Researchers always make some of the worst coders unfortunately.

Scientists, pair up with an engineer to implement your code. You'll thank yourself later.

absolutely true lol

Music was always the one for me. I couldn't listen to that music or this music because "That's gay bro". It didn't matter that I listened to a large variety, it was instilled in me that some music is okay, other stuff is not.

One of my earliest memories was being into Britney Spears. I was young, 10 or so. Dad was never home and I learned to like my own music on my own time without him, and I liked her music. My memory is that I was listening to it in the car, my CD of hers, and then I remember mom and dad arguing, and I don't remember ever seeing that CD again. My mom confirmed when I was an adult that dad threw it out because he didn't want me to listen to her. Did he share any of his music with me as an alternative? No of course not, I just couldn't listen to that.

Now as an adult I've fully embraced it. I love me Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Queen, and other "manly" bands (Yes I know, I chuckle too at Queen), but I'm also an avid Swifty (I even mod !taylorswift@poptalk.scrubbles.tech ) because sometimes you just want a song that feels a bit happier, and I even took my wife to the Eras tour. I love Olivia Rodrigo because damn if we don't all have some teenage angst sometimes, and I've gone back a bit to Britney too - but not as much.

What a shame that people think that art should be subject to what they think the world is like. There is room to like many different things. Enjoying one thing doesn't mean you dislike another thing. People can like many different things. I can enjoy A24 films while also laughing at Wil Farrell movies. None of that means that I'm this or that - humans are complex and like what we like. Thanks for reading this far :)

The game only officially released last year, everything before was Early Access, so yes it did release with the game.

I don't think you're wrong for disliking it, but you're oddly hostile to it. Just say it's not for you. Everyone else in this thread is mostly just saying how they disliked game A or game B. You don't have to like every game. You don't need to understand why others don't enjoy it, you just don't, and that's okay.

I personally like it's pacing, how it adds functionality, and how it takes over over time. I personally dislike Factorio - I find it tedious and repetitive. Tried it a few times, just can't get into it. But hey, that's okay, and so is not liking Satisfactory. We don't need to shit on each other because we have different opinions.

It does actually have priority splitters and mergers

They ran off even their most loyal players one by one with their asinine moves. Lame games, vendor lockin, nickle and dining.

I was die hard for Xbox. Had every one, dozens of games, more probably. Have fond memories of lan parties and friends coming over to play split screen. I remember playing through halo 3 the night it dropped into the early morning, and getting the beta from Reach.

Then they killed off split screen. And lan gaming. You had to use Xbox live to play with your friend in the room. Oh no they don't have Xbox live. Oh no there's an update. Now they don't have their password. They can't join my party. The audio doesn't work. It became a hassle to play with people

Steam just works. And it's a fair price

Ah damn. My brain blocked that out

oh god yeah I did completely forget that, and you're right the trailer just kinda says it outright. I guess we don't get the "mystery" of discovering how it happened... can't trust the viewer that much...

Honestly, if anyone could bring it back it'd be her, and I'm glad they're finally dropping "world", all the jurassic worlds sucked. It needed something new if it'd continue.

I've read the book so don't worry, throw a spoil tag I'm curious to see what you saw that was even later. I didn't notice anything else... huge

Right? It's the perfect surprise, that's why the book keeps it under wraps. They basically spoiled the whole movie right there.

Shocking that the less regulation the more people get hurt

Good to see physical music sales are a huge part of it too. Streaming is great, but I like owning my music

 

Hey HipHopHeads, I've been working on getting an instance up and running for those specific PopHeads communities.

If you are a fan of any specific artist that doesn't have a community yet, my instance is open to create one. While I designed it to be specific for popheads, I hope it someday becomes in instance for all music lovers!

Or if you just want to hang out and talk about Taylor Swift or Britney Spears, I welcome that too :)

Already subscribed here, and if you're okay with it I'd like to put HipHopHeads on my sidebar to help people who join mine directly.

Loving Lemmy so far!

 

Hey all, ex-Iowan here. How's Davenport doing? It's been all over the news, anyone local there know how people are dealing with it?

 

I title it "Morning over the swamp". Just waiting on the manifolds to fill

Hey everyone!

Full acknowledgement, I'm a pophead. Better or worse, it's who I am. I love Zeppelin, I've seen live Pink Floyd, Foreigner, The Who, even Van Halen (not Van Hagar), but at the end of the day, I do love me some Taylor Swift.

So, I put my love of pop music and homelabbing together and here we are, https://poptalk.scrubbles.tech/. The post here explains why, but the pop community on Reddit has always been a fun one for me, and I want to make sure if there is a mass exodus of people out of there they have a place to land.

I'm currently leaving community creation open right now, I would like to officially welcome other popheads, BTS stans, swifties, Jepsies, Angels, whatever to the PopTalk server, a place to talk about pop music. (or any other band communities you may want to create).

I know it may not be for everyone, but for those few who love a good hype thread, I hope you enjoy it.
