- Comment on I'm playing Gears of War Reloaded, and I have a question. Will there be some point when the Chainsaw I've had for hours actually gets explained to me? 1 week ago:
Games should allow you to discover their features, they shouldn’t be telling you directly. That’s the cool part of figuring out a new combo in Mortal Kombat, etc.
They don’t give you a clippy tooltip that says “Press Up Up Down B A Down Down to rip this bitches head off!” – You figure out the combos on your own, or with friends.
This idea of every little thing having to be presented DIRECTLY to the user is laziness. There are ways to help a user discover things narratively.

It’s so weird that players these days don’t press buttons and figure shit out on their own…do you really need a tutorial for a basic weapon?
- Comment on YSK that hand sewing is a stupid cheap hobby to get into and reduces your impact on the environment 1 week ago:
Just think through the logistics of how you would use a sewing machine to reinforce the knee of some pants or to reinforce/repair a well loved stuffy.

Like this – Doing knee patches, or small stuffies isn’t difficult with a proper sewing machine. You just bunch up the material to get around it.
- Comment on YSK that hand sewing is a stupid cheap hobby to get into and reduces your impact on the environment 1 week ago:
Machine sewing isn’t that much more expensive, and it’s a VAST improvement over hand sewing unless you’ve got plenty of time, and lots of boredom.
- Comment on 3D printing sites should require a printed model when uploading a design. 1 week ago:
Many of them actually do. Report any model that doesn’t have a printed picture with it and printables/makerworld will both take them down.
- Comment on 90% of Games Developers Already Using AI in Workflows, According to New Google Cloud Research 3 weeks ago:
I mean, it makes complete sense. Photoshop has had ‘magic fill’ for a long time and that’s basically just stable diffusion inpainting.
I’ve had a lot of customers of mine using AI tools to be able to create things they’d never have been able to hire anyone to do, or be able to learn themselves.
It’s really easy too, for an artist that only does 2D shading, etc - to convert their 2D character to 3D and get textures, while cleaning up and continuing the work. Sites like Meshy are really good for quick prototypes, and then you can swap them out later for fully produced models. Especially indie games where someone might not have the artistic chops, but they have the programming chops.
- Comment on YSK that despite being outside of US jurisdiction, Lego has dropped diversity and inclusion terminology from its annual report 4 weeks ago:
Bad news, their patent expired and they in turn, trademarked the bricks. They sue everyone under trademark now, instead of patent infringement.
- Comment on I swear they’ve changed but I haven’t 5 weeks ago:
It was a quick example for someone who didn’t understand the concept you dipshit.
- Comment on I swear they’ve changed but I haven’t 5 weeks ago:
It was just an example dipshit. Ain’t nobody got time to actually compile shit like that.
- Comment on I swear they’ve changed but I haven’t 5 weeks ago:
You’re on the tippy top of the internet iceberg. All of the corporate-facing shit.
- Comment on I swear they’ve changed but I haven’t 5 weeks ago:
I see the same severity that I always have - the issue is Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Vine, Tiktok, etc are all just finally sinking into the swamp that is the internet. It’s all been under the surface, you just never participated in the real internet, and it’s starting to invade your spaces now is all.
- Comment on I swear they’ve changed but I haven’t 5 weeks ago:
It’s clear you’ve never been a real big part of the internet. It hasn’t changed. It’s always been “the wild west”, full of misinformation, maliciousness, callousness, etc.
- Comment on A fair punishment for the obscene hoarding of wealth 1 month ago:
This isn’t right - this all assumes he gets to keep his money. Now take $1500/month in rent, $200 in food, SS, sales tax, etc.
- Comment on How abnormal is it for a mother to be her son a fleshlight for his 18th birthday? 1 month ago:
I’m pretty fucked up as a person, and I think this would be weird as all fuck. I think most people consider fleshlights pretty taboo to begin with.
- Comment on Can no longer access my old instance (lemmings.world) because I'm from the UK. I made several communities there. Is there any way I can mod them again or do I move them to this instance? 1 month ago:
windscribe $1/month.

Hey, where’d they get a picture of me?!

Use this if xcaddy is too much.
- Comment on How to use a domain I own to self-host services? 1 month ago:
Seconding Caddy – It’s as close to it gets for “Just works”. It handles all the certs, it’s easy to refresh and add a subdomain instantly, handles wildcard domains, and the config file is dead simple to understand.

McDonalds Caramel Frappe, Add Espresso shot. Tastes like a liquid snickers bar.
- Comment on The sheer amount of acronyms used to explain my behavior is beginning to look like the eye-chart at the vision clinic. 2 months ago:
Well I have a litany of medical conditions, from IBS, to ADHD, PTSD, UTIs, STDs and more!
- Comment on The sheer amount of acronyms used to explain my behavior is beginning to look like the eye-chart at the vision clinic. 2 months ago:
There’s just this weird shit everyone is into now where they collect as many alphabet letters as they can. The more alphabet you have, the more powerful you are.
- Comment on goodbye plex 2 months ago:
The only thing that plex has over jellyfin at the moment (in my opinion) is the simple sign on and user options that allow users to have their own usernames and not have to know anything about reverse-proxying a domain for jellyfin access. It’s that little bit of back-end that you have to set up that’s the problem for the ‘normie’ users that a lot of plex admins cater to. That, and there’s some holes in where the jellyfin app is available.

be sillyStir shit - Comment on 3D Printing Bed Levelling (Traming) - Simple Concept 2 months ago:
Exactly. These machines can get pretty tight tolerances, but 0.05mm – this is reaching into ‘high precision’ machining territory, and there is no real reason for that with these machines.
- Comment on Just keep typing, wage slaves 2 months ago:
If I recall correctly, they DID call some state agency and everyone was evacuated the next day and the building shut down “indefinitely”.
- Comment on Just keep typing, wage slaves 2 months ago:
This was a Reddit post like…idk, 15 years ago? It’s so wild seeing it show up again.
- Comment on 3D Printing Bed Levelling (Traming) - Simple Concept 2 months ago:
If you’re having this much trouble leveling your bed, and think that 0.05mm makes the difference in adhering or not - then your problem isn’t the bed.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
It wasn’t meant in a negative way - I’ve just seen “Love Stuck” a couple times on lemmy and wanted to make sure you knew the correct version. You’re not the first I’ve seen call it that for whatever reason so it was just kind of a general correction so others didn’t bone-apple-tea the phrase themselves.

Love-struck.
