We working at the same place are we?

My company will start to give reminders 5 minutes beyond their arbitrary ‘deadline’, but will take months and months and months to sign off on a promotion…

Okay… Want to elaborate on that?

2007 MSN was still very popular for high school students here in Australia

Actual discussion is still possible in the Fediverse, at least for now.

Somewhat recently I was talking to a close friend about their brother and how he has been acting, particularly how he approaches discussions with those around him. My friend was telling me about a discussion they were having, and the only response his brother could give him was “you are uneducated and misinformed”, but couldn’t actually formulate an argument to back up his side. I physically laughed when he told me this and jokingly responded that he “sounds like a standard Reddit user”, my friend paused for a second, chuckled, then replied “he basically lives on that site”.

I’m yet to have this kind of online interaction on the Fediverse, and that is nice ☺️

“Bullshit I missed that parry! These fucking devs”

The Nintendo Wii.

Like so many, I fell to the marketing hype. Was completely bored of the thing after like a week. Where it was definitely some peoples cup of tea, it was most certainly not mine

Have you tried either Summit or Blorp?

Summit is my favourite pick, but Blorp is fantastic and was that for Lemmy for quite a while before switching. Summit feels a bit more modern and clean to me.

I have very fond memories of this game also. And your post made me realise this is another title that I’m missing from my collection… damn

I just made an account on Bookwyrm last week but I’m kind of confused with it. Is it just basically public reviewing of books you’ve read/reading?

They are very clearly “a 40 year old traveling nurses who is a lesbian”

With the added shipping and tax on bringing it into the country, plus postal insurance on an international package like that. Really not worth the time, money and downsides compared to just buying local

It’s already ridiculously expensive for what it is. $700 in store here in Australia

I saw this video show up as well, and it got me thinking what are mine?

I tend to do tonnes of research before buying any tech. But potentially it would be my TP-Link BE6500 WiFi 7 router. Like it works amazingly well, and it solved all of the routing and bandwidth issues with streaming and gaming on WiFi, however I don’t think it was worth the price or headache getting it working.

Otherwise, not sure if we’re regarding this as tech, but I purchased the Illumi Classic IPL device a few months ago. I made the wrong decision here, I should have spent the extra and picked up the Illumi Pro instead.

Not sure of local pricing in your area, but would a ThinkPad T480 or T490 be within budget? The AMD version (I think it might be the T495, someone correct me if I’m wrong) would be my pick personally.

I think it has to depend on a person by person basis. For example, I have to be left for me to figure it out, if anyone else tries to get involved then I guarantee I will be burnt out after a day and then just give up for a while.

Others may benefit from the help and guidance, but not all of us unfortunately 😔

I’ve gone up and down throughout my life, and these days I am quite an awkward individual in person.

However, what worked for me in my early 20s when I was probably at my most sociable was finding a hobby to interact with people in. Even something as simple as a monthly book group can work wonders on your social skills

Timber and truckers is what I was originally taught. I remember it taking a while to get the truckers hitch down then out of no where it was like ‘snap’, had it ever since lol

For that device I personally would focus more on SNES and GameBoy gaming (up to Advance), so I’ll just mention a couple of my favourites.

SNES:

• Chrono Trigger > One of the best JRPGs ever. If never played before, well worth giving this a try.
• Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars > Sooo much fun, easy to burn hours.

GameBoy:

• Pokemon Red/Blue/Green > Original Pokemon series, if you love it you love it.
• Pokemon Yellow > The Special Pikachu Edition has Pikachu following you around, its cute, and the one I would recommend personally out of the originals.
• WarioLand 2 > One of my favourite platformers on the GB.
• GameBoy Gallery 2 > Contains old Game and Watch games but with a (at the time) modern take on them + the original versions. I’ve wasted hours beyond hours playing modern Fire.

GameBoy Color:

• Pokemon Gold/Silver > It’s Pokemon lol
• Swiv > Kind of forgotten title, but really fun scrolling shooter (I think this the best way to describe it)

GameBoy Advance:

• Pokemon Fire Red > An updated version of the original Pokemon Red. If it’s your first time playing any of the originals, I would say try this one as it feels more modern to play due to the updated pixel art.

gamedate.org really deserves to be promoted around gaming communities way more than it currently is!

So many older but still online shooters could be somewhat revived (even if only briefly), would love to play some Day of Infamy with a full server again!!

Ooo I’ll grab a pair of the ballet flats in the top right pleeease ☺️
