I used to think of it as bacteria on top of my eyeballs. Then my sibling put in the fear that the bacteria is inside the eyeballs, which made sense since washing my eyes didn’t really remove it. I eventually stopped giving it any thought.
Thank you for resolving it.
Would this make Steve Balmer a person who applies Steve’s Balm on themselves or on another person, or a person who makes Steve’s Balm?
After a traditional cinematic run, his latest release, Sitaare Zameen Par (Stars on Earth), will be made available for audiences exclusively on YouTube for just 100 rupees, the equivalent of less than £1. Other films in his back catalogue and future releases will follow.
This is not going to work.
People who like to watch movies and can afford ₹100, will watch it in theatres where several state governments already cap the ticket prices between ₹100-250. They go to theatres for the communal experience.
Those who can not afford, would watch the same movie on YouTube hosted by another channel for free.
Heck, people who can afford, choose to pirate movies because it is less of a hassle.
Though I applaud the move made by him, I have to think this move was persuaded more by YouTube as well as the fact that the movie failed to capture the magic of its "spiritual" predecessor.
I guess you meant Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman. But thank you for the book recommendation. I have added it to my reading list.
approaching it as a game is more likely to hurt your experience of it than help it
That is well put. Thinking of it as a game with objectives to compete and making progress towards the end, is somewhat detrimental to the experience. Akin to watching a movie to complete it rather than experience it.
post about whatever I'm playing pretty much weekly both here on !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works and on !gaming@beehaw.org in the weekly threads
Noted. Thank you.
Truly a joke worth risking one’s life.
Thank you. I did read some of the news. Just wanted to know if I missed something.
Unfortunately, I can already see the term “NSFW” being abused to fit whatever narrative the governments.
Moreover, it is setting a dangerous precedent for rest of the world, especially countries already leaning towards fascism.
Disco Elysium is my favourite game from the last decade (maybe even beyond, but I have a soft spot for old games).
To me, it is a case study of how well games work as a storytelling medium if done with the right mindset and people. Everything including the art style, music, game mechanics worked for the story, and it was a joy to experience that.
It is a shame what took place behind the scenes, and I wish there is a better way to show my support to the original developers.
P.S. I could not find a way to save/follow your profile here. So, I did the next best thing, and tagged you and saved your comments.
Out of the loop here. What incident(s) brought about this realisation?
I wasn’t aware about the similarities with Dark Souls, and about the designer’s previous interests.
I guess what I needed was a strong recommendation. Just purchased the game on Steam after checking for its compatibility on ProtonDB (it is platinum).
Thank you for the recommending the game, and for taking away the chore of deciding what to play this weekend.
Again, I am really glad we had this conversation.
Is the funny thing here the absurdity of the whole thing? Genuinely asking.

I learned about IBM’s Granite LLM[0] when a toot[1] had a mention of it. I came across the toot while reading a comment[2] here on Lemmy.
