Lmao Trump doesn’t even have his own golf course on his private estate? Didn’t he realize he was such a poor

AI translations get worse when you consider that they get put right into the page so you’re more likely to assume it’s accurate than, say, Google translate or browser translation where it’s obvious a computer did it

I love survival crafting games but Don’t Starve is a bit too punishing for me. I gave it 20 hours of attempts before giving up.

Things can fall apart so fast and so easily and like you said, they just throw you to the wolves to figure it out or die

Good to know, thanks for the info

Sounds like we have the same diagnosis. Had no idea for the longest time because I thought OCD only described compulsive physical behavior like hand washing and light switches. But nope, thoughts count behavior, too.

I don’t have any words of encouragement or anything but I get your struggle. I see you.

Gotta be one of the most reddit comments I’ve ever seen on Lemmy

I don’t think you understand how journalism works.

It doesn’t sound like you’ll ever enjoy live music but let me help you understand the many appealing things to me as someone who does: Drugs. Just kidding, you can do those at home, too.

Anyway, first off “cleaner” doesn’t necessarily mean better because music is very subjective. There are songs I’ve thought I didn’t like until I saw them live…turns out I just didn’t like the album version. Live audio also depends heavily on who is running the board. I’ve been to shows that sounded so good I focused on the instruments to confirm they werent just playing an mp3.

It’s a rendition but there’s a million ways to play a song. And sometimes the enjoyment is just hearing an artist play the song differently.

Then there’s the energy. I don’t really dance and generally avoid crowds but there’s something about everyone being all hyped for the same thing that’s just…energetic. Then add to that the music physically synchronizing everyone, it’s great. It’s a real feeling of “oneness”, like the crowd is one big animal. And that energy feeds the artists making for an even better performance

And the “live” aspect can’t be discounted. You might hear a new song, you might hear a cover, you might hear a deep cut from their first EP! They might play a bizarre interlude that confuses you until it all comes together into a song you know! A lot of artists interact with the crowd in fun ways, too.

Damn now I want to go to a show but I don’t have tickets until May

Do you think this is a good analogy

I’m a physically masculine straight guy who never cared about boy vs girl hobbies and spent most of my childhood having everyone think I was gay. I liked the color pink and puppies and collecting stickers

I met my first trans person in college but it wasn’t until it became a political talking point years later that I really reflected on my youth. I was left with some uncomfortable feelings about what might have happened if I was born 20 years later. I am not trans but would I have talked myself into thinking I was a girl? I was impressionable as hell and also online.

My comment was in support of the store. The software’s free, this is how you can “pay for it”

The software’s free, bud.

I was looking forward to Ghost of Yotei but I’m not paying $500 to play it, sorry.

Pretty soon, Xbox will move to Windows, the Steam Machine will have PC manufacturers making their own versions, Nintendo will continue to lead the kid-friendly market with their hybrid devices, and Sony will be the last company selling traditional consoles.

Of the people who’ve expressed interest in a 2028 run, I’d take Buttigieg or Kelly over Newson any day. Of the speculated candidates, AOC over all 3. Pritzker over Newson, too.

I’m not an Apple user and agree that they’re overpriced BUT their studio displays have always been really, really good. Easily some of the best on the market.

If you’re doing design work, a $100 Dell office monitor isn’t gonna cut it. And you pay out the ass for accurate color no matter who you buy from

It changes it for me because I know they had good source material they abandoned lol

I think it was still a fun site through at least the first Place so I’d say peak was post-Digg

I think it’ll have an effect. I’ve only used chatgpt and copilot for some LISP routines and excel macros but from the people I know who use them a lot more, chatgpt SUUUCCCKKKSSS and this might convince people to at least check out the competitors and see how much better they are

I’d say it was overall pretttyyy weak. Like 5/10 if you didn’t watch the original, 3/10 if you did. It felt very Hollywood to me and not in a good way. Everything was so… polished. It didn’t feel like I was following a scrappy crew of misfits

I thought outside of Becky, the casting wasn’t great. The UK Jessica Hyde was soooo off-putting and unhinged, the US Jessica was just…brooding and mean. I don’t even remember Arby.

The pacing was too fast. They added too much stuff and packed it all into one season.

But it was the plot changes were what really killed it for me. Why change the purpose of the conspiracy? Why get rid of Carvel (who made for some of the best scenes in the original)?

Sorry for the rant, the original is one of my favorite shows and the remake really let me down lol

If you feel that way, it’s even weirder that you’re enthusiastically recommending this show lol

It was great until season 7, which was meh, in my opinion. I have nothing good to say about season 8
