  • Anyway, anyone else playing Silksong?

    I tried with HK and gave up after going over halfway through, taking a break, and getting slaughtered repeatedly upon the skills drop from the break. I have since learned that I'm no masochist and prefer my max health solidly in the double or triple digits (if the game has health at all).

  • I'm wasting my time.

    Two sides come to mind:

    Remember that productivity is at its peak with life satisfaction as well; we need relaxation and breaks, even if they must be scheduled at times, to maintain long-term productivity. We're not emotionless robots.

    On the other hand, it's totally fine to feel phases when gaming isn't currently for you. Digging into a skill-based craft (pottery, cooking, music-making, etc.), exercising while watching TV & film, or even writing scripts is all fine as well, if not maybe even preferable. For me, I went through a time when the majority of my gaming was casual, turn-based, multiplayer board games with friends over voice chat, mostly just to have fun with and catch up with said friends almost more than the actual games (which include a range of both co-op and competitive titles). I've also generally gotten hyper-picky with games and how I spend my time; Lemmy posts are just as interesting as many games, or tinkering with the programs Espanso, Syncthing, etc. There is nothing wrong with leaving gaming due to a lack of personal interest, even if you were a hardcore gamer before or whatever. I can't even visit my favorites from before, but I find immense joy in watching a friend play through any of them for their first time. There are all sorts of things we can do in life outside of our own direct playing of games. Some even get wanderlust and fly abroad... those weirdos (lol jk).

    I get tired of being me.

    If this has been going on for a while, and the above mindsets don't make a dent, it sounds like a trip carefully planned and actively supervised by a veteran psychonaut may be worthwhile. 🍄

  • Geez, as someone who has owned almost nothing but Priuses, "all" is a pretty glaringly wrong claim. I typically despise going past the speed limit (especially on freeways), much to the rage of other drivers. If it matters, this has always been my driving style since before getting into them.

  • A £500,000 project to improve the environment at Green Farm near Worcester has seen the return of many species of plants, animals and birds, with conservation work being funded by the National Lottery and Severn Waste Services.

    That was such a confusing article title that could have easily been clarified if it start with "Many."

  • it gets reshaped into something I don’t want

    It is bizarre that this happens so regularly to you. Could you go into detail, like at least 3 examples of this? What's going on?

  • If you don't embrace late-stage capitalism

    There, all better now.

  • Oh, what had he said?

  • Wow, okay, yeah, I'm seeing it in a browser but not on Summit. !summit@lemmy.world is really screwing up here; I'll mention it there, thanks.

  • Wait, you linked an article? I only see a 36-second video here; my bad.

  • Okay, um, what did that 36-sec video have to do with finding life on Mars? Did I miss something? It just said that NASA wants to colonize the moon, which will help us reach Mars.

    What's with your "aliens" clickbait title? Edit that out; this isn't Reddit, unless you're trying to drag Lemmy down.

    Never mind, I think I'm not getting the hang of Lenny's layout yet still..

  • Checking my car's air filters... fine, I'll go to it now...

  • Catch it with another hook to get the first one!

  • I'm not trying to be right; I'm trying to help you be right. I'm fine with immediately acknowledging whenever I'm wrong, and I'm certainly not trying to get anyone to just pee more (to preemptively clarify, now that I think about it). It is good of you to spread awareness of how people must work it off and not only change their diets. Good luck as well.

  • What country you're in also matters.

  • It's amazing how similar to wasp nests those middle ones look like...

  • Incredible! I had no idea this was going on; thanks for sharing!

  • Probably not, since there isn't really any other way to lose it, but we already knew this. Are you promoting your own channel or something?

  • Nice grab! Stay safe on the stroads!
