myspace.com is still a thing so probably never. If by “die” you mean when will it become irrelevant then probably sooner.

This is why I say please and thank you when I use ChatGPT…

Liking the darkmode but my ADHD brain wishes they would let you scroll the calendar up and down rather than flip pages month to month.

Really fun little demo. Loved the ending :)

My Tesla desire journey has gone from feeling like I was chasing a magical unicorn from the future to not wanting to go anywhere near it. I am planning on buying a new car in the next couple of years and I’d love it to be an EV with good range and short charging times but I don’t think it will be a Tesla now.

Same :) I escaped during the big modwars exodus. First to Kbin, then when that dissapeared I found Mbin, and when that collapsed I found this Fedia server that seems stable so far. It’s a pain to have to make a new profile every time but it’s worth it to never have to go back to the evil eye.

I think the thing that’s the most confusing about this is why did they wait??

"The timing is particularly baffling: Nintendo did not strike when the iron was hot and everyone was talking about Palworld and Pokémon, and at this late date, why bother? The greatest heights of Palworld’s success were clearly driven by the memetic catchiness of its Pokémon parody, now it’s just another survival crafting game with a stable enough core community⁠—see also Valheim or Sons of the Forest. Palword has faded into the background, a brief curiosity overshadowed by 2024’s far more enduring megahit, Helldivers 2. Just in time for everyone to have largely forgotten about Palworld and moved on, Nintendo has swooped in to announce: “In case you’ve forgotten, they’re the little guy, and we are huge, awful bullies.”

Palworld has reportedly made nearly $500 million now (source - Simon Carless). Even if Nintendo win in some way won’t it cost them so much more to take Pocket Pair down now?

Thanks for that. I might give it another go. I have ADHD and I wonder if that also doesn’t help because remembering a lot of names and details is hard for me. My short term memory is really only reliable until I see any random shiny thing. I tried using the evidence board to track literally everything I saw but it quickly became way too ovewhelming. I’ll give it another go though I think.

I really, really wanted to like this game. I love the look and feel of it so much but I just needed a clearer bit of hand holding to figure out what I was supposed to do. It’s so open ended and I could never really tell if I was on the right track. I love the idea of crawling through vents, interrogating people, sneaking about and putting together pieces of evidence but it was just too overwhelming for me. I wish there was a guide that just explained simply how you’re supposed to play but I haven’t found one yet.

“how do you envision change happening?”

You’re so close to getting it…

I do wish we could have grown up discussions about climate change instead of this sort of thing. Governments and large industrial and commercial organisations are overwhelmingly more responsible for climate change than individuals like you and me. We individuals could not be more concerned about climate change already. Everyone wants to pollute less and live more sustainable lives. Our bins have multiplied and we learnt to comply with that. Plastic straws and bags went away and we learnt to comply with that. A lot of us are driving electric cars now or taking public transport and cycling wherever possible. Cities declared clean air zones so only the least polluting vehicles were allowed in them and we’re learning to comply with that. There’s all sorts of taxes on vehicles that pollute too and we’ve learnt to comply with that.

Meanwhile manufacturers pollute our rivers and skies and we’re all finding out how full of microplastics we are because of them too. How about that self righteous finger spending some more time pointing at them than at us eh? It’s just annoying how it’s always the end users who gets the blame for not doing enough about climate change.

And while I’m at it and no one is going to read this anyway how about someone with a brain actually spends some time on the branding side of “Climate Change”. It’s better than “Global Warming” because at least that reduced the amount of people denying there’s a problem every flipping winter but it’s still dumb. If you want people to understand the urgency of something you have to convey it in the language you use. Called it “Planet Cancer” or “Climate Apocalypse” or “Earth Burn”. Anything would be better than “Climate Change” which conveys about as much urgency as a hedge that needs trimming at some point.

(Edit: Looking at the guidelines for this magazine I can see how this post may be a little too negative. If it is I totally understand it getting removed.)

I love this too and would especially love it if there was a good tram game I could play. It seems like everyone who’s tried making one so far has not made anything worth playing. I keep looking out for a good one but so far with very dissapointing results.

Trump claiming he won regardless and trying to create as much trouble as possible is the most likely election outcome. I’m not getting my hopes up until President Kamala Harris is in the Whitehouse having a nice cup of tea. In fact after the last few years I’m not getting my hopes up about anything ever again unless there’s absolute proof that it’s real.

I’m always in awe of people who can draw :) I love that AI gave me a way to experiment that I never would have otherwise. I have other gifts mind you but sadly drawing isn’t one of them.

Well I can’t draw is the issue. I used Copilot to make the panels and then fiddled around with them to make the cartoon. That’s why it’s not signed cos I’m not trying to say I’m clever or anything lol. It was just a cool experiment that helped me explore some ADHD related ideas.

The one I can’t stop doing is “THe”. It drives me up the wall.

To be honest, I hadn’t even noticed that I was commenting in the “Fuck Cars” group cos I just responded to something that popped up in my feed. I’m not about trying to be disruptive in someone else’s house. I was going for humor more than anything. Sorry.

You mean you CAN smash on a bus?? Outstanding :)

Walking: Can’t cover large distances quickly. Not sure why that’s even included in this?

Bus: Pollution source whether it carries passengers or not. No service in rural areas. 1 crash = 69 people injured. Pathogen hotbox. You can’t smash in one.

Bicycle: 1 thunderstorm = misery. Limited range and can’t travel on motorways/freeways.

Car: Only pollutes when you use it. Goes anywhere you want 24/7/365. You can definitely smash in one. Carries big things like a trolley full of groceries or IKEA furniture.

E-Cars etc.: All the benefits of the car plus no pollution. Huge smugness boost.

The optimist in me says yay 🎉, but the cynic in me worries that this is just Labour shaking a potential carrot at us just before announcing what is reportedly about to be the most savage tax hiking budget in recent history. They were originally going to do it in a couple of weeks on the 13th of Sept but recently pushed the announcement back to the 30th of October just before Halloween.

It feels like they know it’s going to piss everyone off, so they want more time to promise some sunshine 🌞 and rainbows 🌈 stuff first. Also, reading through that article it already sounds like there’s going to be plenty of wiggle room for businesses to make sure they get their pound of flesh by squeezing 5 day into 4 from workers or outright use the “not reasonably feasible” exemption if the definitions are vague in any way.

I hope I’m wrong, but ironically it’s the last few years of Labour really ramping up how aggressively they picked apart everything the Tories were doing that’s made me so cynical of all politicians. 🤨
