Older gen z here too, born in ‘99, and while I haven’t noticed the analogue thing, I’ve 100% noticed tech illiteracy in general.

Like, I’m talking about having a downloads folder full of junk because they don’t know that that’s where downloads end up. Installers left untouched after programs are installed because they’re worried that deleting the installer will delete the installed program.

Imo being raised with closed ecosystems like iPhones really stunted tech literacy for a lot of people. I grew up jailbreaking my phones and used my parent’s windows pc, so I kind of escaped it.

That newer Prince of Persia game was supposedly good

Exactly this. If you want ai to exclusively be controlled by massive companies like Meta and Google, this is how you do it. They’ll be the only ones that can afford to pay for public copywritten content.

This sort of thing happens all the time, good intentions getting twisted over time.

Iirc the reason you’re not allowed to depict Muhammad, for example, was because Muhammad didn’t want pictures of to be used to worship him. He didn’t want to be deified basically.

Cut to today and his followers will literally kill anyone that even tries, even those outside of the religion, due to their worship of Muhammad, something that he clearly never would have wanted. It literally goes against the reason he had the rule in the first place.

Anyone else here watch Moral Orel…?

I’m confused, are you talking about literal depression or just feeling generally sad/down?

I’m diagnosed with depression, have been since I was a teenager, but I don’t know many others that are.

Make your dreams a reality! If you try hard enough even you can write prompts

I hadn’t checked out their other stuff, so I didn’t know about Imposter Factory. Another game added to the wishlist, excited to check it out!

Lots of indie games, but To the Moon is an easy one. Super sad, but it’s a short game that’s 100%’d once you finish the story

Basically just focus on staying present and not letting yourself get carried away by your internal monologue. It’s infinitely harder than it sounds. You can close your eyes, focus on a specific spot in a room, focus on your breathing, anything to keep yourself present and focused. Keep your mind empty as best you can.

The best advice I ever got was, when you have an intrusive thought during meditation, to acknowledge it, and let it fade away. Don’t focus on it or criticize yourself for it, as that will usually only make it harder to refocus yourself.

Meditation is super helpful for a lot of reasons, but for me personally it helped a lot with negative thinking and mental traps (like catastrophizing and stuff). It helps you to be more aware of when you’re getting carried away by thoughts, and how to push them aside and be present.

Look into mindfulness if you’re interested, it’s helped me a lot.

It’s completely free if you own Fallout 4, like Enderal for Skyrim.

It’s a mod that effectively makes Fallout 4 a new game. It’s set in its own world, has its own story, and has its own unique mechanics.

Some people are even saying it’s the best Fallout since NV.

Edit: If you’re curious here’s a link to the site. You can grab it easily from GoG if you own Fallout 4 over there, it’s a bit more involved if you have the Steam version.

It was on stream, so hopefully someone recorded it and uploads it.

In this video though, at the very end, this guy shows another clip that I haven’t been able to find of Thor reacting to one of Ross’ comments and… well I can’t think of a better word than melting down tbh.

Honestly him calling Ross a “greasy used car salesman” really hurt to see. I didn’t take Thor as the type to insult someone like that simply for disagreeing with him.

Kind of makes me wonder if his whole nice guy thing is an act. Either way it calls into question the person I assumed he was.

Hey if they did a full 180 in like a year then that’s great, but somehow I doubt GTA6 will be releasing on PC on the same day as consoles

Uh huh, pretty sure Take-Two are the ones that released RDR on literally every platform over the last like 3 generations except for PC

Why do I love this so much? It’s so stupid but it’s adorable

Apparently very, it’s taking heavy inspiration from NV as opposed to 3 and 4. It even brought back the failed skill dialogue options.

Luckily, despite Bethesda’s blatant attempts to indefinitely stall the release with their conveniently timed updates and lack of heads up, GoG stepped in and saved the day.

So currently Bethesda can’t do anything to break it, even with updates. GoG allows players to play older versions with no risk of forced updates, and even if you’re on Steam, the team has made a downgrader and instructions on how to stop automatic updates.

Just want to add that I, and loads of others from what I’ve seen, thought exactly the same way you do, in that the game really didn’t seem like my type of thing. I don’t play dnd, and I haven’t enjoyed other games like it in the genre before.

I mean even their previous game, Divinity Original Sin 2, I tried so hard to get into but couldn’t.

But let me tell you… not only was it my goty, it became one of my favorite games of all time. I seriously couldn’t recommend it more.

Only one medium(?) pizza each for like 10+ hours worth of movies? Cmon now, you can do better than that!
