  • a “Made for Apple” type of cable

    That is absolutely ridiculous, but not surprising at all.

  • One of the good things coming out of the EU.

    I still wonder if Apple will do a split between EU iPhones and the rest of the world, though. Lightning accessories make money.

  • A lot of modern games just adhere to a basic formula and as such, I tend to get bored of them after a while. First Horizon? Nice. Second Horizon? More of the same. Horizon DLC? Even more of the same. It gradually got a bit more boring with every new entry.

    So what I did was...I got an Xbox 360. Loaded it up with 5TB of games. And then I just picked something random to play. It made me discover Catherine, such a weird and awesome game.

    I think, getting out of your comfort zone can refresh your enjoyment of gaming.

    Let's see what else I can find on that thing...

  • Reminds me of the IBM Mechanical Wallpaper.

  • I still remember the old Thinkpads having waterholes so they wouldn't break when you spilled your coffee over them. We've devolved since then.

  • Toothaches are awful. I basically had ruins in my mouth for years and I always had one wound or another in it.

    Somehow I didn't really notice any pain, until it got really worse and I finally overcame my fear of dentists. When I finally got to the doc and all of these problems were treated my whole body just felt so...silent.

    The pain must've always been there, I just endured it and subconsciously blended it out.

  • Add to that, any streaming content that is not available in the original language. Here in Germany, a lot of older movies are only available to stream with the terrible German dub. I'm not paying for that so I'm not paying at all.

  • Instagram went from a friend feed to "Hey you saw a girl with big boobs this one time, here are 100 other girls with big boobs" very quickly.

    That and the insane amount of ads made me quit it.

  • Users of the chronological feeds engaged less with the platforms

    Because there is no endless content. You will eventually reach the end of your feed, close your browser and go to bed, sleeping well and staying healthy.

    But of course Meta prefers you doomscrolling through the entire night and feeling like shit afterwards. Just one more ad bro...

  • But that's mostly because Outlook is still holding us back. Come on, Microsoft, please let it die in peace already.

  • A lot of older people sit around and bitch about the younger generation but we are the ones that raised them.

    I believe that is a global problem, though. A lot of countries have massively aging populations. I feel like a youngster here in Germany, and I'm in my mid-30's. Lots of old bastards telling my generation we are lazy and need to get off our asses. Sometimes I wish we could just take all these people and put them somewhere else so I don't have to hear that shit anymore. :D

  • LISA: The Painful.

    It's gone up in price with the Definitive Edition, guess it's grown a lot in popularity.

    This is a postapocalyptic RPG done in RPG Maker with excellent storytelling and the weirdest weapons and attack patterns I ever experienced. You can attack enemies with your own stench or even frighten them by telling them ghost stories.

    I've felt more for the pixelated companions in this game than I've ever felt in a AAA game. It's so full of humour and despair, playing through this is such an emotional rollercoaster.

    I'm not ashamed to have cried ::: spoiler Spoiler when my alcoholic best friend got kidnapped ::: . ;_;

  • Exactly. It feels rewarding to receive karma but that dopamine rush is actually what Instagram, TikTok and all the other corporate-driven platforms out there are exploiting. We don't need that here.

  • We also had the new Mission Impossible movie which was a really good action flick.
