Anything within the MMORPG genre, the Diablo-like genre, and the Looter Shooter genre.

Played them on my own -- Felt like I was grinding just so I could grind some more, the entire thing felt like an exercise in pointless skinner-boxing with no reward other than "number go up"

Played them in the company of friends -- Second verse same as the first, but now less tedious because of voice-chat with people whose company I enjoyed, the micro-instant they had something else to do I'd log off immediately because the whole thing bored me.

Then I'll see people get excited for like, Diablo 4, and it's like -- This is the same skinner box as the last three games, but now slightly prettier. And now you know you are giving your money to abusers and I'm like "?!?!?!?!?????!?!?"

How do people get a kick out of clicking the same monsters until they explode like piñatas for a random chance at a helmet that gives them +.5% gullibility status?

Every video game is this on some level, but these games are so very transparent with this, I just can't. Not only do I not enjoy them, I flat-out don't understand how people enjoy them.

Another comment already said everything I was going to say in a far more eloquent manner, so refer to @t3rmit3@beehaw.org 's comment below :P

Well I'll be.

I'll test it more extensively, still, neat!

Seems you tested a lot of options. I've been testing Heliboard since the first reply I got, but uhhh.....

Would any of those you tested happen to support multilingual typing? As in, detecting when you switch languages without having to tap a button? I alternate between English and Portuguese a lot and having to tap something to switch is a nuisance.

The "collapse" is a cope. A non denominational version of the rapture. It being "all over" is something people dream of because oblivion also means an end to pain.

Society won't "collapse".

Life will just get shittier and shittier in such a slow, gradual manner that most people won't even realise it is happening. More work for less pay, less rights and freedoms, more repression, more wars, etc.

Just say you hate neurodivergent kids already....

I will agree to your idea not for any practical reason, but because I miss the delicious "CHLUNK" of an old AT-Clone Computer.

Closest I got was with xfce. You can grab all the themes you need from xfce-look.

Would it make it better or worse if I told you it actually kinda-sorta worked?

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sounds promising enough, will take a look.

  • "Does my gaydar tell me anything about how to get back to civilisation?"
  • "Listen up, Poundland-Sundowner"
  • "So wait, I blew up the mayor's house and my punishment is I'm made into a college professor?"
  • "Now back to mare's milk"

God dammit Nintendo.

You're somehow great AND the actual worst and I fucking hate you for it.

And I know why it happens, but still. FUCKING HELL.
