I feel the same way. I wonder if it’s a trauma response - overcompensating so as to not disappoint the person infront of me.

Hey, that’s a neat twist.

I often find that It’s much easier to finish something I’ve started than start something I haven’t.

Yeah, exactly!

It works for me only when I don’t have a close deadline. The stress of a close deadline is just very hard to deal with. I can’t think straight enough to “just do it for two minutes”. My brain won’t allow me to work only for two minutes at that stage, it’s either do it or don’t.

Yeah, there’s certainly a degree to how SciFi something is.

But you could remove their scifi elements and tell star wars and Dune as fantasy stories and you wouldn’t loose too much substance. I’d call them science fantasy at best.

But star trek, though it has magic, relies heavily on the SciFi concepts to tell a story. I’d consider it SciFi through and through.

High five. I got mine for saying “fuck all nazis and colonial apologia”.

I mean those things are valid. But I see this decision as one of those “the one that got away”. There’s a billion people there, someone was in the right place at the right time.

The moustache was the one keeping him alive .

“I am changing the terms of our unspoken agreement”

I am sure there’s many who feel the same when hubbies shave 🪒.

You just deal with the lack of them.

Sigh

Oh wait, I misread your post. I was advocating for violence against nazis.

No, reddit actively promotes hateful content if anything. As long as it is advertiser friendly. They couldn’t give a fuck about banning them.

Valve doesn’t really publish much does it? Other than a few obvious moneymakers.

I’ve always thought of scifi being very adjacent to fantasy.

Dune, star wars are basically fantasy stories packaged with scifi elements.

I’ve always wondered what makes a SciFi story SciFi and I’ve come to the conclusion that for it to be SciFi it must be an exploration of how technology effects the human condition.

What do you think?

Restructuring might have been the better move imo.

Not laying them off, but reorganizing the teams into multiple smaller studios and telling them to use the Id engine to work on new stuff. More chances of failures, but less risk and more new IPs.

Seriously, even though I feel bad for the devs. The injustice to Mic was bad. Out of touch executives, man.

But he’s doing good. His new game defect looks fucking awesome.

How did you replace the crack that’s niche communities?

With an exception for Nazis. Fuck fascists.

One of us! One of us!

Can you make posts/comments criticizing china, russia and the various horrific shit perpetrated by dictators of said country?

My one issue with tankies is that. Otherwise I openly welcome leftist ideas.

Yeah, but the russia and china authoritarian love and glazing sucks.

Niche active communities for sure.

I am also banned from reddit and can’t contribute. You’d imagine that would pull me more towards lemmy, but just getting the novelty of so many new posts makes it enticing even if I am not interacting.

Instagram and tiktok benefit less from its algo imo than they do from its numerous creators. The novelty drives people. It’s complicated I am sure but actively this is what I think about when I reach for these platforms.

I definitely think the trick is having innumerable amount of content.
