Fair enough. Sorry it was harsh.

After reading your replies, I think my answer to your “how do you deal with loneliness?” is: you don’t. You don’t sound like you’re willing to do literally anything other than complain. You sound like you want a women to fuck you but don’t want to bring anything to the table. Not one ioda of effort spent on another living creature.

I think the people that met their partners playing video games have more to offer than just playing video games once they actually meet. They are probably nice people who make some amount of effort to be with someone.

My advice: find a sex worker, if scrounging up a few hundred dollars and driving isn’t too much effort for you.

Sorry if this is harsh, but Jesus Christ man, you have a pathetic mentality. Sometimes you have to do something else other than playing video games as a grown ass adult. Being lonely sucks, and I feel for your situation, but you gotta actually do something about it.

I’ve noticed significant YouTube quality degradation when using Firefox, but no issues with Chrome.

Got a link for the extension by any chance?

I live in the PNW of Canada. It’s expensive, but I love it here and wouldn’t move unless I absolutely had to.

Unsure if AI image, or product of horrific work environment…

Sounds like things going right is karmic justice for doing your best to support the ones you care for. Good on you mate. Hope all is well.

That’s funny, it’s the opposite for me. Got into Satisfactory, loved it. Buddy bought me factorio, and now Satisfactory seems like an extremely feature-neutered version of Factorio.

We have our own political brain rot here. We may not be the US, but some of our politicians look down south to the red states and think that they have some pretty good ideas.

It really was weirdly good.

I’d rather cum in the sink than sink in the cum

As a guy with covid currently, it is not, in fact, over.

LOL

1080p and 4k isn’t really a fair comparison for great earbuds and shit earbuds in my opinion. The comparison there is like 4k and 480p. There is a massive difference between the 2. I have had $30 earbuds that you couldn’t listen to a podcast on, and I currently have $250+ Bose earbuds that are fucking amazing for just about everything.

Unless of course you’re saying that these earbuds are in fact “1080p” quality. In which case, fair point. I have yet to see someone who’s actually used these and commented on the sound quality though. What I’ve seen from fairphone products is they are consumer friendly at the expense of quality.

Of course it’s going to be a shit take.

Helldivers 2 with friends.

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. Hadn’t played since I was much younger. Forgot how fun it was to kick everyone off ledges.

Binding of Isaac - once I figure out how to get my GOG save file on my partner’s PC to sync with my PC…

Total War: Warhammer 3. Played this one on and off. A mod I love just dropped a patch so I’m bad into it for now, until CA fucks something up again.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I liked DOS2 more than BG3. Not to say I don’t love BG3, but I love DOS2

Agree. The amount of people doom saying, massively blowing things out of proportion, or having victim complexes is out of control. If you got all your news from Lemmy, you’d think society as we know it is about to collapse… or at least American society.

Reddit has a lot of downfalls, but at least it was diverse and the memes were better.

Going to go a bit against the grain on this one and recommend SecretLab. It does have that “gaming chair” aesthetic, but it is a great chair IMO.

I work from home, sit on my ass for 8 hours straight, and occasionally game right after work into the evening. I can park my ass in that thing and sit for 16 hours no problem (obviously getting up to take short breaks etc). It is super comfortable. I own the mesh one, instead of the leather/pleather, and I think it’s the way to go.

Furthermore, the customer service is excellent. I needed to replace the armrest after 4 years as it was beginning to crack. My model didn’t come with the snap on/snap off armrests, so I had to send an email to customer support to see if there was something they could do. Not only did they inform me it was actually easily replaceable, they sent me instructions, and gave me 50% of the replacement cost, which was only $20CAD, as I was just over the warranty at that point. It might be a 3 year warranty, but I can’t quite remember, possibly 4.

My circle of friends largely work from home as well, and many of them have SecretLab chairs, and they also love them. No back problems, super comfy, breathable.

The only downside I can really think of is that it is a fairly heavy chair, as the base uses a large amount of metal, and the price tag can be expensive, at around $500-$700CAD if you purchase new.

They are also sized to fit your height and weight. I own the Titan 2020 model, and I love it.

Hope this helps!
