What the hell did I just read?
Personal: right now I have 6 open. I might get up to 15-20 if I’m going down a rabbithole of some sort.
On a side note, Windows 11 finally put in an option to go back to normal Windows taskbar buttons so I can actually read tab titles from the taskbar:
Work (software engineer): sometimes dozens if I’m deep in the weeds with loads of reference pages open/etc.
Elden Ring. I tried it again after bouncing off in 2022. So glad I did. Absolutely massive, dense world to explore and beautiful art direction
For Dyson Sphere Program, you have to dig for this one below all the gross Fandom links:
Very interesting; thank you
Good idea
Annoying on many levels
I feel you. The Network Effect is real, and the niche subreddits need a HUGE overall userbase to work at all.
The total population of Lemmy + Kbin is about the size of a medium size city subreddit.
I’m staying here for now. I sometimes cheat and browse reddit not-logged-in. I don’t know what the answer is.
It was my first thought too
“ESA survey showed” – not exactly an unbiased report
I have memories of buddies in college being SUPER into it. I was never very good. But it still stands out to this day as a game with a unique feeling of speed and motion and control.
Any of the building/management games like Factorio or Dyson Sphere Program or RimWorld. You can definitely make those games extremely challenging (speed runs, achievements, ultra hard modes/challenges). But for me they’re cozy games where I can chip away at a small project or part of a larger project, like, I don’t know, slowly building a scale model or something.
Agreed. It’s one of the more creepy aspects of social media that mostly leads to “gotchas” (“oh your account is only 2 months old? your opinion is invalid!”) and stalker-ish behavior – and one I wish fediverse had learned from instead of copied.
Cool. I remember a buddy showing it to me in his college dorm room. I was more interested in Unreal Tournament (which released a year later) at the time and probably couldn’t afford to buy another game anyway. But I was positively obsessed with Half Life 2 a few years later…
I’ve debated this a lot with myself and have settled on Randy. Cassandra feels too “gamey” with its predictability and thus immersion breaking.
But this is a highly individual choice so best to experiment.
Neat
