Her Morrowind high elf cosplay is impeccable though

Neither does Memmy for Lemmy. Plus it has a cute name

Omg i just tried 24.04 in a vm for testing. I really hate the direction they’re taking gnome. I know they’re trying this minimalist thing, but it’s horrendous. I’ve been gone for a few releases, and this is the first time I’ve used Ubuntu and thought “this is garbage”. Like it’s become so dumbed down.

Maybe my tastes have changed, I dunno

Yeah I guess I should revise my statement. I haven’t paid the full 60-70 price for AAA game in a very long time.

Indie games seem to be priced more fairly, most of the ones I’ve bought tend to be 20-25 dollars.

And I’ve never bought any kind of special edition, unless it’s an older game and it comes with all the dlc bundled, like oblivion GOTY edition or something.

But I’m also a /r/patientgamer so I don’t really see a reason to buy something just because it’s new and shiny, unless it’s some kind of multiplayer. But most of them have become such a quick burn where the player base drops after a year when the hype train moves to the next stop, I don’t really see the point in buying them

I’ve never paid full price for a game. Not in a very long time. And I don’t buy transactions. 🤷

Yeah I really hate how gamer culture has changed. It’s non stop bitching. Yeah there can be bugs in games, it happens. Lmao you telling me there were no bugs in the games I bought on disk twenty years ago and there was no infrastructure to digitally update them? I’ve got boxes of old pc games that I can use to prove this is just something that happens.

People act like there are nothing but bad releases anymore but 23/24 have had phenomenal titles. I’d say this is a great time for the industry as long as you’re not stupid enough to buy micro transactions and $150 collectors editions Lmao

Thank you. I’m only just starting rebuilding my local music collection. I’m tired of Apple Music dropping music or playing with versions. I’m hoping to build my own streaming server

Spotify joins the chat

No

Do you have android or Apple? I was the only one with an Apple. Not saying they’re better, I’m just trying so see if there was a difference or if it was a software thing

I’ve never had TikTok, and i showered.

But I’m not saying it from a conspiracy angle, I’m viewing it from a huh, technology is weird sometimes angle. Or more like, I want to understand why from a technical standpoint.

It’s super weird. Me and my coworkers all have AT&T, and none of their phones worked and mine worked perfectly the whole day.

The problem is, we need caps on profit margins on necessities, and to stop the making of things we need for basic survival investment opportunities.

But that would be difficult to get done. So they go for the low hanging fruit of wages, which never permanently solve anything because they’ll just keep raising prices under this scamflation cycle we’ve been in since COVID.

I was 34 when I first got it March 2020. I have no other health issues. I am not overweight. Covid fucked me up. My lungs were messed up for six months. I had long Covid for a year. My lungs are still not the same. I couldn’t smoke weed again if I wanted to (I was not a smoker at the time, but I did when I was younger). Then I got it two more times before vaccines were widely available. I’m a shell of the energy I had before, and I really feel like it did something to my brain

eh, I don’t mess for fandoms unless you count tech, then in that case, IRC and Matrix are super busy. same with general chats usually.

I pay plenty of taxes. from my full time job, my purchases, my personal property taxes, my breathing tax. I pay taxes to the city, state, and federal government. Nothing would be underfunded if we didn’t spend so much providing weapons to bomb children as well as doing it ourselves.

That’s why I just stick to old school chat rooms, forums, etc.

Pot has been illegal in my state my entire life, still smoked it. I still speed on the highway. It’s all a game of cat and mouse. I’ll live my life my way no matter what rules they make. one day it could be illegal to love who I want. It won’t stop me though :)

shit like this is why I won’t declare my upwork earnings. My dad declared nothing for his side job construction work for 30+ years and faced no issues, why should I with my digital work.

I already found a loophole for not having to pay a fine for lack of insurance. I’m sure I can find one for this. I mean, the 1% do it…

You too! Merry Christmas!
