The worst is when you see a low sub count channel owner respond with the sincerest gratitude, like it really made their day to get such a supportive comment. I never have the heart to tell them, but I do try to leave an actual supportive comment of my own to sort of balance it out

Let's start calling it skill golf instead of miniature golf

"And now, available for a limited time from within the Disney vault!"

Beautiful photo, the sky even posed with a heart for it

I always see a lot of discouraging responses whenever protests are brought up. I don't think protests on their own will solve most major issues, but they're indicative of people caring enough to start going out of their way to do things, and can have awareness and ripple effects on a population.

How about instead of discouraging people from protesting as if it's pointless, encourage them to keep up that energy and recommend what else they can do now that they're all fired up and engaged? Why not fan the flame instead of raining on it?

I'll take one ticket please. Awesome seeing it animated

As someone who avoids swearing, this really makes me want to start

Is that the Smithy sword from Super Mario RPG about to descend on the White House?

Cast magic missile, make him dance

Edit: can you make the spell deliberately miss? I tend to avoid playing casters

This is still my default. One day I'll break the habit

Can I come over?

I wanted so bad to enjoy this game, but I felt like it did not return the sentiment. The biggest challenge was trying to get Arthur to do what I actually wanted him to do.

OSX was the big change in feel for me, and I really didn't like it though I can't put my foot on why. Hmmmm. Our first home computer was a Macintosh Plus, and we had Macs exclusively for a really long time. I eventually switched to Windows XP for my first PC I put together myself. I still miss the old Macintosh systems 1-9, and sometimes I get Linux themes based on them for a nostalgia fix. I also love using Mini vMac to emulate those older systems.

I think part of it was that they (the pre OSX systems) felt full of signs and evidence that they were made by actual people. It wasn't overly polished corporate product. They felt amateur in a way, I guess? I don't know man, it just felt so much more real. Like it was made by people who worked on it because they thought it was cool or fun.

Thank goodness I eventually found Linux.

computer were ugly grey box with noisy fan and a hard drive that gave the impression a cockroach colony were trying to escape your case.

I miss it so much

Lemm.ee made me feel welcome and cozy in this new experience that was Lemmy. Admins and users I frequently noticed were chill and seemed to be overall decent folk. Appreciate everyone that made that instance what it was, thank you all and see you around on/from other instances.

Do it! Even if it's just a reason to learn more programming. Those are always fun projects

I think of two things: asphalt, and trouble.

Man, I love this game.

I tried this after seeing Action Retro use it a few times to see if he could make it work on older machines he was tinkering with. Love the old school/simpler FPS feel of it, and the lack of nonsense. Boot it up, play

I've been playing a single ship only save this time around and it's been a ton of fun. I allow myself to use fighters if a ship has a fighter bay, but no escorts (except mission NPCs of course).

I don't know why but I absolutely love asteroid mining. It's not like it's deep or complex, but it just feels so satisfying somehow.

Fight it out!
