George Carlin is the Socrates of our age; there I said it.

I’ve had people close to me say the same thing.
A person who knew thoroughly how to install software and get computers up and running in the 80’s and 90’s, now had no interest at all in learning how to use a cellphone. Cognitive decline inevitably started happening at age 40 or so and it made it more and more difficult to understand the new tech.
Similar thing happens with music, and keeping up to date with new artists and so forth. As you get older I guess you just start to not give a shit as much at all about the newfangled jibjabs and doohickeys.

Fun thing is,… the cycle repeats.
~20% of Boomers had good working knowledge of the technologies of their age, similar to today.

Is there a SoftwareGore community here on lemmy?

Right? Someone I knew wasn’t that much into gaming; took them through something really simple like one of the horror/haunted houses; running around like Scooby Doo; we had fun and got to hang out for a bit and just voice chat.

Rocket League drifting, boosting, racing on the walls and ceilings, rocket jumping over gaps and each other; it’s pretty fucking wild and can get intense. Whatever team they had working on it internally really did a helluva job.
And No Build in Fortnite is the only way to play imho; stripped down and back to the basics.
- Comment on Eminem concert 10 months ago:
I tend to agree. Taking the car physics from their acquisition of Rocket League and putting it into a racing game was a bit of genius. It is the most fun I’ve had in a casual racing game since MarioKart.
And,…that’s kind of my point. Epic/Unreal is acquiring gaming IP (Rockband, Rocket League, etc) and putting all of that into their own Metaverse/OASIS garden.
It’s an interesting Facebook-like strategy they seem to have.
- Comment on Eminem concert 10 months ago:
Epic is trying to make their own ‘Metaverse’— just wait until Fortnite VR comes out in the near future.
It’s already a place for people to hang out with friends socially and just voice chat, or go to concerts, or go to Escape Rooms, or play music together in Rockband, etc etc.
Epic/Unreal will just keep adding and adding things to their ‘Ready Player One’ universe.

Decent ones at least.

Same here.
‘The thing isn’t the thing’, really resonated with me.
‘We’re fighting to be connected, and when we do feel connected, the thing doesn’t feel so important anymore’
I used to call it “fighting to fuck” because in some relationships I’ve had we would fight just to feel connected it seemed like. There would be this huge blow up and the more intense the fight the more intense the,… —fuck. All very seemingly toxic. Somewhat makes more sense now that it has been put in this light.
Also— we need a good ‘relationships’ community here on Lemmy. Can’t seem to find ones like there were on reddit.

I was more talking about the near future. The massive exodus away from Unity is palpable.

Sad thing is, it lets Epic run most of the table now.

Gamurs bought a bunch of websites and have been fumbling the bag on all of them. RIP Escapist, and soon others.

It got pulled after DMA got sued for copyright infringement on the design and personalities of the unicycles in the game. The only place you could find a copy was at game rental places.

Maybe I missed it; where is the banned game Uniracers/Unirally on the list?
