I think the best of youtube has been pretty consistent, it’s just that there’s exponentially more crap (and the algorithm wants you watching crap).
For games, I do agree that most AAA games are not very good, but we are in a golden age of indie gaming. There are so many amazing games being released constantly it’s overwhelming.
These are all smaller games that I’ve enjoyed playing on my steam deck, none of them are online multiplayer focused though:
Inscryption
Celeste
Crypt of the Necrodancer
Spelunky
Bad North
Carrion
Death’s Door
Anything emulated
I choose 1 and either learn echolocation, or get a fancy implant that does it for me.
Although if 1 is instantaneous and you have perfect control of the power, you could probably avoid others seeing you by flickering really fast. I bet there’s an optimal pulse width and frequency where you would be effectively invisible to people while still being able to see enough. A high speed camera would still catch you though.
Whoa, I’d really like to try that.
I don’t think it’s the price of the rope that’s the issue, haha
I have some proper rope, but nobody to use it on and self tying just makes me sad :(
Maybe not that unknown, but:
Vimium - lets you control the browser by keyboard. It uses vim keys for navigation, but I think it’s useful for non vim users too because it also has a mode that adds text ‘hints’ for all the links on the page so you can click them by typing (I’m not describing it well so just check it out)
This sucks. Why are you making fun of a random child who is obviously nervous and uncomfortable?
Personally, panpsychism makes sense to me. Our brains are what make us thinking individuals with memories etc, but the whole universe is conscious. So after we die, we return to pure awareness (without thought or memory)
Well it will be fine even if you only leave it charging a tiny fraction of the times you use it. And with AAs you have to remember to change them anyway or it will die while you’re playing.
And if you think the process of:
opening the back cover, taking out the AAs (especially on the original steam controller), putting them in a charger, and putting new ones back in the controller
is even close to as easy as just setting the controller down on a magnetic charger, I don’t know what to tell you.
They’re The controller is always charged because I put them it on the charger when I rotate them. am not using it.
So the controller never dies unless you’re playing for more than a day straight, and there’s no fiddly swapping out of batteries. The only downside is that you might need to replace the battery in like 5 years time with heavy use, and it’s only marginally more difficult than swapping out AAs.
Well the rechargeable AAs will wear out just like an internal battery, but there’s more of them and they’re individually packaged. It’s a bit more waste and a bit more money, even if it’s not a big difference.
Personally I think the big difference is in usability - I’d rather just leave the controller on a charger when not in use and never have to worry about swapping cells in and out. (I think battery degradation is overblown - it should last way more than 2 years, especially if you aren’t gaming for 20 hours straight)
You’re so close to getting it…
It’s just diodes emitting photons of different energies. Color is something your brain makes of it.
Basic scrolling feels so much better. And I don’t think it really makes a huge difference for battery life, so I always leave if at 120.
What is that ‘open secret’?
Exactly. The aesthetic itself isn’t the problem (although not at all what I would want my vehicle to look like), it’s just really badly executed. Some features like the headlight bar looks cool from certain angles, but all the proportions just feel wrong, the silhouette is awful and it just looks so enormous and stupid in person.
I think many of these questions are too vague to be answered productively, but I’ll try. I’ll just answer for myself, as I think there will be plenty of people who agree with me, and it seems kinda irrelevant what the average person thinks as long as enough people are into it. Also, your brief set of questions isn’t very brief, and I think you’d get more answers if it was more focused and pared down.
Very willing if it looks well thought out, has some assurance that it will stay around, and provides a good quality of life. Otherwise, no.
Is this just a random person? That’s a reeallly hard sell. A friend, or better a partner? Yes, assuming it’s nicely furnished, and is in a nice surrounding area, and has supporting infrastructure.
8-24 hours is such a big range that I couldn’t possibly answer, but I’m guessing it adds up to 40 hours. but I’m not sure how leisure factors in here, is this . I think a flexible 40 hour work schedule that factors in learning and unstructured productivity would be very appealing.
Definitely, and think it does change my answer for question 2, but only if there is a strong assurance that this community will exist indefinitely, or in the event that the community dissolves, that the house would then go to me.
Without hearing details I can’t really give an answer, but maybe? Also would I not be allowed to generate income from external sources? That sounds a bit controlling, but I’m not categorically opposed to it. I also think it would be good to capitalize on individual skills when possible, not just a few set businesses.
Again, 8-24 hours is a huge range, but generally yes, although I would want vacations, and exceptions for disability, sickness and old age.
No change, I don’t really need a big house, anyway the yurt would be the limiting factor. I think that making common spaces might be a better use of resources.
Direct democracy is pretty much a requirement for this sort of thing, but it would also need a ‘constitution’ that is guarantees the basic premise is maintained and nobody gets screwed over.
I think this is going to be the hardest part to get right. , but I think there would need to be some criteria for this, otherwise it would be abused.
I think this could be a real positive if done well. If there are multiple sites, I would also consider making short term stays possible. I don’t think this really changes any of my answers though.
Anyway from what you’ve hinted at, this seems like a pretty compelling idea for a commune. I would look into existing communes like Twin Oaks as examples of what works. I do think the Solarpunk/automation angle could make this really unique, though, and it could result in a really high quality of life.
I know this is probably for a school project or something, but if it’s actually something you’re thinking about for real, I have a lot of ideas, and I would be very interested in discussing it more (and maybe joining!).
Are recommendations based on the “watch history” list, or just your actual watch history? I doubt they are just disregrding data they have on you just because you remove it from the ui.
