I truly drank my fill of the first game. I found it to be an exemplary of “generous” game development with all the unlockable characters and the “dark/ hell world” and the unlockable lo-fi mini-version of the game, and IMO you can see that generosity also in how it influenced future successful games such as Celeste (also has a fun lo-fi pico8 version of itself for instance). ugh I just loved it so much. no I’m down for them to make a 3D game. I would die for them

I usually try out a couple of new distros whenever I am either setting up a new computer, or something happens with my current machine that requires a fresh OS anyway.
I’ve been married to Pop!_OS for a couple of years now. however, for the past couple of months I’ve been booting exclusively into KDE Plasma on my desktop computer; almost everything works really well for me in that environment, except the built-in Pop!_OS stuff itself, such as the pop shop, does not work very well. so I might end up switching to a distribution that’s built around KDE, such as KDE Neon.
I’m also pretty curious about the Nix package manager and the concept of immutable desktop systems, so I guess I might try NixOS at some point? I don’t know much about it yet.
sunshine@lemmy.mlto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•30M After divorce I got literally zero support from anyone, why?7·1 month agohey man, I’m so sorry this is happening to you.
some people in here are taking the view that society is less kind to men than to women. everyone’s entitled to their opinion, I guess.
I wanted you tell you though that I share your experience to some extent; I went through a breakup maybe 6 years ago and I lost almost all of my closest friends in that breakup. I’m not even on bad terms with my ex, lol. but it did just shake out that way. I’ve needed to build new roots, and I’ve had to do some introspection and learn how to go about building roots (partly since I’d moved to a new place).
hang in there. I don’t really want to say “let yourself move on” because your story is part of who you are, and right now that breakup and that rift with those friends is such an immediate and intense part of your story, but I promise it will become much less immediate and less intense with time.
I know it’s just a metaphor but it really would depend on what was wrong with the router.
sunshine@lemmy.mlto Shell Scripting@programming.dev•Looking for help: Running the same commands for multiple, similar variablesEnglish2·1 month agoI apologize, I misread “want to keep using shell” as “want to keep using the shell” and I figured that you probably meant you didn’t get what the shebang was for.

#!
is called a shebang, and it’s job is to tell the computer what interpreter to use to run your script if you execute the script, rather than executing bash and passing the script as an argument. that is,./script.sh
rather thanbash my_script.sh
. note, you will need to runchmod +x my_script.sh
first in order to flag the script file as okay to execute.
I feel like the fragility is more of a concern than the weight. either console is sooo entertaining and nice to have on, like, a trainride or whatever that it more than pays for its weight burden in your pack; The risk of it getting its screen broken and needing to be fully replaced is a lot more daunting to me than the need to carry an additional 5 lb around. My steam deck came with a carrying case that I always really appreciate for just that reason.

well I mean are they drinking less than they used to do, or are they drinking less than the average person? (sorry, I know I could just read the article myself, putting kids to bed)
edit: they’re drinking less than they themselves used to do

sunshine@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•A Deadly Love Affair with a Chatbot ∣ Sewell Setzer was a happy child - before he fell in love with Google's AI chatbot and took his own life at 14.English3·2 months agothat additional context is super interesting, but it doesn’t take away from the fundamental reality which is that when someone opens up to you about suicidal ideation, it’s not acceptable to merely do your best to dissuade them; it’s critical to get them to help they need, and there’s just no way for a LLM to do that.
this individual is an outlier in that his personal outcome was spectacularly bad, but his story seems familiar to me. I know a lot of people who seem to feel like they’re building real relationships with these bots.
yep, exact same thing. Apple is the name of the company, Macintosh is the brand of computer

I love to noodle around on my guitar. those mainstream instruments are great for people like me where time is short because the chords are all wrote up for you in advance
