  • Well goddamn it. I was just having this convo on another thread. My main point: don’t spread lies especially when there is SO MUCH real shit to laugh at them for

    Edited from my other comments elsewhere:

    JD is a creepy weirdo, but the couch story was made up.

    I fucking hate it when people feel the need to make up stuff about someone who already has plenty of real red flags that need attention.

    Yes it’s funny, and it’s working in the short term. But any lie, once uncovered, makes it so much easier for even the worst positions to be defended. ‘See, they have to make shit up about us, they have nothing’. Bam, now even all the other factual points are discredited in the eyes of many people who may have been on the fence.

    You know the whole ‘fake news’ thing being thrown around a lot by one side in particular? It doesn’t seem like a good idea to give them more examples they can correctly point to when they want to discredit you and anything else you say.

    Keep calling them weird, keep having fun with it. It’s fucking great. But use the real shit. There’s so much




  • If you have the option, I would suggest going to a Dr before assuming anything is the only plausible explanation.

    Personally, I found out about my neck / posture issues (even though outwardly I have decent looking posture so I never assumed it would be that), got some excercises from a physio and a completely different pillow, and that combo drastically reduced my headaches









  • Battle Royals - for me, it’s about how the consequences heighten the tension, and how the threat of getting unceremoniously smashed back to the lobby heightens the victories.

    Playing with friends makes the the whole experience fun. If you drop and have some downtime ‘just’ gearing up, you can chat and hang out and goof around. Then when shit kicks off, it’s just so much more impactful (imo) than a game where you’ve just died and respawned a bunch already and you can do the same again. The teamwork and communication has to be next level and it feels so damn good to win a round, especially when you’ve been on the back foot and had to claw your way out of tough fights.

    No mind tricks, not fussed about loot boxes and skins, just awesome memories from when we where playing enough to get almost half decent at it.

    …and now I’m missing Apex Legends, might reinstall and remember that my friends don’t play it any more




  • Ooh enjoy! Outer Wilds is one of my favourite things, ever.

    Counter-point to ConstableJelly (they’re not wrong, play however you enjoy, this is just my opinion) - DO avoid guides even when stuck.

    The whole game is about figuring things out, looking at the info you have from different angles, or heading out in brand new directions to see if any new discoveries will tie in with where you’re stuck. Looking something up will rob you of that discovery and maybe other ones that tie in to it.

    There’s a great subreddit for the game that is set up with very specific rules to avoid spoilers. You can ask questions there, and people will expertly nudge you in the right direction based on what you’ve already discovered and figured out. There are communities here also but I don’t think they’re set up in quite the same way yet (especially as spoiler tags are not reliable in Lemmy yet across different apps etc)

    You can definitely do it without resorting to any of the above, but if you get so stuck you’re going to drop the game, I’d say ask in that subreddit. Or, feel free to DM me! I’ll help you without ruining anything as best as I can.

    I remember loving it.

    • would leave the main menu up for the music

    • I know gameplay > graphics, but I’ve always loved technically impressive visuals so that side of it probably made my impressions of it a lot better

    • I really liked the gameplay scenarios created by having to put my torch away to shoot, and how the darkness would be lit up by fireballs hurtling towards me, so I really didn’t give a shit that the doom guy not holding a gun and a torch at the same time was ‘stupid’

    • I was relatively new to PC gaming so didn’t have any impressions from earlier doom games apart from short goes on a friend’s computer; they seemed cool, that’s all I knew
