Yes they are toxic but they are ultimately still good games. That isn’t even personal opinion, just due to the fact that they’ve been extremely popular for a decade proves that.

Also super dumb to assert “after x years, it always dies!”
Like ya, everything already dies eventually. Imagine writing “every human who lived past 70 ALWAYS DIES!!!”
Yeah, in the book’s last page there are contact details for feedback and comments.
Ya, sorry! I added one but it failed to attach

Technology@lemmy.world•Cars are like horses: people will soon realise EVs are just better, claims VW bossEnglish
284·2 months agoThey say this whilst trying their best to make EVs the printers of the car industry. Update? The car stops and bricks itself for the duration of it. Want basic features? You have to pay a monthly subscription for the car you already payed for. Need it repaired? Have to bring it to a dealership with criminal prices because every part is serialized and they have you by the balls. Need a new battery after it kicks the bucket in 4-5 years? Expect to pay $10-20k for a new one. Oh and of course the center terminal/tablet is now crucial for the cars function, so anytime that malfunction it bricks itself again. Oh and it will always track and spy on you with GPS and onboard cameras and microphones.
Yeah flat heads are terrible. They are always the reason if I get injured by my screwdriver.
Firstly, theres no geometry preventing the bit from slipping out. Secondly, greatly exacerbating the first, you need to press hard to prevent the bit from camming out, which increases the risk of it slipping out.
Both problems combined causes the bit to slip out with very high force. If you happen to be holding the workpiece, you can injure yourself real bad.
I fucking hate flatheads.

I like you a lot more than any conservative.
I still think heavy tanks were largely a blunder due to how expensive building them was, and how difficult it was to transport, tow and repair them.
They were so heavy their engines were constantly giving out and they were dead in the water.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Are there any common household items or products that you think are designed incredibly poorly?English
1·1 year agoOvertime, our kitchen knives. Knives need to be thin, as thinner knives cut through ingredients more easily. Today’s knives are designed instead to be marketed. Something incredibly thick, and sturdy, to make it feel “premium”, when all its doing is tiring you out, since using a heavy knife gets exhausting, especially when its so thick it wedges in ingredients.
Vintage European knives are slim, and almost petite, because they knew how to make a good knife, in the same manner japanese knives are ground extremely thin, sometimes thinner than a postcard.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How can I repair these dents my Ikea couch has been making in my hardwood floor?English
1·2 years agoThe differences between dents and craters is that dents merely compress the wood, without damaging the fibers, while craters break and destroy fibers. Dents can be repairing by expanding the wood, but craters aren’t fixable.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How can I repair these dents my Ikea couch has been making in my hardwood floor?English
5·2 years agoYou have to remove the varnish by sanding first, then try to iron the floor. There may be poor contact in the middle so try ironing the other edges.
Other than that, you are gonna have to get new boards installed.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Economically, how can concerned Americans prepare for the worst?English
1·2 years agoAll handtools. I’m self taught and I work professionally (as in I do this for my living, but I still don’t think I’m very good). I use all Japanese tools and work on the floor. Working on small parts is hard and you need good workholding. Since the Japanese work on the floor, you can just use your foot. Otherwise a metalworking vice works great for small parts, and sometimes a drill press vice. I am super active in a discord server if you want an invite. Super beginner friendly.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Economically, how can concerned Americans prepare for the worst?English
11·2 years agoSpend some time learning to fix everything. EVERYTHING. Knowing a little bit of plumbing, electronic repair, woodwork, carpentry, and cad can save you tremendous amounts of money. Contractors cost crazy amounts of Money, even for simple fixes.
Yoy dont even need to practice, just read up on it. Recently my sink started leaking, so I though I’d just mess with it. Fixed it with 30$ worth of parts. Dishwasher broke and I fixed it with a 70$ PSU.
Dont learn how to do oil changes though, most of the time it won’t save you any money. Autoshops save a lot of money with volume oil changes.
Woodworking is a hobby that can pay for itself, and yoy dont even have to sell anything. Wood is everywhere, and free. You have to wait months for it to dry but afterwards you can make anything.
Ive made spatulas, spoons, snack clips, furniture, tools, storage, cabinets, bookmarks, bowls, cutting boards, knife covers, drying racks, shelves, etc. It gives you a level of self sufficiency that can never be taken from you. It shouldn’t even be called woodworking, it should just be called “making shit”. It’s an extremely useful and valuable skill. Ive even used it to fix computers by making custom brackets and stuff, and a special heatsink mount for an old heatsink.
HK g11 needs to be added






Yeah, I think it’s a fallacy to treat hobbies as work, and work as a hobby.
Whether we love it or hate it, work has to be done. It doesn’t have to, or should be dreadful, but ultimately it is fundamentally different to a hobby. Completely different mindset too, everyone that has turned they hobby into their main source of income will tell you it just becomes “a job”.
Work needs deadlines, planning, discipline, efficiency, communication, accounting, expectations and competition. Hobbies are relaxing and enjoyable precisely because it isn’t these.
You can still love your job, but I wanted to convey that despite what many may wish, most people cannot handle, or enjoy, their hobby becoming their job
Industry in an anarchist society will need to heavily rely on organization, professionals, and education preparing the next generation of those professions. It’s naive to think that members of a community garden could run a 500 acre farm, or similar.
