wolfshadowheart , to asklemmy in How would you feel if Beehaw left the Fediverse?

Reading through the lemmy.world responses is just disheartening.

wolfshadowheart , to steam in The day before finally come to an end.

The best take I’ve read so far is, paraphrased,

“It was an asset flip that got too popular for its own good. Instead of being able to slowly trickle sales over the course of a few months, it got mass purchased and effectively forced their hand.”

The idea being that if it hadn’t gotten so popular, it would have just been an asset flip to trickle in sales with no long term support or updates. Instead it got so big that and with no real team (dunno about this) there was no way for them to abandon it without this scenario. So better to close for optics than close for a step away from fraud lol.

If that was the intent, then yeah it was a scam regardless. And if it wasn’t the intent, then I don’t understand their reasoning. I would guess that if it got really popular and sales were coming in, that would incentivize them to continue it rather than closing shop?

Gonna sideload a browser while I mainload my game

wolfshadowheart , to asklemmy in What's the oldest piece of tech you still have running?

Very much so :) though I do have a lot of gear! I would attribute that to playing for… gosh… Nearly 3 decades now!

wolfshadowheart , to asklemmy in What's the oldest piece of tech you still have running?

Ah I guess some made it sound a little cooler than it is, my apologies for the hope!! It’s just a Casio HT700 that I got at a thrift, it’s not bad but it’s not anything super special.

I had bad syntax, I have some aged synthesizers, one from the 80’s… That’s the only one lol, I think my others are mostly from the 2000’s, like the gakken sx-150 and the midiman oxygen 8, an Ibanez Bass Synthesizer pedal (SB7). Oh, speaking of pedals I do have a Snarling Dogs Bootsy Collins Wah/Fuzz which is pretty neat!

Surely, password stuff is automated no?

The implication here is that aspartame is often used in products that have these sugars present. Chances that aspartame is in a product without sugars is exorbitantly lower.

wolfshadowheart , to memes in An Academy award or Oscar at least.

Producing a video and writing an essay are two very different forms of work.

But because there is a similar end result does not mean the process is remotely the same.

wolfshadowheart , to memes in I might move again. (Or not)

I see both of these on all constantly.

wolfshadowheart , to asklemmy in People who can don't get mad and just go with the flow, how do you do it?

It’s mostly about how mindful I’m being, but it’s always about the perspective. Although, I have always been very laid back and easy going - I don’t have a problem being the leader but I also don’t mind just letting things play their course.

For something like your example - the things that get me the most are say, the towel I’m using to wipe my dogs feet gets caught on every edge imaginable, hanging and tugging. It’s frustrating because I am doing something that I expect to be a certain way and I’m meeting resistance over something so simple. I’m just trying to dry the dog, why does this little thing get hooked on everything?

And same, not just the towel for the dog but everything - putting back a wooden spoon and it not going in, repeatedly. Any of that sort of thing will get me. Something about the task supposed to be taking 5 seconds but then taking so much longer, compounded with the fact that like come on it’s so simple just get in there! Oh man, when a jacket gets caught as you’re taking it off? If I’m already on the verge of a bad mood that ruins me.

For other things though, it just doesn’t matter. Like, what does it really matter?? So I went to the store and forgot something. Yeah that does suck. Oh well! Unless it was something absolutely necessary and it was the last opportunity - fuck man, yeah it’s unfortunate but I mean… Nothing to be done about it now. Why focus on that? It’s funny because I legitimately have gotten more upset about my jacket getting stuck as I take it off than when I forget something at the store. What gives with that? Lol.

I am generally an optimistic, outgoing person who looks for the best in things. That doesn’t mean I don’t get set back for a few minutes, sometimes half an hour, over something pointless. Another example that happens to me often - you have a project or a plan, you know exactly what you want to do and how to do it. Then you go to look for X, Y, and Z. X is gone, Y is broken/not charged, and Z is there but the other two are fucked so what now?? Then you either have to half-ass it around the jank or give up the plan and do it later, but the motivation hit you 10 minutes ago so now you’re just set stuck seething about a project you wanted to do but can’t finish.

For me it’s all about perspective. When I am most easy going is when I care the least, and when I am able to go with the flow or quickly get over something, it’s almost a sort of contentment from nihilism. It’s not that “nothing” matters, it’s that what matters is that I’m right here right now - what I’m doing is sort of irrelevant? The core details exist and the little ones don’t matter.

For example with the dog again, when I come back from a walk in the winter time I know what you mean. The dogs feet are soaked, so are mine. I’m all hot and bundled up with wet socks. My jacket just got stuck as I was taking it off. But man, then I grab that towel and I start rubbing down my dogs legs, she hands me her paw all dainty and pants and then hands me the other one. Licking the air and looking at me. She’s just so damn precious that all I can focus on is how cute it is to clean her paws after our walk, with the added benefit that now the entire floor and furniture doesn’t get wet/muddy. It’s not so much the result of dry cleanliness I’m going for as much as it is living in the moment with her.

