What I fear more than the tech is the idea that when most jobs are replaced with it, people will still be expected to find work somehow.
My cat showed up at our back door as a kitten and my sister was able to catch her and get her spayed. We kept her in the basement for a while away from the other cats, but I would spend time playing with her and sleep on a futon to keep her company (or maybe that was for my sister’s dog while she was at college, but I think it was for both of them). Anyway, she was generally pretty shy around most people, but she was my best buddy. She spent well over 90% of her time in my bedroom.
She liked to cuddle with me, but usually only for a few minutes at a time.
We had to put her down less than a year ago. That morning was the first time I actually cried in over 25 years.
I loved the time I tried to copy something on StackOverflow and a fake ad popped up for a SO-branded copy/paste device.
I’ve been on three different ADHD drugs over the past 30 years. I don’t know where I’d be without that, but I think I’m much better off than I would be without it.
I was on adderall for a little while back in school, but they took me off of that due to the weight loss (It was a good time for me though. I had hobbies and I was thin. Now I’m a lazy fat-ass).
Far Cry 3 was the game that got me to stop buying Ubisoft games. I enjoyed the game, but when someone invited me to an online match (something that almost never happened for me) I found that playing online required some U-Play account or whatever they called it, and it cost $10. I tried the free account code that came with the game, but my brother already used it. So at that point I was pissed. I didn’t play online often, but it would’ve been nice to play with one of the very few friends I had without being expected to pay more money for the game I already paid for.
Fuck Ubisoft. I hope that company burns.
La-Mulana would have to be one of my top picks. With the catchy music, the “fuck you” difficulty, and the classic adventure theme really makes it stand out in my mind.
There’s !animalswithjobs@lemmy.world.
It looks like there are a few games I was slightly interested in trying at some point, but not enough to buy them, but having so many together as a single purchase, I couldn’t resist. I even paid the default price of $20 instead of $10.

You don’t want your cherished memories (and darkest secrets) being automatically uploaded to facebook? What’s wrong with you?
I just finished playing Among Ashes and I thought it was quite good but I finished it in about 7 hours. This isn’t an old game though, but it has a retro style for much of the game.
I think he’s about 12 now.
When my cat had to go to the vet, someone else would drive while I held the carrier open and pet the cat and let her look out the window. She would still cry, but not constantly.
I don’t remember if it was on sale, but I got 10 Dead Doves on a whim and I’m not dissapointed so far.
Run for office and be the lesser evil.
I’m pretty sure my church’s diocese allows gay and women priests, but I think for a lot of people it’s kind of a “too little, way too fucking late” type of thing.
Things can’t get better as long as propagandists like those at Fox news are allowed to operate unchecked. No matter what happens, no matter how many people get hurt, they will continue to find a way to give credit to the conservatives and demonize the left. Even if they have to outright fabricate stories to do so.
These people use “socialism” as a scary word to argue against anything that benifits poor people. And they send emails about how evil democrats are to anyone stupid enough to read them. They are a cancer.
I wouldn’t say no to another Echo Night.
My dad had a pet skunk as a kid. I think he said it kind of acted like a cat.
Worth it.
