Believe it or not but I’m normally a visual novel / puzzle / sim gamer… Stuff like Stardew Valley, The Return of the Obra Dinn, Omori, Slay the Princess, etc. But I was getting a bit bored of playing the same genre over and over, so I’m like, y’know what fuck it, Doom was good 20 years ago it’s probably still good today. Try new things. Maybe I’ll play the Bluey videogame next
Yeah most likely. But honestly I think I’ve had my fill with this type of game. I enjoyed my 16 hour campaign but I’m not sure I’ll buy the DLC or other entities. It’s not my primary genre by a long shot so it was a bit of a “oh it’s hugely discounted? I’ll buy this and play it 4 years later” kind of thing
I liked the veggie burger when it existed. But nowadays any burger you get will look like it was prepared with a blindfold and briefly sat on. Like imagine a dry patty on a flat greasy bun, decorated with a single pickle, and spattered with cum mayonnaise.
Back when I was younger and willing to inflict fast food on my digestive system, I went to Carl’s Jr if I did want a burger. Similar price and actually a decent meal. Plus the chicken nuggets are star shaped and the kids loved that. I’m curious if there’s a similar experience in the states? All I know is if I visit North America I want to try an “In & Out Burger”, I’ve heard they’re good.

It’s just corporate doublespeak messing with your head. The normal person translation is:
oh fuck something might have happened. But we don’t want shareholders to panic. Uhh, so everyone, please pretend everything is fine.
It’s extraordinarily cheaper to produce, and it kills the second hand game market. Both of which have been thorns in the side of AAA gaming companies for decades. Nobody else had the balls to force online only games (partially due to EU laws). A few tried (I forget the specifics), but they got smacked down and reconsidered. Everyone’s watching to see if this works, and if it does, brick and mortar game stores will go the way of the DVD rental.
I wonder if Google Translate is using A.I. behind the hood now? I see no other reason that would cause fluctuating results
Yes monogamous people would probably be offended. Think of it this way; to monogamous people, polyamory is functionally cheating, so you’re indirectly accusing them of being a cheater with your question. It’s not my fault, this is just the reality.
The solution is so extremely simple you’ll laugh. Instead of asking if they’re poly, ask people if they’re monogamous. Other monogamous people will be like, yeah of course aren’t you? Poly people will say no without being offended.
My ex went to McDonald’s when we went traveling overseas (yes really), so I can say I’ve (unfortunately) had McDonald’s in Australia, Paris, Hong Kong, and Japan.
Australia was the worst. Paris and Hong Kong were ok, but the menu was weird. Japan was actually good. Though… maybe it was skill issue, but the menu was completely impossible. So I ended up just begging the cashier for a ham-bo-ga, please God just any hamboga I’m so hungry.

I actually didn’t play the 2016 one lol. My timeline was like:
It feels much more like the original Doom in an arcadey level based kill everything way, while Doom 3 felt like a horror game to me. I really liked it, though having to make a Bethesda account to play it and waiting to log in every time pissed me off. The game itself was great. High adrenaline. Jumping around the map killing everything brutally. Too hard for my old man reflexes though, so I played on easy mode.
My favourite part is when your style or the auto formatter changes over time and you have to decide between:
Plus it doesn’t fix the problem of auto formatters writing ugly code. You can’t easily tell the auto formatter that early returns can be bracketless for brevity, but nothing else can be. Unless you add a comment like \\ ignore-rule-2753674 which makes me want to throw up
Oh that’s interesting. Maybe I’ll try a dietician instead, I just assumed doctors know all about diabetes stuff…
What happened with Keto was, I felt like I was eating too much fat per day. I felt greasy and horrible and disgusting and heavy, and my LDL cholesterol went even worse (6.3–7.8).
I tried fixing it by eating mostly protein and low fat instead, but considering I can’t eat much volume per day, that just ended up with me eating almost nothing and things went real bad from there. I couldn’t get out of bed for days at a time levels of fatigue. So I slowly added back in wholemeal carbs and some fat, and at least now I know what types of carbs cause spikes.
The reason I can’t eat much is I have erosion in my esophagus, stomach, and intestines from GERD acid reflux (confirmed via endoscopy). I’ve been on strong acid suppressants for a while but it seems like the “damage is done” so to speak from decades of acid splashing all over the place, and it’s not healing. At least I don’t wake up with a melting throat anymore so I’ll take that.
I’m on statins recently to try and reduce my LDL. The first type I tried gave me severe full body cramps so hopefully this type is better. And this is only a small part of my medical problems. Before we get into POTS, CFS, hEDS, MCAS, chronic migraines, arthritis, hormone problems, heart problems, neuropathy… I always forget most of my issues as well I can’t keep track of them all. I take more than 10 pills per day to manage all that.
I just accepted I’m going to die sometime soon based on this trajectory.
I’ve been trying to increase my walking per day because I heard walking is a great way to reduce diabetes and heart attack risk. I’m up to 15 minutes walk per day and some sneaky resistance training, which knocks me out for the rest of the day, but it makes me feel like I’m doing something at least.
Basically my body is failing in a million different ways at once at this point. If I only had one problem it would be easy to fix, but everything interacts and compounds the issue. Thanks for listening and trying to help by the way, you’re a kind person.

Yep ensure was the one. I wasn’t sure if it was available internationally so I didn’t put name brand in there.
hyper tension, fatty liver, visceral obesity, excess adiposity, snoring
Yeah I have all those problems lol. I actually did use a CGM and the most concerning thing noted was I was going into high 2’s and low 3’s blood sugar. Normal range is 4–7 so I was hypoglycemic for a big part of every day.
It turns out I was massively undereating for a long time and slowly starving to death, somehow without losing weight as well. When I brought it up in the past doctors were like, well you’re not massively losing weight so you’re fine. But I was measuring my calories and only getting 800–1400 on a good day, when my maintenance was meant to be 2400.
My doctor told me to stop starving to death as a top priority, but due to various other medical issues I physically can’t eat enough food per day. It got really confusing so now I’m using Ensure even though it’s not ideal for prediabetes (I can see it on the graph). All the doctors I’ve seen have mostly just been confused and not really sure how to help me. My disability makes it impossible to exercise enough per day.
My body seems mostly ok with my current diet of whole meal stuff, but any sugar or refined carbs really fucked me up and made me very unwell. So I’m definitely avoiding all sugar like the plague. I did keto for a while but it wasn’t sustainable for me long term. So wholemeal is my compromise.
Overall a shitty situation, not much can be done to help me it seems.
It feels like social media to me. It has upvotes, replies, notifications, comments, a feed… If it’s not a social media then neither is Reddit, and at that point the word stops being meaningful. Look right now we’re even arguing about semantics just like any good social media
This might sound completely random, but completely cutting sugar from my life. For my entire life my sleep has been bad. Couldn’t sleep at night properly at all. Then one day I tried Keto and within 1 week my sleep became normal and healthy. I didn’t keep doing keto for long because it wasn’t sustainable for me personally, but I kept the 0 sugar rule and it’s been great. Sleeping like a baby adult.
Does that make Lemmy an underground black market? 🤔
Reading the comments mine might be the weirdest…
One of:
I have prediabetes along with a dozen other health conditions lol
I remember playing original Skyrim and the horse carriage getting stuck at the gates. I restart. The carriage suddenly flips up into the sky like it hit a landmine. Restart. The whole I’m like why can’t I please just get off the carriage and run off into the wilderness lol. Like Fallout NV did it the best. Just yep thanks doc bye, I’mma go that’ta way
