Also Rocket League. I’ve got like 2K hours and managed to get to Grand Champion (1) once, but usually hang around in Champ 2 or 3. In a way I just play like a very consistent Diamond player though. I can semi-reliably wavedash, sometimes manage to hit a half flip, and can’t do any flip resets, musty flicks, etc. I solely rely on positioning, shooting at the right time, fast aerials, bumping, and boost stealing.
During my master’s degree we had a course where we had to make a small app or data collection thingy using the Mastodon api (or something, can’t fully remember). So I was aware it existed, and contemplated joining at a few points. Ultimately though, I just don’t really vibe with Twitter-like social media. After Reddit did the thing, I saw Lemmy, which suits me way better. I like it so far. I’m donating a small amount of money to help with keeping the instance running, and I hope this remains a cool place to be for many years to come.
Sorry for being pedantic, but it’s “Ruud” not “Rudd”. I’ve noticed that the same mistake often gets made with other Dutch spellings, like the Haas F1 team being written as “Hass” online. Do repeated vowels feel weird or something to people who don’t speak Dutch, or is it just a coincidence?
Ah it seems to work now, thanks!
How do I follow these links correctly? I’m using the web UI right now, but clicking the link will open the other instance (and thus not allow me to subscribe). I assume the text above the link is the correct reference, but it’s not clickable for me
Yeah this is definitely a good mentality to become a better person. I’m still struggling a bit with wanting to do everything perfectly, which causes me to stop doing it. But I’ve started getting more success with just telling myself they “anything is better than nothing”.
I used to not really do any sports and eat whatever I felt like. In the past few years I’ve started turning it around by picking up running and trying to eat better. If I would’ve expected perfection in either of those, I would’ve quit within a month. But by being proud of every good decision I make, however small it is, I managed to keep it going and changed my health for the better.
To be honest, I disagree. It’d be logical if that was true, because that’s what you’d expect, but I’ve met plenty of counterexamples. People who were well educated in some subject and therefore assumed that they know everything better. I’ve found that for a certain group of people, having a bachelor’s or master’s degree makes them overestimate their ability massively. Some of them you could at least partially convince with facts, but I’ve also met a few of them who has gone completely off the deep end. Well educated doesn’t always mean intelligent
Bruh moment. Is that a mod or just normal base game or DLC content?
Ah yes, the Sims 3, a famous shooting game /s. But seriously, are there guns in the sims 3?
This one definitely has potential. Some stuff looks janky, but given that it launches in 2024 that’s totally normal and there’s still plenty of time to fix that. The graphics look amazing and there’s plenty of cool mechanics in the trailer already such as asking Nix to interact with all kinds of environment objects, the blaster modes, and the flying and speeder.
Oi this seems interesting. Honestly I think I would’ve preferred an open world game in this setting with character customization rather than a fixed protagonist, but I’m nevertheless curious about this one.
The instance system definitely makes it a bit confusing. I’m a programmer and I’ve played around with some Mastodon stuff during my study. Still, as a user, it’s quite chaotic sometimes.
I’m kinda wondering what this will converge towards. Is everyone going to join the same instance? Are different communities be kinda randomly spread over instances, where for every community in the end one instance dominates? Or will there just be chaos?
There’s also some buggy behavior every now and then, but that’s easily forgiven imo.
Nope, I’m European so I’ve never heard of it tbh. I like pizza, so I wouldn’t mind trying if I ever end up ip in the area somehow
