lol no. Go outdoors and put that shit on DND. Scroll later. Can’t stand when I see someone craned over a phone when they’re somewhere surrounded by nature.

It’s only brain rot if it’s all you do all day long. Everything in moderation. It’s also often times the only window into other cultures for people that don’t have the money to travel. I’d rather scroll through stuff that teaches me something, than I would the endless US oligarchy brain rot feeds.

I like Loops too! I’ve ditched everything except Loops and RedNote for social media.

I think it only uses it for initial verification. I already get a ton of spam on my number so it doesn’t really bother me. Highly recommend checking some of the content out though if you want an unfettered view into everyday life in China. It’s been a fun adventure.

Hello, RedNote.

For me it did the opposite. I had 78 new games played last year alone, and a good amount of them were ones I’ve had in my library for a while.

Yeah, that’s how I hope this plays out. I’d love to see a fork take off with a healthier community.
- Comment on WordPress leader Matthew Mullenweg exiles five contributors • The Register 1 week ago:
WordPress is dead. Those contributora have all been there for ages. Without them behind it and Matt continuing to shit where he eats, there’s no coming back. It will stick around because it runs a metric fuckton of the web, but I foresee it basically being in a state of super unexciting maintenance mode.

- Comment on TikTok tells LA staff impacted by wildfires to use personal/sick hours if they can't work from home 1 week ago:
Had a boss years ago here in the US that told me I had used up all of my PTO during a time of mourning and funeral preparation. My dad was dying/died during that time and the boss was telling me this because I had to take 2 weeks off to spend time with my dying father who was in Hospice with cancer, as well as arrange the funeral and care for my mom.
The empire can’t burn fast enough.

I’m getting my ass repeatedly handed to me in Stalker 2 but enjoying it. Also continuing to dump hours into Vampire Survivors. Started replaying Road Redemption also so I can get my modern day Road Rash fix.

I just started a new NV game and maybe I can finally say the same. I’ve got like 300+ hours into Fallout 4 and still haven’t completed the main story.

Is the right getting mad because they have no one fun left to yell at on X now? They can always yell at each other. They’re good at eating their own.

I actually found The Messenger after completing Sea of Stars and being so invested in it. I looked the devs up and decided I’d buy all of their stuff.

The TikTok ban used to be about trying to squash pro-Palestine sentiments and media. I guess this works too.

Anyone that uses “woke” unironically is not someone I will ever take seriously. Criticizing someone for having awareness of reality is peak modern day anti-intellectualism.
- Comment on Horizon Zero Dawn Dev Addresses Criticism Over Aloy’s Remastered Look 3 months ago:
My (non-)issue is more with the fact that she looks too polished for a character that exists in a post-apocalyptic world. Both her clothes and some facial characteristics, like the perfect eyebrows.
- Comment on Covert Racism in AI: How Language Models Are Reinforcing Outdated Stereotypes 3 months ago:
Shit in, shit out. That’s AI. You can’t guarantee a single thing it says is true, and you have to play whack-a-mole forever to get it to behave. Imagine knowing this and still investing time and money in it. We could be investing that in education and making the human experience better, but instead we’re stuck watching capitalists harness it to replace people, and shoving half-baked ideas out the door as finished products.
Look, I love tech. I’ve worked in tech for 20 years. I’ve built apps that use AI. It’s the one tech that I despise watching capitalists have control of. It’s just chatbots all the way down that don’t know what they’re regurgitating, and eventually they’re going to be vacuuming up nothing but other AI content. That is going to be the future. Just bots talking to other bots. Everything completely devoid of humanity.
- Comment on What games would you recommend others to just play on easy difficulty 4 months ago:
Project Zomboid. That’s the most recent game I can think of where I reduced the difficulty (and that’s coming from someone that has nearly 400 hours into Elden Ring). It’s not that the game is tougher than ER or anything like that. It just has a ton of cool mechanics and detail that are really enjoyable if you’re into zombie survival games. The zombies can really swarm you in that game and you won’t live long.
It also has sandbox mode where there’s no zombies and you can focus on farming, building, etc.

I have friends still dealing with all kinds of airline troubles (basically stuck in cities for a week past their return date) and I can’t believe anyone would have so many mission-critical systems using Windows. Their infrastructure must be a mess.
