I take my dog for a walk in my neighborhood and walk by no less than 10 different camera setups, and those are the ones I actually notice. Paranoia has led us down the road to a post-privacy society.

We had corned beef and cabbage last night, and tonight we’re having lemon pepper chicken drums with grilled corn and veggies.

It’s been a problem for awhile. The media needs clicks so saying something is 7.5/10 doesn’t really drive engagement. Gamers have especially fed into this narrative because the media surrounding new products is always filled with hype and billed as the next greatest thing. It’s caused justified pushback from the community, but I think the pendulum has swung a bit in the other direction now. It’s tough feeling lukewarm about something when you’ve been told it’s supposed to be great. Additionally, the publishers, and some developers, in this industry are greedy cutthroats, which has made them easy targets for people’s frustration. The problem is now that frustration is focused on EVERYTHING involving the games industry.

I disagree with part 2 “jumping the shark”. The first game starts out with

which was much more “twist the narrative just for shock value”. The game itself is an enjoyable playthrough, it’s just a depressing story. Joel deserved what he got.

I love these games but I jokingly called part 2 a depression simulator. It’s intensely emotional at points and lingered in my thoughts after finishing it. It’s an incredible piece of storytelling and art.

I’ve noticed that anyone who has gotten one newly installed can’t stop looking at it for every small thing. It’s like built-in paranoia. Not to mention that every time I take a walk in my neighborhood I’m now on bunch of different people’s cameras without even knowing it.

There’s quite a few jobs that aren’t union eligible, and trust me when I say I understand how they operate. The first trump admin made it easier to fire federal workers, and believe it or not, there are federal workers that do get fired for doing a bad job. I’m “making an educated guess” that some of those people facing disciplinary actions took the option to resign because I’m telling you what I’m personally seeing.

Im making an educated guess that there’s a decent amount of those 40k employees that were actually facing disciplinary actions or termination and are using it as a way to possibly avoid it.

There was a perk for one-hit knockouts and it would crack me up just running around and bonking people with a mace.

When I first joined Lemmy, it was not easy to find my way around. I left Reddit because they screwed over 3rd party apps, so finding Voyager early on was a blessing. I just want people to be aware that there is an easier way to navigate Lemmy, and they update regularly.

Voyager should be on there.

Dead Space. The remake looks great and the sound design is bonkers. I love the utilitarian design of the tech as well. Headphones are recommended.

This has been going on for quite some time, and will just continue in the background. I always had suspicions about all the positive comments on advertisements. This just confirms that they’re faking engagement numbers.
