Were you able to import your subscriptions? I haven't been able to and that's all that's keeping me on Premium

Cogmind! I found that game after I bought Caves Of Qud. Technically it wasn't recommended to me by anyone directly (just found it one day scrolling through Steam). Its an excellent RPG where you play as a self-assembling robot trying to escape from a massive robot colony thing. Haven't gotten super far into the game yet but I absolutely love the gameplay and sound design. Check it out!

Also, NES Open; the greatest golf game ever made in my opinion. I've had it since I was a kid and have never heard anyone talk about it online. Simple gameplay, high skill ceiling. Exactly what a golf game needs to be!

The "boop beeep boop... Beee-ooop beep" one?

If you're comfortable parroting false information that the AI inevitably gives you, then sure but where's the productivity in that if you constantly have to proofread and verify everything it gives you.

Better to just do the work yourself and learn new things along the way.

A CRT for gaming allows for the least amount of input lag. Not only that but playing retro games on a CRT just feels right.

Dude are you kidding me? Youthanasia is an excellent album. It's not their best, sure but it has so many highlights. Marty Friedman absolutely rips all over that album. One of his most memorable solos ever is on The Killing Road, Addicted To Chaos is one of Dave's best lyrical efforts IMO and his voice is as good as it ever would be on this record.

Youthanasia is 100% worth listening to. I'm just as much of a fan of their pinnacle records just like everyone else but this album is hugely underrated.

I just bought a CRT for my retro consoles. Its the best money I've spent in a long time.

You should seek mental health assistance and therapy.

Do you pay for other streaming music services?

Graphene is set to reboot after six hours of inactivity, ensuring that it reboots every night after I've gone to bed.

 

I was just reading this thread... https://sh.itjust.works/post/23476261

...and it got me thinking about something that I've wanted for a long time. Why is it that keyboards have not evolved to have dedicated copy/paste keys left of the main board? I'd love to see an additional column of keys left of Esc->Ctrl configurable as macros at least. I do a lot of copy/paste for work. The current shortcuts arent terrible or anything but they're not exactly comfortable. I'd rather move my whole hand to the left for a macro key than contort to hit the current shortcut.

What do you think?

 

...relative to Reddit's size?

I see so many posts and comments voicing disappointment with Lemmy's lack of massive expansion.

I too want to see Lemmy gain more users, but I do not want it to grow to Reddit's size. If Reddit is the yardstick, I'd say that a population that large attracts a lot of negative behaviours; degeneration of discourse, amplification of echo chambers and hive mind behaviour, etc...

I started on Reddit in 2010 and found that by 2016 things were really bad in comparison. A fun and engaging site was experiencing an obvious devolution that persists to this day, accelerated by Spez's enshittification of the platform. Obviously the fediverse insulates us from that occurring here but I think you get what I mean.

Do you you think Lemmy is too small? I don't. I've been here since the great migration last year and have had a really good time. I see a lot of familiar names in the comments on a daily basis. It actually feels like a community here. I guess I just don't understand the fixation on the size of Lemmy's user base. Curious to hear your thoughts.

[EDIT] Thanks for all the responses, everyone! Lots of perspectives I hadn't yet considered.

 

My heart nearly beat out of my chest on this one! We were already down a player since the start of the game so this match was an uphill battle from the start. We ended up winning the game which felt amazing. This round is the cherry on top.
