Who are these "analysts"? And why should I care?

Wanting the games industry to constantly grow is corpo speak, and what shareholders want. I just want good games. And there's already a lot of good games out there I haven't had time to play yet. Fuck these asshats, and their lust for growth.

I generally like how small studios don't try to make hyper realistic graphics and force crunch time on their employees.

The article presents such a dystopian and shitty vision of how the videogames industry should be. Keep growing or else!

Freeze!

Is this an episode of Sick Sad World? 🤭

Yes you can. What helped me was to keep asking myself, "what kind of person do I want to be?"

That internal mantra guided me to make different choices to become a different person, a better one, generally. And it's not even big decisions/choices. It was a lot of little things that I did differently, but consistently.

I'm not saying it's easy. It's a process. I had to keep constant, that question, in my mind. Like others have said, habits are hard to break, so it will take some persistence.

Good luck.

He's right, cuz he had his fingers crossed while he was being sworn in. 🤞

"Sir, this is a lemmy instance." 😛

For me, it's about using the right tool for the job. Sometimes, using full GUI file manager is overkill, especially for copying just one file, and you know exactly where you want to copy it from and to.

And a TUI file manager like mc, ranger, nnn are a good in between level of ui, and is great for browsing files distraction free from the visual clutter of a full GUI file manager. That may seem like not a big deal, but I think it's nice to be able to see things simply and straight to the point. For me, it just feels nice and less frustrating.

What I like about Linux is choice. And in this case, choice in file management. Pick the right tool, and you'll get things done more efficiently, and with less annoyance.

Looks great, very professional. Good luck! 👍

What about DOOM 2016? I thought it was great. I'll admit, I didn't play much of original DOOM, but 2016 feels like what I wanted DOOM to be if there was better graphics tech available.

I can see how some people can get trapped in a bubble of Google and FB. I hope they can realize that Google, FB, Reddit, and Twitter are not "the internet".

I stopped using FB when the timeline became useless (it was hard to filter to a specific friend or family member), and also that I no longer wanted to see updates from people I didn't even want to hear from. I have since switched to smaller and more personally curated social media platforms like a group chat or a discord server.

Sure google is a common homepage for a lot of people, but there are other alternatives that work well. TBH, a few years ago, I wanted to switch to DuckDuckGo, but their search results were lacking compared to google, but fast forward to now, DDG gives more accurate and useful results than Google's ad driven and AI driven "search results".

I've enjoyed my "internet experience" much better after switching from Reddit to Lemmy. Just the fact that it's not driven by profit, and policy changes are not a the whim of a monolithic corporation, makes the experience much better. I generally don't see people trying to grift on lemmy. I really appreciate the useful and well thought out comments/posts on lemmy compared to other platforms.

Also, Mastodon is so much more enjoyable to use than Twitter (deadnaming it, I don't care).

I recently switched my main desktop from windows to linux, and now my download speeds are much faster. I guess now I know why. 😬
