8·14 days agoThe remastered copy on Steam let’s you speed up the game. It is much quicker running around at x4 speed and clearing random encounters. Then slow game speed to normal for major bosses and events. I would highly recommend this route rather than trying to find a PS2 again.
If you haven’t played FFX-2 or FFXII then those are worth checking out too.
Spider-Man Remastered - 80% completed the story and left it there. Lost interest. Didn’t see any point in exploring most abilities when a hand full of AoE enemy clearing abilities were so effective.
Guacamelee 2 I left close to the final boss and still think of it as one of the best games I ever played.
Cuphead - had plenty of fun, but lost interest in replaying bosses so many times over and over.
Eldest Souls - excellent game, but I took along break from it and when I came back I forgot how the mechanics and ability synergies worked out and felt like I was relearning it from scratch (except I was on advance and difficult bosses).
Overcooked 2 - my wife stopped making time to spend on the game and would rather watch TV together instead.
It Takes Two - my brother’s schedule never lined up with mine.
Sifu - got too difficult.
It works better the way you said it, if you really want to drive the point that this will be a dead duck for sure.

Good. This is how YouTube dies. This is how Google dies. This is how competitors/alternatives are born. Stop fighting to make Google services useable against every effort of theirs. Let them drive people away to make (or discover) alternatives.
No one will make money from that, so they’re not going to do it.

The other thing is to use filter lists extensively. I use Lemmy in the Boost Android app. My filter list is constantly being added to (Elon, Biden, Trump, Superbowl, Covid, etc). You’re in charge of making or finding the experience you want.
If the content is affecting you then find something else entirely. If detached from the live news cycle and watch science based YouTube channels, listen to podcasts of interest, read books and follow websites via RSS. If you don’t like it here then you don’t have to be here.
Why recommend Gnome as a windows alternative? Surely KDE is a much better option if you’re trying to make a windows user feel more familiar with the interface.
Privacy/no data mining is (frankly) a huge deal and a major problem in modern society is that this is not valued at all. To me, this is really analogous to the climate crisis in the sense that we’ve known about the impending climate crisis for decades and no one valued it till we got to the point of no return/crisis point. I really cannot emphasise enough what a big deal it is to value your data/information/privacy.
Other than that, Linux really is a functional OS and there will be other benefits like multiple desktop styles to choose from, the possibility to do more advanced things if you need to (if learn how), the OS is virus-free, better performance (because the computer doesn’t need to work so hard on your OS and can spend that energy on other things), giving life to old hardware that Windows no longer supports (and saving your money as well as the planet from thr e-waste), the importance of an alternative choice so the market is not monopolised by predator corporate giants. There will be loads more benefits, but those are a few to begin with.
It also has downsides (as mentioned above).
Completely agree with this point. OP sounds like they need to figure out their issues first. I don’t think any commitment should be made to any longterm course or career yet. Probably best to take an entry level job in any area of interest with the current qualifications and go from there. Develop a focus, develop and interest, know what to aim for.
542·1 month agoIt should be fine. You’ll have to be thorough in removing personal information. I would prioritise giving it to someone I know rather than a complete stranger.
Everyone else seems to be very concerned about the terms of service, but I don’t know why ToS is of utmost importance to everyone suddenly. Anyone would gladly share their streaming service passwords, would previously rip CDs or DVDs, use VPNs to circumvent porn restriction laws in their country, lied in sites/apps to sign up as a teen, etc…suddenly Steam ToS is somehow sacrosanct.
This came up recently when Steam confirmed your account cannot be left to anyone else when you die. The conclusion everyone seems to mention there is: if you leave your username and password in your will, how would Steam ever know or enforce this?
Go ahead. Do what you want.
Post the site in this comment section for those interested here.
Other than that, you could pick male specific communities. AskMen, Dads, AskMenOver30, etc. There are subs for “casual conversation” as well. Search for places like that and plaster the site everywhere if you’re trying to publicise it and then follow on to related subs in the sidebar.
Good original content is incredibly difficult to create. Remixing existing content is an important part of this process.
I came to suggest this. The book is one of the best zombie media ever. The movie is one of the worst.
Early seasons of The Walking Dead TV show are also really good.
Starvation and homelessness are quite powerful motivators.
