This forced me to look up the lore on Dark Souls mimics. Apparently they are former members of a lost clan of gods exiled for the sin of avarice.

So, it's not impossible that a greedy princess is one of them.

If full body transplants become possible, the most obvious way forward is growing bodies in vats. When you hit 30 or 40, you start up a new body using your own DNA and swap over at age 50 or 60.

I used to invert x and y. But at some point I realized that all modern games seem to support non-inverted, but only some support inverted on both axes, so I just learned to play non-inverted to save myself the hassle.

I play video games while exercising. Switch controllers in either hand while walking on a treadmill works really well.

I haven't been depressed in a while, but I found extreme cardio to be a really good mood lifter, especially when playing a fun game.

I would also recommend avoiding triggers. News is mental poison. I have no idea what is happening in the world and I am substantially happier as a result.

I assumed it was intentional.

The depth of the book cannot be overstated. Everything has a backstory. Answers for questions are often sprinkled around in conversations spread throughout all the books. Tolkien spent years working on the Silmarillion before starting this which is why so much detail is sprinkled throughout.

And Tolkien was crazy detailed with everything. He plotted every step of the journey out on a map and ensured everything, including the phase of the moon, was kept consistent.

I never thought of Sin City being different in that way. But it is. Whole sections are just the current character talking to themselves.

Git is something that is very comfortable to use after a year or two, but when you initially start using it, it is just so easy to mess things up in ways that are unrecoverable. I remember the silly days when I'd back up all my changes first before using git since I would so regularly lose everything through a combination of git commands.

It's easy for me now, but the initial stages punish mistakes severely. It's the dark souls of source control, except it's not really fun. It's just a very beginner unfriendly tool.

If I browse !lemmy@lemmy.ml I don't see this post. Only see it via the website. I really hope they implement post linking soon.

Oh, maybe !announcements@lemmy.ml

It's just dispiriting to type a long comment then find it can't be saved.
