It has to be either Elden Ring or Baldur’s Gate 3.

I prefer how information dense and responsive steam is.

Epic is laggy, logs me out constantly, and is inefficiently organized (at least by default). I don’t want to scroll through cards or change my sorting filters/layout each time I want to find something. When I open steam, it has a permanent tab that says LIBRARY at the top, and when I click on that, it gives me a massive scrollable list of my games, defaulting to A-Z. Simple is better.

Plus, user reviews are really nice to have when considering dropping $ on something.

This is the way.

Social media will jump from one super important and stressful thing that we all need to lose sleep over to the next with or without us. Yes, these things might be important, but a lot of online activism seems to be about who can scare more people into supporting X, Y, or Z with zero regard for the reader’s mental health, the rhetoric used, or even being 100% factual.

It doesn’t hurt to disengage every so often.

I try to watch what I read online, and it truly helps.

Do:

• Keep yourself informed by reading bland articles about climate studies with direct interviews from the scientists conducting them.

• Stay knowledgeable about who to vote for to support reasonable climate policies.

Do NOT:

• Read articles that inject opinions from the web journalist, terrifyingly worded headlines designed to get you to click, or anything written for a secondary purpose (e.g. voter mobilization).

• Get your info 2nd, 3rd, or 4th hand from social media personalities on tiktok, youtube, twitter, or any website with an algorithm than rewards the most extreme takes with more engagement.

• Let fear prevent you from living the life you want to live or making long term plans.

Am I getting my hopes up for nothing? =(

The pen?! Damn, that’s impressive.

The one I might use is a an old Galaxy Note. I wonder if I’ll have similar luck.

Whoa, I don’t know why I’ve never considered Linux on a tablet. I have a couple that are gathering dust in a closet, and if this is doable, it sounds like a fun project!

I love that he called it “vger”

I mean, probably Linux at some point. I’ve dipped my toes in as a complete novice, but I expect I’ll take the full dive eventually.

This user is just the latest in a series of spammers since Lemmy has grown in popularity. It’s hard to tell if they have some vendetta against the platform or are just maladjusted and want to annoy people having a good time.

As someone who posts across Lemmy a lot, I am usually made aware of the spammers almost immediately, because my inbox will be full of the same spam comment replies all at once. I just report them up to the various instances when I see it.

There are problems in the world, but it’s important to remember that both news and social media get way more engagement when showing you doom and outrage, so the most extreme takes rise to the top.

It’s good to be informed, but don’t let the doomsaying scare you out of living your life.

It’s important to remember that you don’t owe it to anyone to engage in a comment fight. If someone decides to be grouchy and try to pull you into an argument, you can just ignore it and move on with your day.

I post a lot of memes across Lemmy, and you’d be surprised (or maybe not) how often someone goes out of their way to be upset and attempt to bait me or others into arguing with them. I think some people just enjoy being mad, but I’m not one of them, so I’ve decided that it’s not worth the mental energy to engage with that.

If I had seen it posted, I would have held off. I’m not subbed to every community on this instance if you saw it somewhere else.

Is this higher quality than just screenshotting and dragging the box around it? Asking for a friend.

It’s a meta meme, playing off of the format that usually has people doing something silly before the time something was invented. But it’s backwards because it’s BC.

Examples:

Lol, the joke is just that this is the inverse of how this meme usually works, since counting backwards in BC is forward in time.

Woo, awesome!

Oh yeah, I’m always excited to see him show up.

Same. But also lots of Lemmy. And a horde of saved memes.
