Retrograde

For real. I knew this shit happened in the south without clicking the headline

Too true about the venn diagram. If SC was on Linux, I bet the Lemmy community would be thriving lol.

As for what I'm excited for, honestly just new star systems. I'm getting really tired of the original Stanton system as I've done and seen pretty much everything it has. The new system Pyro is apparently supposed to release before the end of the year so that would be really cool to see.

In the meantime we've been doing illegal bounty missions which has you destroying law abiding NPC ships and pirating their loot- it's pretty fun and you can make a fortune doing it :)

I play it and enjoy it. Haven't spent more than $45 and have put in hundreds of hours with friends.

There is a Lemmy SC community but it's pretty dead unfortunately

I've never spoken to you in my life

I am now suspecting that you are a russian NPC or a clueless boomer, maybe both. Bless you either way

Yeah sadly weed is really bad for your sleep, akin to alcohol.

When I stop smoking for a few weeks, my dreams become dramatically more vivid and my sleep quality is much better.

If you have a REM cycle, which you should have at least one every night, you are definitely dreaming.

REM stands for Rapid Eye Movement, and it's because you're looking around at things within your dreams. Unlike the rest of the body, the eyes are not typically affected by the natural process of sleep paralysis (the system your body uses to stay still so you're not constantly acting out your dreams in bed.)

Fascinatingly, the brain/sub-conscious naturally purges dream memories as soon as it deems them 'not-reality'. You can train your brain to rememember your dreams more if you write them down as soon as you wake up, this tells your sub-concious that those memories are actually worth remembering.

We know a ton about dreams, we just don't know why exactly sleep "recharges" the brain which I find fascinating.

This guy assumes people write off dreaming but when I was 17 I was utterly fascinated with the subject and researched lucid dreaming for many years, even teaching myself how to do it. That rabbit hole is absolutely wild.

If anyone is interested in the subject, check out the book "Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming" by Stephen LaBerge, or watch the film Waking Life.

People censor so much on the Internet and it baffles me. Like, thanks for saving my sensitive eyes from the word Nazi I guess?

Been playing all day, had to force myself to bed. I like how the game reminds you, like "hey bud you've been on for 6 hours now, while we frown upon resting, we frown upon fatigue more"

What an amazing game. First playthrough and I'm getting Tom Cruise Oblivion vibes mixed with subnautica

I feel you could say this about every american company that has been around for 40 plus years. Enshittification is a real bitch
