Not much info yet, but I grew up on Digg, so I’m cautiously optimistic. Probably no Fediverse support, but honestly, any Reddit alternative is a win. Really hoping for real API access and third-party apps.

Something about those awkward hand gestures really gets me going.

I have it as my default icon and I could have sworn it wasn’t as colorful before? I absolutely love the stars and the reflection in the helmet. Maybe I just haven’t been paying enough attention but it looks even better than I remember!

The kind of game you daydream about while at school or work because you can’t wait to come home and play some more.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad I don’t have to go to work for a few days. But I don’t quite get the same excitement for the weekend that I used to. I hope that you do! If so, how do you cultivate that feeling?

Assuming our simulation is not designed to auto-scale (and our Admins don’t know how to download more RAM), what kind of side effects could we see in the world if the underlying system hosting our simulation began running out of resources?

As a new father that only owns one console, the PS Portal has allowed me to squeeze in extra precious gaming time into my day.

I pull out my Portal when my wife is decompressing on our single 4K TV. Or when my son cuddles up next to me as he falls asleep in the evenings.

I love the ergonomics of the device, the haptics, the huge screen, and the seamless integration into the Playstation ecosystem (and all of my games). My PS5 is hardwired into our router so I've had absolutely no issues with remote play inside our apartment. In fact, I've been using this thing daily and having an absolute blast.

Alas, I have made the incredibly difficult decision to return the device. The daily threads questioning the value proposition of this handheld have been weighing on me. The internet insists that the Portal is actually not very good after all and I shouldn't be having any fun with it.

I honestly had no idea and will be shipping it back out to Sony while I'm still within the return window.

When thinking about the most important moment(s) of your life, do you still feel the full range of emotion associated with that memory? What if you keep recalling the same memory many times, does the intensity of emotion fade?

On the journey to becoming a productive member of society I had to compartmentalize my inner child.

During my early schoolboy years, he waited patiently for the school day to finish so that he could finally resume his creative and playful pursuits.

As the education became more involved, he had to wait a little longer because of homework.

In university, the complicated assignments, group projects, and late night study sessions meant that he would often not get to let loose until the weekend.

The full-time job, commute, technical projects, work politics, and other adult responsibilities really did the biggest number on him though. Sometimes he would go without playing for weeks, or months at a time.

Today it's as if my adult mask has adhered permanently to my face and I can no longer access him at all.

Is it at all possible that instead of being pushed away, we are instead getting pulled toward something huuuuuge via gravity? As if we are falling into something way greater than ourselves? I thought this was a wild idea but after I Googled it I found out that there is such a thing as a “Great Attractor”. Something 150 million light-years away is literally pulling all nearby galaxies towards it but no one knows exactly what it is.

So how do we know there aren’t any other Great Attractors, Greater Attractors, ad infinitum?
