Anki for flashcards and a lovely local teacher that I go to once a week (not a university classroom). The real truth is it takes between 1000-4000 hours depending on your language, and the only way to get that is by doing a little bit every day. I'm probably somewhere around 700 hours after three years.
I'm glad this was over what sort of games Steam sells and pushing back against payment processors, but the flipside to this is how Steam has far too lax moderation of its community forums as well (which is explicitly part of Gaben's position here). Billionaires aren't your friends, Gabe is politically a weird libertarian that people just happen to like, and Steam's community is one of its most toxic features.
I've loved following VR the last few years, watching developers figure out in real-time what makes a good game in a headset, but it really does feel like it's really on the way out. Moss is one of the big successes of the VR years and it's now being excised from the medium. People are going to look back on VR in a few years time as a really weird niche of the games industry, like gaming's very own Galápagos of ideas that never took over the mainstream the way people thought they might in 2016.
I use Facebook only for Marketplace, because it has completely replaced Craigslist in my area. I sell custom-built Game Boys.
I check Reddit for news and hyper-specific hobbies that don't really have a place on Lemmy, but I don't have an account.
I use YouTube often, but lately I've completely blocked shorts and I've started downloading all the videos I'm watching to my hard drive so I can stream them through Jellyfin instead.
No you're absolutely correct. I've found it harder to have faith in other people as much as I did when I was a little younger, because of the state of the world and the lack of movement on the part of people around me. I think part of the struggle I'm having is that computers aren't a hobby one engages with in a vacuum. If someone was really into knitting and all of the sudden half the knitting community got into fascism for some reason, that person could reasonably go on knitting in the comfort of their own home without feeling like it is in any way contributing to or condoning those fascist knitters. But with computers, half the hobby is the joy of networking! Of these shared spaces created by tying computers together in new and interesting ways. Which unfortunately have now created a wicked gestalt surveillance apparatus. Hell is other people and their computers?
It works really well for me actually. Every time that mobile app begpost comes up it's a great reminder that I shouldn't even be looking at Reddit at all. Cut down my doomscrolling on my phone immediately.
Oh freaky I've got the exact same mouse and keyboard combo.
Absolutely terrible article.
I'm polyamorous. Working out calendars 2-3 weeks in advance gets very tiring.

I love this band, local legends. Would love to get Elevator on vinyl as well.
We don't like it either
I too fell victim to the hype. Turns out they're actually very good. Thank you Quebec.
The Switch 1 is the last great collectors console, at least the majority of games there are actually on the cart.
Music. I've got an extensive collection of vinyl records, and a smaller collection of CDs, tapes, and MiniDiscs.
Street Uni X is a really good action sports game of the Tony Hawk variety, but this time on a unicycle.

Complete clown behaviour from a man who thought saying he had 11 AI agents doing his work would make him sound cool.
