- Comment on 9 months after its 1.0 launch flopped, an indie dev just learned that Steam never emailed the 130,000 people who wishlisted its game 1 day ago:
I do, constantly.
- Comment on For people who relocated: when did you realize you want to live in the new place long-term & why? 1 week ago:
In my experience, there’s an inertia to staying still. You either need a pull from the destination or a push from the source. I didn’t care where we ended up but I couldn’t live where we were. The state government was persecuting one of my kids and failing on maintaining civil services. The destination wasn’t great but it was better than the source and has family nearby. Overall, I don’t regret moving, but I’m not happy. I went from a terrible situation to a not as bad one. Note - I didn’t say this is good.
- Comment on what does it mean being nice to your coworkers to you? 2 weeks ago:
My main tactic to avoid answering a question is deflection. Either give an absurd answer (most people don’t follow up) or just enough to placate them and move on.
“what did you do this weekend?”
Absurd - “oh, nothing much, just climbed mount everest in a clown suit.”
Just enough - “spent some time in the garden”. (note this must be true bc there may be followups, but it’s boring enough to be dropped)
- Comment on I'm on the spectrum. How do I live the rest of my life? 3 weeks ago:
Would you change your whole personality just because society dictates you must?
Yes. We do what we must to survive. It’s masking. I am many people. I am one person at work, I play the game of being social. I am another at home with family, I play the game of house member. I am another person with friends, I play the game of a buddy.
You decide if you want to follow the rules and earn their prizes or find another system to exist in. It’s far easier said than done. I chose to follow the rules. You might not.

I’d love for that kinda stuff at my job.

That’s awesome. I can’t imagine how cold.
- Comment on Why do people like the Punisher comics? 5 weeks ago:
Hah, you’re probably right! I like superman because it’s so over the top with powers and black and white morality. It’s unrealistic hopefulness is why I like it.

- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 1 month ago:
Those are all relatively new games. How old are you? Just decade, not specifics. I’m in my 40s. I’d say my top 3 are World of Warcraft, Factorio, and Final Fantasy 6.
- Comment on Feeling insecure about going to a 'girlie pop' concert as a 30 year old man, am i overthinking it? 1 month ago:
One of my favorite things about getting older is that I give less of a shit about anyone else’s opinion, every year. When you’re 40, you’re gonna laugh at how worked up you got about this.
- Comment on Why do people like the Punisher comics? 1 month ago:
But the reason people like or dislike stories isn’t because of powers or machines in them.
For some, sure. For others, like me, that is exactly why I like certain things.

- Comment on What is piefed? 1 month ago:
I use connect which also does that. IMO, it should be native.
- Comment on Do we dream smaller now than we did decades ago? 1 month ago:
Nah, you’re showing selection bias or something. Kids have always wanted to be rock stars.

I’m very interested in this. I’m kinda stunned that lemmy doesn’t do this natively.

Looks like something water jet channel would do.

Don’t ruin a hobby with money. You will lose all enjoyment of it. Something changes when you get paid for it.
- Comment on Does anyone struggle with spending money foolishly on prostitutes? 2 months ago:
Actually never been in a relationship before
You need to be bad at something before you’re good at something, in almost every thing in life. You have to go thru bad relationships before you’ll understand what’s a good one. Just be willing to learn and end things when it’s time.
- Comment on RimWorld - Odyssey expansion and update 1.6 out now! 2 months ago:
easy mood management
Easy? Well then I certainly didn’t grasp the concept. I never found it to be easy, at all. It was always more negative than positive for me.
- Comment on RimWorld - Odyssey expansion and update 1.6 out now! 2 months ago:
Gonna sit on this one for a bit. I haven’t really enjoyed any of the dlc. Royalty powers are neat but the upkeep is tedious. Ideology is fun if you RP but I don’t. Otherwise converting people is just a chore. Biotech is my favorite but the pollution system is unbalanced. Anomaly I skipped because it’s not interesting to me in the slightest.
I still love and play the base game. I like the logistics!

Nah, you’re good. You asked and he answered. If it’s something that would happen at a doctor’s office, you’re good. If it’s something that would happen at a brothel, then that’s a problem. It’s all technical and you got consent.
I do the same when it comes to bodies. I ask my kids if they are comfortable or give them options. Let them know they’re in control of their bodies. Give them options. Example, we had a showering demonstration and I asked if they wanted to wear a swim suit or be naked.

Sounds logical to me. I’m a worrier, so yeah all of this is bothering me a lot.
- Comment on Can it take months to get over being laid off? 2 months ago:
No, the opposite. I love this new job much more than the last. The commute is worse but everything else is better. That’s why I am questioning my feelings.
- Comment on Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4? 2 months ago:
Havent felt proud to be an American in a long while. I’m proud of loving thy neighbor as myself, not lining the pockets of billionaires. I hate that I’m powerless to do much. Representative democracy? My ass. No one represents me. They’re all aristocrats. “it’s one banana, Michael. What could it cost, $10?”
I’m not bitter about it at all. /s
- Comment on Can it take months to get over being laid off? 2 months ago:
It’s definitely anxiety. I’ve got that diagnosis on the books, lol.
