I’ll have to look into that. Never heard of it. I’m sadly one of the adults who doesn’t read as much as I should from books/ebooks. I’m working on changing that, so I’ll absolutely look into this.

Dizzy Devil Ducky@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which Video Game was most influential on you as a child, and why?English4·25 days agoProbably Sonic Mega Collection because it really got me into platformers and made me into a Sonic fan. Kinda solidified my taste in games a little as I’ll gladly take a family friendly platformer like Sonic or other titles like Ty the Tasmanian Tiger or Yooka-Laylee over an online PVP game like any call of duty because Sonic taught me to love platformers more, even to this day.
Also kinda solidified the fact that I’d rather casually play through a lot of games and not be that guy who tries to be perfect at a game. That caused me to get where I am today where I’ll play co-op in a game but avoid full-on PVP with a random group of people because I know they’ll mop the floor with me and I’d just end up quitting before giving the game a fair shot.
As someone who loves random chance, I would gladly take that over them filming themselves on social media committing crimes like the average teenage t|kt0k user loves to do from what I hear, I swear.
Dizzy Devil Ducky@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•You're old, but are you excited-to-buy-a-new-rug old?English2·26 days agoMaybe not quite that old, but old enough that the really soft blanket I got for Christmas was the highlight. Even over the real nice headphones I got that I’ve fallen in love with.
Though, I was recently thinking of getting myself a couple towels all for myself and was kinda excited at the prospect of having my own couple towels my family can’t use, so maybe I’m nearly there.
Dizzy Devil Ducky@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Since we have a joke for a president I want to know, what cartoon character would you actually vote for to be President of the US?English3·29 days agoJust for the comedy that might ensue from how horrible of a president he’d be, my vote is Principal Dr. Cinnamon J. Scudworth with Buttlertron as his VP.
Either that, or if possible, as a slightly more serious answer, why not have someone like an actual scientist like Professor Professor from The Secret Show with Name Changed Daily as the VP ( or vice versa )? They already run a not-so-secret spy organization, so why not?
Dizzy Devil Ducky@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast!English0·1 month agoThat is absolutely egregious. 200GB game with a 45GB update? You’d be lucky to see me installing a game that’s around 20-30GB max anymore because I consider that to be the most acceptable amount of bloat for a game anymore.
Dizzy Devil Ducky@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do Americans want to know the month first and the day second?English5·1 month agoI don’t have a clue why we do MM-DD-YYYY and personally I hate how dates are done in the west, to a degree.
For a maths course I’ve been taking at college, I never use MM-DD in my notebook because that and DD-MM are stupid in my opinion. I always spell out the month first to ensure I don’t get mixed up. I honestly envy that some languages like Chinese and Japanese have an individual character to help distinguish between month and day.
Also, I would love if every country using the MM-DD or vice versa format could all agree on which format to use for everyday things.
Dizzy Devil Ducky@lemm.eeto Linux@lemmy.ml•Which program is the one that surprised you most that it is available on Linux?English0·1 month agoI cannot recall any specific programs besides a game called Feudal Tactics, but I swear I’ve seen software while looking through EasyFlatpak that surprised me.
Reminds me of the story of the people working on running a business in their apartment, for whatever Linux distro it was, in the 2000s that was caught and had to move the servers for obvious reasons.
Dizzy Devil Ducky@lemm.eeto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•This ad that claims that windows 11 is 3 times faster than windows 10English171·1 month agoThey’re technically not wrong. It’s 3x faster at stealing your data, so it’s 3x as faster at something.
Dizzy Devil Ducky@lemm.eeto Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Can you rotate an apple in your head? (by Shen)English0·1 month agoMy first attempt at rotating an apple in my head after reading this had the apple moving in 4 steps to do a full circle. Now the apple is spinning at a high speed after some more thinking.
I feel called out. Should definitely make an alias or two that auto CDs me the amount of times I need…
Dizzy Devil Ducky@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something only old people say?English3·1 month agoThe only time I have ever heard the word copacetic and only reason I know it exists is because of a song that probably only dinosaurs and hipsters listen to anymore: Bound For The Floor.
Other than that, I’ve never heard it used in any context. So I’mma agree that it’s definitely an old person word ( or a pretentious “I’m BeTtEr ThAn YoU” kinda word ).
They may be dead, but we still have some amazing alternative OS’s that exist that, as far as I’m aware, are still being updated. First thing that came to my mind was AROS ( Amiga Research Operating System that had to change the name to AROS Research Operating System ).
I personally don’t use it since I don’t use Amiga software, but it’s still really cool. Under no circumstances would I recommend it as a daily driver because any software based around Amiga is purely hobby at this point, but it’s still cool to check out.
Dizzy Devil Ducky@lemm.eeto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Being called a loser for liking animation while the entire world is falling for AI slop is beyond.English0·2 months agoI imagine if you told these same people that AI slop is for losers, their heads would explode and you’d be called all sorts of colourful words. It definitely, in my experience, feels like AI slop enjoyers aren’t the most stable. Though, my experience hasn’t been too much since I actively avoid them if possible.
Dizzy Devil Ducky@lemm.eeto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•What's the worst spelling you've seen?English0·2 months agoI remember reading an article about an airport staff person ( possibly TSA? ) laughing about a little girls name. Same exact name. Crazy stuff that any parent could start their children at square -3 upon being born.
Dizzy Devil Ducky@lemm.eeto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•people trashing the self-service section of the post officeEnglish1·2 months agoI’m all for taking those people and shoving their boxes over their heads.
Dizzy Devil Ducky@lemm.eeto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Kids nowadays don't have many (if any) videogame heroes...English0·2 months agoI thought the name of the game sounded familiar, so I ended up looking at the Steam page and I was right when Stumpt did a video on it, pretty sure. Definitely gonna have to at least check out the demo because it looks interesting enough.
Looked it up and they definitely did a video on it. Sk definitely gonna at least check out the demo. Hope sales pick up.
Dizzy Devil Ducky@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you count Bluesky as the Fediverse? Why?English141·2 months agoIf it isn’t able to federate to other servers and/or services, like kbin to lemmy and such, without 3rd party tools like the bluesky bridge thingamajig, absolutely not.
I personally think AROS ( AROS Research Operating Syste ) is pretty cool. Same with just the basic Amiga Workbench 3 series ( the only one I have any experience with ).
Obviously Amiga Workbench isn’t daily driver ready, but neither is AROS since it’s, from what I can tell, just an Amiga OS passion project trying to make a more modern more open source Amiga OS.
