  Me when

  A low-poly, vertex color-only model of a tail-less gecko, pathetic-looking and purple under its eyes. The origin lines from the software Blender can be barely seen

  when it is never tail time ever

  I am similar, though for me I’d say it’s more of a personality disorder (SzPD) which also makes socialization a dilemma (it’s a term). Though I live somewhere without much to do (+no public transportation), particularly because I have no interest in driving.

  Though I lack skills/money, plus have untreated health issues and likely depression.

  Is this supposed to be self-deprecating or did you forget to switch accounts?

  I would take this deal.

  I would go with cereal water. It’s what it is, and something it can be used for.

  It’s probably that you have a similar or even shared microbiome. Similar living conditions, or maybe your vibes/rythms just sync up over time.

  Nintendo has increasingly become a problem over the last decade

  Of the other related videos, one by Knowledge Husk (7FWyhlS3kvc) points to the CEOs being an issue and that they just had one (1) good CEO: Iwata (particularly because he was a computer scientist who was pro-consumer).

  Now I doubt Nintendo was fully non-evil in 2002-2015 (considering Nintendo actions with 2010s-era Youtube) but I’m sure it was probably the better side of Nintendo.

  Nintendo.

  Not just crushing fan games, but also issues with the Smash bros community, pricing and availability, eshops shutting down (+needing to buy those games again on new consoles or it’s not even available at start), stick drift, fan content policy, also Youtube strikes/claims (both newer for specific reasons and an entire era for let’s plays in general). 20 years of content removed from Gmod.

  And no this isn’t about Japanese law, they choose to be this way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people with lots of 'karma points' tend to be nothing but egotistical assholes?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I check a lot of those boxes but have never had many points on most websites. The difference I think is that I don’t often make posts/threads (comments alone usually don’t get as many views/points, posts may get thousands of points).

  Those with the most points often make posts multiple times an hour (often a dozen posts in a day) particularly if they become “known” for some theme/gimmick (which may add to ego). Also at that point they likely have parasocial users backing up their ego and buffoonery.

  I don’t know if any of those “no life” people are behind this or not. I suspect people posting like this, especially when it is blog-like (their job, some other interaction) are likely normal outgoing people who just have their phone with them to post whenever they have a spare moment. It may even be a similar archetype to “influencer” (one unlikely to show their face) especially if they are saving many things ahead of time to post later. That, and the inevitable monetization even if it’s just gifts/favors from strangers.

  If you go to their instance you’ll see that is does list it in users’ profiles (Reputation points).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why hasn't Lemmy.World moved up from Lemmy 0.19.3 to Lemmy 0.19.7 yet?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just to add, there seems to be some issue with thumbnails on .cafe, from the admin:

  Yes, there’s clearly some problem with the change introduced in lemmy 0.19.7 where thumbnail generation was changed to force a smaller size (and potentially something else). Still not entirely sure which part - lemmy or pict-rs - is misbehaving, but working on both fronts trying to find the culprit. Nothing so far, unfortunately

  You got scammed, bro. 4-stroke lungs are a much better deal. (uni-directional breathing, air sacs before/after lungs. birds, crocodiles, dinosaurs)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem I have is that preventing euthanasia does not mean there will be a significant effort to reduce the desire for it in the first place. If anything, I would say there are also perverse incentives (particularly in the US) for not allowing people to have that choice (also leaving isn’t really viable for many suffering either). Ideally using those choices would push a government for some changes… although I know it probably would not fix malice, greed, or incompetence etc.

  Personally I would take a chance to test (physical, cheap) brain preservation if it were an option (esp. if I could set some revival conditions/scenarios). I know there would be no guarantee, though it is the tiniest step up from non-existence and I do think it should make some difference in the tone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨flouride⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean you can buy it here in a normal store. So I’m not sure if you mean a dentist can’t use/sell it, or if you’re thinking about the nano forms of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨flouride⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For other toothpaste that still strengthens enamel, there is toothpaste with hydroxyapatite (which can be ingested, at least that specific ingredient). Though it is probably more expensive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨flouride⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It could likely be replaced with hydroxyapatite instead (it also can be used to remove lead and other things from water, which makes searching about being added to municipal water difficult). Good for not only teeth, also bones.

  I also wonder if adding other vitamins would make more sense (just enough to stop deficiencies) if we’re talking about health outcomes, though the first idea I had with vitamin C came up with results of that messing with the chlorine in the water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you create?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Me: “If I make a new mascot platformer with vertex colors, maybe someone would get me out of here? What are the chances and outcomes? Would I even have enough time to make something decent with current conditions?”

  The entire scene is low-poly with colors defined using the mesh itself, also the image is optimized for color to reduce data, resulting in dithering patterns. In a gray room with black and white triangle tiles, there are 6 badgers of various sizes standing and facing the viewer. Similarly, there are 5 eyes floating in the air one of which is not fully opaque. There is 1 banana on the floor.

  Blender, Godot 4, player controller in Nim-lang via gdext-nim, and on top of the 3 hats I need to learn I don’t have many viable ideas.

  Also somewhat related to the social isolation thread in showerthoughts, I live on the edge of nowhere and don’t even want to drive.
