If anyone's got any recs for puzzle games / platform puzzlers / detective'y / room escape'y games on sale I'd love to hear
I simply can't give them any money for at least 3 months while the community decides it's actual worth, or if it's just a cash grab built upon the shoddy foundations of backwards compatibility
Thanks for this. Yeah I'm trying out a few apps. Do you have a favourite?
Good point. Hide is fine. I'm thinking of something like the Feedly setting where if you scroll passed a post you never see it again
Yeah I was hoping there was a way to do so automatically, like with feedly
Sorry, yes. For example with Feedly you can set your feed to never show the same post twice
It's like I "know" all the options (pros and cons and obstacles and things to think about) all at once, any time I have is then spent on the emotional consequences of them. But more time doesn't usually mean discovering more options.
With my aphantasia it's not that it's all quiet in there, unfortunately you still get the carousel of regrets/self criticism etc, but it's a carousel of emotions with no narrator if that makes sense
A friend asked me the same thing, they have a back and forth of voices, at significant speed, and then they reach a decision. Whereas I just "know" all the pros and cons (to the best of my ability) all at once if that makes sense?
It's like I just "know" the text. It's just in there with no intermediary.
For $1 MorePurpleMoreBetter gives you an incredible PDF that creates D&D character sheets in moments. Priceless.
Drawfee consistently churn out a lot of videos and streams each week so I have no issue tipping them
HBomberGuy donating the proceeds from his latest video exposing plagiarism, with +20M views and took months to research and create, to the people who were stolen from earns him a tip too
Whenever I enter a discord it's like walking in halfway through ten conversations happening all at once.
Unless you go all-in and follow everything being said like you would a personal/private discord, how do you navigate them?
E.g I can search for "cleric" and try and parse the latest conversations but it's janky
With you on BotW. Love the dungeons, but in terms of the open world I never felt the oooh, the aaah, the escapism that everyone cooed about etc. Gliding was fun!
Maybe this is because I've never played a Zelda game before so I have no nostalgia attached to it?
My "why has the world gone to shit" was the 2007/8 banking crisis when everyone realised that you could pull off any swindle you wanted and no one would stop you. So everyone did/everyone stopped trying to hide it.
So presumably people older than me would point to the start of Trickle Down Economics, and so on
Everyone has their own "None of this works and it's intentional!" moment
So, I guess, something chill enough not to be an assault on the senses
No one is on Lemmy because they like shitty corps so I need your help
I'm at a loss. Increasingly whenever I order New on eBay or wherever, the order gets fulfilled by Amazon.
When I complain to the site I bought it from they shrug.
I'm regularly paying more for items and still funding an undeniably awful company
Bonus points:
What are some interesting takes/interpretations/ reflavours that you've seen or want to try?
I have a pixel 7
Currently using Cambridge Melomania headphones, so maybe I should get the pixel headphones? Are the pros worth it? Do we think they'll go on sale in Dec?
The show has been launched by a US rightwing media brand as a means to ‘challenge the left’. It looks … familiar
Any tips on a more suitable first project welcome, or any patterns.
I've found a pattern that seems simple once I learn how to read the pattern itself, ha
I made a community for wheelchair users but I think it's too niche at the moment and we should instead focus on building larger general disability communities.

Searching YouTube for these brand names should come up with a lot of examples.
Single Rear Wheel:
Smart Drive and Smoov are small motors with a single wheel that attach to the back of your manual chair. You control propulsion with a speed dial near your lap, and you steer the chair using your hands on the wheel push rims as normal. You can also push to contribute towards propulsion if you like. The extent to which they contribute towards overall speed is variable dependent upon your needs, but they can propel the chair entirely on their own, meaning all you have to do is steer.
Pro:
- They are both easy to attach/remove.
- comparatively light
- you have full control of steering
Con:
- sometimes have difficulty with steps/curbs as they're just clipped to an axle bar
- can feel less ergonomic/immediately responsive than devices attached to the wheels themselves.
Dual Wheel motors:
E-motion and WheelDrive style power assists are two motors, one on each wheel, which are connected to each other via Bluetooth. They each respond to how hard your hands push their respective wheel. This means you can set them to double your input, or treble your input, etc. They also have cruise control so they can propel the chair entirely on their own.
Pro:
- responsive, feel ergonomic. The force is kinda/ish coming from your hands rather than from a motor behind your bum
Con:
- rely upon Bluetooth, YMMV
- double the weight of single motor devices as there's one on each wheel, so if they fail for some reason, your chair is now very heavy
- you have to be careful how you push as every push is amplified and affects each wheel independently. Something to be aware of when you aren't pushing with each hand evenly, e.g, on slanted pavement/sidewalk, when you're turning/dodging, etc
Tricycle style devices:
These attach to the front of your chair with handle bars and a front wheel with a motor.
Pro:
- Great for longer distances
- some prefer handlebar steering
Con:
- less manoeuvrable. Your turning circle becomes very large.
Powerchair style:
There are also systems like the e-fix which turn your manual chair into a form of powerchair with a joystick to steer.
Pro:
- some prefer this undemanding mode of steering
Con:
- They add a lot of weight
- There's no middle ground, it's on or it's off, it's doing all the work or none of the work
Hope this helps
Please feel free to add first-hand experiences or any thoughts to this post, or let me know if I should edit anything
Lots of south facing light from the left. I'm guessing pothos or ivy.
Especially looking for advice of support/infrastructure
Thanks
