I eat 90%-95% less candy than at my personal peak candy era, and while I do still like it a lot, it's WAY more intense to eat it now, so it feels to me that because I eat less of it, I'm satisfied with a smaller amount of it. Kind of useful to keep that caloric intake nice and low.
I also sometimes bake/roast/grill meats instead of opting for processed snacks and candy, but that still takes more time then just opening the bag (of chips/candy) and shoving it in my facehole.
I love this idea.
I don't think life is 'less pointless' if you procreate. It's both very pointless, except for personal fulfilment. What should it matter if you follow a path that evolution laid out before you. With consciousness, there is no more reason to consider that path in my eyes, just do what feels right.
Well I'd be glad to try your idea, it doesn't sound worse then what we have currently and the current state sucks old car tires.
If capitalism was not so psychotic, inhumane and bloodthirsty, I might agree. In the current world market? If you are worth more then double/triple what your average local family house is worth, I will probably hate their personality and what they stand for.
They'll still get the benefit of the doubt and I'll still engage, because everyone is their own person, but they are playing 3-0 behind and have lots to prove. There's a reason upper management is full of similar personality types.
The higher you fry and smoke, the holier the result, it's basic religious math!
Why even use releases? Everyone can build everything for themselves. 'Normal Users' are just lazy, everyone wants to know how every piece of software is built for their system, it's not like they have other stuff to do.
Majestic! And that telescope too, what a powerhouse!
Maybe the S.T.A.L.K.E.R franchise? OG and call of pripyat might be kind of old and thus have too much jank, but 2 just came out, and it promised to bring a similar vibe, and I LOVED that vibe.
There's also some boomer shooters that combine the Doom FPS style with a bit of roguelike, like : https://store.steampowered.com/app/1229490/ULTRAKILL/
True! het lijkt er zo voor mij ook meer op dat de huidige regelmakende ploeg misschien een beetje out of touch is met hun jongere verleden, niet perse 'vroegah was alles beter'. Ik vond als kind en nu als volwassene vuurwerk afsteken hartstikke leuk, maar blijkbaar ben ik in de minderheid :)
Mijn visie op bier, sigaretten en rijbewijzen mag dan niet exact overeenkomen met hoe we het hier regelen, ik ben wel blij dat we in een land met een hoop slimme regels leven.
Jammer hoor, ik ga het wel missen. Het was hier altijd een oorlogsgebied (qua vuurwerk explosies) in de twee maanden voor de jaarwisseling dus ik kan me voorstellen waar men vandaan komt, maar het georganiseerde vuurwerk is ook 4 jaar op rij geannuleerd door weersomstandigheden.. ik heb weinig hoop dat het vaak door kan gaan want het is meestal kutweer zo rond eind december. Het alternatief is dus ook best ruk. En dan is er stilte met de jaarwisseling, dat is wel een hele hoge prijs om hier voor te betalen in mijn ogen.
Ik vind het ook een beetje overkomen als de zure oude volwassenen die het vroeger allemaal zelf wel mochten afsteken, maar het nu wel een beetje te druk en onhandig vinden als al die vervelende kinderen te veel pret maken. "Fuck you, got mine" tegen de jongere generatie.
De vuurwerk bunkers die na de ramp in Enschede zijn gebouwd naar aanleiding van nieuwe eisen zijn nu ook allemaal erg dure bakstenen geworden. Krijgen ondernemers daar nog compensatie voor? Of is dat "fuck you, got mine" deel II?
Another month, another tiny grilling gif!

We went nature camping with this bad boy here:
we had spot 42!
But this time.... he's angry.
I'm a pretty patient gamer, but the hype for this update keeps building up. So many usefull new items and buildings, I'm gonna love those drying racks <3
Hey, I found this 'port' or 'socket' in my glove compartment. I checked the manual and parts list, but could not figure out what this should do. Fingers crossed that is a bulbsocket! Anyone know what this is??
Night one in the mall - it is very dark here, i brought my tent it will do for the time being. Its very scary hearing the dead roam the mall. Hopefully backup will arrive soon. In the mean time i'm going to clear some more. If anyone finds this note, I'm either dead or had to run and lick my wounds. Fuzz
Night two in the mall - I hooked up some speakers to a radio and played my favourite song to attract some zeds. It's quite eerie hearing the music echo in the hall, followed by the groans of the undead. I ready my shotgun and see the shells piled up in my bag, I should be able to rid a big group of them. Ironically the song is called "You're gone"... will this be my last stand off?
Night 3 and 4 at the mall - I was making great progress in the mall. It started to get quieter and I started to feel safe. Clearing it with that shotgun and ammo that I found was so satisfying. Thought it did nearly get me killed. My shotgun jammed just as I was going to kill a zombie at point blank range. Luckily I could hit the zombie in the face with it and distanced myself again.
While I was looting the BBQ store, I found the holy grail that we have been looking for quite some time. It's the magazine that teaches us how to use generators. In my enthusiasm I radioed back home, shouting with joy.
Ché, Anvi and Peet were chuffed and told me to rest there one more night. Come dawn they were going to head towards me and fetch me by car.
I was exhausted but exited to see my friends again so I went back to my tent. I made sure I barricaded the storage room I was camped in and put the shotgun next to my sleeping bag. I actually slept really well since the first time in ages.
The next day we all were chatting and laughing on the walkietalkies while they were heading to the mall. For the very first time in ages, I really felt alive. Anvi souped up one of the cars making him drive like a speed demon. It was funny but also nerve wrecking to hear him nearly kill himself while swerving out of the away from the zombies while racing the rest of the crew.
When they arrived the mood was still joyful. Perhaps I was too optimistic and gave them a false sense of security. We put the magazine and some supplies I gathered in the trunk of the car. We decided to do a quick look before we left. We all to separate parts of the mall trying to find some more valuable loot. It wasn't long before we could hear screaming and shouting coming from the south side of the mall. It was Anvi, he got boxed in on the escalator and was panicking and screaming for helm. I ran there as fast as I could, and readied my shotgun. Just as I walked around the corner I saw that my friend was being mauled and eaten by the undead. I was filled with rage and started to blast them. Perhaps I could still save him.
The zombies around him were dead, though not much was left of him. I couldn't bare the sight, so I turned around and tried to find the rest of my friends. I heard another groan and looked behind my shoulder. It was Anvi he was shambling towards me while almost tripping over his own intestines. I couldn't shoot him, even though he turned into a zed.
I started to run to my other friends and saw Che, he saw my grim look and didn't ask any questions. Just as we made eye contact we heard more screams of pain. Before we could react and figure out where he was they stopped. We eventually found his eaten corpse with his duffel bag just behind the counter with the popcorn machine. The zeds were no where to be seen.
We fled to the car and drove back to our base. We didn't say a word during this ride. I felt terrible and very guilty. It's because of me and my stupid idea of living in the mall, that my friends are gone. I shouldn't have stayed there for so long and shouldn't have said it was safe. I'm going to drink that bottle of bourbon I found and hopefully drown my sorrows. Tomorrow will be another day in this hell infested world and I cannot let it consume me too. "
The community seemed a bit low on content, so I rummaged through our private dedicated servers history to get some OG lemmy content up in here. A friend of mine wrote this when he was off solo. Hope you enjoyed!
Ooooh, very interesting! I float from preferred genre to preferred genre all the time, but I can't think of any one genre that really fell out of my grace like how you mention.
