Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system. in c/[email protected]

Yeah but it lets people feel like they've boycotted. Which isn't coddling/faux activism so much as it is starter-activism. We don't want activism to seem hard... even though we know that effective activism pretty much requires meaningful changes to behaviour which often brings discomfort. People are really out of practice and our goal is getting people into the habit

Need help motivating myself to finish please (no spoilers from moonrise towers onwards) (lemmy.world)

I'm 130hrs in but I'm still pre-Moonrise Towers, currently wandering around a poisonous bog of some sort, so no spoilers please

I'm finding the game repetitive and I think it's my own fault? Am I taking the game way too slowly by following every narrative thread and opening every crate etc?

Should I skip some narrative beats?

Should I change my team's subclasses to mix up combat?

Any advice appreciated

I never played it, what are everyone's thoughts on the 2018 pc version? Some reviews don't like the port?

I am that person.

I'm here out of sheer bloody mindedness, it felt like both Lemmy and Mastodon actively resisted me using them at. every. step. from discovery of service to accessing service to finding content

I'm trying but damn

How many bites are in a sandwich? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

12:

Corner bite - a balance of crust and content, a display of delayed gratification

Good bite - because you did so well delaying your gratification

Corner bite - because you hope the richness of The Good Bite will transfer somewhat

Navigating the last corner:

  • Rotate for a heavily crust>content corner bite - the build up

  • Deliberately smaller, last of the crust bite - the set up

Last Good Bite - smaller than The Good Bite but, equally, aren't you clever

Is it time for me to get a whole new pc, or is there anything I can salvage from this one? (lemmy.world)

I'm not very tech savvy so please bear with me.

I bought a premade in 2018 and I've only updated the graphics card and ram since then. I'm using a 55" Samsung TV as a monitor. It's really starting to get sluggish/finicky. Gaming example: it can run BGate3 on medium but starts having issues any higher.

  • Processor: Intel Core i3-8100 Coffee Lake CPU, 4 Cores, 3.6GHz
  • Graphics Card NIVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8gb
  • CPU Cooler: Intel Stock CPU Cooler
  • Motherboard: ASUS Z370-P Motherboard
  • Memory: 8GB DDR4 2400MHz Memory (2 x 4GB Sticks) + Crucial Ballistix BL2K8G36C16U4B 3600 MHz, DDR4, DRAM, Desktop Gaming Memory Kit, 16GB (8GB x2), CL16, Black
  • Hard Drive: Seagate 2TB Firecuda Hybrid Hard Disk

EDIT for more info

It's hooked up to my TV because I use it for everything from simple browsing, YouTube, streaming TV/movies, to gaming. For games the most taxing is something like BG3, but I can't think of anything else in terms of taxing programmes.

I don't think I'd have a use for it if I kept it. Even if I kept the hard drive I'd have to research How and What To Save To Which Drive On Your PC, but if that's what y'all recommend then I can.

I'm not against investing a few grand if it's the right money spent at the right time, if that makes sense? My worry about changing individual parts is the standard worries about installation and compatibility, but if it's too soon to be changing the whole rig then I can get over that

Advice for managing folding table legs (lemmy.world)
 

Noob here

I have a wooden sheet of plywood that acts as a protective topper for an outdoor bath tub (don't ask). I'm looking for a way to add folding legs to the underside that will rest in the bath tub when the topper is on, and fold out to form a table sitting alongside the bathtub while it's in use

Silly Q: How do you browse TTRPG Discords? Forums are so much easier (lemmy.world)
 

Whenever I enter a discord it's like walking in halfway through ten conversations happening all at once.

Unless you go all-in and follow everything being said like you would a personal/private discord, how do you navigate them?

E.g I can search for "cleric" and try and parse the latest conversations but it's janky

No one is on Lemmy because they like shitty corps so I need your help

I'm at a loss. Increasingly whenever I order New on eBay or wherever, the order gets fulfilled by Amazon.

When I complain to the site I bought it from they shrug.

I'm regularly paying more for items and still funding an undeniably awful company
