Don’t fight it. Just find another hobby that deserves your time and move on with your life. Games haven’t been truly good for a long time. Unless you’re a Twitch streamer or an esports athlete, games shouldn’t be drudgery. “But it gets better after 10 hours,” “you have to get to the endgame before you’re really playing the game,” “you can’t say you’ve played the game unless you did 3+ runs,” “AAA games suck but indies are still good” Man, shut the fuck up, I’m too old for that shit.
If you want to capture the excitement of how you felt when you first played videogames as a child, find a different hobby. Seriously, find a hobby that’s completely out of left field. Gardening, fixing mechanical watches, backyard astronomy, raising an ant farm, croqueting, kayaking, trainspotting. You don’t have to be that aging nerd who constantly malds at how modern videogames suck while continuing to fall for nostalgia bait that’ll always fall below your expectations.
Couldn’t agree more. And even thought I hardly play games anymore, that actually makes them all the more special when I’m excited about a game and play it. It’s rare nowadays, but games like celeste or a short hike were really wonderful. Other than gems that really speak to you though, you really should find another hobby.
Or just engage in moderation like every other medium, it’s weird to me that playing videogames is automatically supposed to be a “hobby” but the same doesn’t apply to watching movies or reading books or whatever.
But the file names were not as ordered and consistent like this, they were all over the place. Most of them did not even have proper meta data so I had lots of songs by “unknown artist”. Creating playlists within a music player was a mess, you basically had to sort and play songs via the file system
I used to spend hours editing metadata for my music library on my computer but it was a constant uphill battle. My “various artists” and “unknown album” are still a mess.
Ok real talk here for a minute. If, by any chance, some dufus has put a lightbulb in their month and need help removing it, grab a sturdy cloth towel, pass it into their mouth through the corners and gently wrap the glass part of the lightbulb in the cloth. When you’re done, all corners of the cloth should be hanging outside persons mouth. Their teeth should not touch the glass directly - only through the cloth. This way when the glass breaks, all the pieces will be contained I the cloth for an easy and, if you are careful, harmless removal.
The safest way to crack the bulb once you’ve wrapped it in cloth is to GENTLY tap the bottom jaw - imagine a 4 year-old landing an uppercut. The glass is very thin and cracks easily, - no need for much force.
Of course, better not get into such a situation in the first place. Stay safe, folks!
Commenting UI is currently getting an overhaul to match the create a post UI (assuming you are on Thunder nightlys). I think posting images will get added then. If not we can definitely take a look at adding it :)
I really like Thunder’s interface and the font is so pleasing to my eyes, but just based on my anecdotal testing, it’s been the most unstable among Memmy, Mlem, and Voyager. It also has the least features compared to the others, but I’m hoping for more progress in the future as it’s honestly the best UI experience for me.
So… How do you take it out though? Someone else’s help? Why wouldn’t they break it while trying to take it out too? Or is breaking it the only option, as a lesson for your stupidity? Is this a painful/traumatic enough torture method? So many questions 🤔
What if you meditate or go to sleep or otherwise relax it enough to take it out? That should work if the only thing keeping it in is the involuntary stress/fear response of muscle tension.
