They’re both so overrated.

Chopin, Liszt, and Debussy are where it’s at.

I dipped my toe into DMing once and found myself getting bogged down in details and confusing myself with how to describe pathways and travel.

This node method seems like a good way to abstract out the world to make PCs, NPCs, and areas easier to keep track of. The streets don’t really matter unless you want a certain street to matter for narrative or exploration reasons.

If I ever get around to finding another group, I’ll take this into account when designing.

“When I get into office, the first thing we have to do, social media companies, they have to show America their algorithm,” Haley said during an interview with Fox News Tuesday. “Let us see why they’re pushing what they’re pushing.”

I personally like Argon a lot.

Radon kinda looks like a fancy Comic Sans

I left reddit for like two weeks before joining lemmy.

I felt like I wasn’t so attached to my phone anymore.

Then I downloaded Sync for lemmy knowing full well that I’d end up addicted again… The internet is the hardest habit to break.

Just have to dodge roll at the right time. Easy.

I pay for YouTube and I think people need to stop complaining so much about ads if they’re not willing to support the infrastructure or the creators they likely watch hours and hours of content from.

I also think Google is charging too much and should decouple music from videos, but that’s another subject.

This is a dumb take. Being behind a paywall means it’s not controlled by Google and its ad network.

Are these webpages and people just supposed to work for free?

What annoys me most is that you’ll get that product carousel at the top of sponsored products that aren’t what you want, then 3 or 4 results of sponsored links, then maybe you get the actual thing in the 5th real result.

It’s a really bad search experience.

Yeah, and a person could make something in the style of someone else. And it would only be copyright infringement if the work does not meaningfully change the original and give credit to the original artist.

How is this any different?

I’d bet my left nut that games like Resident Evil aren’t why mobile gaming makes so much money. It’s those ridiculous F2P gem and city building games that have so many opportunities to buy coins that people get addicted.

So this is a search aggregator that searches across the main sites? And they’re hosted by individuals and I can create my own instance if I want?

That’s actually real cool

I don’t see why this would be harmful to them. At the least, I could see that console sales drop for the next year while people wait for the refresh, but otherwise there shouldn’t be any consumer impact.

Although, the main thing they’re probably upset about is that people know their desire to buy Nintendo, which is a really bad look. I doubt that would get past anti-trust lawsuits anyway.

I’ll take a “Y’all” over “Yous Guys” any day.

"AI taking over creativity? Seriously? This whole AI hype is just killing the soul of art and expression. Yeah, sure, it can mimic famous artists or churn out music, but it’s like a robot trying to dance - technically perfect but utterly devoid of soul.

Remember when art was about the struggle, the human experience, and raw emotion? Now it’s all about algorithms and data. We’re trading the genuine human touch for artificial perfection, and it’s a tragedy.

And don’t even get me started on those algorithms that personalize everything for us. They’ve turned the internet into an echo chamber where we’re only fed what we already like. How are we supposed to discover new and groundbreaking ideas when AI keeps us in this cozy little bubble?

Sure, AI can assist in some creative tasks, but we’re at risk of losing the very essence of creativity in the process. We need to keep our creative skills sharp, not let AI do all the heavy lifting. Let’s remember that art and creativity are about the human experience, not just the end product."

Do your blue light filtering glasses have magnification? Because magnification can definitely reduce eye strain by helping your eyes relax on close screens.

I wish news outlets would just refuse to call it X and continue to call it Twitter. They’re giving the stupid idea legitimacy and Musk doesn’t need or deserve that.

No, they’re owned by Vox Media who is owned by Comcast.

Edit: Comcast/NBCUniversal just has investments in Vox, they’re not owners.
