You can’t expect the assholes who need to win to “just enjoy the game” when they aren’t playing multiplayer games for that reason.

As for point 2, every server-sode solution I’ve seen has just not worked lol. RuneScape comes to mind when I think of how much that seems to fail

Gran Turismo has similar stuff and is just better as a driving sim game.

Nah, I’d say this fits solidly in the category of “heaps of research indicating that single men suffer more in situations that promote isolation”. Adversarial language or not, the average Lemmy users is so far in their own social phobia that they don’t register that most humans, being social animals, thrive with MORE interaction and not less.

Itt: cognitive disonannce.

The study isn’t bs. Lemmy users just won’t accept that they don’t even come close to representing the average individual.

Like the other response said, some light exercise before bed is generally good for sleep. If you feel it’s waking you up, your brain might already be in go-mode. Do you limit blue light or anything before bed?

If you still feel before bed is no good, or don’t have the time or whatever, literally anything is better than nothing.

Alicization is fantastic and I recommend picking it up! SAO showed it can still tell a story

To piggyback on another comment. Massage. I’m a massage therapist who sees clients with disk issues all the time.

99% of the time it’s because of shortened hip flexors (your psoas attached to your bottom vertebrae and as it shortens, is too tight to let your spine stretch which then just crushes your disks) due to both extended time in a seated position as well as a weak core. Stretch, get a massage, find a PT to help with chronic back pain. Start doing crunches before bed.

Also drink more water. Only kinda related but basically everyone should be drinking more water.

But they’re a doctor. They get the title Dr from being a doctor and not a chiro. Chiros are allowed to call themselves doctors in many places for some damn reason.

Also we subscribe to them, so they’re subs just as easily as comms. I never use subreddit or /r/ because those don’t belong here, but you can easily replace /r/ with /c/.

To be more specific than mobile apps, sports betting apps are so insanely predatory

They’re probably parking spaces. It doesn’t look like a bad set up. Parking is behind your little studio apartment style trailer.

And it’s not even like Internet trends are a new thing. TikTok has simply offered a platform that’s extra predatory about it.

I can imagine that TikTok has been for Internet trends, to what slot machines did for gambling.

Also worth noting that getting a live service game with enough infrastructure going to immediately make them millions is a significant startup cost on its own. picking the best project of them and then putting it in its own studio seems like a very smart way to do it.

Nobody gonna at least honorable mention Walmart? It’s been a bane on local small business from the start, but it’s also been funnelling wealth out of communities.

When employees have to both live off assistance AND can only afford to ship at Walmart with their employee discount, more wealth goes to Walmart than they ever pay the employee and the community just gets poorer all the meanwhile.

Do you know how many non-americans casually use the n word be cause they don’t understand the repercussions? It’s all the fuckin time, especially among white Europeans.

Because Trump’s whole claim falls apart if Biden deported more people than him. The “keep in mind” part is just because we have to remember that it also wasn’t for lack of trying and they might try to use that as a defense

The problem is this is how they build that cult of personality. “See! Trump is so great even the shadow council behind Biden couldn’t keep him from winning.” Fascism 101: Your enemy is simultaneously infinitely powerful and horrendously weak, sometimes in the same sentence.
