i just memorized the entire web so i dont need to browse anymore. browsers are bloat
but i have an extremely rare disease that forces me to eat dead animals, animals do it too, plants feel pain, a vegan was rude to me 10 years ago, and its not like me paying for farmers to kill animals and thus creating a demand for meat means i have a hand in it!!!!!!!!
the only thing i love more than that guy is that nobody in the comments can agree on what his name is
how incredibly american to phrase learning they can get away with fleecing people for $40 more as being "inspired".
Proem - Until Here For Years (2019)
i've had rectangle snake in my car playlist for a few months and only recently did i do a full listen of this album, very nice
hey rich people probably still say that
barony!
my friends and i were just getting into the game and we didn't know how long a good run could go.
for the uninitiated, barony is a coop roguelite that is very difficult especially in the early game, so all our runs had died relatively quickly. we had no clue that a winning run could take over 3 hours... so we celebrated our victory in the morning sunlight.
but it is a double edged sword, lol. now that i have proved to myself that those cables really will come in handy one day, i am forever stuck with a slowly growing stash of cables!
last week i needed the dvi to hdmi converter cable i've been saving in my cable hoard for like 8 years and i have never felt so validated
yeah he would have unhinged his jaw like a snake and eaten it immediately
all ex-league players who i've spoken with (myself included) refer to league of legends and breaking free from it as if they were raised in a cult or dealing with life-ruining substance abuse that still affects them to this day
not the commenter you asked but i use a binary search when i'm playing a modded game that is having issues to pinpoint which mod(s) cause the issue. beats launching the game over and over to test each mod by a long shot.
a recent example: i put together a mod list for risk of rain 2 to play with some friends, but the game crashed on launch when all the mods were installed. so i disabled half the mods (in order, alphabetically or other) and tried to launch the game again - still crashing. disabled half the remaining enabled mods, test, repeated as necessary. with only a few cycles of booting the game, i was able to determine the specific mod causing a crash on startup out of my list of 50 something mods.

“Arnold Palmer was all man, and I say that in all due respect to women, I love women,” Trump said. “This man was strong and tough, and I refused to say it, but when he took showers with the other pros they came out of there, they said, ‘Oh, my God. That’s unbelievable.’”

as an asexual person i find other people's opinions on this interesting. the sex scenes do nothing for me and i'm usually just waiting for them to end but i understand my circumstances are not common. i can only assume that someone who is into sex gets something out of sex scenes, otherwise they wouldn't exist.
what i don't understand is the demonizing of sex scenes in movies. like does everyone only watch movies with their parents/kids? i don't like sex scenes due to my asexuality and i'm glad that there are few of them because this cultural shift benefits me specifically (who has never been in the target demographic) in a roundabout way. but i wouldn't say they are all gross/unnecessary/graphic/etc as a blanket statement like i see people in this thread and other places online say. art doesn't need to be for everyone.
i love this show, and it might be my favorite anime i've ever caught airing live. i can just tell that this is going to be incredible throughout. it has great production all around, the characters are really engaging, and the subject matter / setting is incredibly interesting. i just saw the third episode and i'm extremely excited for the next! this show should be at the top of everyone's list this season.
typically when i like something this much i'll just start on the manga, but the craftsmanship on display in the anime is making me want to stick through it despite the wait.
omg bestie

my first amigurumi with color switching! there are a lot of small mistakes on this one, but i think the overall quality is an improvement over my previous amigurumi.
maybe its because the shape is more complex than i've tried before, but it baffles me that i made this with my hands from nothing but yarn, stuffing, and safety eyes.

my first amigurumi - hubble the squid
ok the title is a little bit of a lie, i made a tiny jellyfish before this but the that was like 10 tiny rows so it doesn't count.
i love this guy! i learned a lot about how to improve my technique while making him, and i'm just really stoked with how he ended up. his eyes are a little wonky and the tension in the tentacles is all over the place, but i can write that off as personality lol. i was also pleasantly surprised with how the variegated yarn looks in a finished piece.
this pattern is free on ravelry: hubble the squid
awesome! i really like the pattern and color choices
angelic 2 the core is one of the only albums i've ever listened to that is so bad i enjoyed listening through the whole thing. i feel like most people understand that feeling with movies, but this one album is the only time i've felt it with music.
ramblings on oscillating between loneliness and being happy alone
howdy gang, i keep seeing this community in the trending communities thing and it being empty was annoying me, so here's my super cool and awesome post. first btw.
i remember reading (and identifying with) relatively often on reddit how lots of ace people tended to flip-flop between feeling extremely aroace and feeling like they desperately want a partner of some kind, and i want to talk about it.
generally, i am fine most of the time - feeling like i'm living the way i want to live (with no partner) and that i'm not lacking anything in that regard. most of the time i feel like being on my own suits me and perfectly aligns with everything about my general being. very infrequently i get an intense desire to find a partner and share my life with someone in some capacity, but those are momentary and maybe last a day at the longest. i know i don't actually want that for the long run and i'm perfectly happy on my own, but man sometimes those feelings are intense and confusing. kinda like
what could cause one of my monitors to be stuck at 640x480 only on the first boot after a system update?
when i boot my computer after having run an update, my primary monitor (which should be at 1920x1080) is stuck at 640x480. interestingly, when i reboot and change nothing, it fixes itself until i run another update.
i'm on arch, using nvidia 555.58-2, on plasma 6.1.1-1. the monitor in question is DP-0 in the system info below.
what could be causing this and how can i fix it?
i've been having this issue for a while while kinda just dealing with it because it was something i could easily work around by booting my computer twice, but i'd really like to get it solved.

