I make things with computers. Preferably artsy things, but I also like to work on random scripts and pipelines. I like D&D & video games, but don’t always have time to play them. I like pet chicken. I watch soccer, especially NWSL & USWNT, as well as some WSL and whatever happens to be on.

[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by...

This is really easy to test in fairly small social groups. The next time you’re in a group ordering pizza, say you want cheese, because you don’t eat meat. Now watch everyone else order, or change their order to, double meat supreme with bacon. It’s almost like they can’t help themselves. It’s hilarious how easy you can change other people’s behavior.

Loophole: any time insurance agents show up to assess the situation, shot them.

What animated film or tv show is this? (i.imgur.com)

For me the first thing that comes to mind is Tales from Earthsea. I don’t think it’s excellent or anything and has plenty of problems but people act like it killed their dog. While it has its problems that have been covered extensively, I think it has a beautiful atmosphere and art....

We LOVED this film, and even convinced our local cinema to have a sing along one night.

The first time we watched it we had to leave the cinema early due to a tornado warning. But we were so pleasantly surprised by what we saw (expected trash after those awful trailers) that we went again. And then again.

This was The Emoji Movie for my kids. I refused to watch it because of obvious reasons, but they insisted and totally liked it. I finally gave it a watch and… It was totally fine. Pleasant at times, even.

I don’t have a link, but I think they are finding that it only affects some people with certain genetic makers. That might be a large number, but I wasn’t included 🫤, so when I tried it, it did a whole lot of nothing for me. I hope it works for you though!

Don’t fret, you’ll get to suffer the side effects right away.

Pretty good. Switched to Latuda after some issues with Seroquel. I usually have strong reactions to any medication, but this time, nothing. To the point where I thought my psych maybe prescribed a placebo. Can they do that? 😂

It’s a very low dose, but seems to keep me mostly stable. Very hopeful that I finally found what works for me.

I read this to my kids a few years ago, and while super weird, it’s also super racist, in the “Chinese say ching chong, haha” kind of way, and it does it with just about any race, culture, and stereotype you can think of (since they take over a space station and it becomes an international incident).

The Note 9 was the perfect phone. Hold onto it for as long as it will run! I got a Pixel 7 Pro after mine died. It was a real downgrade. Got the s24 Ultra this year, and it’s actually quite nice. Probably the closest thing to the Note 9 these days.

Galaxy S24 Ultra. I got really pissed off at the Pixel 7 Pro and bought this on a (very costly) whim. But this is the first phone I really like since the Note 9. The screen is gorgeous. The software is better than stock android on the Pixel. And it can actually make phone calls!

Stupid question, but why not just target more immigration? It’s not like there aren’t enough people in the world. Having babies first taxes the economy, then eventually helps it. Letting immigrants in now helps now. And they’ll probably have babies.

Huh, I can’t think of a single time I’ve accidentally bitten a fork or spoon. I can’t even think of a way that it would happen. Now I’m curious if this happens to others?

Silkie!

What game do you recommend someone who likes the mechanics but not the setting of Baldur's Gate 3?

I saw people going on about how great BG3 is on this site, so I thought I’d check out a let’s play to see what all the fuss was about. I immediately fell in love with the graphics and the mechanics, such as the classes, races, spells, dice etc, but I disliked the emphasis on gore/horror in the game, and I know I wouldn’t...

Marvel’s Midnight Suns has similar top notch graphics, and somewhat similar mechanics, but with deck building added. I don’t remember if there’s a class system.

If you like the d&d mechanics, check out Solasta, which I like a million times better than BG3. The graphics aren’t as good, but it’s also not as gore/horror focused.

Against the Storm. Picked it up way back in early access and kind of thought it sucked. Saw some people talk about it recently and decided to give it another go, and it doesn’t suck anymore! I suck at it, having lost every round, but I keep going back in, so I guess I like it now.

I was going to get this, but then read that the new DRM made it unplayable on deck. Is that not true?

I love d&d and hated the combat in BG3. They made it all flashy and loud, but lost everything that makes D&D combat fun for me.

Brotato. I mean, it’s cheap, so not a huge regret, but I really thought I would like it, but only ended up playing it twice .