Each of these are rooted in plans with expected outcomes, or the results of something else unplanned. If you are able to shift your perspective about these things, that truly can help.

When plans with expected outcomes don’t go your way, I find myself looking at whether it was in my control or out of my control, and to what degree if any. Sometimes things are just entirely out of our control. If that’s the case, then so what? What could we possibly have done? Absolutely nothing, so why fret?

Sometimes it was something in our control. Well, if it didn’t happen and it was a mistake then it’s something to learn from and work on. If it wasn’t, then whatever still? Most things in life hardly affect us for more than 6 hours, so realistically why let something small affect you for even that long in the first place? If it was in your control then now you’ve learned how to better navigate it next time.

There’s all sorts of things that I could say, I understand and relate to this. Nothing that I’m saying by the way is meant to be negative, I recognize the same things and these are how I am about it.

My partner is very different from me, a cap to a soda could fall and the next 20 minutes are stressful. The disappointment from not getting something expected will last the rest of the day. But the in/out of control still remains true.

My only real “suggestion” among all this, since it’s mostly just validation, is that where possible try to set yourself up for success. Make routines that make your life easier - I’ve started setting a towel down as part of my W.A.L.K. preparation so she walks in that and I fold it round her when we’re back.

Follow the 5-5-5 rule, does it take 5 seconds, 5 minutes, or 50 minutes? If it takes 5 seconds to just put the can away, just do it. If it takes 5 seconds to put the dog food away, just do it. If it takes 5 minutes, plan it around another 5 minute task. Give yourself 15 minutes of dedication to something specific, with 45 minutes of room behind it. .

After 15 minutes, you have either finished your task and you can move on, or you have gotten heavily invested into it and you have the next 40 minutes to continue it. And of course if it takes 50 minutes, then you just know it’s a weekly task you have for that day.

And remember, if it’s something (small) that would get a negative reaction out of you - why? Is the loss of whatever happened really so much of a setback that taking 5-10-30 minutes more time to react to it worthwhile? But I know that it’s not just that easy, but it can always help to have reminders.

Think that’s about all from me, but I feel you. As a very happy, bubbly, uplifting person I still understand and resonate with this. I hope what I had to say is able to help, but even if not I hope it helps knowing someone else understands exactly what you are talking about and that this is a sliding scale that people exist on.

wolfshadowheart , to games in [Steam] Which lesser known games have you bought or are planning to buy in this sale?

I’m not sure if it’s on sale but I’ll just keep talking about Revita because it’s such a succinct rogue like that blends hollow knight and TBOI very well.

wolfshadowheart , to games in [Steam] Which lesser known games have you bought or are planning to buy in this sale?

That still happened on PC, or on my OG steam deck at least, but it was somewhat remedied by some commands to adjust settings. Things like turning off visible bots, background settings, UI elements. That leaves most of the processing just being you walking around/gathering and whatever background machinery you have going, vs all of everything.

I imagine those were not present on Switch/Xbox since these were basically commands applied to the game .ini.

Also FWIW, may not really be worth picking up again unless you really want to endgame it. The developer was kind of a chud to the team from some of the stories I read which seemed to result in the endgame kind of teetering off into nothing. Like, once you find all the NPC’s you’re not playing for anything but to build and optimize, even though it feels like it’s leading you on with more to unlock somehow.

I’d double check of course, as with anything it could be a bunch of nonsense. But yeah I pretty much agree, it’s an ok game with some issues, they can be remedied on PC but even then it’s just kind of like you work to it, you did it, it’s done and what was the point. There’s nothing to take away from the game, I guess.

wolfshadowheart , to asklemmy in What's the oldest piece of tech you still have running?

A few, a silver Pikachu Gameboy color, some synthesizers from the 1980’s, a unique guitar that I’ve only been able to find documentation of 1 other one online (Ibanez Nitro full wood body finish - it’s certainly a custom). And I think the last pride and joy is my Sony MDR-V600’s.

Anybody remember Cube World? Those little electronic cubes that you could magnetically attach to others and they could interact? Got a set of those too.

The music stuff is the oldest but it’s mostly second hand so it’s harder to claim. The headphones were a gift and new back then though, so they’re for sure, same with the Gameboy color and Cube World. Heh :)

wolfshadowheart , to technology in Over 50 per cent of users may shun social media by 2025 as misinformation, toxicity grow

(ಥ ͜ʖಥ)

wolfshadowheart , to til in TIL that a bunch of medieval manuscripts featured illustrations of knights fighting giant snails, and no one knows why

That’s true although I would also hypothesize that giant mollusks would likely fall into a biome that has these conditions.

That said, I could see body of a slug not really getting fossilized. The shell probably would be, but maybe not depending on circumstances.
