  • WoW just fucked everything for me. It was never worth the time to learn about an area, because you’re already past most of its content and getting to the next one by the time you sneezed from the book dust.

    WoW has been getting worse and worse at this in the later levels after the scaling rework, BUT if you start a new character, then anything that’s not the most current expansion, you can start doing the content from a lower level and actually take your time through… Well probably one expansion’s story lol

    So if you go to Northrend or Pandaria or whereever at level 10, you have plenty of time because you can keep doing these zones till you’re level 60 or 70 or something and only then do you actually HAVE to move to the newest region to keep leveling up.

    Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor of course are so big that you’re going to have to do multiple characters to get all the storylines done without doing some at max lvl.


  • This sounds like the best advice here tbh.

    At this point OP is probably conditioned to be tired when home, because they’re always tired when home. Gotta get those sweet activities in, THEN go home and sleep. Meal prepping might help so there’s no need to go home to cook dinner, but I’m not a well-adjusted enough adult for that, I’d just try to find a healthy meal outside, or do OMAD or something.


  • Food is free, but farming takes effort and resources (such as fertilizers and tools) and acquiring the resources also takes effort and resources and…

    At the end of the day, we all just want to get more out of our time than what we’d get by doing everything ourselves. And the capitalists of course get the most out of their time, if they even actually spend their time doing anything productive. Many don’t



  • Friendly reminder to all Americans that while a year and some weeks ago was a really bad time to challenge the Democratic party establishment (because in the case of Harris vs Trump, Harris would’ve been preferable, but that went to shit anyway), now is an excellent time to challenge the Democratic party. Vote 3rd party in local elections and even midterms, primary every god damn old guard Dem you can find, and make sure that the entire party knows how disappointed their constituents are and why.

    Maybe it’ll work, or maybe democracy is too far gone in the US. But in the years between presidential elections is the only really good time to challenge the party.

    Either way the world is watching because for a bunch of shitty reasons the entire world is dependent on the US in a lot of ways.




  • It’s supposed to be a console. You connect it to your TV and it more or less just works. Like a PS5 or Series X, except it has more games. The entire thing consumes about half the power of just my low-end graphics card from a few years ago (3060 ti). These CPUs also aren’t available as socketed versions, nor would it be a good idea because then a user might use a chip that generates too much heat compared to the design here.

    This ISN’T meant to compete with a PC. If you already have a gaming PC, you don’t want a Steam Machine. If you have a current gen console, you probably don’t want a Steam Machine.

    There’s a lot of speculation as to the price. If any of the guesses from various outlets end up being true, it could be less than $500 and potentially less than $400, while there have been hints at the next generation of Xbox costing $1000. But this is all speculation.

    Basically, it’s a way to get into gaming with a console-like experience, a low price, and the ability to keep your game library when you evolve into a “real” PC gamer. Honestly, if my kid was old enough to get into gaming, I’d consider one. Genius move from Valve targeting specifically a market previously untapped by them - not us folks who already buy our games on Steam.


  • While we have problems here in Europe and they’re concerning, the US really has this shit on a whole 'nother level. The NSA more or less has ALL the data that enters or exits the country and probably most of what goes around public networks (so just about any ISP) within the country. Your Lemmy instance is hosted in France and from your comment I infer that you’re American (so likely situated in the US), so most likely the communication between you and the instance is all recorded and stored at 33 Thomas Street. They’re just storing everything so they can decrypt it if quantum computing breaks existing algorithms. Then there’s all the tooling the CIA and NSA have built to spy on everyone who has any even somewhat insecure smart device.

    Denmark is trying to legislate all this into happening, the US just ignores legislation when something actually disagrees with their spying
