Sounds like something medical? Like depression or sleep apnea as someone else mentioned. It’s hard to enjoy life when you don’t have the energy to engage with it.
Please see a doctor!

It’s the name. PP and abortions are tied together in the minds of conservative voters, whether or not that particular branch provides abortion services. Texas legislature wants to burn down PP at all costs.
But then, Texas did something no other state had tried yet: It walked away from about $30 million in annual federal funds rather than allow Planned Parenthood to continue to provide contraception to low-income women. In 2013, Texas launched its own women’s health program, relying entirely on state dollars.
Texas’ reproductive health care landscape never recovered from this tornado, even when the state tried to make up the lost funding in future sessions.
Maybe AAA games just don’t need to be as large or sprawling. Release one full campaign with everything you need included in the price. Then if it does well offer dlc.
As the article points out, balder’s gate was early access for 3 years, sold at full price, and still has bugs. It’s not an exception to the rule, larian just delivered a good product that had good source material behind it.
For me, it’s definitely option 2. I really like the way Dark Souls handles it, where the armor sets looks the same on both genders, and everyone can be as tart or as modest as they like.
Maybe there’s a case to be made for a setting in BG3 that pixelates the naughty bits, but looking through youtube comments on BG3 romance scenes (for science!), most people seem to think the nudity is funny more than anything else. The few complaints about nudity really seem to be about the fact that they have to look at a dick/gay couple, which i don’t have too much sympathy for.
Are people really mad about nudity, or are they just mad that it’s not all het nudity?
Edit: ok so after some research, looks like full nudity is an optional setting, and all body models (male or female) can have dicks or vulvas. Which makes me think there’s an anti trans component to complaints as well.
Just navidrome & the Synology suite (drive, photos, video)
I’m lazy 🫠
I have a feeling that once they start getting into how exactly to implement ActivityPub, they’re going to run into the existing issues, decide it’s not worth the effort, and just quietly not do it.
If it’s learning something new that you’re after: take classes, whether irl or online, about things that interest you. It’s more fun without midterms/exams anyways.
If it’s the social circle, maybe move to a more urban area?
I like using KeePass and just syncing the password file between devices. Nobody can get open the file without at least the master password (you can use a key file as well), and it does 2fa.
Threads hasn’t even implemented ActivityPub yet, and there’s no guarantee it will do so in the future. Or even that it will implement it in a way that links with lemmy.
I personally haven’t seen a post from lemmy.world admins pledging to block threads. Even if you do, take it with a grain of salt.
I’ve personally blocked communities and users that talk about reddit/threads all the time. It’s cool that they have a space to do it, I’m just not super into those topics right now and can always unblock them later.
I’m also concerned about the potential for embrace/extend/extinguish, but searching for other fediverse users and posts is enough of a hurdle that threads might end up naturally staying a fairly separate instance.
I feel like several things are intersecting here:
PC gaming took off in the 90s. I’m not clear on the history of consoles but I’m wondering if they became widespread in the 80s? Having these devices at home probably created a larger generation of gamers.
Gaming was “for boys” until very recently, and tbh the inclusion of women as the default audience for games is still a work in progress. Game protagonists are usually male, romance options usually assume the player is a straight man, even the quests and the way NPCs are written are colored by these assumptions.
Video games have gotten so much more complex in a very short amount of time. The storylines are richer, the writing and visual effects have gotten signifixlcantly better. Someone who has only experienced early arcade games or clicker mobile games wouldn’t see gaming in general as a worthy hobby for adults.
Most news sites have rss feeds, sometimes even by category.
Tumblr also supports rss, and a bunch of people have fandom specific or aesthetic blogs. Tumblr’s tag system remains one of the best, so I’d use that to find interesting blogs to follow.
Wow the potential for a /c/lemmydrama is already brewing with that admin’s responses lol.
I see what they mean about petite/young looking people, but is this the hill they really want to die on? They’re making proper moderation more difficult for themselves by splitting hairs.
Power users to me are people who don’t use the default settings/apps. Could be add ons, could be third party apps.
That’s still a big range in tech savviness, but it generally separates out people who are willing to troubleshoot, put up with a bit of wonkiness in their experience, and in general care more about how the powers that be operate the site/software/whatever.
Wordle and 2048 are also games I’ve enjoyed
If you’re still bored, maybe an ebook reader like Libby or librera reader
Or a podcast app - I use antennapod
Minesweeper or sudoku are great if your internet connection/phone isn’t great and you want to kill some time.
I’ve just been opening links in new tabs for this reason.
So many tabs… 🥲
I don’t think the lemmy subreddit clones have the same mods as the ones on reddit - people are just firing them up.
Tbh i was not aware that Ireland was ever in love with Joe Biden?
