  • Case closed.

    This question does get asked a lot, as someone else pointed out. But even if you go back to when it was asked a couple of years ago the consensus has always been lemmings.

  • Grosse Point Blank is not my favourite film of all time. But it's the only one I've ever been able to honestly give a perfect 10/10 score.

    The story, the cast, the script, the pacing, obviously the soundtrack, there is just not a single flaw I can find.

  • We do an extended edition marathon at least twice a year, sometimes more if it's been a tough time. Last time we watched them was the week before getting married, to distract me from my stress.

    I'm currently rereading the books and once that's done we'll do our first marathon as marrieds! 😄

    I simultaneously hate to think, and also am very proud, of how many times we must have seen them by now.

  • Yeah it's not a Liftoff thing. It's also not unique to Kbin users either, I've seen the same happen in threads that were staarted from Mastodon but also occasionally in threads from actual Lemmy users so still trying to figure out the pattern. Obviously some kind of mismatch between the settings where the thread was created and where you're commenting from but beyond that.... 🤷‍♀️

  • I understand intellectually that following "celebrities" and hearing about the minutia of their lives is something that a lot of people want. But for the life of me, I can't really grasp it. I'm glad there are platforms that cater to that sort of thing for you.

    Definitely going to be an unpopular opinion that it's a "con" though, I expect most here would consider it a feature.

  • Bubblebath. Whatever the problem, bubblebath.

    Although if you're in the US I think a lot of you have weirdly small baths over there so might not be quite as great an option. ymmv.

  • Love how OP thinks whatever this is is just normal common knowledge and the rest of us are like....erm....

  • Non-ironically, we did get a new hoover recently and it was a very exciting day so I get you! Although I kinda wish I didn't 😅

  • On the bright side this post is making me feel really young. So you've got that going for you!

  • Creepily excellent memory...although only for things that are pointless or people would really rather I didn't remember.

  • Not to be harsh, but you've asked this question a few times in different ways over the last few weeks. My suggestion and advice is, download Godot and find a tutorial and give it a try. You can't find out whether you'll enjoy something by reading about it, only by doing it.

  • I've found that the trick is not to actually sub to meme communities, even if you want to see them. That way you can browse your subscribed feed for all the discussion on the topics you want, but then you can switch over to All > Top Day or whatever and still end up seeing most of the memes in there because they're so popular.

  • So when I was little my room was arranged in a way that if I was in bed, my head was opposite the door. I would sleep with the door open so lying on my side I was looking out onto the landing. Our stairs were just outside my door and they were open to the living room below, I found the light and the vague murmuring of the tv to be comforting I guess.

    Until I started having this recurring dream. I'd be lying in bed, looking out at the dimly-lit landing as per. I'd hear the tv get turned off and my parents start to climb the stairs, also as per. But when they got to the top and came into view they wouldn't be my parents at all, they were....dun dun duuuuuun...big scary dragons! They'd see me looking and come into my room and stand menacingly over me, and then I'd wake up.

    I started shutting my bedroom door after that.

  • Oh my god this would actually be amazing! Needs some thinking about though. Like if you want them all to be the same colour but not the default one, having to go in and set it for each of your accounts would be annoying. So maybe the colour setting stays where it is but then each account has kind of an optional "override"? This is just off the top of my head I'm sure someone better at UX than me has a better idea.

  • Same thing happens when you take up knitting, except in that case it's a bit fuzzier and softer and more fun to rub on your face.

  • The only times I've really been downvoting is if someone is giving out completely incorrect information, like in a support thread or something, and confusing matters. It's not a personal judgement or anything, just trying to keep things clear for the person asking the question.

    If I disagree with a comment, well no biggie. Sometimes it's worth discussing like adults and sometimes it's just a subjective opinion. If it's offensive, I'll report it and block the user.

  • I do not. In fact I've been too embarrassed to reply to this comment for 2 days because the truth is I've not had as much time for gaming as I used to, am getting old, and I'm basically entirely out of the loop.

    But then I remembered this isn't Reddit and I probably won't get attacked for admitting it, so here we are! This is part of why I'm really looking forward to our trip in a few weeks. No internet connection, just some stuff I download in advance, it'll be really nice to catch up on some things I've missed!

    Also I've just stumbled across !rhythmgames@lemm.ee (Lemmy / Kbin) which looks decently active and is going to do real damage to my wallet, worth a look if you've not seen it yet 🙂
