I’ve expressed a similar sentiment as “it’s easy to be enlightened up on a mountain.” As in, big whoop to all the wise hermits who fled society to find peace: that’s not being above the problems of the world (except literally), it’s hiding from them and pretending that ignorance can be bliss again. The real work is maintaining peace and wisdom in the face of monstrous injustice.

Ah, the open-mouth reverse blow! But will it be enough to save your palette and tongue from the burn?

It’s because they ruined Linux! Damn Linux users!

She lost that dump truck ass the feather duster form had, change her back!

I don’t know who really got that trend going. I’ve enjoyed up to hour-ish long videos on more or less anything, but a few years back the first truly excessively long video I remember is Whitelight’s 7 hour long overview/miniseries on Death Stranding. And to be fair, I did find that faster and more enjoyable than playing Death Stranding.

(Also I get why folks make them: more ads plus having that much watch time heavily biases the algorithm towards you so it’s more money overall. And the kind of person that watches 7 hour long reviews in the background (or while sleeping), aka me, certainly help weigh the scales for super long videos.)

But also, I kind of like when shorts are like a minute long or less so I can watch one when I’m like, on the shitter and not accidentally end up with a video essay. I mean 10 minutes used to be the limit of every youtube video! Will they introduce a new, even shorter format? Bring vines or blips back?

Alright, I split the differance, I think that should make everyone happy.

Can’t wait for 10 hour long reviews of Elden Ring, BUT VERTICALE AND LOOPS NOW!?!

Not enough Branston pickle, which to make up the ratio would require about half the jar I think. But then you’d have a perfect ploughmans lunch! (I’m not even a Brit, i just like a good peasant meal!)

Check out this great looping animation version that I definitely made myself!

I dunno, I think John K managed the worst of both worlds.

People in times of desperate oppression and violence rarely turn to the uncaring vastness of the chaotic universe for comfort.

Is it just me, or is it worrying how companies keep packing up and selling off the only parts of their businesses that actually, you know, make stuff, in favor of becoming full time bullshit peddlers?

My Lemmy is usually more like…

I guess you are, in some sense, “running Doom” as well as that AI that was supposedly running it, in that you are imperfectly emulating the experience of having previously seen Doom played.

Also my brain’s mod manager is total shit, long way to go catching up to DoomLauncher.

Super Castlevania 4 is the best of those early ones. Rondo is pretty good also but very hard. People find charms in the first 3 but they’re a bit rough.

If you prefer the Symphony lineage, the gameboy collections are very good. Not every game is brilliant but it’s amazing value.

Programmers after slacking off for two days to improve their factories in Shapez2 because they already automated all their tasks.

If changing requirements mean you need to update the script, then updating the script is part of your job. QED. I don’t see the problem with a little job security.

Hah! I just told someone the other day that LLMs trick people into seeing intelligence basically by cold reading! At last, sweet validation!
