piece

I’m not OP and no, TikTok is absolutely a no-go for me. I couldn’t care less about trends tbh.

I don’t think giving up completely is the goal, it’s just a temporary measure. When you’re used to spending two hours a day on YouTube, you can’t just watch a video because then you’ll just watch another and another and another for two hours

I’m trying to use this whole reddit madness to quit using the internet for anything that isn’t intentional. The fact that I’m here writing a comment shows that it’s not going perfectly, but so far reducing the time I spend scrolling or watching YouTube has definitely improved my headspace.

The simple act of not using my phone or any other screen until I get out of home in the morning makes me so much more energetic and my mind more clear.

It’s a fucking addiction and most of us have it without realizing. The horrible part is that quitting cuts you out of so much stuff, but it really is worth it.

Damn I didn’t know about it and now I want it!

I didn’t know soulseek and downloaded music for the first time in ages, tried listening to some FLACs of songs I only ever streamed and damn now I think I understand audiophiles

It’s an old (early-internet?) joke iirc. And yes, I think that’s the answer

I think I only saw a trailer when it was announced. It looked kina horrible to be honest, but after reading this I’m imagining it like one of those games that are kind of bad by usual standards and that you can’t really recommend to anyone like you would recommend any other game, but that is just so unique and special in its own way that it sticks with you. Something like Pathologic maybe, but without the depression

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, and I hated it.

It takes a very cool premise, then fills it with incongruences and predictable twists that you understand chapters ahead of the protagonist. Then it all ends up being (SPOILERS AHEAD) a “humans used to literally talk to nature, modern society bad” mumbojumbo with some kind of unexplained multiverse in it.

What’s the best thing that can happen to a singer?

Having a name that sounds good

Thanks for the suggestion!

Since you look much more knowledgeable than me, could you help me understand how to navigate the overwhelming amount of different versions for every piece of music? For now I’m completely ignoring who’s playing and conducting and sometimes I timidly try to listen to another version, usually just to come back to the comfort of the first version I listened

I recently started listening to classical and boy does it require a completely different listening approach! I’m listening almost exclusively to Mahler’s No.5 since my attention fades away after the first movement and I need lots of listening to know what’s actually going on

I live at the top of a hill and keep thinking “oh it’ll take no time if I shield surf my way down”

I’m using Top 6 Hours since I’m trying to not use my phone that much, and when it gets boring I switch to Hot or New.

Sorting by New is particularly refreshing since the communitoes are smaller and it doesn’t feel as a depressing ocean of posts no one will interact with.

I hate multiplayer games, but the only one I play from time to time is Rocket League with a friend. It’s good because we generally start casual just to have something to do while talking over discord, then you slowly get involved, win a bit, loose a bunch, get angry, get back to being chill and chatting, repeat.

I keep hearing this argument when it’s about Nintendo, but it never happens with the other companies. What Sony and Microsoft do is upgrade the hardware and change the aesthetic of the console, and that’s about it. The reason the Wii U failed is because it felt like an accessory (marketing focused on the pad and the actual console was very similar to the original Wii).

I don’t think they can do anything that isn’t hybrid now.

Same here, with the only exception of games I keep getting back to (basically my all-time favorites that I replay every few years) and games I drop and then decide to restart (and then drop, and restart, and drop, and restart).

Recently I’ve been avoiding games that are more than 20-40 hours (doing main+some side quests) because I came to the conclusion that there’s no game longer than that that doesn’t have a bloated-to-deatb story or gameplay mechanics that feel more like a treadmill than a game.

Saw this video less than a month ago! Really well made, now I want to play OoT again for the first time since I played the 3DS port as a kid

I think this is also, like, illegal? At least I the EU

I don’t really get how people’s problem with Bethesda is bugs and glitches, which are completely solvable, and not the writing that makes you want to remove some brain tissue from your skull so that it doesn’t bother you that much
