Pretty fun game. Hits mostly the same receptors in my head as Terraria and Minecraft though wish they had taken their time with the start - just because I've seen the copper phase doesn't mean I wanna just speed through it in a new game.

Can we normalize services using their own damn website to notify about service status (assuming the website isn't affected)?? I'm not going to log into X, FB or Insta for this crap.

I've spent a lot of time researching ethics and climate impact of various products. Ironically AI makes that job a hell of a lot easier. Ethical consumerism is *exhausting* and more often than not, just checking for some cute green label doesn't really guarantee anything.

Spooky lil fish, the Chimaeras! #LetsChangeThat

The biggest threat to our civilisation is not comet impact, or tsunamis, or earthquakes, or anything out of our control; the biggest threat is sheer, unabated, overwhelming human _stupidity_, now amplified by the megaphone of social media. We will die by stupid. youtu.be/Ix4nKNDKhTQ?...

Ah. The time has come. The schools have distributed recorder flutes to the children. I do not have children. I just have a bedroom window facing towards the playground.

Wave of support today has been huge, thank you. We don't know if this is how YouTube will be going forward, but supporting the Patreon now helps us be prepared if it is the new norm viewership wise. YouTube itself will never decide how things go on Second Wind, our subscribers will.

Elden Ring's world and visuals etc. are fucking A M A Z I N G and I love the exploration (esp. with reforged mod that rewards it) but if I wasn't playing coop (seamless mod), I'd never play it because I just find the mechanistic "if this, then that" souls-like gameplay boring. 1/3

I wanted to play an asshole run of The Alters but my second playthrough half-accidentally got a really good ending that left me feel way too warm and fuzzy to then ruin it :(

Look at this beauty: neocities.org/browse. On a computer. No cramped and minimal feeds. 2000's vibe but with modern tech, lots of colors, images, expression. It's fucking glorious and we almost lost it because internet started to cater to tech illiterate social media cattle.

The Alters is great. On my second playthrough. First one completed with the usuals and Miner and Botanist. Second I got all of them, including TR (well, lost one). First run was challenging but I went by my authentic inclinations-as few alts as possible since i see the QC branching as abhorrent 1/2

No phones during class 👍 Teini-minä olisi tod.näk. muhun pettynyt ny mutta helvetin hyvä, että tekevät näin. Jos tätä pidetään onnistuneesti yllä kaikissa suomen kouluissa, saadaan ihan varmasti PISA tulokset taas nousuun ja mielenterveystilannetta paremmaksi. 1/2 yle.fi/a/74-20176136

youtu.be/_dkq_9nL2f0 Liking AHUB. In general I'm happy to find there's plenty of people out there making animated music videos to original content. Just wish they'd post to peertube or dailymotion.

Playing Elden Ring Reforged Seamless with my friends and I still want to play Monster Hunter too... I tell myself holding two different pad control schemes in my head at the same time is very good brain yoga.

I'm starting to kinda love Lemmy. Yeah it's not the stream of mindless entertainment like Reddit, a lot of the memes are shite but it actually does take me back to earlier days of the internet when there wasn't such a content overload. #smallweb #fediverse

Huh. This kinda would make sense in my experience. An argument can be made that I'm HSP and I always thought it odd that I've never had a psychotic episode, in fact it has almost been an issue when dealing with doctors. People think severe mental health issues MUST include psychotic symptoms.

Incidentally, this is exactly why I prefer my one measly like on a Lemmy post as I'm way more confident it was from an actual human. Fediverse could make an attempt. Even if not on a structural level, the communities within could try to keep it at bay, even if it means there's a smaller userbase.

Never in a million years did I think I'd be working with audio as much as I do. The unintended side-effect is that my hearing has become kinda sensitive and oh my god how I want good headphones... as it turns out the 200€ skullcandies aren't (except for bass juicing, which was the point but still)

WandaVision was well worth the watch.

