This is your hourly reminder that being born into a family that owns an emerald mine doesn't automatically make you a fucking genius

Web 2.0 was a house of cards all this time I suppose

Morning dudes

I’m very happy to see a casualUK replacement for the suddenly redditless. I literally signed up to Lemmy about 10 minutes ago so I’m still feeling this thing out!

I’m looking forward to arguing about crisps with you all 🙃

I haven’t found Lemmy confusing to use at all. And I found that to be a big surprise. I expected more hurdles to have to jump to get started like Mastodon.

The one big issue so far has been the lag, upvotes not being sent, comments/communities not loading, etc. But the reasons for that are pretty understandable in my opinion.

America, you are teetering on the edge

Ceasefire is a Russian victory, Russia can fuck off home at any time if they want to appease the African Union

It kinda feels like I’m being chased offline

Thanks for all the fine work, dudes

TV Tropes

I loved the maps and I loved that each one had a central focal point that the story gravitated towards. Endwalker was incredible for different reasons but Shadowbringers was an unbelievable experience.

Children of Memory by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It's been a while since I read anything of his and I'm loving it.

That’s very funny and very very sad

I get some satisfaction from knowing he’s rattled, I suppose. But from the state of the internet in 2023, that’s a very thin silver lining on a very black cloud

Speaking of CRPGs, I just played Baldur’s Gate 1 for the first time, funnily enough. It was a great game which is not exactly a controversial opinion but I wasn’t expecting it to be so fucking funny also. It was very very very hard though.

I also downloaded DOS2 but it felt like I needed a breather after BG so I’ll get to it when I can commit some time to it.

When Minecraft was still fresh, there were times when the landscape was absolutely jaw dropping.

So I’d imagine the medium term goal is to cut the land bridge to Crimea?
