The planet’s vision is getting worse: 50% of the population will have myopia by 2050
  • Yeah best thing for your eyes is to regularly look out into the distance in between whatever you're doing.

  • [Steam] Forza Horizon 4 ($11.99 / 80% off)
  • It'll still work after end of service. It just won't connect online afterwards. Which is sad but at least it'll still be playable unlike another certain open world racing game.

  • Reddit just isn't how it used to be.
  • I would say enshitification is more specifically about a product or service getting worse itself, whereas they were talking more about the audience. The enshitification had very much likely caused the "facebookification" of Reddit but i would say by their definition they are not one and the same. They can happen independently as well as because of one another.

  • Childish Gambino - Bando Stone & The New World (Official Trailer)
  • Looks awesome. I wasn't expecting some cosmic horror vibes but I'm all for it! Very excited for this

  • Reddit just isn't how it used to be.
  • If there was a relevant one here I'd post here for sure. Reddit is a last resort or if I really need a response from someone sooner than later, cause there's still more eyes on Reddit.

  • Reddit just isn't how it used to be.
  • I go back to Reddit now from time to time. Mostly to ask specific questions in communities that are niche and don't exist on here. They are the only good interactions I see that are just as good as here. Elsewhere it's just different. I've not been able to put my finger on why, myself like. But it's definitely not the same.

  • Those without A/C, what are your tips to stay cool during the summer?
  • Windows open at night. Curtains or blinds shut during the day.

  • Microsoft is sending free Forza Horizon 4 codes to Xbox Game Pass subscribers that played the game and purchased any DLC. Forza Horizon 4 will be delisted from stores and Xbox Game Pass in December...
  • Well technically yeah, because just giving it the game doesn't inherently cost then anything. It's just a "lost" sale. But it's soon not going to be able to be bought so what's the difference. This is a very sane and good move from MS. Still sucks that they have to delist it though

  • Sound Space Plus or Rhythia: Rhythm-based aim game
  • Please don't be one of them Devs that does everything on discord. It's awful for knowledge. You'll just get people asking the same questions because you don't have an FAQ or a wiki, or even a forum elsewhere that's easily searchable.

  • 2k games launcher TOS
  • Good point

    I think if the TOS changes on a game you have paid for you should have the right to a refund if you don't agree with the new one

  • What’s Your Oldest System?
  • I sold my PS2 and every game I owned for it for like 3-4 360 games. About 5 or so years later I massively regretted that. Ended up trying to go for a full PS2 PAL collection, likely to compensate. Stopped collecting at around the 600+ mark.

  • What’s Your Oldest System?
  • MegaDrive. Don't remember how I got it, I just always had it. I don't play it that often if at all anymore as I prefer the ease of emulating on my HTPC with retroachievements. Even got a nice saturn style fight pad that works great for MD games.

    Also the model I have is the region free Asian one even though I live in the UK. I've always had a JP copy of sonic 1 too. No idea how they ended up in my hands.

  • 2k games launcher TOS
  • Even really old games have T&Cs though, they're usually just in the installers. They've existed for games since at least windows 95

  • The Amiga Is Getting A Dune II Remaster From One Of The Original Developers | Time Extension
  • I've only ever played 2000 on ps1, pc and openra. Will be interesting to try out this remaster

  • Steam: Now that we're past the summer solstice, it's time for us to announce the Steam Summer Sale! Starting this Thursday at 10am
  • Yeah I can understand the FOMO but i rarely ever get anything on sale during these big ones anymore because they're never as substantial since the flash ones were always a significant discount

  • How do you pronounce a name you haven't heard?
  • Tidus' name is never spoke ingame. It has in future games since, but initially it wasn't obvious in how to pronounce it

  • How do you pronounce a name you haven't heard?
  • With final fantasy there was chocobo and tidus.

    Cho-co-bo vs Choc-o-bo Tee-dus vs Tie-dus

    We have officials for both since but also recently FFXVI decided that chocobo was now the chocolate variant but only for that game.

  • Steam: Now that we're past the summer solstice, it's time for us to announce the Steam Summer Sale! Starting this Thursday at 10am
  • They're still never as good as they used to be. I don't think the deals have been as good since they stopped doing the timed deals during sales.

    I'm raising money for Millington's Magical Barn Animal Sanctuary by skating 100km through the month of August
    www.justgiving.com Help raise £200 to Millington's Magical Barn Animal Sanctuary by Skating 100km in August

    Weʼre raising money to Millington's Magical Barn Animal Sanctuary by Skating 100km in August. Support this JustGiving Crowdfunding Page.

    Help raise £200 to Millington's Magical Barn Animal Sanctuary by Skating 100km in August

    I did a similar charity skate challenge last year with a goal of 50km with me finishing at 80km. This year my overtime goal is 150km if I get enough good weather to push myself beyond the 100km.

    Millington's Magical Barn are a lovely vegan ran animal sanctuary that currently look after around 90 animals that were victims of neglect, abuse or were headed towards slaughter. At Millington's they wil be looked after for the lenght of their long natural life. They even look after a few disabled animals too.

    Please donate if you believe in this cause, as well as motivating me to push myself further fitness wise!

    What are people's favourite pre-WOW MMOs that are still worth playing today?

    I long for the days of yore, but I never really got into MMOs until WOW and I've always been jealous heating the stories of people playing MMOs prior.

    At some point in the future I'm going to be making an XP era PC build where I plan to play some older games from my childhood as well and any MMOs from that era that I missed out on

    Also going to try and get properly into FFXI at some point too but I'm wanting to hear other suggestions too.

    I've tried everquest but the way they center the character in the 3rd person view starts to mess with my motion sickness a bit feeling like I have to look at the ground a lot more than I'd normally prefer.

    Question: In-app links to other instances and communities

    Is there a way to have links to instances and communities in comments to actually open in jerboa rather than going to a browser?
