- Comment on Drivers over 70 to undergo eye tests every three years under plans to improve road safety | LBC 1 week ago:
My most favorite story about eyesight:
I went to the BMV here to get my license renewed. I am in line about 3-4 people back and an old man, presuming like 75-80 is at the counter. Lady is effectively yelling at the dude he is so hard of hearing, “put your face against the visor, you will see a light blink to the left or the right, just tell me which side you see the blinking light”. A regular peripheral vision test.
Man puts his face against the visor, and stands there. Lady asks “do you see a light?”. Man responds “What light??”. This goes back and forth about 5 to 6 times. Eventually the lady just says “THERE IS A LIGHT ON THE LEFT DO YOU SEE IT?”. The Dude fully pivots his entire body to look left within the visor, “oh yea I see a little light”. She asks for a signature and he goes to get his picture taken.
Man in front of me turns around, he and I just look at each other in disbelief that he just legally got permission to drive a car. He cannot hear anything, and can barely see anything, in a car on the road.

This is something I have suggested around my circles for a long time. But to keep it away from “age-discrimination” I’d be happy to have a re-test every 5 years when your license expires. Alternating between retaking the written test and practical test. So driving test every 10.

Unfortunately I have a cat and 0 windows pointing towards the sun, so plants don’t grow well in my house. The cat has eaten every plant I’ve put inside except 2 cactus

Much to my friends disdain, do I tend to rant about permaculture if I ever managed to have the money or land to try it.

Good call.
I will say, I do go out of my way to buy from local spots. I’ve thought about trying to negotiate with some Local Game Store types about prices. I want to buy from LGS but if the price is twice that of Amazon I do find it challenging, if it was like 50% up from Amazon I’d do it, but double is a bit too big of a difference to me in some cases.

ebay. You get pretty much the same offerings but at least on ebay the people selling actually care about looking good since negative reviews really tank your scores and those actually matter.

My issue is mostly that this is a “Mo money mo problems” situation. I did single player for B42 and I REALLY liked it. Going back to B41 is like swapping back to 480p from UHD.

I’m a big fan of Really Bad Chess, trying to puzzle myself out of bad situations it’s quite enjoyable
- Comment on For fellow Lemmy users who play Project Zomboid. 4 months ago:
I love PZ, really do. I do however also recognize that its playloop is a challenge for many many people to enjoy. The game suffers from essentially needing to know how to play in order to learn how to play. I have yet to find a single one of my friends that enjoyed the game until I sat down with them, watched them play via stream and coached them.
So when you do buy it, pay real close attention to the return window if you aren’t really enjoying it. If you aren’t essentially hooked in an hour, you probably never really particularly enjoy the game.
- Comment on Reddit bought a giant ad in Paris, urging young french people to create an account 5 months ago:
I have been playing a game, Chasm, I Kickstarted years ago. I am having some difficulties and while Steam discussions are helpful for some, most discussions are on Reddit. The posts are 3+ years old, and every time I try to open one I get a notification that the discussion hasn’t been reviewed by the community so I can only read it with the app. Shit website.

I watched this video a few days ago, and while on paper it seems absurd you can’t discount the possibility this dude could be faking it.
These cops just met this guy, they don’t know his situation, they just know he’s the guy they were told to find. I sit in wheelchairs from time to time and roll around for fun.
