My wife and I have a saying every time we play a terrible retro game:

"Somebody got this for their birthday. 😞"

Nobody will appreciate it.

Don't get me wrong, If you want to come over and we hang out and talk old timey, that would be fun, but trust me, most people will just think there's something wrong with you.

What music do you consider to be part of your musical Shadow in the Jungian sense? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I had a friend that was in that scene. He played this stuff in his car all the time. Wasn't terrible music, if I recall, but I never listened to it when I wasn't bumming rides.

Ok. Now that I at least understand.

There's no way she actually expects to get any gold, so what's the end game here?

Can you update the post with a proper link? I'd like this to get some traffic, but I think people aren't seeing the link in the comments

Thanks for sharing! Fantastic film and analogy.

The symbolism of the pigs and cats is pretty obvious, so if anyone's up for it, I'd like to discuss the man running the "food processor" and the chain snake.

I'm pretty sure most everyone watching this will identify with the cats, but, I think the sad reality is that most of us are the man. Whether we like it or not, WE are the ones collecting the resources, building the products and otherwise feeding the pigs by destroying the world we live in.

The man's intentions are never learned. Why does he feed the pigs, and then rebuild it all in exactly the same way, when it seems obvious that the same thing will happen again and again? My answer is that it's all he knows. He was doing alright with the pigs, and doesn't know if the tiger will see him as an ally or a foe, so, back to the safety of the familiar.

The snake, I don't really get. It implies that the pigs are forced to sit and eat non stop. As if they would walk away from the table if they had a choice. What does the snake represent? Possibly capitalism as a whole, or a secret deep state pulling the strings? If there was no snake under the table, does it change the interpretation of the story?

Can you show us on this doll where the music touched you?

I enjoy playing video game music in the background while I'm at work, and not once have I ever felt the way you are describing.

I've not liked songs because they just weren't very good, but never for any bad connotations.

The only way it could be any worse is if it was a rental too.

I just heard a little girl (10ish?) hanging out with her friends down the street yell "CORIOLIS EFFECT!" and it's driving me crazy thinking of all the possible reasons she would have said that. (lemmy.world)

He went to a yard sale with his mom and this is what he picked out.

Not at all what I expected. It's just a big metal frame covered with wood planks, mats, and canvas.

Data Scrubbing Tele-mortgagers (lemmy.world)
 

In the past 24 hours, I've gotten three calls from mortgage companies looking for my ex-wife. I was pretty sure that she wouldn't put my phone number on her applications, so I asked the last guy who called how he got my number. He explained that they watch EVERYBODY'S credit, and when a mortgage inquiry pops up on anyone's report, they call every number that's ever been associated with that person, just so they can try to snatch the business from the company that ran the inquiry.

One of the callers, after being told I was not my ex, proceeded to read off her birthday and ask if that's when I was born. "No, but thanks for sharing her private information without permission."

If anybody was thinking about using Rocket Mortgage, I would recommend that you don't. If they are this shady on cold calling, I wouldn't trust anything else they do.

Just a thought that crossed my mind today.

If I was to ask everyone that you've ever interacted with (IRL) what their general opinion of you is, what do you hope the most common answer would be?

Would you hope they consider you a successful person, physically attractive, smart, the best in your field, etc?

Personally, my answer is "A good, kind person. Friendly and helpful."

Just wondering what the rest of feel.

EDIT: Based on the first few responses, I'm thinking I should have clarified better.

I'm not talking about your legacy after you're dead, I just mean right here, right now. You have left an impression on people. That is inevitable. Surely there aren't that many people that don't give a fuck what anyone thinks, but I must admit, it is a valid answer. Maybe you are the person who doesn't give a fuck what anyone thinks. 🤷🏻‍♂️

DMs are just writers that have an idea for a story, but don't feel like writing a book. (lemmy.world)
 

Kind of a shower thought, and maybe it's just how I run campaigns, but it feels like there's a lot of parallels between DMing and that guy who has a great idea for a book/movie but will never write a single page.

The DM comes up with "So what if there's this guy with this magic power, and the only way to beat him is through a very specific process." And then all the Players decide: who are the characters? What do they do? What do they say? How's it all work out?
