A hundred percent, but the fact remains that journalists have a very hard time supporting themselves in their profession. A job that is critical (when done well) to an informed public.

It must be depressing knowing you could just take a TypeScript React bootcamp and probably double salary in a year. Like, journos have an important job. It’s just not lucrative, despite its value to people/society.

Just do your best.

“If you clean your room every day you never have to clean your room” that one neat freak aunt that I laughed at when I was younger but now I low key see the wisdom 👁️ 👁 👁️

sure why not

He has also praised Hitler on social media.

Fucking what???

First time with one of these? They are pretty cool, yeah

Is this a Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell reference? https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Jonathan_Strange_and_Mr._Norrell

That was fast. I was expecting a little more lip service while the technology was so controversial

Pretty accurate to the story, now that I actually read it.

I’ve taken to saying “uhhhhhh” with a stupid expression on my face until I’ve processed the sounds / their meaning

I think you’re fine because this sounds totally normal to me

This mental checklist of things that point to me having adhd is growing uncomfortably large. Is there anything that can point to someone not having adhd?

Legitimately, when I was quitting nicotine, I would scroll on my phone when I was getting withdrawal pangs, and it helped.

Nowadays I have to watch myself, or else I’ll potentially lose hours. I know exactly what addiction feels like: going without and satisfying what feels like a need - it feels right. And these apps are definitely addictive. I didn’t really notice until I tried to stop.

I felt this way with instagram. My phone can barely handle the web app and you can’t even replay the video without an account. Truly garbage UX

Haha yeah, I remember we disagreed on something, but now I can’t remember what. Can’t have been too fundamental, anyway – see you around!

That sounds very healthy.

Oh hey sugar_in_your_tea - I’m starting to recognize you from a couple of other comment threads in this community :)

They thought the party was going to last forever, so they ordered a bunch of jumbo pizzas and kegs

I mean it’s more like they paid themselves a bunch of bonuses and hired super duper growth hacking experts or whatever, and now they can’t pay for them, so god forbid they cut from the top

I agree that the game falls apart without challenge, but the challenge will vary by player, especially those of different abilities. So while I wouldn’t use them (until I get older and slower maybe), I support the addition of optional accessibility options in Souls games. They aren’t a fun little experiment anymore - they’re a proven formula, and I believe it can survive tweaking.

I agree with the person you were replying to, and I am glad that the Souls formula isn’t the norm (I’ve played all of them, and haven’t finished a one)…

But the Soulses get a pass from me personally, because their whole thing is about being present in the moment and overcoming what appear to be unbeatable odds. It’s the closest thing in modern gaming that gave me the feeling of being crushed by, and overcoming, the first Airship level in Mario 3.

That said, I’m not against accessibility option in a Souls game, so long as they’re optional.
