Their discless gaming consoles that rely entirely on subscriptions like this were a lousy idea, streaming works for movies but not for console games. Nowadays digital console media takes up so much storage space, my 1TB discless xbox one can only ever have 10 games installed at any given time. And that’s not considering the updates that take literal hours being released every other day at this point. If those green discs ain’t broke then don’t fix them. I can’t wait to save up for a switch, that’s where all the fun games are anyway
It makes me happy to see more of my fellow Americans’ chess channels getting popular, and that chess here isn’t just for the Desis, east Asians and Russian defectors anymore
Yeah I agree, its user count is still growing on .world alone, and so fast in fact that I’m starting to consider making my sopuli alt my main account to not add to the load.
Meant to buy one with my last PC, but it was during covid and prices were outrageous. Someone told me they have dropped a bit since, so I’m interested in adding one to my desktop machine. What are you using and how is it working for your Minecraft setup?
I believe the two portals in the overworld have to be under 128 blocks apart total and also should be at least 8 blocks apart horizontally. I just used some simple 3D coodinate math and built the one in the nether at the midpoint....
I was at first excited when he talked about Mars, but now that I know he can’t even run a social media platform I definitely wouldn’t wanna trust him with my life
And as for terraforming Mars, all we have to do is do what we’re doing here: Warm it with CO2 emissions. All it takes is a little atmospheric thickening to vaporize its glaciers of dry ice and already spawn a few surface brine lakes using its existing water table (the underground hypersaline ice partially melts each summer), then just get a bunch of comets to burn up in its atmosphere for the oceans and put an artificial magnetic field at its Lagrange point and turn all that atmospheric CO2 into oxygen with giant vats of cyanobacteria (which are what naturally terraformed Earth billions of years ago)
And we can terraform Venus using future tech we might develop to reverse climate change here, like giant orbital parasols, reflective dust and carbon capture
I’ve subscribed to a plethora of communities that really interest me and actually have posts and discussions in them, but I have to go to the specific community to see this. My “Subscribed” feed only contains a few of the same posts that I’ve seen for weeks in Hot, the same posts from even longer ago in “Active”,...
No wonder everything on the hivemind-that-must-not-be-named sounds and feels like it’s being regurgitated by the same people, from the low-effort memes to the armchair city planners, atheist circlejerks and very enlightened political/economic views.
That’s also my case, open-world games that are actually open-world. Mostly Minecraft. And I’ve tried FPS games, they’re too hard for me and I die too much in them. (And in most of them these days the “meta” changes every 3 milliseconds so strategy is impossible)
That, and online chess, though I have ADHD so I’m restricted to the really long time controls like 15 minutes with 10-second increment and therefore stand no chance against 90% of players I meet IRL and friend on chess.com since nobody wants to play anything longer than blitz these days and they always insist on 3 minutes unless I randomly challenge some complete stranger who often doesn’t even live in my home country. Of the many 3-minute “blitz” games I’ve embarrassed myself in, both online and IRL, only in like 5 did I last more than 15 moves, only in 3 did I not lose on time and and only in one did I actually win.
There are some with very specific purposes/nationalities (like lemmynsfw, lemmy.ca, and one Portuguese-only one for people from Portugal) that somewhat resemble the porn subs and the country-themed subreddits like r/canada and r/suddenlycaralho respectively.
AsI understand it someone is paying for me to use this so should I try to limit my time here to keep their costs down? Should I avoid leaving it open casually? Is there a way to support instances that I enjoy?
Yeah, it’s not sustainable to just flock to one instance to the point of there being no real competition. Lemmy.world now hosts nearly 3 times as many user accounts as lemmy.ml- the second-largest instance and a much older one too, and has gotten big way too fast.
Goals are to collect the means to produce every wood type (including both nether ones and the recently-added bamboo one), and build a few resource farms
It’s somewhat harder to find friends on there, but once you do they’ll be quality over quantity. And besides, they even have a cool poll-based RPG account.
If you post it they will come. (But you’ll have to guess my profile, it existed prior to my discovery of lemmy so I didn’t register using my lemmy.world account)
I originally chose to make my account on lemmy.world since all the content seemed to come from there. But I’ve since learned that I can fill my feed with stuff from any instance so it feels like it doesn’t actually matter if I’m on lemmy.world or not. At the same time, Lemmy.world seems to be frequently under attack so...
I’ve been having intermittent issue accessing lemmy.world today. Seems to be working fine through Voyager on my phone, but my still unable to access via my desktop.
Was still using it logged out for NSFW subreddits but they’ve finally blocked access via RiF. I guess I have a problem, had to browse certain subs every day, but you know what this may be cathartic. Now I have no reason to go to Reddit and will save myself some time. I also deleted my main account so can’t discuss anything...
Or pornhub, known for its nice, civil comments that, unlike youtube’s, don’t degrade the stars, impersonate them in “call me on telegram for a giveaway!!1” bot scams or screech very imaginative Russian compliments at people with their caps lock keys for putting 2 colors in one’s pfp- because it’s 18+ so no 13-yo’s allowed.
