Yeah I’ve been finding this hard, too. Best method for me has been to browse the communities other people follow, and use Mastodon to search using hashtags - both methods have led me to new communities, but it’s not been easy.
People point to https://browse.feddit.de/ but I’ve not found it to be that useful.
I don’t have much sympathy for the father who took his 19yo son down with him. Fine to risk your own life, but what kind of minimal research did he do before putting his kid at risk? I’d be furious if my brother did that to his son.
I love that they’re frogs, and those little sai daggers look awesome
I struggle with open ended projects, so I try to choose things with a clear outcome e.g. give me some PC hardware to play with, I’ll tinker and get bored after a few hours, but if I plan to build a media centre (or whatever) that I’ll put into use, then I’ll commit weeks to researching and building a nice little box.
Same at work, I try to set myself achievable short term goals, so I get a regular sense of progression and value. To be fair, I don’t have big problems focusing, but I’m easily distracted when bored or directionless.
I really enjoyed it, it’s not a challenge, more an interactive story with amazing visuals
Haha, oh. I can’t remember if you’re literally in someone’s mind, but it’s a psychedelic guitar fantasy. It’s a very pretty game.
Last credits I saw was Mass Effect 1 (legendary edition on gamepass), last 100%ed was Psychonauts 2 - both last month(ish)
The Artful Escape?
Shame the instances list doesn’t include reason for blocking. Looking at the names most seem obvious (and I don’t feel like I’m missing out on those) but there must be some grey areas.
I’ve been trying to contribute here more than I did on Reddit, and honestly I’m amazed how smooth it’s been.
Lots of small UI frustrations, but I can already see the pull requests lining up, so I’m happy to wait.
Tacking “Reddit” onto search queries almost became a prerequisite. Never imagined I’d have to replace that with “-Reddit”.
It’s made researching a media centre setup very difficult this week…
That’s been my #1 struggle, to subscribe here I couldn’t find it in Jerboa search, I had to go through a series of convoluted steps to finally manage to post
Great recommendations there, each got under my skin. I feel the same about David Lynch films, they connect with something inside me, and lodge permanently in my brain.
I’d put What Remains of Edith Finch, Dear Esther, Talos Principle, Stanley Parable, Metroid Prime and maybe Portal 1+2 in there too - they share an authentically mysterious vibe.
Obra Dinn and Outer Wilds hit me hard, they nailed the atmosphere perfectly. Haven’t actually played DE, was a bit put off by the sheer amount of dialogue, but I need to try it.
I feel much the same. I have two kids, but I look back and wonder how I emerged from my cave long enough to meet someone.
Divorced now, so I’m back to my status quo, haha.
Same, It feels similar to when I quit Facebook. The difference with Reddit is the incredible resource of knowledge and the fact it’s usually top of any search results.
So, I’ve quit browsing cold turkey, but I won’t stop using it to get specific information (unless they force me to get their official app).
Yep! Guess I can just follow him on Medium…
How do you draw the line on those problems?
I find it hard to know when something is irrationally bothering me vs an actual problem.
Emoji seems clear cut, but interpersonal issues fall into a huge grey area. My tendency is to cut people out, which isn’t going so well.
That’s interesting, I think that’s why I started using them occasionally, especially at work. I can definitely come across as very serious, and remote work only made that worse. A little emoji goes a long way 🤣
Not utterly disappointed, but certainly underwhelmed by Wingspan to begin with. Oceania + removing ravens fixed a lot - mostly around difficulty playing birds, overpowered birds, boring endgame egg-laying.
Had a similar thing with Viticulture, it just felt unfinished. Tuscany fixed that too. Turns out I’m a sucker for expansions.
