I really enjoyed this so much more than I expected to, and was so disappointed when I hit the point the that they had developed up to.
It's not a perfect game, has a few flaws I found, but the worldbuilding was somethign special. Excited for this.

You're not wrong, and I can't believe how spot on you are. I do enjoy dev, and it is something I do in my spare time, I did break the family computer by tinkering and Dad did tell me not to do it again, and I'm still chasing that excitement of the "Mr. T" calculator app I wrote in Haskell 15 years ago.
I think I just want my job to be just a job the days, instead of this pressure to keep growing, learning the latest tech and keeping up with changes, and then needing to have a portfolio or personal projects to show that I'm still capable.
Maybe I'm just feeling this way at the moment because I'm job searching and it's so disparaging to be asked what favourite blogs are or the link to my portfolio website or github, or my favourite new feature of language X, and I just think I'm not that person. I've tried reading the books in my spare time and setting up an AWS dev account, but I just don't care.
Sorry, I just think your post set something off in me about how weird it is that we make this expectation of ourselves only in this industry it seems, and I think the pressure might be a bit unproductive at times.

Why do we devs have this weird need to do our jobs in our free time. We put this weird career specific cultural pressure for some reason.
Do other careers have this need to do work in your free time? You don't see brick layers itching to work on building a little house on the side, or lawyers just looking for a case to practice on.
Why is it just devs?

Feddit.uk went down for a bit and no one knows why. We're seemingly back now though.
There is only one fully privileged admin (the original owner), and they're not super present. We have two other admins but they're restricted in what they can do (don't have access to the server itself I think?, can't upgrade).
A couple of users are setting up a new UK lemmy instance in response to this situation. One of those users is very keen for it to be a replacement, hence the posts. Not everyone is on board with it though. It's been put in hold while they iron some things out.
It's not an "official" replacement for feddit.uk in that sense, but it's another UK instance.

Sometimes hearing other peoples opinions can spoil something for you. I'm kind of glad I've never found any online communities based around Xanth now, because that's never even crossed my mind, and I'm sure there are many others that would do the same, where it's just some fun, silly story books from my childhood for now.

I remember the character, but I mostly read ones that happened after him (the series spans multiple generations).
I think his name began with a B. I may try to dig through them and find the name of the book.

My mum read them when she was a girl and passes them down to me when I was a kid. For my 30th birthday, she hunted down the whole collection for me and now it's one of my most prized possessions.

Do you know if it's possible to have some mild form of this? Me and my brother have been trying to work out our "digestive" issues for a few years with doctors with no success.
I can relate to the feeling of food/drink feeling like its "piling up" because sometimes I throw up last nights dinner when I'm brushing my tongue the next day.
It's something that's gotten worse as I've gotten older. I don't know if that plays into it.

Just rubbed some dirt in it and said a cool one liner tbh. No big deal.
I didn't squeal in pain and run to the sink, shouting for my partner to bring tissues and plaster, and stand there holding it over the kitchen sink, saying "agh" to myself under my breath for 5 minutes because it wouldn't stop bleeding, and they couldn't hear me even though I could hear the smallest noises of them pottering about in the other room... I didn't feel abandoned or alone with my pain

I managed to push a razor blade (just a loose blade, not a razor head) into the side of my right index finger tip this morning while cleaning out my bathroom bin. I think the only thing that stopped it going further was my nail.
Safe to say, having a half functional index finger on my dominant hand is making everything hard work, but I only have my self to blame for putting it in there...

Is there any way to work out what numbers I should be aiming for for each exercise? I've got a deadlift PR for 175kg (~385lbs), I think I could squat 150kg (330lbs), maybe more, as I did it years ago. I'm worried about bench as I'm untested. I would need about 120kg (264lbs). I've been doing dumbbell bench for 4x12 @ 17.5kg (~38lbs). Today I alao did Incline Dumbbell bench for the same sets, reps and weight. I'm 14kg (32lbs) off with those numbers, so I'll probably tack it on the squat or redo the DL. Does anyone have any advice? Cheers!
Hi, Are there any active communities for home gym, weightlifting or strongman? Attempting a cross post with this, I dont know if I did it right.

I've only just started paying attention the what the numbers mean in the last year or so. I remember it being 40kph last year and watching it out the window waiting for something to happen, but nothing did. Now I've seen as high as 47mph on Beeb Weather and a weather warning, so this should be like 60 to 70kph winds, almost double last time. Can I expect my neighbours furniture to go flying or a bin to roll down the road or something this time?

How's it going everyone? I'm on day two of a migraine, skipping my day festival in leui of painkillers and chill TV watching/game playing. Who's having a roast today then?
I can't remember where I found out about Fenenc, but it's surprised me by how slick it feels compared to all the other Lemmy apps I've. Everything loads so fast and the scrolling has zero jitter. The other apps I've tried just dont compare for speed. The up/down vote percentage is a nice touch I havent seen anywhere else. My only gripe is that changing feed type/sorting method feel unintuitive to me, but its not a major issue. Anyway, I just wanted to drop in and give some support. I'll be using Fennec a lot more going forward and hope you keep it up. It was also nice to see its written in React Native so I might drop in a PR.
I dont (I think) have ADHD, but my partner is in the process of pursuing a diagnosis. I was wondering if anyone was aware of any resources that would help me better understand and support them. I think the strain it can put on relationship is quite well documented, so I would appreciate resource that would help me. I've tried some podcasts aimied at people with ADHD, and that gives me and insight, but it doesn't help me understand want to do to be more supportive or helpful, as they just tend to moan about things people do wrong. Anything would be helpful. Cheers all!