One of the most important quotes of all time

I always was fond of the "gentle giant" trope. Then I liked bishies. Then I got older and started to like bearded guys. I get she's a trans (but I'm pan so w/e). I adore the design and I'd like to see more chars like this of both genders. First time in YEARS I ~swoon~ about a fictional char *-*

I wasn't even trying to do #FashionHunter but I kinda liked how the bits and pieces came together.

Well, at least EU has a passable AI bot. If one has to use one.

Related to my previous post, access to an infinite amount of information (even totally correct information) seems to lead people to think increasingly in black and white. Mechanistically. Ones and zeroes. And as a determinist I get that but the thing is that there's an infinite amount of... 1/3

To quote a legendary Finnish virtuoso "you won't make it out of life alive". You and your surroundings are surrounded by micro-life that's constantly evolving to find new ways to get you. Then there's our own stuff like microplastics and chemicals. Be sensible, sure. Do clean. But you'll never win.

Yoga nidra meditation reduces stress and reshapes cortisol rhythms, study finds

I'm fully aware of the problem of having all eggs in one basket but I still kinda hope that Steam would develop a Discord competitor. Because it's only a matter of time that it gets sucked up by some tech corp, and it's already riddled with adds and nagscreens. And frankly I always hated it anyway.

Friend of mine ditched Windows and switched to bazzite.gg and is happy with it. I'm thinking I will too as I want to be free of Microsoft. Linux gaming has come a long way apparently, and SteamDeck encourages devs to make games Linux compatible. #fuckmicrosoft #linux #windows11 #videogames #bazzite

Monster Hunter Rise is pretty fun. Thanks to Hades I got more confident with the controller and decided to give MHR a go. It's been or interesting watching myself develop new motor coordination skill. Didn't think I would manage but glad to have been wrong.

If the phrasing "inner wisdom" puts you off as New Age wooey, here's just a practical point: you learn of that which you pay attention to. Necessarily. Almost automatically. Your brain was made for pattern recognition but it's not going to pick up on the ones it's not looking at. #Mindfulness

I really want to use MapQuest at least some of the time but I need a single, quick button to press to get directions to the address I looked up from my current location. Route To. Whatever but give me a clear button.

Yeah I'm just gonna have to block anyone who posts AI content. It's getting hard to tell apart real people from bots (or AI assisted creeps) and I cba with the detective work. Maybe it's for the best, makes me value the people I know offline #AI #Artificialintelligence #DeadInternetTheory

All of this.

Cat posting

Tbh it's a good thing that people who are only used to phones and social media are starting to struggle with ads. I think it would be better if this just pushed people off the internet. Let the wonders of ad blocking be esoteric knowledge meant only for the initiated.

I can't stress enough how important it is for EU citizens to keep signing. Signatures rose so significantly over the past week, there's a chance for many fakes. Those *will* be invalidated. Yeeted if you will. Sign for stopkillinggames.com Instructions are on the page! #stopkillinggames

Some supporters have come together to construct a History of #StopKillingGames video: youtu.be/DlOX3wRQvUg We recommend giving it a watch if you want to see Stop Killing Games in its historical context. Spread it around to let others know the same! (🇩🇪 auch auf Deutsch!)

It's sad and funny how Buddhism, Meditation, Mindfulness, Wellness, Sustainability etc. other #hippie feeds are full of AI generated slop and sales of mass produced lifestyle junk. Buy this plastic meditation stone to show everyone how unattached you are! Guaranteed to raise your vibrations!

Participating in mutual aid communities is healing me in ways I never thought possible. If you are feeling disheartened with the state of the world I promise banding together with neighbors to feed each other will fill your heart. There are so many beautiful kind people in this world 💖

If you want a more trustworthy internet, beware of being COMPELLED to reply to people on social media. Emotional manipulation is great for getting people to signal boost someone with an agenda that could be harmful to what you value. Or provide traffic for the platform.
