  I wouldn’t say games. I’d say carefully calculated reward dopamine triggers with tendrils snaking directly to the entirety of my liquid assets disguised as games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People whose cooking videos say like, "These are so good I make them every week! I make this dish twice a week! I make these three times a week!..." must eat like 6 meals a day.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  If they lied about that, so casually and unnecessarily, what else will they be lying about? The rat poison to taste as the special ingredient?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can we make lemmy have more relevance?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah just use it as normal and have patience.

  Only reason I’m here is after getting arbitrarily banned from reddit for the 3rd time and refusing to make a new one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are your parents "supposed" to be your role models?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Supposed to be. From a pure animal point of view They’re successful enough to have reproduced. Given that between them they make up your entire genetic composition, the wisest course of action is to emulate them.

  Then human society got to a point where the bar for survival/reproduction is so low that it’s not necessarily a good idea to emulate them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Because it’s a recognisable brand name that’s easier and more palatable to communicate than “sell videos of increasingly depraved sex acts en masse”

  It’s just how it’s been normalised. Anyone who is actually interested and wants to get engaged will learn better quite quickly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At some point, kids watching older cartoons will no longer understand why putting a thermometer under a desk lamp was a way to skip school.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah he plays minecraft

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If children are taught to read by AI there is no shot they don't teach them wrong and change language for ever.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So you’re creating the doom you’re prophecising?

  Nicely played.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ace Attorney became a hit IP only because Capcom pushed past the “failure” of first game, according to former dev⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The upbeat music that plays once you hit out with some evidence that puts you on the attack. I’ve never felt so emotionally hyped and invested from a text-reading game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't the Mediterranean, Black Sea, Red Sea, the Baltic etc. considered Gulfs?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I had the same thought with cape and peninsula

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The more I know about something, the more my claustrophobia starts acting up⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ve obviously put a lot more thought into this than I ever will, but I’ve never reached a point of claustrophobia, more the opposite, like agoraphobia. Every time I learn a little more there’s references to things I don’t know yet so need to learn those to understand that. But surprise! That topic also has references and underlying details I don’t understand and haven’t heard of before.

  I get very intimidated by the awareness of the sheer scope of my ignorance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oblivion Remastered Impressions (and Discussion Thread)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m disappointed with it, but that’s my problem. I can’t put my finger on why, I think my expectations have changed. Somehow I was expecting it to blow me away like the first time I played it and obviously it just can’t do that.

  Still gonna sink a fair few hours into it though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's kinda crazy that we willingly give money to companies in advance (say for gift vouchers and pre-orders)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  At the risk of doing some kind of ism, it’s weird that normal people do it.

  I can see the merit giving them to someone who is a drug addict or otherwise mentally enfeebled so they can get the gift with a little more agency with less risk of them spending it unwisely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone else feel guilty or very depressed after accomplishing anything?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel that so hard.

  All that ended up happening was I’d learned not to bother trying. If I didn’t try I’d still beat everyone else. Then real life started and it turns out the only lesson you needed to learn in school was to learn how to try.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With Tim Pool in the White House Press Pool, will we ever find out what's under that beanie?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A suit?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Knowing literally no other details other than your ages and the fact youre asking strangers, I would say bad idea. It might be a phenomenal idea though with more information.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The oedipus offensive

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda Gifts Everybody in the Skyblivion Team a Copy of Oblivion Remastered⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty out of the loop on that sort of thing, but the games come with inbuilt game editors to make your own mods really easily right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A huge amount of incredible seeds on various Roguelikes must be wasted on people who are new or bad at the game⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m going to check out if slay the spire let’s me go back far enough to see my first ever run. I won that easily and then lost like 50 times in a row. I want to see just how busted it was.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A month later, Japan’s cheap new PS5 rental service is still proving successful, with 200 locations renting out consoles at 100% capacity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Are Japan that far in the future that they’re using CD the same way we use vinyl?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake Reveal Livestream (starts in 23 hours)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m with you there. It’s going to be cool and I really want it, but I’ve already completed it a bunch. I’m never going to be able to get properly excited like I would for ES6

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Skyblivion fan project lead reacts to Oblivion remake news with "all love and no hate"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re right on the money. We’re getting double the oblivion!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unlike in movies, most smart people aren't good in chess.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  One of the daftest people I ever met managed to beat 3 of us at once at chess. Would routinely kick my ass every time and it wasn’t even close.

  The kind of person who absolutely would have injected bleach to cure covid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why walk, when you can ride?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Gotta get that Bunglers Bane.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The unfortunate thing about twins is that they might fight over which one was not planned.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Call him Pikeal I guess

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix’s latest season of ‘Black Mirror’ comes with a mobile game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually really enjoyed the game, and was disappointed that it was so short. I was hoping for a couple more worlds. I guess they did good though. Hook you in with the gameplay then hit you with the black mirror shtick and get out before it can get tedious. Always leave them wanting more.

  I::: spoiler spoiler I want more. :::
