I’m still gonna take it though. Free is free.

XCOM, XCOM 2 (Strategy)

The balancing of risk/reward, tactics, and roster management spawned a whole genre. The newer XCOMs (Enemy Unknown/Within and War of the Chosen) are still so much fun.

Also, plugging /c/XCOM while I’m here.

This is possibly my biggest gripe about that whole mess.

And that’s ok.

And that’s ok.

I haven’t seen it yet, but I know that in the past when they’ve come back from cancellation, the first episode can been very meta and fan-servicey.

Bob Ross has no undo button. Bob Ross needs no undo button.

Either that or there are too many comments and I realize that no human is going to read it.

I love the game, but it’s hard to ignore the sleazy business model. Who is buying these $20-40 skins?

Am I out of touch? No, it’s the children who are wrong.

Browsers are cyclical like fashion, I guess.

Remember when chrome launched and they had all those commercials showing how fast it loaded webpages?

Game review for me is just skimming through the boring details and seeing what brilliant moves I somehow stumbled into like Mr. Magoo.

I relate to grandpa Simpson more and more every year.

This is most likely it. They sound like 2 different sites before you get here and realize how interconnected everything is.

Is that a bug? It would be helpful to see a total number sometimes.

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, this was unheard of before.

Also, it’s been 100 years. Can we shorten it again?

Why is youtube recommending conservative "talking points" to me?

Hi, I am a guy in early thirties with a wife and two kids and whenever I go on youtube it always suggests conservative things like guys dunking on women, ben shapiro reacting to some bullshit, joe rogan, all the works. I almost never allow it to go to that type of video and when I do it is either by accident or by curiosity. My...

My YouTube recommendations are usually spot on, but I do get Joe Rogan videos sometimes. I could see people sliding into radicalizing garbage easily from there. Rogan’s so big that he gets cool guests, but they’re wasted on him as a host.

That spoon analogy is a good one.

Lots of disorders are labeled differently, but they intermix symptoms and can influence one another, so it’s hard to get to the root, assuming it’s a single issue. Looking at ADHD as the root cause, lots of people develop anxiety centered around their performance, and ability to accomplish tasks. Also, lots of people with ADHD develop depressive symptoms like poor self-confidence and hope for the future.

I’d recommend letting your therapist know that you suspect ADHD is at the core of what you’re dealing with and you’d like to focus on specific habits and behavioral changes that you can make to cope with ADHD.

I’ve found that if you’re still cool with 1080p (I am), most games run fine on old hardware. For now, at least.

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world avatar

That seems incredibly reasonable.

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world avatar

That’s awesome that they took the bait. Lol

Good job, DM

Now you can play off that!

You could give them something that really seems like a trap, but is totally benign.

I thought I was going to stick around on desktop at least, but I’ve found myself using Lemmy instead. This is more fun.

I’m usually a lurker, but I decided to just go ahead and make one that I was missing. Something about personally wanting Lemmy to grow is motivating to me.

I made an XCOM community on Lemmy.world, and even though I’m the only one posting so far, it’s fun to watch the subscriber count grow. Already at 50!

The_Picard_Maneuver,

I don’t think I was that early, but I made my account about a week before the 3rd party shutdown. I’d imagine a bunch of others did too.

Thanks. Fingers crossed!

I’ll carry the torch! At this point I’m wondering if I’ve dodged it completely. Now let me go find some wood to knock on.
