Top song is Comin Around by Andrew Duhon.
Top artist is The Tedeschi Trucks band, no surprise there. Best God damn band on tour right now. Listened to them so much this year as I got tickets to one of their shows this past July.
It was a good year of listening for me.
Edit: after scrolling through the comments, pretty cool seeing very few repeated bands.
Make them better coffee and then don't comment on it until they ask.
Most people seem to connect bitter and strong and it's a hard habit to break out of. People are used to crappy coffee.
Just getting them to a stage where they buy quality beans and grind them fresh is a big leap, but once they reach that baseline you can introduce roast levels.
Any RPG with dialogue and choices. Bonus points for custom characters or male/female options.
Before my girlfriend got into games, I would often play a new game with her and ask her to design the create-a-character and ask for her input on dialogue choices. Sometimes we would take turns reading aloud in game text and documents. It got her invested without the stress of having to handle the game.
She eventually bought herself a switch and blasted out 500 hours of animal crossing during the pandemic lockdown and now she is all in on games.
Unfortunately it's fully supported by the statistics and multiple large channels have tried to get away from the shitty thumbnails, but those videos get significantly less clicks.
We can hate it, but it works.
That makes the country as a whole 7/7 in protecting state level abortion rights. As an Ohioan I breathe a sigh of relief today.
The Northman is an excellent film experience. A very unique film and an interesting take on the original tale that Hamlet is based on.
True the base won't change anytime soon, but those aren't the people you try to convince to switch. It's the voters stuck in between.
The New Colossus has you fighting against America nazi supporters and KKK members later in the game.
For me its a definitely the excitement of messing with a new toy while also making me think "how the hell does this work" and "the general population has no chance with this".
I've only been trying out Lemmy/Mastodon for the past few days, slowly building up the communities I subscribe to. I was mostly a lurker on reddit and rarely made my own posts, so the smaller userbase is both good and bad. Good because I spend less time scrolling and I feel like I can contribute more. Bad because there is just less traffic.
Smaller communities tend to be more polite overall and are more welcoming to longer form writing and discussion which I am very down with. I am both intrigued and slightly bewildered how up front the platform is about blocking out content you don't want to see. Again, good and bad.
Anyway, those are my thoughts on being a new user this week.
I have had multiple college freshmen taking an intro C# class that had no idea what a zip file was. How can you want to be a computer science student but be so disconnected from your own computer skills.
A little intimidating at first but after finding a decent mobile app (connect) and following a few communities I think I'm getting it. The whole federation and indexing is really interesting to me and eventually I could see myself hosting a small instance.
That's about how well it fits in. You produce and find guns and can equip yourself and the pals with certain weapons. Modern firearms in a generic fantasy setting. It's like a meme game that has too much production budget.
