Hard agree, a well moderated interview can be interesting regardless of who the interview is. We all lead our own complex lives.

Build trust by having AMAs of interesting non-celebrity people.

The plus side is that it’s open source, so we could look into having some way to collapse crossposts in view so that you eg. see a single link with a “see other conversations about this” button.

yes, it is so small I can’t read it, you’re right

I’d love to find out that that’s the real Margot Robbie hiding in plain sight.

I don’t think they’d bring anyone from outside Lemmy.

Tempted to plug in, you mean?

Yeah I have a cork-leather wallet, it’s awesome. Lasting better than my prior two supposedly leather ones. Not sure it would work as a belt though, idk

Actually, and in opposition to the post, if I’m going to use citrus peel in stuff, I do wash it with a little soap. Many pesticides are wax based and won’t come off with water. Soap and scrubbing is way more likely to get them off.

Berries though? Yecch.

Huh. What an odd direction to go. I like retro gaming but I can’t imagine having an entire console taking up space just for the occasional curiosity of a new Atari 2600 level game coming out. I can’t imagine they have a huge market

Godot is so enticing to me. I was heavily into RPG maker in the early oughts, not so much out of any love of the jrpg genre but just because it was mind blowing to be able to generate any kind of game so easily. Of course, now I have a “job” and “kids” and I probably won’t be able to play seriously with godot until the latter grows up and possible until I retire from the former, but it’s always there… beckoning…

I’m not too worried about the lack of innovation from the AAA games, as an indie game enthusiast. For the moment, there doesn’t seem to be any threat of corporatocracy wiping out the indie scene. When you look back at the innovation in the 90s, while it wasn’t indie by our current standards, the “wild west” nature of it all meant that the work the innovators were doing at the time was quite analogous to the typical small scale passion projects done by modern indie. The craze hasn’t died off, it’s just mingled with big studio stuff now.

And while those big studio things are less inherently innovative, we do still see things like Half Life Alyx now and then. I don’t think it’s a bad time to be into gaming.

What’s bonkers to me is realizing that this is only two years after quake 1, which in turn was only three years after doom, which was less than a year after wolfenstein 3d. We went from Wolfenstein 3d to Unreal in 6 years.

I remember that, too. It feels to me like some time around 2010, game graphics finally reached a stride where they all looked quite good, and any further development since then has been incremental… but for that first decade, it was unbelievable how rapidly it was progressing.

There are still a lot more people on twitter.
