I have only read the first few because it is walled. However, this just does not seem entirely true. Did they bring any evidence of this claim?

Could also just be because… You know excessive use of social media, gaming and not trying to initiate your children to read.

I remember as a teenage boy, I disliked reading because school forced it upon me. So I ended up not reading for fun. My sis and mother kept reading and they bought me books from time to time, I slowly started to read and somewhere ended up quit reading again. School/ university.

Then along the way found a way to read digital books and loved to read again. Now I read from time to time.

No, not yet but I have the lovely encounter with one nutjob. Blocked the person and moved on.

Lemmy seems to slowly attract that kind of people, unfortunately. I think it is unavoidable.

I just tried the “abortion” word with swiping, it will not work. Just goes to show ”Siri” or “Sorry”.

Probably just an automatic reaction; look outside and then checking the internet on what is going on.

I liked the game but it felt 1 hour to longer than necessary.

I have nothing to back this up, only personal experience: It just feels a bit of the same. Though with somewhat more hostile people here and there.

This, hah.

At first I had no idea it was related to Draco and the like. Just show a cool anime girl art. I’m not really into the relationships stuff, just the art itself.

People can make genuinely good art.

If ads started to come on Lemmy, I would just stop using Lemmy itself and do everything through RSS.

If RSS would not work anymore, I would probably just leave.

Ocarina Remake, I already pre-ordered it and will pick it up tomorrow. Can’t wait to play it, well. After my mother played it for a few hours lol. I will not purchase GTA 6 since it is expensive, it is not on PC, and it is locked to 30 fps on PS5 (I have heard).

It depends, really. I usually just fiddle with PC (piracy, emulation and the like) but also game a lot (on PC) and recently got a Switch 2 with Mario Kart World (and tomorrow Zelda Ocarina Remake). If gaming does not satisfy my needs then I read, currently busy with Revenge Of Odessa and debating to start any of the Dostoyevsky books.

In the evening I usually settle down with tv series or anime. I have been binging a show called ‘’Dr.Bull 2016’’ and started the new season of Dexter Resurrection yesterday evening.

Socializing is not my thing, I’m really introverted and don’t really like people in general. I rather have alone time after spending 5 full days surrounded by people from work.

• Multiplayer (if I play it); No. Never.
• Single player; Yes. Trainers, mods and the like.

Having a full time job and only being able to game a few hours in the weekend. So I just want to enjoy and not being stuck and raging about one or two hard bosses. Unfortunately, I’m not a teenager anymore that can spend hours on a boss to beat.

Gaming is meant to be enjoyable and entertaining.

Sometimes I wonder why I’m still on Lemmy, the toxicity is pervasive and exceeds anything Reddit

Had the same thought before but then I realized, Lemmy’s blocking system is infinite. So block anyone who is immensely toxic. Win-win.

I fully agree with you.

I stated something similar a week ago or so and had one dude going nuts. I mean nuts;

• Spamming “fuck you” towards me.
• Saying I was bad at coding (he had no idea that I didn’t even care because, in fact I can’t code and never cared to learn).
• Saying my opinion does not matter (as if his opinion was superior lol).

No idea who the guy was, skimmed the comments and immediately blocked him. I thank Lemmy every day for having a infinite blocklist possibility.

I don’t code, don’t care about coding myself. I’m in the financial sector. Anyway, since you are disrespectful, rude and most of all you are a stranger, so bye! Blocked my love.

Be ready for loooong bullshit. I’m more than one hundred hours in and only ending the second “part one” (there are 4, then a common part two as far as I understand).

That’s really long, I’m used to Persona 5 Royal and Persona 3 Reload. Persona 5 took me 124 hours to finish.

but it doesn’t respect the player’s time

That’s a bit worrisome, I usually have about 1-1.5 hour game time. Might be even less soon because of new work, lol. Would you recommend the game (despite I have not played any other Fire Emblem)?

Fair point. Though, I wouldn’t mind that either despite not being a smoker. We are just different and have different opinions and that’s okay.

Anyway, lets see where this Switch 2 emulation is going (or not). I’m curious what is going to happen, will Nintendo go madman again?

Perhaps? I don’t know honestly, just wanted to mess around. Put it into the AI, got a response and commented it here and then… I moved on, lol.

The entire discussion about using AI or not using it, lets me cold. Even if I wanted to stay away from it, work pretty much forces me to use it, so eh lol.

It’s kind of funny that people call others “NPCs” for using AI, because that sounds pretty robotic in itself. Just because someone uses AI doesn’t mean they can’t think for themselves. People still decide what to ask, what to believe, and what to do with the answers. And honestly, “Another Brick in the Wall” was about people losing their individuality, not about attacking everyone who uses a new tool.

• ChatGPT

My point is; whether we want it or not, it will not suddenly disappear. It exists and it will always exists.

But anyway, keep being upset about everything related to AI. That will do good for your health, I suppose.

The irony is that calling people “NPCs” for using AI is itself a pretty scripted take. AI can generate text, but people still choose what to ask, what to accept, and what to do with it. “Another Brick in the Wall” was about resisting systems that flatten individuality—not about treating everyone who uses a new tool as mindless.
