Chetzemoka, in What game do you play to just chill?

Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person on here who plays Hollow Knight. When I want to chill, I like to start a new game and just go through the early-mid game exploration phase. No pressure, skip bosses if I feel like it. Just run around and enjoy the atmosphere and music. Love it.

Terraria

Celeste

Dwarf Fortress

ohlaph, in What game do you play to just chill?

I have a few.

Zelda on the switch. (BotW and TotK)

Terraria and Stardew Valley are pretty fun to play for relaxing.

Valheim with console options enabled so I have unlimited resources and can kill any enemies if I’m feeling lazy. I mostly like to just build and I’m slowly building an entire island with buildings, and other features.

littlecolt, in What game do you play to just chill?

Weirdly, Satisfactory, a game about thanklessly building a factory for a faceless corporation to exploit an alien wilderness.

But you get a coffee mug and there are lizard doggos.

FontMasterFlex,

I just tried this game. While i ‘get’ it now, i really wish there was just a ‘creative mode’.

JakenVeina,

There is. Just released last week.

FontMasterFlex,

really? i’ll have to dig into it then.

littlecolt,

Yep! There’s a box you click for advanced options or something like that when creating your world, and you can enable the use of various cheat toggles such as flying, God mode, all tech unlocked, zero cost everything

SheDiceToday,

Lol, you sold me. That’s been on my backburner for a while. Now I just need to download it.

SuperSpruce, in What game do you play to just chill?

Forza Horizon 5. I like to just drive around the map for a while, and maybe do a race or two, until I inevitably get bored after an hour or so. Repeat every week.

(until I bought a real life motorcycle to scratch that itch, and no, I’m not racing or being dangerous on my motorcycle)

SheDiceToday,

Ah, but which one do you have? Because you know, there’s this other motorcycle that can do X…

Slightly kidding, but “the correct amount of motorcycles is N+1, where N is your current amount” mentality is a real thing.

SuperSpruce,

I currently have a '06 Suzuki GZ250. I got it 3 months ago and already have put 1600 miles on it.

I’m already getting the itch for a faster motorcycle, though. I first test rode a Harley Davidson Sportster 48, which was fun and tourquey but kind of heavy and not as comfortable as I expected (Harley = cruiser = comfortable so I thought). I then made the decision (mistake?) of test riding a Triumph Trident 660, and holy crap that was so much fun, I need it in my life lol even though I can’t afford it.

I also had an unexpected “adventure” getting stuck in the mud recently when trying to go off the beaten path. Dual sports have way too high seat heights for me but maybe I should get an ADV bike?

God help me the day I try a supersport bike. Make sure I don’t submit to squid-dom…

SheDiceToday,

Lol, fast is nice, but my favorite bikes are smaller. My 125 scooter is my current favorite if I don’t need to go above 50mph, and I sorely miss my ninja400. As for the comfortable issue with cruisers, it’s supposedly an issue because of the leaned back, pressure-on-tailbone seating position. Neutral (upright) seems to be the most comfortable for the majority, and you know what’s king of those right now? ADVs ;) They’re basically the luxury bikes right now, with all the fancy electronics on the newer models, lots of suspension, and fast enough to do anything highway/street. Your goldwing types might technically be plushier, but ADVs are popular for a reason.

I have a supersport-lite: an older sport tourer with waaaay too big of an engine for what I want to do with it, but unless you find yourself acting silly now, you won’t have much to worry about. The occasional urge to catch that stupid muscle car blowing past with an exhaust tuned to sound loud passes you by just as quickly as you pass them by…

SuperSpruce,

The uncomfortable part about the Sportster was actually how unexpectedly aggressive the riding position was. I expected laid-back similar to my GZ250 which is also a cruiser.

I am starting to think of ADVs as the SUVs of motorcycles. Usually, big, tall, off-road capable, comfortable, not particularly sporty, expensive, and trendy.

At the moment I am extremely budget-conscious so I’ll be sticking with my 250 unless I find a smoking deal for another motorcycle. Currently I’m a college student that doesn’t really need a motorcycle, but I really wanted one. Where I will be able to get a nice motorcycle is if I can spend my future car budget on a motorcycle instead…

ShunkW, in What show is as entertainingly bad as Fear The Walking Dead?

