  • Photoslop

  • The CIA and Chinese troll farms lately

  • They are saying people who don’t understand high school basics are useful idiots for billionaires because they’re easily manipulated

    Nothing about a school curriculum conspiracy was mentioned, so it’s especially weird that you put billionaire conspiracy in quotes

  • Do birds have more brain myelination than reptiles? How do the compare to mammals?

  • Love this game, the pixel art is unreal.

  • This shit is so stupid. It’s genuinely tragic that grown adults believe these things still.

  • I honestly think driving and League of Legends brings this out of people for the same reason but I have no evidence.

    There must be something about relying on the actions of strangers and participating in an activity with measurable and communal “right ways to do things” that brings out so much vitriol.

    Perceived slights, overestimating one’s own ability, shared misfortune on mistakes, I could go on forever.

  • The other day my wife was watching YouTube on the TV while I was doing some chores. Turns on a video titled something like “The boy love Trump administration chart - with evidence.”

    The narrator begins, “First I have to make it clear, Trump is an OMEGA.”

    And I’m like, “What the hell is an Omega?”

    And my wife just slips in casually, “Oh it’s a common boy love term that means a tough guy who can get pregnant.”

    Women do not fuck around when cooking up smut.

  • Not every new law is a slippery slope that leads to something, this line of reasoning is literally a fallacy.

    When we blocked youth from drinking, we didn’t inch towards making it illegal for people in their 30s did we? Worst we got was like 21 in some places.

  • Great!

  • This might sound extreme but it took my partner and I deciding to have large meals for breakfast and lunch and then not eating after 1pm. There’s this health YouTuber Bryan Johnson who tries to perfect sleep, and this is one of his strategies.

    Digestion speeds up heart rate, so ensuring your stomach is empty around 9 lowers it significantly and helps make you super sleepy.

    We’d usually have a light breakfast, something simple like a couple eggs for lunch, then a massive meal in the evening. Freeing up the evening is super liberating because usually we’re burnt out after work but still need to cook. We basically reverse this schedule.

    Meal prep is somewhat important to pull this off, but we’re finding easier meals as we go. Helps to cook in the morning as you are well rested. Bananas around 5pm are fine if you need a boost because they digest in under an hour.

    We now fall asleep within 10 minutes of going to bed (meds or no meds) and wake up without an alarm between 5-6am. We then either cook, game, or work on personal projects with full energy.

  • This is really critical I found, but also is making a resolution to follow it when I get home every night.

  • I’m sad that they had to use streamer cards as a way to sell their indie gam, because otherwise it does look kind of fun

  • SipsTea

    Jump
  • Because every Mother’s Day has a mother’s night!

  • On the upside, maybe western youngsters value having a personal life they enjoy more.

  • So according to the article America only saw a 3.5% drop in international spending and Canadians make up a quarter of that spending?

    Barely a drop in the bucket, is this headline even justified?

  • You’re getting downvoted because the truth hurts. Most people are here are not devs on competitive games clearly. What sane developer would multiply their anticheat costs for .01% player growth?

    It’s a network effect issue. More people need to game on Linux before it’s relevant enough to support for competitive multiplayer games. Same reason why Riot dropped it.

  • When people may get into a competitive game, data shows that they commit to it as their primary game.

    It becomes a part of their identity. You see things like Leage of Legends going strong despite a slow down in new players - people just commit to it for better or for worse, likely because most of the skills they’ve gained in it and friends they’ve made will not transfer to other games. Even other FPS games have different nuances that are non trivial once a player becomes serious about winning.

    Take Wild Rift vs Mobile Legends Bang Bang. MLBB is objectively a worse rip off of League of Legends and the Chinese game Glory of Kings, but it was first to market on mobile. Now that League has released their mobile version with immense polish and quality, many mobile moba gamers just aren’t interested - they’re already totally invested in their main game, despite it being proved in court that it’s a cheap copy. (Not cheap as in $$$ though)

    When you’re a kid, spending time on any competitive game will be fun (if you can handle the baseline toxicity) since you will start bad at most of them. When you get older there is a real cost to switching, you will not have as much fun until you build up the years of muscle memory that would be needed to even approach your skill at the previous game.

    Because of the lock in, if a competitive game finds a sizeable enough player base and lasts a good handful of years, the devs essentially get free rein to milk their cow as they see fit.
