yeah but my brain is a bitch too, and sometimes i wake up, turn off the alarm, and then go back to sleep fully believing my alarm will wake me up

i never said anything about not taking inspiration from other sources or re-using ideas. provided with what i said that’d be the most extreme assumption possible, why would you jump to the conclusion that i hold an opinion like that?

but you did say that people should start making their survival crafting games by using the most popular thing around (valheim) as the base and going from there (instead of, for example, looking at valheim and analysing what you enjoyed or didn’t enjoy about it, and using that research to help you make something better)

& i won’t stop liking games that i enjoy because they aren’t similar to a game that i don’t enjoy what T–T

if that pirate survival craft succeeds it won’t be because it was like valheim, and if it fails it won’t be because it wasn’t like it either. it will either succeed or fail for what it itself tries to be, and clearly it’s taking inspiration from different sources than valheim

idc about the popularity data, if every artist only sought to replicate what’s the most popular thing around we’d enter an age of total homogeny

you have what you like, i don’t like what you like, i have what i like. multiple things that some people like, and some dislike, can exist at the same time, and that is good

ew no please, i dislike Valheim and i do not want it at the base of all survival craft games

you’re free to enjoy what you enjoy, but don’t make sweeping statements about how a whole genre should look at one specific game for inspiration

not every good game has to innovate, some games take what’s already been made and improve/combine it in a way that elevates them above other ones.

not saying this game fits the descriptions - it’s on my wishlist but i’ll make a judgement when i can actually play it. but just saying that just because it’s been done before, doesn’t mean it can’t be good

remember that the end of the world has been caluclated many, many times now. sometimes with vibes, sometimes with actual data, and so far it hasn’t happened, somehow we keep on persevering despite everything

however sure you are of your estimates, the world is to chaotic to ever truly know

dubious method but correct conclusion, i’d give you half a point

i’d be willing to suffer another year of ram shortage if that meant all smart devices fucked off

maybe we could even see actual physical buttons on devices again! i miss buttons and toggles

if you want to be treated seriously maybe provide some proof instead of saying that you’re attuned to all datapoints and can therefore see the future lol

i’m being sincere. games are good, but when the environment they get released into is rotten, then they aren’t even allowed to thrive! and as much as i’d love to see portal 3, i’d rather see changes for the better in the gaming world

aw whack you’re right, when my banking app stops supporting my OS version i’ll have to update

ya i know, but i don’t really download anything on my phone or click suspicious links, i know this is not a perfect defence, but honestly, i hate UI changes more than i worry about malicious software

so this is what Valve is doing istead of pondering the number 3. actually great work! hope they keep being this cool forever

can i walk around this by simply never updating my phone? been (not?) doing that for a year already anyways

haven’t read that Narnia book yet

oddly enough my last dentist visit was my first in like 6 years, and i got complimented on my teeth too, the only note was “drink less tea” and that’s not happening lol. and i just brush with a normal toothbrush twice a day (sometimes, usually once)

so in short, idk why i got told i need to put in so much more effort

i was told flossing should be an at least 20min task (ideally 30min) + 20min of using those tiny inbetween teeth brushes, and that i should pay full attention to what i’m doing to make sure i’m cleaning my teeth well

all that made me feel like it’s too much work and now i continue to just not do any of that

yeah i assume so, but still, my dentist told me i should spend at least an hour a day on teeth care every day, and a fully attentive hour too. like bro, when am i supposed to have time between work, general hygiene, teeth care, meal making, and chores to do something i enjoy doing

feels to me like dentists see teeth as precious pearls that should never be touched by anything but the most gentle of waters and cared for every day for at least an hour

i really don’t get it, body parts are meant to be used, not just look pretty

i mean, the ad was in english so kinda? i never clicked on them so i can’t say for sure

though don’t forget that a person who speaks english doesn’t have to be from an english speaking country. most people who want to travel/live abroad will know at least some english

when i used apps with targeted ads, amongst generic type of stuff i also used to get two polar opposites of ads:

1. ah, we see you’re in poland and use english a lot, want to learn english?

2. ah, we see you’re in poland and use english a lot, we can help you get your immigration papers for legal employment

both at the same time btw. apparently being a polish national who speaks english fluently marked me as some sort of ad-anomaly

the ads also believed that i was a senior? at some point i even got a spam call inviting me to join a study on back pain T–T like bro you’re at least 10 years early, relax
