- Comment on Shart, not fart 4 months ago:
But how is this a sad story? Babies grow so fast that they easily can skip a size… Am I missing the point?
And, wouldn’t this be the real sad story? “For sale, baby shoes, too big”
Implying that the baby died before it could grow into said shoes?

That’s a fair point and I agree with you that it’s difficult to enjoy soulslike (I am referring to the game’s I played. I’m sure there are exceptions) in short bursts.
But I don’t know whether this is because of their higher difficulty compared to the games you mentioned (which I didn’t play a single one of) or because they’re overall slower games.

They are and in a weird way they aren’t… I didn’t play a WHOLE lot of souls likes. I finished Elden Ring, am pretty far into Dark Souls 3 and Lies of P, played some Dark Souls 1 and 2.
The thing is: Yes, you die very often for sometimes maddening and sometimes silly reasons, but you get better: The mechanics just start to “click”, you earn just enough souls to afford another level up or some piece of equipment, you learn the positioning of you enemies, their attack patterns, timings etc… And slowly and steadily you progress: Around the next corner, to the next boss, you beat the boss. Then you come back to an area you already visited and murder everything…
And if you can’t progress in any way there are summons (players or NPC) that can give you an edge or you try using consumables you forgot about…
Especially the Fromsoftware games have managed to hit that sweet spot where the game is challenging but (most of the times) doesn’t feel unfair or broken. It’s just an amazing piece of game design and you should try it. :)
- Comment on My mom's doctor be like 5 months ago:
Doctors still do this, at least in Germany. When you’re a smoker and getting pregnant, your doctor will most likely not try to bully you into quitting, instead they inform you about the risks and recommend you to cut down the smoking to a minimum but they will also acknowledge that you will most likely not overcome your addiction while your body is already under a lot of stress.

You’re welcome. I hope I didn’t come across as too pissed off.
“Germany fucked up by shutting down their (last) nuclear power plants” is not only an argument by people outside of Germany but unfortunately is used by german conservatives and the far right as well as libertarians who don’t want to take any steps to fight climate change but try to preserve “the old ways”.
Nuclear in Germany has been more or less dead for a long time. The last (commercial, there are newer reactors used for science) reactor has started building in 1982 and started producing in 1989. People who call for more nuclear power in Germany are at least 35 years too late.
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 7 months ago:
Please stop this nonsense argument about Germany fucking up by shutting down nuclear. Even 20 years ago, nuclear energy wasn’t that significant for our enery mix and shutting it down over the last 20 years didn’t fuck up anything. The last few power plants had a capacity of about 4 to 8 GW and are not missed here.
For the last 20 years, coal consumption declined (could be faster though) and renewable had a steep growth (could be faster of course).
It is true that we started consuming more natural gas, but in the end the change is not about using old nuclear power plants that are unsafe or building new nuclear plants that will be usable in 10 to 20 years but about pushing renewable and improving the grid to solve the distribution problem.

Yes, I agree. I was referring to @honytawk@lemmy.zip’s statement that the middle aged people were about to retire in a couple of years.
- Comment on 400,000 species 8 months ago:
But that’s far from retirement…?
- Comment on 400,000 species 8 months ago:
What age do you consider middle aged?

No but with a shoehorn you can slip in and out of your shoes without tying the laces?
- Comment on How do you keep your homes clean? 8 months ago:
But that’s why shoehorns exist?

Considering her name being Henny Gesserit she just might be Wolfgang Atreides’ older sister…

Damn TIL! I didn’t know that and I didn’t know that Hitler was stateless from 1925 till 1932.

Obviously you do as you like but a common way is to put then in as far as you like / as it’s comfortable and pull them out slowly.
- Comment on Panik 1 year ago:
You clearly mean:
14: 1 + 8 = 9 (not db 7)
Someone else in this thread correctly stated:
“Chop of last digit, double it and subtract from what is left”
14: 1 - 8 = -7. (dB 7!)
Math is awesome, I didn’t know this trick!

Nope it’s not you. I am using jerboa. When I click on the link it opens a furry post. When I copy the link and open it in Firefox, it opens the intended original post.

Hell this is the best and most comprehensive argument for the generational debt we as the global north and winners of colonialism owe the global south I’ve ever read.
I’ll definitely use this analogy whenever this issue comes up in my peer group.
- Comment on I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Windows, is in fact, GNU/Windows, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Windows. 1 year ago:
I’m not sure if you’re joking or being serious. Long uptimes are not an issue anymore on Windows.
