classic

What do you find is the advantage of these over a mouse?

Adding to Fallout New Vegas, which others have mentioned, Skyrim. I got into modding but then sold my Xbox and haven’t yet gotten into the fuller glory of modding it on PC. And, anyhow, I don’t really think of it as a game to finish, just a game to play.

Also haven’t completed BG3 despite liking it. I suffer in games what I suffer in life: the desire to experience it all and not close any options. Which is to say, I struggle with the reality of consequences and so avoid choices and commitments

It’s integrated into the steering wheel, right?

Along the same lines, I’ve been reading short SF stories here to get away from social media: https://www.freesfonline.net/NewAdditions.html

I make a peanut butter concoction subbing a whole grain like spelt for the bread and using pb that is just peanuts. Would that be considered any better?

I support this take. On principle, I retire bands and keep working to discover new music. Especially the type I find on bandcamp, where it’s just some dude in a random basement somewhere creating it

Playing off this, those tracks are like a diary for that period, however long. So I go back to them to recapture a period of time or a mood. Also there’s a weather and seasonal aspect to this. My music diet changes like my food diet diet does across the year

I imagine the rules change, so to speak, as a performer. As with stage acting, that you somehow find a way both to separate and reinvoke the songs? And, I guess, musician dinthe same as OP, right? Fully or partially retire songs eventually

West of Loathing. Timeless.

The thing is we could largely retain all our advances and live in a more fecund environment. A large portion of our pollution is unnecessary and tied to whatever you call this global economic system / social paradigm we’ve backed ourselves into. It’s only either or between forest and urban blight because we’ve made it so

Yeah sometimes I have what might be decent input on a topic but it would then start painting a picture of my profession, so I don’t. That also goes for some questions that I have which I could use help with, but are specific enough that I don’t post them. It’s likely that it doesn’t matter; but the whole “the Internet doesn’t forget” piece is something to be a little careful about, unfortunately

Perfection

I’d do it somewhere where I could get caught just so I get to say, “It’s consensual”

Manufactured controversy is exactly what it is. It might have been innocuous at some point. But right now, faced with deepening social divides and class inequality as well as an urgent need to address climate change, I find myself impatient and dismayed with attempts to keep us from union and collaboration

Here it is: the start of another generational divide fabricated out of nothing

Well that’s a happy note on which to end this day

(Well written though, thank you)

tbh, I mostly don’t look at anyone’s profile. I just meet each comment on its own

I think I read this comment with a different tone than others…

Just this morning, in a dream, my friends and I were recording a Sasquatch like creature on our phones

I hear you on the resources needed for computers being scarcer. But this might still fall overall under human induced scarcity. If we lived in more communal ways, the whole approach to personal computers could change, for instance, in a way that increased access in a more sustainable way. In no way do I believe that will happen, ofc. Just as we’re not likely going to go from every household owning one or more televisions to having, say, a shared theater in every neighborhood
