it says the term has lost impact, I agree. Doesn;t mean it should be 'retired' but I get the point.

Other words have also lost impact. 'Democracy' comes to mind. I live in a dictatorship that on a daily basis call themselves a Peoples' Democracy, and half the world agrees

Finding a good old-style offline German course (lemmy.world)
 

I want to find a good German course. I know there's Duolingo, Babbel, Rosetta Stone, etc., but I find they don't work for me.

I want a course like the ones from 15-20 years ago that would give you some text books and some CDs for listening exercises.

I started learning German with one of those that my dad had, but unfortunately the audio lessons are incomplete.

I'd like to know where I can download/purchase a course in that format. I also prefer that format because my internet access is intermittent so I want to be able to study offline.

Thank you!

I find that this only happens to me in relation to AAA titles. I just don't have time to put 60 hrs into a game.

But since I started playing indies I feel like rejuvenated

so if I don't like the game I should just avoid commenting because it isn't positive? I prefer to see everyone's take thanks

you don't have to play a game to comment on it, especially when there's so much material about it online because it is such a relevant title.

I would never comment on an indie game because of a tweet I read. But this is not that and there's a lot of info about it.

I'm not one for taking surveys but this one was fun (lemmy.world)
 

The post image is my motivation profile. It's pretty accurate.

Is NFS Payback worth it for offline only gameplay (lemmy.world)

I have zero access to the internet on my PS4, and I have the chance to get a Payback disc.

Is the offline at least decent? I expect to have a good amount of different races, good arcade driving and good AI

EDIT: also replayability

Are the Rockets still rebuilding or what? (lemmy.world)
 

This Rockets rebuild must be the strangest I’ve ever seen.

They spend a couple years gathering young talent, then suddenly they are in nearly every rumor for a star player or veteran role player, and give high salaries (too high IMO) to FVV and Dillon Brooks.

What am I missing?

I don't get people that are here in the fediverse and want to bring over the content that is on FB, IG, TikTok, etc. (lemmy.world)
 

This has come to mind because all the chatter about Meta federating.

I see a lot of people saying they'd love to have that type of content here when Meta federates, and that those will be the best instances because they will have the most content, but they will still be accessible without compromising their privacy.

I truly don't get this.

I'm not here for mass-produced content, if I wanted that, I'd be in other platforms. The beauty of these communities is they are not filled with posts that are all the same, algorithms and bots. It's just a community of real people having conversations.

If you want mass-produced trendy content, please, consume it elsewhere, and when you are inevitably fed up, then come here and enjoy the slow-paced, real community.

PD: I hope this doesn't come across as wall-keeping (or however it's said lol), It's my honest opinion.
