The older I get the less I care about endless gameplay loops and carrot on a stick mechanics. A good story keeps me invested and caring about what happens on the screen. Games like God of War, Last of us, Witcher are gold standards when it comes to this. They are not movies on rails, they are engaging and interactive experiences like you can't find anywhere else and for this I will always love these types of games more than any other medium.

Edit: OP literally mentioned these games as examples lower down in the thread.

They were so fucking elitist in the past it was hard for anyone else to enjoy themselves because they did not fit the mold of tRuE gamers.

Lately I seem to be collecting unfinished games. The very last game I finished was Cyberpunk 2077 and that was a few months ago, on patch 1.6 I think. I absolutely loved it and I'm definitely planning to buy the dlc and go through it again. I'm a sucker for good story and interactive experiences, couple that with the cyberpunk genre, this was the game of this year for me, no doubt.

Amen to this. OP if you focused on career and income by this point maybe you have some spare money to use on a personal fitness coach. They will help guide and motivate you which long term should help with all manner of issues you might be dealing with, from mental to health. Good luck. You can do it!

Totally agree with this although it's a uniquely an american problem. In my neck of the woods, cars are more sensible and I would still say there's a lot more room for improvement, both in what people are alowed to take on the roads and public transportation options.

But the circlejerk that is fuckcars makes even the people driving the Renault Twizy seem like monsters.

The fuckcars community has their nose so far up their ass, they think any kind of personal transportation is the devils spawn and no amount of improvents will fix that. In their eyes, everyone should be forced to live in dense urban environments and ride some kind of shared public transportation everywhere.

There are good talking points in their propaganda, for sure, but just like everything today, the echo chamber is so strong, they are now extremists on the matter.

I never used the site but as far as I've seen, whenever you encounter an asshole the only option was to skip to the next person. Was there a report button? A voting system might have worked, where down voted people or bots would be isolated and excluded from the community.

Have you watched the video? Consent was absolutely not given, he grabbed her head and kissed her on the lips. She kept smiling because they were in the middle of celebrating success and she just went with the moment instead of making a scene, but she clearly stated in the locker room on video that she didn't approve.

Not trying to take the side of any one in this conflict since it seems to be such a complete cluster fuck, just trying to understand. How does one go from terrorists attack and kill civilians, take hostages and hide behind other civilians, get attacked indiscriminately by Israel as response, turn into Israel is just looking to expand and conquer just like 40s Germany?

I thought that was Hover Zoom many years ago. I hope Imagus hasn't followed the same path, it's a very useful tool.

Honestly the less you can live with the better. For me essentials are always ublock for ads, imagus for better image viewing while browsing and simple translate because I deal with a lot of languages. Also containers is useful for work.

That's NFT. Not quite the same thing. Built on crypto tech, sure, but just a subset of the tech and how it ended up used was very much a scam.

Even with good hearing you can fly consumer drones high enough that no one on the ground can hear them.

It's very confusing because there's settings for it in the apps, then there settings for it in your account and finally some instances don't even federate with NSFW content so you have to check at all 3 levels to get it working.

Apparently the bed bug issues are getting worse as they have become more resistant to insecticides as well over the years.

Most airlines do the same shit in Europe, and what makes it worse is that when you buy tickets in groups or with your partner for example, they intentionally place you separate even if there is free space next to one of the seats so that you then have to buy at least one seat to place it next to the other assigned seat. Wizzair actually used to place people together before, but then they intentionally broke it and now charge 40€ for the solution to the problem they created.

I'm happy to hear that regulators are getting involved now.

That's interesting. It's very rarely that I need to adjust the brightness manually on mine. Most of the time it's perfect the way it handles it automatically.

How is a month of Facebook worth as much as a video streaming service like Netflix? How doest that value compare?

This has never worked on reddit and there's no reason why it would work here. That's why subreddits had moderation and things that were posted in the wrong sub got removed.

It's not even tech news, really. More like a service announcement only valid in the US.
