  • “Looks just like RIF”

    I seriously don’t understand how that’s a positive. RIF always looked and felt like it was badly designed on purpose. Like some shitty thing from the early 2000s. But seeing the shit people do with theming on their phones and other stuff it’s weirdly not surprising, still doesn’t make sense. It’s actually vile looking.


  • It’s not smooth at all, IMO. Lots of visual annoyances which makes it feel stuttery and just bad. Been a Sync user for years and going from that to any other app is just a bad experience… I try all lemmy apps I come across and they either just look bad, no matter how much I change settings or they lack several major things that I just won’t be without. None has come close to feeling like a replacement yet, and it really sucks that it seems Sync is actually dead now.




  • In a beat boxing tone:

    Beans 'n rice (repeat as many times as needed).

    Also do pasta with tomato sauce a lot, add whatever I have or what I can find on sale (mostly lentils, beans, frozen vegetables (kinds that have protein)).

    I’ve always loved lentils but I’ve kinda rediscovered them lately, it’s crazy how good they are in every way. Cheap, somehow always makes more food than you think, easy to cook and extremely versatile, makes you feel full with less and keeps you going for longer. Truly a superfood IMO.


  • So many, it’s generally how it goes for me as I mostly play one game at a time. But some that have REALLY made me dive deep and play many hours a day for long times: Halo 1, 2, 3 and Reach, Elder Scrolls Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim, Minecraft, Terraria, Starbound, Satisfactory, Forza Horizon 4 and 5, Rocket League. There are many more, these are just what I thought of at the moment.
    And the one I still play a ton and see no end in sight is Warframe, such a good game, and both the community and the devs are awesome so even after getting 1,200 hours in two years I’m still giddy about it and have so much fun.


  • I wouldn’t describe myself as attractive, just not unattractive. And I’ve always gotten a lot of matches (with actual people). My social anxiety has been in the way of going further with it most of the time but it’s always been easy to find a date almost immediately when I want. One thing I know helps is my clothing style, 60s-70s, and I recommend people to try to find a style that they like and use photos that show it.


  • For me with gaming (both playing and dev), a Steam Deck. Never wanted anything more in my life, seeing people have them and barely use them hurts. But I’m on long-term sick leave and live paycheck to paycheck, not able to save anything and it doesn’t look like that’ll change anytime soon. And it’s more than just wanting a cool thing, all I have is a shitty laptop from 2010 that barely plays 1080p video, and a TV I found outside that gets so warm that it’s hard to sit in front of for longer than two hours at a time. The laptop has no battery so it has to be used with the charger connected all the time and it’s too heavy to comfortably use anywhere but at a desk. I also have back and knee problems and having something like a Steam Deck would allow me to play and develop in bed or on my sofa and save me some pain.




  • Nothing, and the whole “grammar nazis” thing is rotten. There is never a reason to have any other reaction to being corrected about objective things than learning from the mistake. If someone shows you the spelling or grammar mistakes you made, read it and memorise the corrections. You’re not losing anything by getting better at communication, you only gain. It doesn’t take you five minutes longer to spell the words correctly and you don’t make yourself look like an idiot, child with learning disabilities or someone who seriously doesn’t care about the most basic and expected shit we do for others. Language is an astounding tool and people who spot on it by not caring about spelling and grammar should be forced to take classes and taught to see how important it is.
