I have a similar issue… I have done slightly more than nothing, I really struggle trying to think of small projects that actually work for me.

The few things I’ve done I stop at a certain point because I have no motivation for the actual content* or there are platform* issues. One thing I made was maybe usable but was likely too much** of a time sink for me.

Though I keep trying other things hoping enough pieces fit that I can think of something.

EDIT: I don’t know if it is any help but what I’ve mentioned were text formats+loaders.

It is a free and easy way to experience 75% of the experience without even downloading it (data bloat has massively ballooned too, perhaps needlessly in some cases). Also linear stories, or procedural things not being as deep as they seem.

Even when it comes to indie-appearing stuff I often don’t like the direction of the game design/difficulty, so it will likely be a more enjoyable experience in those cases too. The narrator also cuts boring bits or issues, also may do things I would not especially when it comes to skill or knowledge of said game. They may do silly things or tell a story. This may be 300% experience (of a new mix).

EDIT: Also never really been into the idea of multiplayer games, competitive or cooperative for different reasons. So watching is a new avenue for that.

It’s probably that you have a similar or even shared microbiome. Similar living conditions, or maybe your vibes/rythms just sync up over time.

Nintendo has increasingly become a problem over the last decade

Of the other related videos, one by Knowledge Husk (7FWyhlS3kvc) points to the CEOs being an issue and that they just had one (1) good CEO: Satoru Iwata (particularly because he was a computer scientist who was pro-consumer).

Now I doubt Nintendo was fully non-evil in 2002-2015 (considering Nintendo actions with 2010s-era Youtube) but I’m sure it was probably the better side of Nintendo.

I am on Lemmy, OP is not: https://kbin.melroy.org/u/Pyrin

Nintendo.

Not just crushing fan games, but also issues with the Smash bros community, pricing and availability, eshops shutting down (+needing to buy those games again on new consoles or it’s not even available at start), stick drift, fan content policy, also Youtube strikes/claims (both newer for specific reasons and an entire era for let’s plays in general). 20 years of content removed from Gmod.

And no this isn’t about Japanese law, they choose to be this way.

For actual specifics (and more issues) 2 videos: UKD_wnB9AMU and xgKY9hmbfgo

I check a lot of those boxes but have never had many points on most websites. The difference I think is that I don’t often make posts/threads (comments alone usually don’t get as many views/points, posts may get thousands of points).

Those with the most points often make posts multiple times an hour (often a dozen posts in a day) particularly if they become “known” for some theme/gimmick (which may add to ego). Also at that point they likely have parasocial users backing up their ego and buffoonery.

I don’t know if any of those “no life” people are behind this or not. I suspect people posting like this, especially when it is blog-like (their job, some other interaction) are likely normal outgoing people who just have their phone with them to post whenever they have a spare moment. It may even be a similar archetype to “influencer” (one unlikely to show their face) especially if they are saving many things ahead of time to post later. That, and the inevitable monetization even if it’s just gifts/favors from strangers.

If you go to their instance you’ll see that is does list it in users’ profiles (Reputation points).

Why are you the way that you are?

(And why is your account all tech and now… this?)

Assuming the law doesn’t mandate their desired beliefs, I am still waiting for the video of red-faced yelling at a school-board meeting after the tiniest mention (or perhaps a poorly-printed picture of the cover) of the Qur’an.

Healthcare plans are on a yearly schedule. So if you hit your max OoP very late in the year (like now), on Jan 1st it will reset back to 0 and now you need to fill your perhaps $3K deductible again for ongoing treatment.

Just to add, there seems to be some issue with thumbnails on .cafe, from the admin:

Yes, there’s clearly some problem with the change introduced in lemmy 0.19.7 where thumbnail generation was changed to force a smaller size (and potentially something else). Still not entirely sure which part - lemmy or pict-rs - is misbehaving, but working on both fronts trying to find the culprit. Nothing so far, unfortunately

So currently, most new posts don’t have an icon.

If the diagnosis and start of the bills was recent, it’d mean doubling it as soon as the next year rolls around.

You got scammed, bro. 4-stroke lungs are a much better deal. (uni-directional breathing, air sacs before/after lungs. birds, crocodiles, dinosaurs)

If it wasn’t clear, I am talking about physical preservation (not “uploading”, as I know that would be a copy).

Yeah, I am at the point a med-sci student could convince me to let them attempt to preserve my brain.

My life now is such that life in a VR* network ran by non-profit scientists in the future would be an improvement. Though I would like to have options for existence, so long as homeostasis is not an issue (ideally organic and symbiotic systems rather than fully tech). Toasters should get to enjoy nature once-in-a-while, too.

*= Which maybe you could say is Virtual Retirement

The problem I have is that preventing euthanasia does not mean there will be a significant effort to reduce the desire for it in the first place. If anything, I would say there are also perverse incentives (particularly in the US) for not allowing people to have that choice (also leaving isn’t really viable for many suffering either). Ideally using those choices would push a government for some changes… although I know it probably would not fix malice, greed, or incompetence etc.

Personally I would take a chance to test (physical, cheap) brain preservation if it were an option (esp. if I could set some revival conditions/scenarios). I know there would be no guarantee, though it is the tiniest step up from non-existence and I do think it should make some difference in the tone.

They need to change the likeness a little.

Elo, who? What? Nooo, he’s… uhh… Æléon 3000! Does it at all resemble a real set of events that happened? I sure hope not, that’d be an interesting coincidence.

Seems a bit odd to have so much standard, correct-era tech. Having anachronism seems like the point, the futurism bit. Like Quadrilateral Cowboy, or often Cowboy Bebop.

The one exception may be the stuff like that Nissan 300ZX (1985) digital dashboard, that feels anachronistic in an entirely different way. I could imagine a 3hr video essay on how expensive the design was, or perhaps a Technology Connections breakdown of the functionality/workings/issues etc.

I’m hoping more for brain preservation (non-upload, lower cost like chemical fixation+non-cryo). Get me out of here.
