Can you acquire a gun that shoots more guns?
Yesss!!
Fantastic news. Now Whoopi Goldberg can play.
Agreed. It feels like a bunch of people broadcasting to the void with megaphones. Threaded forums are 100x better
I was watching Weather West on YouTube, who said coastal Southern California hadn’t seen a tropical storm landing since 1939
I’m from the area. Another “fun” fact I saw on KGW News this morning:
The six hottest August overnight lows have all been in 2021-2023. Last night’s tied the 73 record for the day. The hottest low ever was during the 2021 heat dome where it only got down to 75 overnight (in June)
Battlestar Galactica (the reboot
Thanks for reminding me. I need to re-watch that sometime.
Good. I remember it being shitty when I was forced to use it at a company a couple years ago
What holds up to re-watches?
I’m just here for the thumbnail
Extreme weather fuelled by climate crisis and bacterial disease have led to ‘dramatic decline’ in orange crops
Industry figures said US orange production would reach its lowest level for more than a century.
The priorities on this planet are bizarre. They’re spending 480,000 hours investigating people for trying to… protect what we have left? 🤦♂️
“ human civilization will achieve a steady-state economy one way or another. Either we will plan for it and execute a plan that takes us as a global society on average down to a fraction of what we consume today. Or, nature will take its course and we will collapse down to a steady-state level of consumption”
This isn't unique to video games*. It can happen with anything that you spend a ton of time on, and either burn out on or start to develop more refined taste in. I've had it happen with:
- novels
- board games
- movies
- people
You start to see patterns, tropes, or just plain get burnt out on something. It's a sign you either need to take a break, or that your tastes have simply become refined enough that you require a higher bar to find something interesting.
I'm in my 40s and definitely don't play games as much as I used to. But there are still times I get sucked in and have a great time. Most recent example: Cosmoteer, a spaceship building game with loads of freedom and creativity. I'm also looking forward to the Factorio DLC and the Dyson Sphere Program combat update.
Edit: case in point that I can still get excited about games: I finally tried Shadows of Doubt and, wow, what an interesting game. It's like a Deus Ex shadowy sneak-around world with detailed voxel simulation.

Did you ever have that feeling on reddit of "I better word my post just right, otherwise AutoMod will take it down"? Some subs had such strict auto moderating that it was a crap shoot to post something. Not so here. I know there's value in moderation, and I'm sure Lemmy/kbin/etc. will add more of it with time. But, for now, it was just nice to not be nervous when I was submitting a post here.
