What do I win once I tick them all off?

1·1 year agoIt’s showing me two AMD GPUs currently but one of them is listed as a new product so it might not have been there when you last checked.

Something about the Blitzball players all being characters you could find in the world, some of whom would otherwise be unremarkable NPCs really burrowed into my brain with FFX. Something about the fact that you’d have relationships with characters in two different contexts where they would often play a wildly different role in each really made the world feel a little bit more alive than normal.
I like it but found the fear of using items you might later need too be exacerbated to an uncomfortable degree by the magic system. I suspect I’d enjoy it more today than when it came out.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some popular criticisms you see about any show/movie/videogame that you strongly disagree or you just don’t think it’s really a bad thing?English
1·1 year agoBoth She-Hulk and Ms Marvel had flaws as TV shows. On account of being TV shows. The over focus on those flaws was driven by people who wanted to hate them for not being about white American men.

3·1 year agoIt’s because they go hand in hand. I’ve had experience with customer service roles where staff are empowered to solve issues and it requires very very very slightly higher investment in your employees to pull off.

2·2 years agoI imagine either the “Oh God-mass God!” Version of the song either is the first version she learned whilst very young or she was taught this “fact” by someone who she trusts unquestioningly. It’s very hard to convince people to reasses beliefs they’ve taken on in that way. Maybe you could give up that dream and work on gently leading her to a compromise of doing a verse of each?

5·2 years agoThis sort of confusion is why I think we need to always define economic and social political positions separately rather than lump them together.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Just before death you are granted one truthful, understandable answer to one question. What would you want to know?English
9·2 years agoThis kinda just feels like “what single question would you ask ChatGPT if it was omniscient” so my mind is just getting lost in the arcane and complex structuring and restructuring of the question to get the answer you want rather than one that literally answers the exact question you asked.
Assuming though that you actually do just get the answer to the intent and spirit of your question the only rational one I can think of would have to be some variation of:
“What answer could you give me that would offer me the most peace, contentment and sense of resolution to my life?”
Otherwise I’d spend an eternity (or however long I’d have to consider my question) pondering how to ask that question without getting an accurate and correct response like:
“A really good one.”

4·2 years agoAlso like… Cheese is where you take all the valuable stuff out of milk and through away the water that constitutes most of it’s mass. Of course it’s a poor water to weight ratio because most of the weight of milk is water. But in terms of water usage to available dietary nutrition I can’t see it being very different to milk.

13·2 years agoWhile it’s not perfect I think emissions per calorie is a better measurement than emissions per kg (even more importantly for making comparisons of water usage.)
All you’re arguing is that the web is decentralised, not that any given website within it is.

Memes@lemmy.ml•birth control pills ended the baby boomer generationEnglish
12·2 years agoPerhaps part of the reason they seem… different… to younger generations is related to the fact that there would have been a higher percentage of unwanted pregnancies for their cohort than the ones that followed.


I really think if the only thing that changed was Kamala’s race and gender we’d have woken up to different news today.
