a little while ago a kid and I talked lenghthily on Rocket League. We hit it off pretty good in-game, good team. He vented about one issue and it led us into a conversation about neurodivergence. I hope he’s alright
wow ! I knew the world was flat and under a dome, but I had no idea Jesus was literally on top. Thanks for completing my world view 😂 I’ve had crazy exchanges with some of these people but I have yet to meet any IRL. I guess they don’t hang out where I live
I use a Wacom tablet in place of a mouse (for work, and because I get serious arm pain after about ~30mn of using a mouse) and while it has a “touch ring”, it requires me to let go of the stylus and it’s not very sensitive at all, making for a poor replacement of a mouse wheel. Some time ago I got myself a macropad with big rotary knobs and they do the job, but for years I relied on scrollbars.
Exactly ! this makes the problem potentially millions of times easier, since you know with certainty that every ray fired is going to contribute to the image, whereas firing rays from the light source would guarantee you never see most of them, the processing power is wasted and your image never converges
Nowadays I find a lot of games feel like too much work and/or anxiety when I just want to relax for like, 30 minutes to an hour after a long day. On the other hand, the games specifically designed to help you unwind just feel boring imo....
I’ve just started Snake Pass and it’s a no bullshit old-style puzzle platformer (think PS1 platformers such as Croc, Crash Bandicoot or Rayman) with a unique movement mechanic that feels very chill. There’s little in the way of worldbuilding though
I’ll start. Apt next door is having a cockroach infected. 4 days ago, I was playing sims on my laptop, wearing my eyeglasses. Right lens got blurry, took off, huge cockroach was crawling across inside of lens. While I was wearing them. Freak out ensued.
the fifth ? are you sure ? it’s a little old-school, evokes holy music… I would go for the third and the seventh instead, just to shake things up. Cops aren’t used to daring chords like these, you’d totally destabilize them and they wouldn’t be able to jail you
The bourgeoisie in my country have pushed the euphemism of “working capital” as something that needs protection from wealth tax. By inseparably connecting capital with jobs, they push the narrative that you cannot tax wealth without removing jobs and consequently hurting the working class. They paid for research groups to...
That’s an excellent question and there are so many. The most recent and prevalent has to be “la valeur travail”, the work value or the work virtue I guess are closest -but it really is untranslatable because it is deliberately so fuzzy. The bourgeoisie is trying hard to turn it into a sort of national and personal pride, to sugarcoat labor until people are begging to be let in on it.
In the main quest, last thing I did is I met the heavylifting dude chilling alone in his tiny orbiting station. Tbf I mainly did freeform exploration (going from planet to planet), played for about 20hrs total and got bored repeating the same actions over and over
I’m sure I’m missing most of the story mine and I realize it’s a shame but the strings showing everywhere killed the fun for me. Thanks for the feedback, perhaps some day I’ll pick it up again
