You read my mind... I just spent an hour learning the basics and finally took off for the first time. Landed on a planet, got off the shuttle, walked on a wall and died a few steps in without even knowing why. The lack of quick save option is also a little frustrating. But I'll keep at it for a while. Hopefully it pays off!

I'm a huge fan of sci-fi and I do love myself some sci-fi horror, like those in Love, Death & Robots and the German series Dark, but even Dark is nowhere as dark as Black Mirror is. The difference being Black Mirror is entirely focused on showing you the darkest side of human nature. There are no redemptions in most of the stories. No typical hero journey, no light vs dark narrative; just shit going from bad to worse to nightmare fuel.

If there's one thing you can take away from the entire series, it wouldn't be "Technology is bad", but "Humans are fucked up".

What are the chances... I'm waiting for the game to load for the first time when I saw this comment. Perfect timing. Alright, diving in right now!

...there's an "AITA" bot

That's ridiculous. Wonder if there's a r/roastme bot somewhere.

I've watched White Christmas too after hearing so much about it, and that, my friend, was the final nail to the coffin for me. Anymore Black Mirror and I'm going to cry.

This episode made me stop watching Black Mirror for good. It was way too disturbing and I'm someone who doesn't even flinch while watching horror.

Guild Wars 2? You can play it at your own pace, chill and explore the world together, take part in events and PvP, explore the dungeons or turn it into a fashion show haha. The level scaling is great too so you can always do everything together regardless of the gap between your levels.

Downvoted. The fact that this is reported on Russia Today stinks of a low effort smear campaign.

Reddit still holds a ton of valuable info in niche topics which will take Lemmy years to build, and that's only if the niche communities here ever see the light of day. I've deleted most of the useless content I have there, but the more helpful ones I'll leave for the sake of others like me who still visit occasionally for answers you can't get anywhere else.

Well, the crackdown has definitely scared the market and wiped out more than $1 trillion worth of stock value. It's a fascinating case study of the fusion between communism and capitalism, as well as the convergence of centralized control and economic liberalism.

I don't know if that's really a good thing, but they have done quite a few decent things like cracking down on the rich for tax evasion (and using the billions "donated" by big corps to provide aid to the lower SES population), and the famous for grooming and sexual assaults. I'm no fan of an authoritarian regime, but there aren't many places in this world where the rich and famous suffer the consequences of fucking around.

Let's face it. How many of us have actually contributed enough to any FOSS projects to demand for free and premium services. I personally would rather donate to a FOSS app instead of paying Sync, but it's unfair to judge Sync for having ads and trackers when the option of removing them is there. There's nothing wrong with any dev wanting to make a decent living or even more than that, as long as they don't go overboard and are honest about it.
