After many years, knowing all too well that it’s the kind of game that would have driven me crazy, I started Factorio. I am indeed struggling not to have it swallow my life whole.

I went very far with it but gave up because I was feeling quite fatigued. I think I’m a bit after the underwater (?) Highway. It’s a fine game but I don’t have the patience for that kind of grind and repetition anymore

Is this guy for real?

I’m using Boost for both Reddit and Lemmy, and as a quick glance on my phone they look identical. To be honest if I was to open a random thread and look at the comments I wouldn’t be able to tell where I am.

I’m not sure what you guys mean when you say that Lemmy feels different. If feels smaller but the same, in the good and bad.

And for 50 years instead of 5

No, it isn’t. Victim blaming is a thing, but there needs to be some limits or the concept loses any significance.

“Dress modestly when you go out else you get raped” is victim blaming.

“Don’t organise an international event in one the world’s most dangerous and war-ridden regions of the globe, literally a handful of Kms from a fence, armed checkpoints, and automated machine gun turrets” is reasonable common sense.

Kos, or some say Kosm

Throw as much money as possible into the best institutes for cancer research in the world, until cancer is cured.

Then, for myself, commission the best architects and contractors to have an absolutely exact replica of the Spencer Mansion built for me.

Annihilation is a good book, but the hype it got is much more due to:

• the fact that it arrived at the peak of the new wave of interest for Weird lit,

• its (again, very timely) environmental spin to weird fiction,

• the fact that Vandermeer worked a lot to present himself as THE authority on Weird fiction, with his articles, collections, prefaces to reissues of older books and so forth.

Exactly this. The cheese/pepper/water mix should have the density of thick yogurt, or peanut butter: in between so dense that will completely cling to your fork and so runny that will completely drip out of it.

God yes. Fuck shorts. That format should be banned from any platform

Better upgrade to SSD

Thank Christ for Jennifer Connelly

Nevermind YouTube, get to that later. Start reading Plato’s dialogues and Marcus Aurelius

Oh no, they are not means. They are retribution.

We should start cutting off heads right now tbh

RE1 HD remake (had played only about half of the GC one)

Such a wonderful game. For someone like me who grew up with the original, probably the best remake ever made. It’s the same, but so much better.

Oh, and Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle Earth 2. Possibly still the best RTS ever made. Change my mind.

So many words to say that you have a first-grade understanding of what an alternative to capitalism might look like

All of a sudden? Yeah, if over a century of critique counts as “all of a sudden”

It’s called “describing the reality of capitalist economy” not “being a communist”
