“Dopamine Nation” is a good book on this whole issue. I really wonder how much the dead internet theory might play a role in eventually breaking this cycle, or just younger generations being contrarian to older generations.
I stream on https://twitch.tv/imperorthefirst and run https://www.youtube.com/@Imperor dedicated to longform gameplay of grand strategy, 4X and TTRPG games. My main goal is helping people get into more complex games!

Imperor@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Applause heard as Zelensky arrives for Pope Francis' funeralEnglish51·3 months agoGood.
Imperor@lemmy.worldOPto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Switching to Linux Mint in 2025 - YouTubeEnglish3·3 months agoThank you, appreciate it! Added the link to the body of it, too.
Imperor@lemmy.worldOPto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Switching to Linux Mint in 2025 - YouTubeEnglish21·3 months agoHey, I don’t quite understand your point. It’s entirely about the process and thoughts around migrating to Linux from the point of view of someone who has never attempted it. It’s about adaptation. If it does not fit the sub, I do apologize for crossposting here and will not do so in the future.
Imperor@lemmy.worldOPto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Switching to Linux Mint in 2025 - YouTubeEnglish3·3 months agoI posted the link in the original post, seems to have gotten lost, sorry. As others have said, it’s a video essay where I talk about the experience of it.
I do apologise if that doesn’t fit this sub. I had to fight a bit through stuff because I game and stream and that was what held me back from attempting it in the first place. Here’s the link :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoYW6HEVBCI
Imperor@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Warcraft 1 and 2 Remastered and the long-awaited 2.0 patch update for Warcraft 3: Reforged have just launched on PC for Warcraft's 30th anniversaryEnglish111·8 months agoIf the remastered versions add modern controls that’d be super. It’s the main gripe I have with the older games besides low resolutions.
Imperor@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•An excess of billionaires is destabilising politics – just as academics predictedEnglish25·8 months agoI truly believe the world would be a much better place if there was a clear cutoff for wealth. But of course, there would still be weasles out there circumventing such measures. Greed is such an incredibly harmful thing.
Not a single redeeming thing about billionaires. Not a single one. Their “philanthropy” would be entirely unneeded, if they simply paid their fair share back to society, without which they wouldn’t have what they have in the first place.
Imperor@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Putin seizes $100m from Google to fund Russia’s war machine (in 2020)English8·11 months agoSadly they did not kick his ass. They sort of settled in the end, but they lost their special status and self governance stuff to a board controlled by DeSantis but he put a few pro Disney faces on that board to get it all to settle. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_v._DeSantis
Imperor@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Putin seizes $100m from Google to fund Russia’s war machine (in 2020)English175·11 months agoI don’t know. Disney lost against Ron DeSantis on home turf. Not quite sure what they are going to do against a foreign actor.
Imperor@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I realize I may get some divisive answers, but if NATO Countries all agreed, mobilized, and went into Russia full force with no warning, what are the likely outcomes?English1·11 months agoThe US and the USSR engaged in a race to have the most nukes. After the fall of the Sowjet Union international treaties were put in place to reduce the number of nukes in both east and west.
Don’t quote me, but if I remember correctly, at the height of the cold war, both sides had more than 12.000 nukes each.
Humanity had enough fire power to delete the entire globe roughly 40x over then. Why? Because bigger is better.
Imperor@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Dutch beach volleyball player convicted of rape says he considered quitting the OlympicsEnglish39·11 months agoAh yes, the rapist doesn’t want others to have power over him. Who would have guessed. Fuck him and fuck the panel that decided he could ever join.
Imperor@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump and Harris agree to debate on ABC on September 10, network saysEnglish9·11 months agoBecause Trump is being his usual weasly self trying to have “debates” on his home turf before the debate he initially agreed on to have with Biden.
Like there is ever a mystery with trump.
Imperor@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Boeing Starliner astronauts might get a ride home from SpaceX — in 2025English26·11 months agodeleted by creator
Imperor@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Decentralised YouTube alternative Odysee no longer serving adsEnglish3·11 months agoHonestly, I might just have to think about getting into that type if thing. I am not one for editing anyway.
Imperor@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Decentralised YouTube alternative Odysee no longer serving adsEnglish4·11 months agoThanks for checking :D that is pretty cool.
Imperor@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Decentralised YouTube alternative Odysee no longer serving adsEnglish181·11 months agoI mirror my stuff from youtube over there and I do not fall into these categories. To be fair, I have the tiniest of audiences anyway, so… doesn’t really matter either way.
Haven’t checked in on Odyssee for a while though. Not sure if the auto mirror thing still works.
Imperor@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•‘It made me cry’: photos taken 15 years apart show melting Swiss glaciersEnglish792·11 months agoDon’t worry. Some people I know can still go skiing, so clearly it’s all fake and a non-issue.
Imperor@lemmy.worldto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that you can run your own Twitch alternative with Owncast.English7·11 months agoI stream on twitch. Can you multi stream and mirror chat from owncast to twitch and vice versa?
Imperor@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Samsung’s 20-year-life EV battery runs 600 miles on 9-minute chargeEnglish16·11 months agoTotally with you, but tire dust is one of the major pollution particles from cars, maybe even the worst AFAIK. That, sadly will not go away but it is still leagues more desireable to have everything on electric than fossil fuel. Can’t have perfect stop good enough.
This AR obsession is utterly baffling to me. There are so few real applications and the hardware requirements are insane so it’s not something that will get widely adapted anyway. Sure in a decade or so it might have matured enough to have shed all these issues, but AR/VR feels like a really out of touch thing to prusue, especially if you look at the garbage ideas they have on how to use it - virtual meetings??
I get movies and games on these, possibly even some recording and porn, but these are not their B2B wet dreams anyway.
