  • If you replace "houses" with "beginning of songs I started to write" that is very much my situation. I thought it was just because I lacked discipline or just couldn't get my head around song structure until I found out about ADHD.

  • This will get buried but he isn't. What he is doing is everything he can to appear that way. Think about it. He carefully picked a country whose leader no one would cry over if he kidnapped him. It was a quick strike with a few helicopters. The rest is just posturing. This is a shell of a man desperate for people to stop laughing at him. In a wider sense Republicans can't seem to get people to love them so they can only get their rocks off by trying to scare the most amount of people possible. Let's get back to getting those Epstein files released and not being distracted.

  • FENTON! OH, JESUS CHRIST! FENTON!

  • That there's an aspect of every relationship that always starts the same. It's two people bringing richness to each other, almost like Kings and Queens coming together bringing their lands and wealth with them.

    Over time though that richness can fade and instead of bringing richness they start begging for it from the other person. If you find that you're in a relationship with someone and that both of you have turned into "beggars" whose life can only be complete if the other person performs a task or meets an expectation, the relationship will weaken and that weakness will invite other problems.

    The solution, if you have become a "beggar" in a relationship, is to mentally detach yourself from the other person and spend some time alone trying to reconnect with what made you a rich resource in the first place. You must remind yourself what it was that made you a King or Queen and focus on regrowing those seeds of richness and independence from the other person. Then, once you have placed that crown back on your head you can return to the other person and offer your richness once again.

    I've never forgotten that and it's led to a happy marriage for 14 years. Also works with friendships and working/business relationships.

  • Dying industry pats itself on the back one last time.

  • No, I mean I've heard clown award farming is apparently a thing on Steam but I don't know what it's about.

  • Didn't have to look far to find this in the reviews (about a free game lol)

    "worst steaming pile of ♥♥♥♥ ive ever put my hands on, do not make games EVER again"

    I'm assuming this person was just clown award farming? What's up with that anyway? Do clown awards convert to something they need?

  • The butthurt and hate over AI sounds like a new thing but I think it's basically your 2001: A space odyssey monolith monkey scene ⬛️🐒. It's how we've reacted to every big sudden advance in technology that we weren't quite ready for. There's going to be a whole lot more leaping and screaming and throwing things. There will probably be some big fights over it and then some of the more sensible monkeys will just settle down, decide to just use the useful things and ignore the dumb things. There's probably something much much worse than AI coming up anyway. Guarantee that there will be some people 30 years from now, trying to survive whatever it is and reminiscing about how we thought it was AI that was going to destroy us.

  • And Princess Bride, Spinal Tap, A Few Good Men, Misery, Stand By Me and many others. Wow...

  • Sadly that is the trend, but not always (thank goodness). I do think people are getting wise to this smoke and mirrors garbage though. Anyone can make a sexy looking rendered scene. Without a hint of what the actual gameplay will look like, it's just pointless.

  • Visually stunning? check Meaningless? check About as relevant to the actual game as that Witcher 4 Unreal Engine tech demo? check checkety check.

  • Just been through it and it was bad. Took the whole family down within hours. Panic, delirium, gut cramps, dizziness, complete loss of appetite, violent unstoppable coughing, just complete shut down and survive time. Lasted 3 weeks. Better now but we all have some minor residual bronchial stuff going on that is dragging on although very gradually improving. I'll never skip flu shots again.

  • I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

  • Really nice list and well laid out too. Currently downloading the demo for Revenge of the Savage Planet from it :) (and have now bought it. Such a fun game!)

  • I don't imagine there are any online forums that aren't being manipulated by professional shills every day. I recently decided to block any community that posted anything political. The silence that has followed has been quite blissful.

  • "Damn I really messed up the middle one's face. Never mind I'll make them all stare at her p***y instead and I'll make her look underage too"

    Disturbing stuff man...

  • Multiplayer games are absolutely off limits cheating wise for me. HOWEVER... using trainers and mods and things like Cheat Engine in single player games is not only ok, but I often treat it like it's a mini game. Can I give myself an extra 100k gold? Hmm fire up CE and let's see :)

    The immense thrill I get from reducing some horrible grind from hours to minutes is just huge fun. I'm basically a sandbox guy. GTA5 cheats, for example, have led to more unexpected sandbox fun than I could ever have imagined over the years.

    Not using cheats in single player grindfests is like having a first class ticket on a plane but choosing to travel economy. I think it's basically that I don't like being told to grind for the sake of it or for some "moral" reason.

    I love a FUN grind though. I've spent days in games like My Time At Portia just fishing for example. It comes down to this: If a grind is fun, I'll happily do it but if it's just like I'm a mouse being toyed with by some cat then hello God mode lol

  • Sainsbury's Meal Deal (Xmas themed) "Pigs Under Blankets" sandwich - with cranberry chutney on malted bread. Cumberland sausage, beechwood smoked bacon, cranberry chutney and mayonnaise on malted bread.

    Just an average sandwich really, nothing to write home about. Ate it about an hour ago. Best bit was the "grab bag" of barbecue beef hula hoops that I got with it in the meal deal.

  • Excellent! Thanks for those :)

  • ADHD @lemmy.world

    Because of my extroverted ADHD behaviours I assume that every social group I join will eventually have "had enough of me". Anyone else experience this?

    Is there any way to search through all the games on Steam for titles that don't use the word "dystopian" anywhere in the description?
