- Comment on My quest to get a steam controller has failed 6 days ago:
if you can’t find one I’d recommend getting a ps5 controller instead: it at least has one trackpad and a gyro, and works well with steam input.

- Comment on Is there a way I can become Baptized a Catholic without going to school or memorizing all the saints I am 37? Always thought it would be an honor to be Catholic. Like being knighted. 2 weeks ago:
why do you think it’s anything like being knighted?
I guess it has one similarity in that it’s a symbolic ritual, but I think that’s where the similarities end. Being knighted is a lot more impressive, and commands some respect, since it has a selection process that involves either being recommended by the public or a government committee…

Yeah it’s a new way of working and seems like it would be a good thing if society were differently constituted

Placeholder assets are generally better if they look out of place because then you don’t forget to replace them 😅
AI art generation is trained to be just good enough to fly under the rader if not looked at too closely…

Maybe could say it’s a Pastafarian ritual for the same legal protection as confession in Christian religions?

Moderation kinda depends on identity, as the trolls who want every room to be toxic will enter every room and make sure it’s toxic if there’s no identification.

3rd party apps.
Reddit apps addicted me to ad free content delivered in the way Eternity for lemmy does, and that’s no longer available for reddit.
- Comment on What's the point of specifically Americans identifying with other cultures if people born there will just make fun of them for it? 2 months ago:
Another issue that can arise is people feeling more connected to some fractional heritage that they like, as a way to divide thier local community more and feel separate e.g. “Arian heritage”…
- Comment on Why the same food costs double in UK (It's not Brexit) 2 months ago:
(It’s not Brexit)
That sounds like fake news or click bait to me 😅
If its not brexit I assume it’ll be a symptom of the same problem that caused brexit…

Konami’s pachinko(Japanese slot machines) and casino business used to be bigger than thier video games business, but thier Digital Entertainment (home videogames) division has been turned into more casino type things, completed around when Hideo left:

- Comment on What do you think of this video from HealthyGamerGG? 2 months ago:
The issue with self help content in general in that it can distract you from doing the actual work to achieve your goals while making you feel like you’re making progress.
Its probably better to investigate scientifically proven methods of achieving your specific goals rather than trying to use self help content.
- Comment on What do you think of this video from HealthyGamerGG? 2 months ago:
Other forms of self help content can have similar issues as self help content on YouTube. It depends on what the motivation is for creating the content in the first place.
For any self help content to be financially successful it needs to be more entertaining than helpful, regardless of the platform it’s on.
That said I imagine it’s probably a bit worse on YouTube because of the algorithm…

- Comment on The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game. 2 months ago:
There’s been a lot of good games for free on epic, and epic still pays the dev/publisher for it, so it’s worth clicking the button even if you don’t download it and play it from thier client.
