Saw a toddler with a phone in hand today, maybe a year. Couldn’t walk yet, but had no trouble scrolling.

Definitely needed.

It’s pretty good, handcrafted encounters. It’s named “Additional Enemies - More Encounters and Fights”

It’s called “Additional Enemies - More Encounters and Fights”. The fights fit pretty well IMO.

More fights would also be fun. I’m using a mod that adds some.

I’m in Japan, playing the Steam version. No censorship there.

I’d like to know, too. Especially considering most servers I’m on are unlikely to switch.

It’s my game of the decade, almost got as much playtime as Civ5 by now, and no signs of burnout. That’s pretty amazing.

“human animals”… reminiscent of “Untermenschen”.

We don’t have the medical treatment yet. But we’re getting close.

Gonna check out Connect, thank you :)

I don’t think Lemmy will reach or overtake Reddit. That’s a good thing in my opinion, because massive platforms come with massive moderation problems that aren’t so easy to tackle for decentralised networks. We’ve seen that when someone posted kiddie porn and several servers went down to scrub the filth from their systems.

If anything, Lemmy already has a pretty high amount of troll communities, thankfully mostly contained within their own servers, which enables separation through defederation (speaking of defederation, I’d love to have an option to block servers on the user level).

I’d think it’s more that there’s now more media fighting your attention. When I was a kid (GenX here), we had a handful of TV channels and books. Books was what I went with.

Nowadays, I get home from work and watch something on YouTube before bed. I still read, but my standards have risen, and a trashy space opera won’t do it anymore for me. It has to be a great one now, and there are fewer of them. So, naturally, YouTube gets a bigger share of my time. Or games, when I have time to play on the weekends. My comfort game used to be Civilization, and currently I’m hooked on Baldurs Gate.

What exactly is the “truth” in that zero effort meme?

Not everyone is an English native.

I only have four or five extensions and YouTube videos lag. It’s Firefox. I’ll still not switch to anything else, but I could imagine a clean Chrome without anything added and zero bookmarks purely as video platform.

Which role does Leonardo DeCaprio play?

That’s like Vito Corleone complaining about bugs in his office.

Chihiro 2: Spirited Again

purpose

Okay, so what you’re saying is that you think friction creates a sense of purpose. That might be true. People in Mexico are probably more happy about little things and enjoy them more, because that’s what they have. Less freedom of choice paradox to contend with, and less free time to sink into depression (I believe in “the olden times”, people were just too tired from fighting to survive to sit down and have an existential crisis). That sounds like a valid idea and is supporting your point.

The question is, how can we combine my (borrowed from the Culture series) idea of a post scarcity society with your idea of a psychological need for friction? Do you think it’s impossible to simulate the same feeling of need for something to result in the same strain that then causes happiness?
