  • I have lucid dreams and I get excited when it happens and make some fun decisions. “Oh, this is a dream. Sweet, I’m gonna go do [X] now.” I always remember don’t try flying, because it was scary when I tried and jolted me out of the dream.

    But here’s the thing. Once I’m awake, as I think about it, it seems like I did exactly what I wanted to do, but I realize that there’s absolutely no way of knowing whether I genuinely had control or just dreamed that I had control and made those choices. But in the end I did have control and made those choices because it’s my brain, right? And I feel like I did; it’s more like a memory than a dream. But following the same line, I could question reality.

    Anyway, I’m currently cynical and think nobody actually controls their dreams, they only wake up thinking they did.


  • Amazing as always. I have no intention of getting switch 2 ($$$ and we have a steam deck) but the new James Bond game trailer is making it tough.

    I wanted to share my home screen; thought you might appreciate it. I stole one of those pixel art cityscapes you shared and might put it to use:

    The message cycles Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Night, Good Lord (for when I really should be asleep).

    On a road trip driving/exploring the coast right now, so I’m not getting any gaming in. I hope that cabin provides some peace and relaxation for you!





  • The gaming magazines were fun and all, but your posts take me days to get through because you really sell me on wanting to deep dive into everything, and you even provide links to exacerbate the situation!

    Very nice work. These posts are genuinely my favorite thing I look forward to on Lemmy.

    I finally started death stranding! I got goosebumps the first time I was out on a mission and the camera backed away letting you just experience the scenery and music. And then so scary when, you know, it’s scary. Great at setting the mood. It’s beautiful






  • Many block only hexbear and lemmygrad because they are just propaganda machines. Mostly they were left unblocked until their users started to invade other instances to spread their blatant propaganda.

    I think if it like an ad block. On lemm.ee, I blocked them both on my own anyway because I found them obnoxious.

    If you go to the main page website of an instance and scroll all the way to the bottom, there should be an “instances” button that will tell you which instances are federated and which are blocked. I figure the default page is like lemme.ee/instances or sopuli.xyz/instances for example.

    edit: I’ve upset the .ml Also, you’ll see most have chapo.chat is also on the blocked list because it is Hexbear when Hexbear lost their server or something



  • “Selectively” is a new word that wasn’t mentioned in the post I replied to. I get that it’s better to not have access to the data at all, and lying to customers is shitty, etc. I use signal and not telegram. But ‘refusing to comply with demands from other groups for data access is correct behavior’ was my only argument. Nothing about equivalence
