No one’s telling you that you don’t have that choice… Just that over-indulging in that choice could lead to heart disease. What you find to be an acceptable level of risk is entirely up to you.
- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #36 - Kona 2 weeks ago:
I love walking sims, exploration games, and mysteries… Kona was such a great title. Really moody and atmospheric. Looking forward to picking up the sequel soon, maybe during this sale. Thanks for sharing!
- Comment on No Man's Sky The Cursed Expedition 3 weeks ago:
This is a great summary of the game, I just wanted to add on that you don’t necessarily have to start a new character for expeditions. They added the “Expedition Terminus” in the Space Anomaly a few updates back, which lets you start the expedition from an existing save.
That said, I always start a new character, because those first couple hours where I’m trying to get on my feet are always the most challenging for me, and that keeps the game fresh by pushing me outside my usual style of engaging with the game.

- Comment on What is the purpose of this plastic piece? 1 month ago:
Could it be to protect the rest of the item from getting scratched by the prongs? Especially a screen, or some soft/glossy plastic case that would be prone to scratches.
- Comment on Why is Facebook filled with so much random junk now? 2 months ago:
For the same reasons that everything else is “enshittified” – It’s produced by people seeking maximum profits for minimum effort, and consumed by people who aren’t discerning enough to care.

Those markings are the key to a map that shows the exact location of Thomas Jefferson’s secret tomb!
- Comment on First Borderlands 4 Concept Art Revealed at PAX West Showing Off a Glimpse of Its New Worlds 2 months ago:
Definitely looks like more Borderlands.
I really enjoyed 1 and 2, played through the main story in both at least two times. I installed 3 over a year (two years?) ago and just completely stalled out on it, so it remains unfinished.
I really liked the low-gravity aspect of Pre Sequel, and the more immersive thematic elements of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands… Hopefully there’s something like those things here, that really adds on to the core gameplay loop, and not just additional in-game currencies or another elemental damage type.

- Comment on Restaurant in NYC offshores cashier job to Philippines so they can pay below minimum wage ($3/hr in Philippines) 4 months ago:
Working as a graphic designer in the US since the early 2000’s, every employer I ever worked for eventually used Fiverr to pay someone overseas a fraction of what they paid me to do the same work. This doesn’t seem meaningfully different.
Not saying this is okay, just that it’s not even remotely (no pun intended) a new problem.

- Comment on Boys admit killing more than 20 animals in break-in 8 months ago:
I think they meant that the boys were of good character, besides the breaking and entering, vandalism, property damage, theft, cruelty to animals, and massacre.

- Comment on Over 50 per cent of users may shun social media by 2025 as misinformation, toxicity grow 10 months ago:
For what it’s worth, I agree with you about Lemmy and Reddit not really qualifying as “social media.” I think of it more as a spectrum than a binary value…
- Old school forums were very specific to a single topic (though most forums I used did have an “Off Topic” board), and only lightly social – I never knew any forum user outside of their respective forum, and certainly not in real life.
- On the opposite end, Facebook/Insta/TikTok are very social – there’s a lot of expectation that you’ll be interacting with people that you know personally – and they are more “agnostic” (?) of any one particular topic.
- Reddit and Lemmy land somewhere in between those two extremes, in terms of both the social and topical aspects. But neither cross the line into “social media,” at least not for me and my personal definition of the term.
And just to split hairs even a little more, I think Lemmy is more palettable than Reddit for me, by virtue of the smaller (and generally more tech-savvy) user base.
