Audentes Fortuna Iuvat

  • That was actually the show I had in mind when I asked the question! 😁 It's another one we quote constantly. If I ever want my wife to come see something cool I did, I'll ask her if she's marvelling "Did you marvel?! Are you marvelling?".

  • I n..need to do a wee! 🤣

  • Definitely worth mentioning but also definitely not underrated! We still quote it almost daily "Awright, 'arry? D'you see that ludicrous display last night?" 🤣

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    What was the most under rated British TV show ever for you?

  • Watch... They'll make money by virtue signalling "no AI use" and then the second AI inevitably goes mainstream pivot to showing off because they use "the best AI". The trick is to make money no matter which way the wind blows.

  • 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.

  • Games @sh.itjust.works

    What have been your top 3 games played so far during this break?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The urge to shout "HE CAN CHANGE! YOU DON'T KNOW HIM LIKE I DO!" is pretty strong right now 🤣

  • I'd love to see what happens if I keep being nice and you keep doubling down on the negative vibes, but it seems to me we're already straining several of this community's rules so I'm gonna leave it there. Enjoy the rest of your day.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    I get a lot of ideas in the shower. Do any of you use any kind of waterproof note taking pad and pen so you can catch those ideas before they vanish in the steam?

  • Games @lemmy.world

    Anyone try the demo for Tavern Keeper on Steam yet? It's....... yeah.

  • Games @lemmy.world

    Is it me or does it seem like review bombing on Steam has become so much worse recently?

  • Games @lemmy.world

    I just want to rush down a steep ramp, jump, hear whooshing sounds and land (with skis on my feet and in first person) for points.

  • 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?

  • Games @lemmy.world

    Suggestions for a top down game that is genuinely different to all the others?

    Do you feel safe enough to disclose your ADHD when you go to job interviews?

    If scientists could make you immortal but could only do it by transferring your consciousness into a single video game for ever, which game would you choose?
