He/him/they
Just a little guy interested in videogames, reading, technology and the environment.
I’m on Telegram - feel free to ask for my details :3
What sort of things would you try to gain knowledge in?
I hadn’t heard of that before - looks like they have some clubs in the UK so I’ll investigate. Thanks!
What do you mean by active listening exactly?
Thanks for the insight - I hadn’t considered that announcing the silence in that way could be useful, but I see what you mean.
Yes I think you’re right - sometimes I’ll feel like I need to fill a silence, and end up spewing out nonsense. Then I’ll feel embarrassed and struggle with the rest of the conversation. It’s quite hard to un-learn that feeling of silence being uncomfortable, but it would definitely give time to help me think.
I think I’m quite good at asking questions, but when it comes back the other way my mind often goes blank. It could be that I don’t perform well under pressure, so maybe I need more practice with that. Speaking slowly is a good suggestion - I find myself speaking way too fast when I want to get a point out.
I’ve had a quick look into that, and yes that does provide some good pointers for general questions to get a conversation going. What should I do if I’m the one being asked those questions and I’m floundering though?
Thanks for the heads up :) The same brand does a conditioner that is silicone free, so I’ll try that out
Thanks for this! Do you reckon a product like this (Sukin Natural Balance Shampoo) would be ok? It claims to be sulfate and paraben free
I’m not sure what you mean by this question, but while I’m here can anyone recommend a shampoo/conditioner brand that won’t dry out my hair? I have quite thick hair for context.
Yeah I agree with this. Both sides have committed atrocities. The innocent people caught in the middle suffer.
I think that’s the bug they put in Neo in the first Matrix film
Whoa, some amazing paint jobs! The detail is insane
Yeah, they changed too much unnecessarily whilst keeping the rest of the game identical. The addition of first person shooting really broke it in some ways because the original game wasn’t designed that way. I think they’d need to redesign it from the ground up to make the more modern mechanics work properly. Something like RE2 Remake.
This would make for a really cool novel/tv series!
Thanks for this perspective. I wonder if a lot of this isn’t so much an issue with attention span, but more a reluctance to put the work in?
That said, it does sound like it’s the environment itself that’s causing it. If the schools are encouraging ‘brain breaks’, I assume there’s good reason behind it? Does that improve learning/retention?
Sure, if you know a way to do it!
ctrl+1 and ctrl+2. Buuuut it doesn’t work when a game is running :(
I’ve considered learning python to try and write a plugin that could help with this… but I don’t imagine I’ll be ready with that any time soon as I basically have no programming knowledge.
Yes the karma system here is way better! It definitely reduces the hive mind mentality.
I don’t think we need any kind of algorithm though. That would only serve to make the popular stuff more popular and the niche stuff gets buried. Maybe if I could personally filter out communities that I’m not interested in?
The Steam controller seems great. I’d love Steam to bring out a V2, with all the buttons and trackpads of the Deck minus the screen. That would be perfect for playing whilst outputting on a TV.
And yeah, I can’t believe it’s free! I love dungeon crawl style games and this is just perfect.
