah! I was born like 2 years after this came out so it wasn’t an option for me 😭 I got to experience the other ones through my older cousins though.

One of the coolest toys to have existed.
- Comment on Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck 2 months ago:
Ahh that makes sense, I totally misunderstood it. My bad. Also there are auto playing programs that exist lol. People use programs to create bots that farm gear, materials, and currency. EverQuest has one called MacroQuest that has the ability to do literally everything for you 😹

You get it. The people I know who refuse to learn small things to get ahead are always the ones who have bad coping mechanisms.
- Comment on Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck 2 months ago:
That’s quite the take. You seem to be the exact audience for this up and coming “feature”. Why play a game when you can just watch AI play it? TONS of people replay games and rewatch movies ALL THE TIME.
- Comment on Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck 2 months ago:
Why would you single out MMO veterans in this scenario? I’ve been playing MMOs since 2001 AND I git gud. I am the older sibling/cousin that you hand your controller to when you don’t want to git gud to pass a boss.
Overall… I hate this idea that Sony has. If this becomes the norm I might never play a new game again 😭
- Comment on Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck 2 months ago:
Then don’t play dark souls. It’s inherently a frustrating game series, on purpose. I like to get gud and if some asshole puts AI into the game that takes over when I am stuck for a while I’d be upset. But tbh I wouldn’t even buy the game that has this in it. I’m not interested in training LLMs with my gaming skllls.

You have already gotten a ton of good suggestions already but I’d like to vouch for the Ellis 3d printing tuning guide and Suave Mega Hold Hairspray (huge pink can).
If you follow it from beginning to end you will have those prints coming out looking clean and actually sticking to the bed. It will take you a few hours but I promise you won’t regret it.
I find in 3d printing, sometimes it actually matters in what order you do your tuning.
Hot tip: Read the instructions first before you start doing anything. I kept making mistakes because I didn’t do that

My father is convinced that humans and dinosaurs coexisted and told me that ai proved that to him. So… people do let it think for them.

I struggle. I love social media. Lemmy adds to the depression because somehow every post is political and I get to see all the bad things the government is doing every day. I’m shutting it all down. If I need a social fix I can play an MMO lol

I believe being on Lemmy causes unhappiness as well. We need to stop using all forms of social media. Today is my birthday and as a birthday present to myself I’m uninstalling all social media on my phone by midnight. I’m just getting my last few fixes in before I do it 😹

I like to get raw unfiltered honey and there’s no way this stuff I get can come out of a squeeze bottle. 100% needs to be spooned out because it’s almost a solid.
In the end I was making jokes about the main stream honey bear bottles ❤️
