Coming from discuss.tchncs.de, I’d like to create a non-Lemmy profile in case things went wrong there. PieFed seems nice.

  • My favourite ARPG, and one of my all-time favourite game. The gameplay, the character builds and loots are awesome, I especially like that you can use green Monster Infrequent equipments in the endgame too. But what’s even better are the lores. Every faction exists reasonably, there are no black and white, random NPCs you met on the road who only have a few sentences, make you feel for them too. I think I’ll continue playing it for many years. I’m also looking forward to the new expansion.





  • Maybe, perhaps, she is an only child? Just some thoughts, when I was older I had penpals, for face to face interactions with people can be demanding and energy-consuming, but even a very introvert child did have social needs. So hidden behind an envelope, contact on my own term, seems to me like a good middle ground. I can also ignore them when I didn’t want to reply. I quite enjoyed the level of control that I had. But that was when I learned to write, and it’s not social media. The thought is, maybe there are some indirect ways that she can make friends.



  • This reminds me of my childhood, where adults always tried to push you to social more. For them, a little child only wants to do things on their own has a problem. This need to be fixed. They always remind you of that.

    For me, at kindergarten, I didn’t have a problem for playing alone. Annoying kids didn’t trouble me. It was the teachers that gave me trouble, for they always wanted to push me to social with others, even though I had a friend, for them that’s not enough. Sometimes I didn’t want to go there, because the first thing they wanted you to do, was to team with other children.

    Late until school, I finally realized that it was those adults that wanted you to be sunshine and outgoing, to always expressing and talking, to smile more, to have lots of friends, otherwise you have a problem, are the ones who didn’t understand what introverts are. I’m not even autistic.






  • Masks, frequent handwashing, hand sanitizer, more distance from people than usual, less frequent grocery shopping, stopped going to public places except transportations and hospitals.

    I lost my uncle in the early days of Covid, due to hospitals can’t take in any more patients.

    Also I fear for the lives of our cats, even though they are all house cats. There were cases pets get killed by fearful residents. I fear the government would cull your pets like they did to the minks.

    But on the lucky side, we didn’t find anything lacking in most cases. We already had abundant N90/FFP2 masks and some surgical masks, they were from previous flu seasons and for DIY jobs. We always had a habit of changing clothes once home. Most of the things that were hard to find, we already had spare. Until later there was a food shortage, but that was another story.




  • I’m with you on this. It sometimes feels like those who play multiplayer games have a different schedule.

    When WoW Classic launched I tried to play it with a friend. But all they did were raids. Raids at dinner time, raids for four hours straight, raids every day. If I’d play with them, I won’t even have time to make dinner nor have the time to eat, sometimes I wasn’t even home when they begin their raids. It didn’t feel like gaming at all, just another chore. And I was told it was the vast majority of players. I remembered it has good would-building when I played the earliest release back at school, but I didn’t realize most people play it in a mind-numbing way.




  • I was just graduated, and very depressed. Found my first job, but got fired because of frequent mental breakdowns. I was on medicines that I can’t afford. Overall in poor health. But after failing some attempts in college, I generally abandoned the suicide plans during that time. It’s hard to believe it’s already been 18 years too, happy birthday to you.
