Check out The Boat That Rocked. It's based on true events from the 1960s.

First time hearing about this YT channel. Thanks for sharing.

In no particular order as to why I left Reddit to join Lemmy:

• Reddit became a chore just to see good content. (This is even after the fact of filtering out unrelated or unwanted subreddits in my feed.)
• The comment sections on Reddit became worse and worse with more joke/meme comments than actually related comments, low effort comments, bot spam, and the burial of your comment for no one to see, (or care to reply to,) if you were to comment on a post or comment more than 24 hours after it's original posting. (Most of the time it felt like you had maybe 8 hours before it seemed to be a waste to comment.) Why would anyone stick around to comment or reply if nearly no one is going to engage?
• (Like many others have mentioned in the comments,) if you mentioned or talked about anything that wasn't considered good, you were often blasted with downvotes and/or comments.
• How often you saw rinse and repeat content, questions, and sometimes comments. (I'll admit. I took part in the rinse and repeat content 'sharing' and I wish I hadn't done it for so long. The karma whoring was real for me.)
• Concerns (then later the reality check,) about how much Reddit is an echo chamber.
• /u/Spez showing us who he really is.
• Not liking the direction Reddit was heading. Writing on the wall when they fired Victoria Taylor
• The API fiasco.
• Movement towards IPO.

Lemmy doesn't have any of these problems that I've experienced. Lemmy feels very much like a grass roots movement and I like that. I wish the communities that I am a part of had more active users, but that will more likely come with time.

No worries. The attempt to recall a memory was good enough.

Happy New Year.

I'd like to give a shoutout to all of the Wikipedia editors who created, edited, and updated obscure Wikipedia pages. The sure number of interesting things I wouldn't have learned about if it wasn't for you would be quite limited.

(FYI: There is a community on here for Wikipedia pages worth sharing.)

Haha. Yeah, I found it a bit too fast as well. Setting it to 75-80% playback speed worked well.

Ooohh. That would make a lot of sense for this situation.

Yeah, that wasn't my angle at all. I was just wanting the community of askwomen@lemmy.ca to become active again.

No doubt. I don't understand why it's getting hate. I simply used the question I asked on askwomen@lemmy.ca, because it hadn't gotten any replies.

Don't give up.

I believe so. ::: spoiler spoiler Though, this was a while ago. Back in May of 2023. But I do recall messing with a pawn near the end... but there were plenty of pawns throughout the game. Now you have me second guessing and it makes me want to play through the game again to make sure I didn't miss anything haha. :::

I genuinely had heard plenty of praise that I checked it out more and really liked what I saw in gameplay. I was going to wait till it went on 25% off then pick it up. Then Xbox Game Studios had the brain dead idea to shut down the whole studio that made one of the best new IPs in recent years. After hearing about this, I decided right there that I wasn't going to buy it ever.

Superliminal

"Perception is reality. In this mind-bending first-person puzzler, you escape a surreal dream world through solving impossible puzzles using the ambiguity of depth and perspective."

It's a fun first person puzzle game that has a surreal theme and game mechanic to it. Most of the puzzles and levels will make you really think. While there was a puzzle that really stumped me, I ended up having to look online to figure it out because I had been going at it for over 30 minutes and had tried numerous things to get it to work. But as a whole, I found the game puzzles to be worthwhile, to obtain the ending game. The storytelling and narration is similar to The Stanley Parable, which was an interesting game but too short for my liking. And unfortunately, so was Superliminal. I've clocked 3.4 hours in-game and at least 30 or so minutes of that was just trying to figure out one of the puzzles in a room. I honestly was hoping for the game to provide me with at least 4-5 hours of gameplay. So... a 7/10 is what I would end up giving it.

Great question.

I originally was looking for motivation to start and keep going on things. But I'm open to similar things.

Planning, time management, procrastination and worryments are all things that I would like to find some videos to help get me in gear and focused.

As a dude... no. That seems like a great way to jack up my junk. Squshing my balls being the biggest worry in this arrangement.

Seeing this comment once... was enough. But a second time? Sheesh. /j

Thanks. ....hey, wait a minute.

I want to believe that the county dunce lives here.

Make your bed.

The best gosh darn thumper there ever was!
