- Comment on Welcome to 'The Great Detachment': Workers are checked out—and so are their bosses 4 months ago:
Maybe try a new non work hobby in this downtime. You don’t have to be a more productive or engaged employee to find joy and excitement in life! Why can’t work be that consistent but full backdrop that empowers/enables your the rest of your time?
Maybe a mindset shift will help. You don’t have to keep climbing that corporate ladder. Stop and smell the roses!
- Comment on 'The gold rush is over:' Slay the Spire and Darkest Dungeon devs say that big Game Pass and Epic exclusive deals have dried up for indie devs 8 months ago:
You do realize those are exclusive for only a year, right? So EGS pays them out for a year.of exclusivity and then the devs are free to launch on steam and others.
The thing is, often if they don’t get that first infusion of cash from a deal with EGS (or another investor) they don’t get to complete or even launch the game at all.

Btw he still has to play the full amount. Just reduced payment needed now. It’s still shitty, but he ain’t off the hook.

Uhh what? There’s no American tax website to login into to “verify” things were handled right.

“time travel to 1994 and play mtg, save the cards for 25 years then sell!” Great advice for anon :)
- Comment on What's your favorite game that you will NEVER finish? 11 months ago:
I’ve jumped in a few times since they started letting people play years ago! I’m a big fan and am eager to give 1.0 a whirl.
I like how they are embracing the solo vs trading play style and leaning into rewarding both types of players uniquely with power for that choice.
- Comment on What's your favorite game that you will NEVER finish? 11 months ago:
Arpgs like Diablo or pathofexile are my “will always play” games. Like you I’ve played the mmos, shooters, and others and feel like I’ve “finished” those genres and am satisfied not going back unless with friends.
It’s both a nice feeling but also a sad one. I still follow fps games and watch videos of them, but playing them… Meh

They cost about the same as a car for in-ground (a new car, not something lightly used lol). You don’t have to be in six figure income brackets to have one.
People with less than 6figure income aren’t spending as much as a new car on a backyard in ground pool. Where do you think they have the cash for that? What bank is going to loan them the funds? Hilariois you think it’s possible in this economy.
- Comment on How have you personally found the Lemmy community compared to its competition and other social media? 11 months ago:
Yes exactly. Because anyone can spin up their own instance and communities on that instance, there are many duplicates of traditionally popular communities from other social sites. It used to be worse here, but it’s still pretty bad around sports, politics, and many niche groups.
- Comment on Does the USPS, FedEx and UPS give a crap about weed shipments since Hemp sprayed with th same terpenes and looks the same as weed has been shipped legally for 9 years now? 1 year ago:
Hey OP, check out this defcon talk. I think it’s relevant to your question youtu.be/01oeaBb85Xc?si=UDuEjhJLxp6Ysjl5
- Comment on Is there any way I can stop seeing sports posts? 1 year ago:
Because it’s not one account but an individual user (bot) per team.
