Commander Keen in my early years. But the first game that really got me into 3D gaming was probably Acclaim's ShadowMan. It's still an absolute masterpiece. Great visuals, amazing storytelling...and that creepy soundtrack is just burned into my brain. Probably had some nightmares from that when I was a kid. 😄
It never quite felt right. We were really close friends sharing a lot with each other and hanging out multiple times a week, so after a while I developed feelings for him. But something always felt off to me, so I let it stay that way and didn't push it any further.
He completely destroyed our friendship in a span of a few weeks by suddenly centering his whole life around one dude and behaving like I never existed. It still hurt to be cut off like that, but I'm happy it didn't hurt more.
They were forced by the EU to add a browser choice option in Windows XP so users can easily get rid of IE.
A few years later and they try the same shit all over again.
Open up the communities you feel are really missing! I did so with !apocalypticart@feddit.de and so far, it's going great judging from the subscribers.
I just wish other people than me would start posting there, but that'll come eventually :)
I love that Lemmy has a small, but dedicated userbase and much less flamewars than Reddit. Seems like most people are actually here for good content and not just trolling everyone else.
I also like that the feed just ends eventually and I can close the app instead of doomscrolling through the whole night.
And I hope that toxic gamification features like global karma or awards will always stay out of here. The dopamine rushes from those are just bad for my brain and these features are really unneccessary.
There is surprisingly less of this on the Fediverse. On Reddit I had a massive blocklist with words like Biden, Trump, DeSantos, AOC etc. and I still wasn't saved from all of the bullshit over in the land of the free.
I rarely see all of that crap here and it's honestly very refreshing.
I'm doing a real four day workweek since the beginning of this year and I'm never going back. And by "real" I mean 4x8 hours.
There are so many companies out there trying to push 4x10 as a benefit. Dude...that's just the same amount of work in one day less. I want to get more work life balance, not burn myself out faster than before.
A lot of old farts telling people like me we are too lazy and need to work harder. Their rage is my fuel. Since the economy is fucked anyway and working late into the night only benefits my employer, I might as well just take a little salary loss and do the things I like instead.
