denast, in Phone no work

Reality check I developed is rolling eyes far up. If you close your eyelids and then roll the eyes, you can notice how it lifts them (the eyelids) up a little.

While in REM and actually seeing dreams, you retain eye control, so by rolling your eyes you open them up and effectively wake up.

This allows me to escape most nightmares, good stuff

ok but how do you manage to remember this when dreaming?

denast,

There is no way to “remember” it per-say, you could only somehow train it to be a subconscious habit, these transfer into dreams. Not sure how I did it with mine, I had developed it in childhood, but I do use this trick even in irl when I’m scared, as a reality check.

    It’s very rough around the edges and the grind is so bonkers. It also suffers from things taking an obscene amount of time single player, but rather trivialized in multiplayer. I really thought I was going to like it the game is right up my alley but I give it some pretty meh opinions

    name_NULL111653,

    I modded the heck out of it (I think 58 mods installed), all small tweaks, rebalances and quality of life stuff. Now it plays great single player, but yeah it’s definitely balanced for 2+ players.

    name_NULL111653,

    What’s that mosquito-looking thing flying towards me…?

    I was playing through the Minecraft twilight forest mod and i decided to go kill the lich first, i was wondering why i couldnt damage it at all, turns out the mod has a progression and in areas you havent unlocked you can’t damage anything, i went and killed the naga and was able to do it

    bionicjoey,

    That sounds like a pretty shitty way of implementing a progression system, but I suppose Minecraft mods aren’t known for their great game design.

    Listen, we can’t all be Sid Meier or Edmund McMillan. Some of us are just a 14 year old who’s learning Java for the first time. Doesn’t mean it isn’t fun.

    Modern technological human history is only about a hundred years … we were cavemen and acting like scared children for about 50,000 years before and like frightened monkeys for 2 million years before that … we may have landed on the moon but we are closer to our ancient ancestors than to any futuristic highly evolved human society.

    We’re more like cavemen with nuclear weapons.

    You got a problem with Canada Gooses?

    I’m sure they’re tasty

    burgermeister,

    The only reason Shania and Celine were so successful is because of the Canada Gooses supporting them behind the scenes.

    If you got a problem with Canada gooses then you got a problem with me, and I suggest you let that one marinate

    Trying to get to New Vegas by going north from Goodsprings:

    Kusimulkku,

    I just boink boink boinked past everything. My brother actually got mad at me for not playing the game “as it supposed to be played”.

    They said Vegas so I went to Vegas!

    5redie8,

    So we all tried this our first time, right?

    sus,

    and we all died to cazadors 5 times, and to deathclaws 30 times, and then succeeded in slipping past them, right?

    thereisalamp,

    Cazadors are worse than deathclaws and I will die on that hill. In fact I did in that hill outside of Goodsprings more often than I care to count because those fuckers keep killing you even after they’re dead.

    TargaryenTKE,

    It’s just a giant bee thing, how much damage could it possibly do?

    Love the mysterious symbols of black speech in dark eldritch runes just floating around (until you actually look at them/deconstruct the thought & discover it’s simplicity).

    Playing Baldur’s Gate and D&D made this a little confusing, since 350 HP in either game is boss tier.

    Jonna, in The beginning of civilization

    No.

    This is a load of shit. Why it has up votes blows my mind.

    Do some reading or watching of hunter gatherer societies and you’ll see lots of group survival activities. Teamwork in hunts, in preserving food, in crafting tools, and making shelter.

    If we were this self-centered, we wouldn’t have such advanced communication, which is how we were able to do all those group activities.

    Survival of the fittest is survival of those that cooperate.

    Mango,

    Have you seen Trump?

    Jknaraa,

    Survival of the fittest is survival of those that cooperate

    The question nobody ever asks about survival of the fittest is what actually makes someone fit to survive?

    i3c8XHV,

    Natural selection “asks” this question all the time. What you see around you are the different answers ;)

    nxdefiant, (edited )

    That for nature to decide!

    Today: Be faster than your prey!

    Tomorrow: Have endothermic heat regulation so that you survive the asteroid impact that’s going to blot out the sun!

    ApostleO,

    Say what you will about the game, but IRL does a decent job of switching up the meta on a regular basis. Though it’s pretty frustrating when you figure out a decent strat, and then next season it’s useless.

    painfulasterisk,

    I agree, this is a load of shit. How do we know cavemen communicate in “good enough English” for us to understand?

    HonoraryMancunian,

    And the dude on the left is just so clean shaven. Honestly I can’t believe everyone’s falling for this

    chicken,

    It’s a comic about cavemen. It can be entertaining and interesting without being a complete representation of early human society. That said afaik there is evidence people in prehistory killed each other a lot.

    Shou,

    It’s normal for males, even in social species, to bully food from members weaker than them. Sharing food is a sign of accepting a lower status and avoiding conflict.

    Kase,

    Got a source?

    HonoraryMancunian,

    Why it has up votes blows my mind.

    Because it’s funny? Honestly why your comment is so highly upvoted is blowing my mind, although I mean you no ill-will by that.

    Its part of the lemmy meta-game at this point is to take a joke super seriously and go on a psudo-intellectual rant about how the contents of the joke are the sum of everything wrong with humanity. Everyone needs their 5 minutes on the high horse

    BluesF,

    Hahah the whole idea of there being a meta for a discussion website (which there totally is lmao) is so fucking funny to me

    daltotron,

    I kind of read it more as the cavemen slowly coming to realize that they are both better off with mutual co-operation rather than that they are better off by simply being greedy, because the risk of the greed was too big. It was in their best self-interest to work with one another, i.e. they were both self-centered, and were still able to co-operate. Sort of some selfish gene type stuff, I guess.

    Drummyralf, (edited )

    It’s so funny to me (in the positive way!) that your comment actually transforms this comic into a piece of art by giving it a social commentary (and by interpreting its meaning). And by making it art, you basically give the best counterpoint against “it’s not historically accurate” .

    lightnsfw,

    How is the one with the meat better off? He should have just merc’d the asshole that showed up demanding shit from him.

    sus,

    Stomach too full. Meat will go bad before eat all of it.

    lightnsfw,

    So use it to enable someone who just threatened to kill you?

    heyoni,

    Starvation will make you do crazy shit.

    lightnsfw,

    Still not smart to take chances on is this “starvation crazy shit” or just them being an asshole. Either way they threatened your life.

    surewhynotlem,

    I don’t doubt that some small (or not?) percentage of the population do think and act and vote this way.

    The rest of us allow them to exist and breed and it will be the end of our species eventually.

    platypus_plumba,

    It’s a comic strip, nobody is looking for historical accuracy here. The interaction is funny, that’s it.

    creditCrazy,
    @creditCrazy@lemmy.world avatar

    So let me get this straight your angry that this comic about cave men learning that being selfish doesn’t work. Has people that don’t understand that being selfish doesn’t work.

    AlDente, (edited )

    They went from threatening to kill each other to sharing food, then contemplating trading more food in promise of later trades. This is a message of progress and cooperation. Extrapolating this forward, I have no doubt that this is the groundwork for the teamwork you describe. Any hesitancy along the way seems like no big deal to me.
