I prefer Squiggy

My vision didn’t start going downhill until my 40’s. I am also very sensitive about my eyes to the point I can barely even put drops in. So I have resigned myself to the fact that I will be a glasses wearer from here on out.

This is a great quote. I may have to borrow it.

Also Firewatch. I wish I could go back and play that game for the first time.

Two: my main on Lemmy.one and another on Reddthat.com which was the first account I created. I also have a kbin.social account. Really hedging my bets.

I’ve been using Connect for the last few days and so far really enjoy it. it’s still missing a few features but I really like the UI.

I hope not. I’m almost 50. But I’m not in the dating pool. I feel for anyone trying to date at our age. Better to be who you are though.

Seems like they have plenty of money to spend on THESE enhancements.

The first book has an overarching story, but it is the tales that the pilgrims tell each other that really stand out. They are basically like little novellas within the main narrative and can almost be taken as stand-alone. The two tales I mentioned (Priest and Scholar) were the two that really stood out to me, but they are all interesting. I re-read those two tales specifically every few years.

The overall universe that Simmons depicts in the story is also amazing. The second book (Fall of Hyperion) focuses more on the overall narrative but shows how the tales have some commonality. The key plot device behind the Priest’s tale also sets up the narrative for the sequel books (Endymion and Rise of Endymion).

The one I think about most often is Hyperion, by Dan Simmons. Specifically the Priest’s tale and the Scholar’s tale.

Well said

Sorry for your loss, but what a fabulous way to go out! Bravo!

I’ve been hooked on Knighthood recently. It’s a fun little RPG with simple mechanics. It is also in portrait mode so it’s perfect for one handed play.

Prior to that, I had primarily been playing Archero which is another very fun portrait RPG.

Although I primarily play it on PC, I love that I can also play Albion Online on mobile, especially for some of the mundane farming and auction house tasks.

Other than that, I mostly stick to puzzle games like Woodoku, Wordscapes, Tents & Trees, and Grids of Thermometer.

Maybe it’s nothing, but Reddit seems particularly sensitive towards kbin.

I guess I’m glad I picked Lemmy.one – the Switzerland of US-bases Lemmy instances :)

LOL it looks like you’re right. Oh well. Maybe a poweruser could use some of these extensions :D

I use Brave. My most used extensions are:

• Awesome Screenshot - takes partial and full browser window screenshots. It can also record screens. It looks like they’ve added “ChatGPT” into the name for some reason.
• Bitwarden - password manager
• VisBug - allows you to view webpage styles and tinker with the layout of live webpages.
• Homey - a replacement for the default New Tab, which includes beautiful live wall papers and convenient access to bookmarks and other widgets.

Is this just the PWA (progressive web app)? If so, just FYI it’s not a true native app – more like a downloadable version of the normal webapp that you can pin and run like it is a app. I installed it as well (for my kbin account) and it works well enough as a good stop-gap.

This is why I still cling to my trusty Samsung S10. Still has a headphone jack for my IEMs and a heart rate monitor.

Very well said. I agree – it’s not charging for the API that’s the issue, although that is what the media usually reports. It’s the ridiculous price, the poor timing, lack of parity in their own tools, refusal to negotiate, and their dismissive attitude towards everyone.
