  • I really really really wanted to like this game.

    Very bad.

    Did not like much of anything but the atmosphere which was fairly deadspacey and what I really wanted - but it failed everything else pretty spectacularly.

    Maybe the PS4 pro just couldn’t keep up, this game really wants you to melee but is also shooter based which makes combat for both suffer. The melee is extremely repetitive and entirely forced, and your shooting gets affected by the games desire for melee.

    Also, the maps are incredibly linear and annoying to navigate but not in a challenging or fun way.

    It’s free so no danger of wasting money, but I always gotta shit on this game when I see it in the wild

    If you haven’t tried the Enzyme supplement Fodzyme I can’t recommend it enough.

    Ever since I started using it I can (mostly) freely eat foods with garlic and onions as well as a host of other things.

    It doesn’t work on everything, but I have been ordering it since April and I am no longer reading every label on everything to avoid being sick.

    Everyone is different so there’s no guarantees on what will work for you, but I’ve been telling everyone about it (mostly because people always ask what I’m sprinkling on nearly everything I eat).

    I get the brown jar because the individual pouches are a rip off, but it’s less of an investment if you want to try!

    I’m clearly not understanding this platform as well as I thought, I should probably watch a video or something!

    The memes and boobs are great, but I’d love to get more reliable news and local information, seems like every Canadian one dies or is unpopular (fair enough given the limited user base which is still kind of nice)

    And the news + politics seems to crash, but that’s because I’m still using .World …I think?


  • Reddit is fun croaked for me last week, now I’m all Lemmy!

    Unless lemmy crashes, then I lurk reddit signed out with browser.

    As the crashes and maintenance here become less frequent and the platform is more reliable I’m ready to leave reddit in the dust entirely

    I’m okay with him being mocked with his own meme format, this doesn’t quite hit that note though

    “I’m a terrible human funded by other terrible humans : change my mind” is the way this meme should be used going forward.

    It’s no longer a useful meme for social commentary, and should really only be applicable when discussing how much of a piece of shit this human turd is.

    I love the memes and shitposts. They’re lighthearted and fun, and entertaining. I’m not here looking for reddit news with less comment traffic, I’m here for the atmosphere and the community.

    Just talking to/with real people is a huge plus, getting genuine opinions, good faith opinion/discourse, with little divisive content, and the “big” news hits my all feed just fine.

    There’s plenty of avenues available to find conflict, controversy, drama, and walls of opinion to engage and enrage with elsewhere.

    This place feels like a community where everyone is at least somewhat vested in contributing and making things better/more enjoyable for all, and in my opinion it doesn’t need to change or accomplish anything else





  • My back has been sore for a while, and I was always ‘rounding’ it to try and stretch it out (child’s pose, touch my toes, bath with Epsom salt, rolling on my back with my knees tucked into my chest etc)

    What really helped relieve tension was doing the opposite, and forcing my butt/hips backwards. Basically, enhancing the dip in my lower back by either using my hips or my shoulders.

    Like, standing captain Morgan style (one leg up on stable coffee table, or bathtub) and lifting your arms up and leaning back while also pushing your hips back and stomache out. This should be a gentle stretch! Obviously don’t do anything painful and listen to your body, but bending (flexing?) backwards has helped my back where bending forwards just made everything worse.

    Try and maintain this shape when bending down, not just stretching, maintaining a straight back when bending over has helped a lot with both keeping tension away and being aware of my back form.

    Basically, try to keep the shape in the second image (DON’T LIFT IF YOUR BACK IS SORE). When I stretch like this I’m generally standing straight and not bent over. this pic is just the general shape you want to maintain and ‘exaggerate’ while stretching.

    Also, use ice packs and not heat to relax tight muscles.

    It’s Kind of hard to explain, but the tension in my back went waaaaay down the next day, and has been significantly better since.

    If it helps, I don’t go to the gym or anything, by back pain is born of mild sloth lifestyle, bad stretching, and poor form bending over.


  • It’s nice having a place where people can (fake) argue about beans and insignificant things, post fire memes, and do some classic old Internet banter.

    It feels like I’m at an early 2000’s Lan party, and the worst person you’d come across is helpful, but kind of a dick about it.

    Hopefully it stays that way, the relative lack of structure is pretty magical since almost everyone seems to be genuine about using this place to be hilarious.

    Every time there is a dig>reddit>lemmy progression, the beginning phase is generally the same (awesome) tone and atmosphere.

    It’s the same community people who made the original sites popular who ready to move after the old place gets overrun by special interest nonsense/monetization/engagement algorithms, and users who don’t actually care about dialog /engagement in favor of blasting loaded opinions.

    It’s barely been a week and the spirit of message boards that everyone loved about reddit has already rooted in Lemmy. Real people trying to make each other laugh, or sharing something because it’s neat and brings others joy - I’d happily pay for a subscription to keep this place in its current culture.

    Reddit has been past it’s prime for several years now for a lot of people who were missing exactly what is happening here.
