Old soul :)

They talk about Apple products, but that’s not something I concern myself about. I just like vibing with Grey’s beautiful mind

He’s still in the Cortex podcast :)

CGP Grey might be one of the most interesting people to ever have lived. I cannot get enough of his podcasts. I still miss Hello Internet dearly.

Do you happen to live in an old haunted house?

Yeah, is it like the Inception sound?

English really has the worst compound word rules of any Germanic language, if you can really call them “rules”.

I read two posts in time of peace, and two in time of war

I read two posts before I read two posts, and then I read two more

Where in my comment does it state that I don’t pay indie devs?

I spend money on Steam, but I have no illusions* that I’m not owning the things I get there.

I’d much rather have a title on GOG than Steam. At least there I get to keep it.

I was thinking of sites like GOG when I wrote my comment.

I have never heard of a Steam game you could run without having Steam installed

Buy second hand.

In my country first party titles go for $60 and all the way to $90

Second hand prices for these are often between $30 and $40.

And you can always sell those used games, and not really lose much (if any) money in the process.

Ps. Prices will fall even more when Switch 2 comes out next year. Hopefully it will be a repeat of the post-Wii days, where most Wii games were dirt cheap.

I purchased it purely as an all-in-one indie game player for the television, that had a nice form factor. Was easy to connect with controllers, and relatively high-end.

I don’t really like playing on it’s joysticks and buttons, but that doesn’t matter when I only really use it docked.

It’s nice with a relatively high-end console when on the go. I usually bring a controller along for this, though.

It was expensive, but performs exactly as advertised.

Have I got some good news for you then.

One cannot buy digital content with DRM, only rent it.

It’s impossible to regret acquisitions you’ve never made.

Point in case. You can sell on your physical games. Not so much the digital ones.

All that said, I too use Steam, just not mainly anymore.

Edit: Holy smokes did this blow up! I’m happy to drive engagement here on the fediverse, albeit I do believe I struck a nerve. Either that, or some people have poor reading capabilities - I see the comments refuting something I haven’t said.

I purchased a Walkman some years ago. It handles most file types, but most importantly, it handles lossless formats like flac, which the format I rip my CDs to.

You can choose to transfer files directly to it, or use Sony’s Music Center, which works like iTunes (Apple Music?).

If you wanna pair quality with a decent price, this might be something to consider. It has a built-in DAC, not that I’ve used it a whole bunch, it’s still pretty cool that it has this ability.

The post clearly asked for the worst names, not the very best /s

Buy used.

The disk-less “cheaper” PS5 is 100% the more expensive option.

Also, if you buy a new game you’ll have the option to sell it on, recovering some of your initial investment.

For it to be a meme, other people should also be doing something similar optimally in different variations - either before or after he signed these. For example to burn a funny message + signature in wood.

If this happened, idk. Potentially, this was/became a meme

I’ve got a small army

Na na, na na na na, na na na Katamari Damacy

Climbing / bouldering

I concur with most other people in this thread. Any exercise will do wonders. This is coming from a guy who’s been into nerdy stuff my entire life - getting into a rhythm of actually wanting to do exercise is alfa omega.

I’m throwing bouldering into the pool of options. I’ve heard people with ADHD often get really into it because it is easy to get into, and does not demand a lot of prep work.

It can be expensive some places, but if the thing makes me work out without me even “knowing it” then it’s worth the money for me.
