I don’t notice normal LEDs generally.

But anything moving in front of Christmas lights gives me a giant headache. It’s incredibly obvious.

It’s the same for the wallpaper; just not visible really. But it bounces between a variety of my other pictures, too.

The fact that 99% of LED Christmas lights are mini strobe lights.

Yeah, I never really have anything I want for gifts because it’s either way over the top and not something I’m going to have someone buy for me, or it’s reasonably cheap and I just buy it way before anything anyone would give me a gift for.

But I’ve been buying myself a bunch of books lately, including some of the nice versions of Brandon Sanderson books. They’re expensive enough that I can’t just buy them all. I got a signed leatherbound copy of Elantris for Christmas.

IDK. Goodreads said I’m in their top 1% for the year lol, and I only track the books I haven’t read before.

Not a game, but I don’t look at game high scores and other people are doing random stuff too.

I’m not talking about the amount.

I’m saying they’re much less predictable, so nonsense like having obvious signs saying “don’t be stupid” can affect their ruling regardless of how necessary it should be.

Lawsuits often go in front of juries.

Civil juries do whatever the hell they want.

Every step a company takes to make sure that a reasonable customer will avoid hurting themselves makes it more likely a jury will blame an unreasonable one who hurts themselves being unreasonable.

Astro’s playroom comes with it, but there’s also a full game.

The plucky squire is a really cool concept of a game that I enjoyed as an adult, but is written and presented like a story book (you literally jump out of the book and manipulate pages for some stuff), and it’s definitely appropriate for kids both in terms of complexity and the writing.

If nothing else, because corporations use it incredibly effectively to tailor behavior manipulation to you personally.

If you’re going to allow it, you might as well just allow it.

Or, don’t.

But opt out sounds like an insane headache for everyone involved.

You’re missing the point. Meme isn’t something you gatekeep. It’s simply a term for any arbitrary amount of idea. Everything is a meme.

Your argument is like saying “nothing has mass if you call everything mass”.

Literally any shared idea is a meme.

We have an actual original definition to refer to. It’s Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene, and it’s very comparable to general “message” in information theory. “Internet memes” fit into his definition exactly.

Also the original (and more useful) definition is “a gene, but for ideas”. This is an idea that more people should consider, so it qualifies anyways.

Yep, documentation and a good base level default installation configuration/guide with minimal friction.

I’m perfectly willing to play around once I know at the basic level that the core flow is going to work for me. If it takes me digging through a stack of documentation (especially if it’s bad) to even get something to experiment with on my own system? I won’t bother.

They’re complaining that it doesn’t do fake GaaS treadmill bullshit.🤷🏼‍♀️

There’s no reason for the rest of the generation. It will just kill sales for those games. The “series” consoles are a completely lost cause.

If they want exclusives as a strategy, it needs to be at launch of the next generation. Until then even short timed exclusives just cost them money.

Yeah, I really have no particular interest in taking my birthday off.

Completely, because without privacy you’d be functionally guaranteed a civil war.

Reality is nuanced; labels aren’t.

It kind of sounds like a 3 player rogue lite.

Jesus. I thought it was for recording, at least.
