dreaming
Reply in thread
I think the idea is to form a habit or a tick that is so strong it carries over to your dream. So like, if you commit to wearing a watch everyday, and check it every 5 minutes, eventually you'll do it in your dreams too. Then, you don't have to intentionally check whether you're in a dream, hoprfully you'll just catch the time being wildly different and be like "holy crap this was a dream??"

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Falls Out of the U.S. Top 20 Games for the First Time in Six Years
Reply in thread
Honestly this is a pretty big deal. Mario Kart 8 has been an absolute sales juggernaut. It's been largely speculated that mario kart 9 has been delayed just because 8 keeps on making millions. It's just so uncommon to see a game sell in such huge numbers for over 6 years like that, especially because the game itself is way older than that and it didn't even get any expansions/dlc until very recently.

I once pirated Pirates of the Caribbean while on a cruise in the Caribbean. It was absolutely a high point in my life.

Nintendo 3DS emulator Citra taken offline as collateral damage in Yuzu lawsuit settlement
Reply in thread
If by emulation you mean your ability to emulate, absolutely not. Its a portable program, you can find countless mirrors of the downloads or ask someone you know and trust for a copy. If you mean active development in 3DS emulation... Yeah probably dead.

Is it too late to get involved?
Nah nah, you get split up by difficulty. At first you only have access to level 1 difficulty, and you gain difficulty level access by accomplishing missions in each level (up to 9). Chances are, you'll be playing with fellow rookies until about 5 or 6. By the time you've hit difficulty 5 you'll have a full arsenal of very competent gear, helped very much by the fact that some of your starting gear is actually still very viable mid/late game.

Somebody has never taken mythology.
Spoiler Alert: Every story ever told has been told 1000 times before. Its the natural consequence of being part of a species that has had language for 12000 years and is obsessed with storytelling. What matters is the execution, not how unique the idea is.

Idk what it is, but your comment has gotta be one of the most well crafted and funny comments I've ever seen. I swear it reads like poetry.

Is Lemmy THE reddit alternative for you? Are you thinking about moving somewhere else?
Reply in thread
Since you have more experience with it, could you elaborate on what the real difference between kbin and lemmy is in your opinion? I keep hearing that kbin can interact with Lemmy and Mastadon, so it sounds like its just "better", but I feel like thats gotta be a very oversimplified understanding.

Nvidia has quietly ended support for 32-bit PhysX on its new RTX 50-series, so games like Batman: Arkham City might look and run better on older GPUs
I thought my 3080 was an irresponsible splurge when I bought it, but every day I love that thing more and more.

You know, I don't think I've ever thought about your second point. That's a pretty great idea!

Admin of an anarchist Mastodon server raided by FBI, insecure user data gets seized
Reply in thread
Yeah pretty much. As soon as facebook broke the ice on "never use your real name on the internet" it was over. Now we have entire generations that were introduced to the internet as one that was ruled by social media sites. They were never even taught the same online safety stuff that we grew up with.

From my understanding, it wasn't supposed to make the ship invisible or even hard to see. It was supposed to make it impossible to gauge the size or class from a distance.

YSK: Pixelfed replaced Instagram for me, the same way Lemmy replaced reddit.
Reply in thread
Well said, the problem is, I post nothing on instagram. So my presence on pixelfed is not at all a reason for anyone in my circle to join lol. I imagine since we're all the nerds of our families/friend-groups here, this is probably the case for a lot of us.

Reddit's Traffic is Down 3.36% Month-Over-Month, According to SimilarWeb

If this happens again, and youre really insistant on reading that answer, people are saying the wayback machine should have that info for you. It's sorta a win-win because you still get your answer and reddit doesnt get the revenue from your usage.

Funny that you mentioned 2048 specifically, that one got me on the high way one time. For half a second I thought I could get past traffic if I compressed all the cars in front of me into the right lanes.

On a similar note, they make healies in adult sizes. Got a pair for my 21st as a gag gift, and ended up using them to walk my dog all the time. He's a lil guy, but hes a dense 15lbs of muscle and he could pretty easily pull me up to that "oh shit" speed.

Its 4-player coop in-mission, but there is a meta-game where the entire community contributes towards spreading or defending democracy across several planets neighboring super-earth. So this week one faction might have gained some ground, so everyone is encouraged to fight on that front, but the next week there might be an order to push back the border of the opposite faction. I believe there is one person, Joel, who is in charge of playing dungeon master for the overarching war.
At a player level, the status of the war will determine which planets are available to do missions on and what your personal challenges will be set to (to reward you for contributing to the cause). This updates on a near daily cycle and adds a bunch of great variety to the environments and challenges you'll face.
