Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.
- Comment on The void can be loud sometimes 1 day ago:
I mean, most people haven’t experienced a single day of existence where they’d have rather… Not.
And it follows they have no concept of how someone can still function if they feel that way. Intuitively, you’d think those two things are mutually exclusive.
So, probably also wierd how easy it is to continue to go through the motions even as there is less than nothing inside.
I hope the “days I want to be alive/days I want to not exist”-ratio improves for you.
- Comment on The void can be loud sometimes 2 days ago:
Oh it’s plenty useful. Like I mention, at work with people who have no business knowing whats going on in your head it can be great.
But it’s not good for you.
- Comment on The void can be loud sometimes 2 days ago:
I think you made a common mistake. See, you don’t just bury the darkness, you need to also disossiate from reality. Even if you internally suffer accidental contact with the void, it doesn’t make it all the way out to become a physical expression.
This way, you can disconnect your outward behaviour from you active thinking, so that even if you mentally implode, no-one can tell!
Neat, huh?
(This is horrible advice, do not attempt. Never hide this level of anguish with loved ones. Potentially useful in professional settings, but still harmful.)
- Comment on After getting Silent Hill 'back on track,' Konami wants to make it an annual franchise 4 days ago:
And once again Konami proves they have no fucking clue what horror fans actually want.
These companies keep trying to grab both bones, completely failing to realize the second bone is a fucking reflection.
They have tapped some genuinely competent studios for this comeback of the franchise, but tightening the screws, like, at all, and this shit will blow up. Setting up four games from the start may already have been a mistake.
If Konami wants more, they don’t need to make more Silent Hill. They have so many alternatives.
FFS, they are sitting on fucking Zone of the Enders, despite Armored Core showing there’s plenty of appetite for that kind of game.
Or how about a modern Castlevania? Anyone?

I enjoy trackmania a ton, but everytime I play I get such a dirty feeling after about a week.
Ubisoft really ruined it with TM20. I miss the sound and aesthetic of Turbo, that’s where it peaked for me (though I’ll admit some of the tracks produced by the community in TM20 are art)

- Comment on Crosslinking posts from Mastodon -> PieFed or Lemmy 5 weeks ago:
What do you mean?
Any post, on any service, is technically accessible on any other instance, running any service. Actual implementation, varies.
Unless you run into it in the feed, the way to find a given post is to enter the original instance url for it into search on the instance from which you want to interact with it.
To upvote this post, for example, even from an instance that it hasn’t federated to, I can enter the url to this post on its host instance into search, and the other instance will fetch the post, allowing me to vote and/or comment.
Same goes for mastodon toots. Get the url, put into search, upvote, comment, whatever.
- Comment on Libraries are cool 5 weeks ago:
Depends.
Items get sent around all the time. In-network, copies are interchangeable, and the system balances them out among the libraries. AFAIK there’s no particular need for a copy to back to the same shelf.
If someone isn’t looking for a certain item, it wont move again unless someone asks, or if the library needs space for something else.
- Comment on Libraries are cool 5 weeks ago:
Damn. Over here we have self-service hours.
Library card holders that sign up for it can get into a library building using their library card, outside normal opening hours, when the staff isn’t even there.
- Comment on Libraries are cool 5 weeks ago:
Sure.
Items are grouped by type (games, video, music, tools, devices, fact, fiction, for adults, for kids, comics, audiobooks) etc. Each library may subdivide things in slightly different ways, due to the fact that they vary massively in size. I think some do use DDC for some subset of their inventory. But HelMet has a lot of media and items that do no fit into the DDC system.
You can certainly find something based on how things are sorted, and if you know its there.
But since the collection is region-wide, you don’t necessarily know that. Step one to finding a copy of something is to look up what libraries currently have any. When you look that up, the shelf location is right there as well.
Many locations simply number their shelves, and then further subdivide them by a point value, and then sort alphabetically.
A Harry Potter book for example, could be on shelf 86, section 11063, by “HAR”.
Each entire shelf is usually in alphabetical order overall, too, but the numbers make it really easy to zero in on exactly where a given item can be found.
- Comment on Libraries are cool 5 weeks ago:
I suspect that depends.
At least at finnish HelMet libraries, you can just walk in and take any book out of any shelf, and sit down to read it. Once you’re done, you put it back in the exact same spot.
If you don’t remember where that was, then you can hand it to a librarian to re-shelve. They will check the inventory to see where it should go.
You can actually also do that yourself, since the same system is available for finding any given book currently in the library, but it works just as well for putting something back.
All of the above is allowed without signing up for a library card.
If you want to bring a book home, that’s when you go to the checkout, scan your library card, and the barcode on the book. This removes it from current inventory and logs you as the current borrower.
When you bring it back, you scan the book again and leave it on the shelf by the returns scanner. Because the book was removed from the inventory, it wont have a place on a shelf yet.
This system also allows you return books to a different library from where you borrowed them. Since the HelMet libraries in the capital city region all interoperate, they share collections, and the location and lending of every individual item is tracked across them all. Across four cities and 66 libraries, and even a couple library buses that visit schools and more remote spots on a schedule.
You can even browse the inventory online. See where copies of what are available, what’s available but currently lent out, request something be moved to a library close to you so you can read it, or reserve a spot in line to borrow something popular.
Kinda just gushing about our libraries. If they don’t have something, HelMet does intralibrary lending. They will get a certain book or item for you from another library network entirely (even from abroad), lend it out to you, and once you’re done, return it back to the providing network.
They do their darndest to make physical made is as accessible as the internet, and it’s freaking free.
That’s how it should work everywhere.

Definitely something to consider in terms of longevity. User replacable RAM, storage, and battery.
And they’ve now syccesfully done the first mainboard/gpu refresh.
Linyx would not be pre-installed, but it can be purchased without windows.

Those mew controller look like EXACTLY what I’ve been hoping for.
The Index controllers are great, unless your hands a big. Then they’re barely usable imo.
The best fit for me was the IG Oculus Touch controller, and these look like they stole evrything about those that worked.
