Re: shitposts, it definitely strongly depends on who you follow. My home feed on mastodon is inundated with shitposts (and I like each one)

It has been a while, but there was a time when, if I was feeling really anxious and almost panicky, a quick playthrough of Enter the Gungeon would chill me right out.

That’s exciting :) I definitely have a lot of nostalgia for Quake 2. The Quake 1 remaster from a little while back was really well done, and remained true to the original, so I hope this keeps that up.

Ooh thanks for pointing it out. Looks like I have it from a bundle too, haha. I will give it a read.

Buncha youngins with your GBAs.

My favourite OG gameboy game was Kirby’s Dream Land. Played and replayed it many times. Even had one of those attachments to magnify it and light up the screen when it got dark :)

Old article but still true. Love boomer shooters :)

This is really cute, thank you for sharing it :D

Nothing wrong with being comfortable with they/them pronouns but still considering yourself cis. Labels are useful, but ultimately not important; you are you!

If you want to experiment a bit, go for it! Maybe there’s something to explore. Maybe it solidifies that you are cis. Great! A lot of people are rigid with these things, but it doesn’t have to be. Do what feels right; labels can come later, or not at all, and that is all okay :)

Looking at Steam, I’ve got 800 hours in Stellaris, 500 in Factorio, 300 in Deep Rock Galactic, and down rapidly from there. Those are outliers, I buy a lot of single player indie games in the 10 to 20 hour range. Some less than that! I think I prefer shorter games, so I can actually finish them, and try a wider variety.

Then again, I have an unknown number of hours in Doom and Doom 2, since I don’t play it on steam and have been playing it since 1995. But, I haven’t replayed the base games in years; people continue to make new maps for it, after all this time.

Grew up in the Maritimes in Canada and that sort of culture was there for me, too. I definitely had some bad alcohol habits in my early to mid 20s. At one point, I could go through a 1.5 litre of wine solo, no problem.

I’ve dried out somewhat. Still a few drinks a week, but moderation is good (and cheaper)

34, here. I’m still a youth!! XD

Eh. I like the internet and the connections it allows us to form. I think internet access for all is a good thing.

I do miss a time when cellphones weren’t ubiquitous, though. They have their purpose but there’s a certain social expectation to always be available, and I think that is a bad thing. I miss disconnecting. I guess, in principle, I could literally just do that.

Wish I knew. I didn’t come out until I was an adult, and had moved across the country XD

Do you have any other family members you feel more confident about? Maybe they could offer some support.

I’m liking it. Seems chill. Some growing pains and there’s not quite as much here as I was following on the other site, but, maybe that’s a good thing and humans aren’t actually meant to have a constant information firehose?

I noticed that there’s one thread on lemmy.ca, made by an account on lemmy.ml, that I just absolutely cannot reply to. It hangs, and nothing gets posted. I’m able to reply to other threads in the same community.

How exactly are these things structured? Like, could that issue be related to lemmy.ml doing its migration, even if the topic was posted on another instance? It was very weird behavior.

I’m not big on the main parade, but I love the smaller community marches, and make sure to join them if I can. So, Toronto trans march and dyke march, for sure :)

DUSK has a pretty good soundtrack :D
