I love lemmy. On the other site, you’d have 100 snarky and/or insulting replies. Here, there’s a single reply that is straightforward and helpful.
I dunno, thanks for being a bright spot in otherwise somewhat bleak world.

You were. You made the best decision with the information you hat at the time, and that’s the best you can hope for!
- Comment on Discord roll out global age verification system, including an "age inference" model that runs in the background 2 weeks ago:
My group mostly only uses discord for video chat during D&D. Is there a recommended alternative? We don’t use ANY of the other features. I’m looking into jitsi now.

They can pry my hardware from my cold, dead hands.
Also my car with knobs. I will continue to maintain that car for as long as possible.

Interesting, it may be more than simply turning off bobbing then. I wish you luck!
Also, @ameancow has some great suggestions as well.
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 3 weeks ago:
I couldn’t find conclusive information for Wolfenstein 3D or Doom, but it seems to point toward bobbing being present for those as well.
If it really seems like a game that might be otherwise fun, I’d recommend giving it a shot with bobbing/sway (however it is called) turned of.
This also affects my wife, she has to have it off in order to enjoy any 3d, first person game.

Have you messed with the settings? Turning off view bobbing might be the trick!

I’m none of these.
One large center monitor, a smaller 1080p to the left and right, and above the center large one for a total of four.
Perfect for being a DM.

I would love to, but unfortunately our work requires windows due to the software packages we use. And no, I really don’t want to run a virtual machine for CAD.

I deal with this at work. Two engineers love AI, myself and the other engineer hate it. We’re mechanical. It’s funny when a material standard doesn’t exist…

- Comment on My landlord partnered with a financing company - I can pay $15/month for the luxury of making weekly payments on my rent 3 months ago:
Many are. But I’ll stick my neck out here for when I rented in socal.
My landlord Randy was a retired dentist. He had built an ADU on his property in order to care for his very elderly mother. She had since passed away, leaving him with an empty mobile home in his backyard.
It sat empty for a few years, as his now-adult children and friends didn’t need it. He couldn’t sell it because of minimum plot size, setbacks, and utility issues.
I ended up renting from him for two years, and it was an excellent situation with reasonable rent and a great relationship.
I think a great many landlords are garbage, and I don’t think it’s possible to be a corporate landlord without being garbage. But there are some situations where a landlord is just a person who finds themselves in a situation where renting a space out makes the most sense. Open to other perspectives on this.