Suits. It’s insanely unrealistic, full of nonsense drama for no reason, and just has some of the most insane bullshit. But God damn was it a fun show to watch.

scytale,

I have a “friend” on facebook who completely idolizes Harvey. Like posts quotes and often with a picture of the character.

CmdrShepard,

Do they work in the legal profession?

scytale,

They do not, fortunately.

shinigamiookamiryuu, in How would you rate my stick?

Not as good as mine.

Stick

douglasg14b, in How would you rate my stick?
@douglasg14b@lemmy.world avatar

It appears a bit brittle, more girth at the bottom may be necessary if used for weight bearing activities 🤔

braxy29, in How would you rate my stick?

i was gonna say 6 at the first pic, but the second pic makes me think it’s an 8! nice taper, nice size, i like how the little nubs add visual interest.

Bishma, (edited ) in Does Piped.video actually work for anyone?
@Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

No, I gave up on linking via Piped. At this point I figure people willing to go to the trouble of using alternative frontends already have a favorite (that’s probably not piped) and the Privacy Redirect extension and are good to just get the yt link.

just_another_person, in What show is as entertainingly bad as Fear The Walking Dead?

Most shows like this are decent in their first season, and that’s why they get a second. Keeping it interesting is the problem, and all the Walking Dead shows pretty much fail there.

Season 1 of Fear was just kind of okay, but had a viewership boost from the parent show. Season 2 was a significant improvement. Season 3 was actually shockingly good and made me excited for where the show was going next. Season 4 booted the showrunner, replaced them with Gimple, and destroyed all interest I had in the show. I have no idea if it’s gotten better since then, but Season 3 was the best season of both shows, and Season 4 was the worst season of both.

Someasy,

Oh you made me realise that it’s not just about wanting a bad show. Walking Dead World Beyond was bad, but in a not-entertaining way. Fear The Walking Dead was bad, but entertaining. I’m not sure how to describe it.

It’s hard to judge a stick without feeling it’s heft but from looks alone I give it a 6 maybe. Above average for shape and length but the bark quality (aesthetically) and the lumps really take from its value.

At another glance I can tell this stick was recently living and probably quite solid as such. I’ll raise it to 7/10

GreyEyedGhost, in How would you rate my stick?

“This is my stick. There are many like it, but this one is mine…”

otherbarry, in What show is as entertainingly bad as Fear The Walking Dead?

To be fair the early Fear seasons weren’t too bad, the only real complaint I had back then was that they barely spent any time exploring the early days of the zombie breakout. It’s like they noped out of the LA area & immediately settled into the slower story mode that mid-season TWD was already in. IMO Black Summer (a different zombie series) did the early stuff right, just about every episode in the first season was tense & they lost people most episodes, I can’t remember for sure but it seemed like most of the original cast was gone by the end of the first season alone.

But to answer your question maybe the Van Helsing series? They had a similar arc like Fear, first few seasons were amazing (probably better than Fear) but wow by the time they made it to the last season the writing was at about the same level of Fear.

Hux, in What show is as entertainingly bad as Fear The Walking Dead?

NBC has a show called “The Nightly News”, and from 2017-2021 the writing was completely insane and the main characters were basically cartoonish villains, but it was hard not to watch. There were tons of other viewers and an ungodly number of fan sites online to discuss the various sub-plots and characters.

By early 2020, one of the 2019 sub-plots went completely viral and millions of people didn’t even leave their houses.

In late 2020, one of the main characters was voted off the show and it became a whole “thing”. The writers, ultimately, didn’t really remove the character—just minimized him to a series of courtroom B-stories, and the occasional fan-service appearance.

The show is still on, but I think it must have different show runners these days.

just_another_person,

We found the crazy MAGA person here

ShunkW,

They literally called Trump a cartoonish villain lol.

just_another_person,

Sounded like they were saying the anchors were.

CmdrShepard,

That was my impression too but after rereading it, I wonder if it’s satire taking a dig at our insane reality in the US.

idiomaddict,

I thought that initially as well (actually I thought it was the shitty Tina fey news spoof for a second, I won’t lie), but they call trump a character later

ripcord,

Doesn't seem crazy or MAGA to me at all.
