I was going to immediately mention Hollow Knight but I see someone already did. Second thought: Tunic. It’s been a long time since a game hit me as hard as those two.

For pure fun addictive gaming: Factorio is absolutely nuts. 2D survival craft platforming action: Terraria is still king.

For space empire building check out X4: Foundations, after almost 10 years under development it’s absolutely amazing (but a huge timesink haha)

Oh and if you’re into semi-hard-scifi basebuilding you could give Stationeers a look. Sunk quite some hours into that one.

You might not give a shit but the American elections are going to have a huge impact no matter where you live. It’s world news. And yeah there’s a lot of nonsense news about the US elections but there’s plenty of nonsense news elsewhere too. Why not start a lemmy community specifically about non-US news if you feel that’s lacking?

I think this is exactly what I’d like to change about Lemmy’s culture, the same thing that happened (more extreme) to Reddit.

The guy above you made a stupid remark. Then you come along and say to yourself “I bet I can out-asshole this guy, let me write something equally asinine and insulting, that will raise the level of this discussion” The same lame brained tit-for-tat bullshit that destroys our political debate.

My girlfriend lies on my right arm, so she’s on the right side of the bed and I’m on the left.

Might be an unpopular take but… maybe being good at high school math tests is not really such an important gift in the real world.

What will keep you safe is not selling your business to a mega corp.

Was I a good processor?

No one ever mentions the MSX. Best of the 8 bit generation as far as I’m concerned, scrolling purists be damned.

Shareholders: you doubled your profit last year, so I expect you to do it again this year.

Man seeing those graphs, all I can say is thank god for women.

Pretty sure excessive phone use leads to this kind of doomerism so might not be a bad idea to force kids to touch some grass.

Free (as in beer) is never free

Haven’t seen it myself but because Lemmy has a relatively small user base it’s fairly easy to just flood it with content and have a significant portion show up on the front page. If you’re seeing a sudden influx of a specific type of meme, my guess is that’s just someone sending a lot of the same kind of content ar once.

Mainly because my Windows license is an OEM one that won’t move to the “new hardware” :/

I mean take the average media literacy of the relatively younger folks on Reddit (atrocious) and then realize that those are incredibly tech savvy compared to FB’s audience.

Much as I love TNG, Babylon 5 > Star Trek, don’t bother trying to change my mind.

Well once person out of about 100 that understands this is not about defending slavery. Jesus Christ I thought the level on Lemmy was supposed to be a bit better than Reddit but it’s the same ridiculous circle jerk.

Yeah? Not the endless holier than thou circle jerk? Feels like peak reddit to me.