my first project - desk chair arm covers
i just learned how to crochet and made these lil guys because the plastic/vinyl/whatever stuff on them was cracking and falling off. they're held taut by a drawstring which i just noticed is perfectly hidden by the angle of this picture, but i just used some extra yarn and tied it like shoelaces.
really simple and easy as a first project! i'm not sure if it is visible in the picture but i made the blue one second and i think it came out much better.
i got the idea from this video and used it as a general reference.
a couple audio questions - how to set audio levels automatically or via cli?
hi all,
i've been getting some comments that my mic is quiet so before i go looking for a new one, i thought i'd check to see if this could be solved with software. i don't have an amp or anything for my mic and to my knowledge it shouldn't need one, but it is pretty old now and i forgot what actual product it is.
i'm on arch using kde with pipewire. i am already using kde's (or maybe something else does this idk) feature to raise maximum volume to 150% in the audio volume window, but this will turn itself off at unpredictable intervals and is also seemingly not always enough.
so i ask - is it possible to set some setting or use some linux audio magic to raise my mic output volume? and in the same vein of changing/setting audio levels, is it possible to configure the volume level on my system to not go above a certain level - as in all audio above x level is clamped back down to x?
full transparency edit - not 10 minutes after hitting the post button i found the volume knob on my
linux-compatible speedrunning tools and/or livesplit tricks
hi, is there anyone else here who is disappointed with the speedrunning tools available for linux users?
i've tried livesplit through wine but i can't get global hotkeys or autosplitters working, and speedrunning in general doesn't allow for the leeway required to tab out, split, and tab back in. i did give this a shot but it seems like livesplit server is deprecated and the project never got any more work done. also tried livesplit one, but again i couldn't figure out global hotkeys or auto splitting.
i used to use a tool called flitter but i would really prefer something more configurable like livesplit.
ok actually midway through writing this and looking for links to the things i've used in the past, i found this tool that does support global hotkeys. autosplitter would be nice, but it's better than the rest.
i'll still post this though - i'm curious if th
Anthony Naples - Chameleon (2021)
can't stop listening to this lately - this album has such a wonderful chilled out atmosphere to it that i keep coming back to.
Lusine - Long Light
found this artist a few days ago, really enjoying this album in particular
Album(s) of the year?
to the ~7 or less people who are on this community, you listen to anything that blew you away this year? most of my listening this year has been discovering older music - got into idm in the middle of the year and been basically going through the greats.
here's a list of the little i did listen to (and remember) that came out this year in no particular order:
- Caroline Polachek - Desire, I Want To Turn Into You
- DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ - Destiny
- Colin Stetson - When we were what wept for the sea
- Yves Tumor - Praise A Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds)
i always look forward to december because then i can pick through other people's best of the year lists for stu
Kai Whiston - No World As Good As Mine
just found this community - and i first listened to this album earlier this year because until then i thought it was a rap record lol.
Salamanda - In Parallel
spotify just shuffled me into this artist and when i saw that they released something today i had to listen. really nice atmosphere, and with a lot going on that you can listen closely for.
what are everyone's thoughts on pikmin 4?
decided someone needed to start sprouting some pikmin in here. i'm almost finished with it (i think) and as a long time fan of the series, this one has really got me hooked. i was so worried from the trailers that the new stuff like oatchi and the dandori battles wouldn't flow right or that the new aiming/lockon system would mess the game up, but it all works amazingly. there is so much less fiddling around with your pikmin and making sure everyone is in the right places and more just doing stuff. it rocks.
::: spoiler pikmin 4 area spoilers i just got to the 6th area and i am blown away by just how much is in this game! my jaw dropped when i saw there was a 5th full area, and i actually said "no way" out loud when they revealed the 6th area. AND this area addressed my issue of not all the pikmin types being useful! it just feels like this game is ready to burst with content between the numerous areas, caves, replayable dandori things, night missions, and the olimar mission which

Baby Steps Reveal Trailer - thoughts?
anyone else excited about this? i love these types of getting over it -likes and i'm super excited to give it a try. Moving that style of game into a 3d space introduces all sorts of challenges and gameplay options and im sure people are gonna have insane strats for stuff.
i could imagine a speedrunning community going crazy with this game instantly upon seeing it
first vegan lemmy post
hi lemmy, seeing as there isn't an established vegan community on here (that i could find), i thought someone ought to bite the bullet and make the first post.
what do we want out of this space? to be like the vegan subreddit, a place for vegans and a place to spread veganism to non-vegans? or something more staunchly anti-carnist?
whatever the case, happy to be annoying and b12 deficient in a new space not controlled by a corporation
