3·2 days agoYs 1 & 2. I love the Ys games. But I really only play VI through X. There are remakes of some of the other older ones for the PSP and Vita, I have played through those, too. They are very well done, IMO. But I cannot get into the first two. The mechanics are just too weird. I have the remastered for the DS, I am going to give it a try again, but I’m pretty sure it is largely just visual changes and I am still going to hate it.
That’s a shame. I think I’ve been talking at my coworkers more without those spaces, probably more than they are interested. But yeah, the empty communities here are just like yelling into the void.
I miss the thriving, active subreddits for fountain pens, watches, and calculators. I tried being the change I wanted to see in a watch community, but after about a week of being the only poster, It just kinda felt like I was just showing off my watch collection. Fountain pens is a bit more active, at a few posts per month. Forget about calculators.

1·8 days agoI have 3 luxury watches. I’m not rich, it took quite a while to pay off each. That’s probably all, those were the only 3 I ever really wanted. I bought them because I like watches, nobody else I know cares about them at all. The ones i picked have interesting movements or history. I didn’t get them specifically for their brands. None are Rolex. I would say the biggest difference is not just the materials, it is the quality and tolerances of the machining. The surface finishes.
I like to build and mod watches. I have quite a few made with Seiko movements and aftermarket parts. Some are pretty nice, and I never thought there would be much of a difference between a $400 Seiko and a luxury watch. Until I held my Tudor for the first time. The bracelet has almost no play to it between the links. My Seikos feel sloppy by comparison. The brushed surfaces feel almost soft, they are so smooth. I find myself just rubbing it sometimes. The clasp has little ceramic balls for the detent, and they are very smooth to operate. Wearing it is an excellent tactile experience. Like a fidget toy. It’s also the watch I wore during my daughter’s birth, and that is primarily what I think of when I wear it.
But yeah, long story short they do feel different. I bet there are a ton of people that only buy them as status symbols, though.

2·8 days agoI got a question about you morticians. You bang the dead bodies? I imagine stuff like that goes on all the time. I mean I don’t give a shit. If I was dead you could bang me all you want. I mean who cares? A dead body is like a piece of trash. I mean shove as much shit in there as you want. Fill me up with cream,make a stew out of my ass. What’s the big deal? Bang me, eat me, grind me up into little pieces, throw me in the river. Who gives a shit? You’re dead, you’re dead! Oh Shit! Is my mic on?

2·9 days ago960?? Wow. Aside from that being incredibly insulting to the audience, I would never admit that. I’d take that to my grave. That’s just embarrassing. Looking at some equivalency charts, that’s like an 18 on the ACT. I would be re-taking that shit immediately. It really is just idiots and assholes the whole way up the chain.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Yes this year is going to be really good and productiveEnglish
9·15 days agoOh gosh, i did that a couple years ago. We had some people leave, including my manager. I was a lead engineer. I was also leaving, I was promised a position at a 27% increase in salary. But it is a big, international company and their HR was painfully slow at getting me an offer letter. It ended up being 3 weeks from interview to offer. In that time, I just had to sit through several rounds of meetings with the COO, restructuring our group. I was a pivotal part of this plan. Finally, he had the plan finalized. And I got my letter. Handed in my two weeks the same day. No regrets. Love the new place.
Also, that COO wad not an insignificant factor in people leaving.
They aren’t my sunglasses, they are my regular glasses.

Take off my glasses. Put on my safety glasses. Don’t care if those break, the company paid for them.
No Oakleys, can’t do it. Not that I give a shit about brands, I just love how comfortable the Airdrops are. No nose pads, straight bows that grip to my bald head instead of uncomfortably wrapping behind my ears. Crazy lightweight.
Awesome! Love your period hardware. I have a complete XP setup, but I would love a 95/98 setup. No more room.
I did install 86Box last week, though! And installed 98SE. I was also partying like it’s 1996 with Microsoft Hellbender!

Nah. Once you have a good, strong base it turns into a cozy survival game. Make a fort, decorate it with skull lamps and nice furniture. Go out, kill some mutants and dry their limbs for dinner. Plant some blueberries.












It also reminds me if I have left it on!
