If you don’t exist outside the simulation then for all intents and purposes this is your reality. Might as well make it a good one.

I am enjoying Solar2D! Lua based engine for desktop and mobile, working on a virtual pet game. So easy to get something working quickly

Forgive my ignorance, what is tech saviourism?

Just because something makes individuals happy doesn’t eliminate the consequences. Most people would probably agree that cars are more convenient for sure, but they are highly inefficient compared to public transport.

You might not trust your government to manage public transportation effectively and that’s completely reasonable, but is that the same as saying public transportation has no value and we should all just get cars and to hell with the consequences?

Yeah we should just never do anything if it doesn’t instantly fix the problem.

They were saying the Epic Games Store hasn’t made any profit from them, not that they never bought any product that makes Epic money.

“Sure isn’t profitable from me” - clearly referring to the store, which this entire post is about

How exactly does paying for unreal games make the epic games store profitable? Epic would still be getting that money even if the store didn’t exist.

I dont think this is quite right - lemmy.world can’t listen to Beehaw either, it just still has the synced copies of the Beehaw communities loaded on it. So lemmy.world users can still see posts and comments from before the defederation and can even comment themselves but nothing gets synced between the two instances. Effectively there are separate instances of those communities now, one on Beehaw and one on lemmy.world. To be honest this way of managing defederation feels a bit misleading as it gives the impression there is still a connection, IMO when you browse a community that originated on a defederated instance it should be something really obvious and upfront.

So hard to choose but honestly I’d probably say Eccleston. I used to be a major Tennant fan but since watching some classic who and listening to big finish Tennant just feels a bit like he’s constantly preaching how smart and right he is about everything compared to all the other doctors.

I love Smith and Capaldi too as they really deliver when it comes to the alien side of the doctor compared to Tennant and Eccleston who are more humanish. Sadly I’m not such a fan of season 6 onwards, not that there’s nothing good there but I feel like seasons 1-5 had more episodes that interested me. I think Eccleston also has the advantage of being a 1 season doctor so you’re left wanting more, plus he’s such a phenomenal actor every scene he’s in feels so rich and there’s a lot of depth to his lines and delivery.

Capaldi is honestly the most Doctorish doctor in my opinion and I’d like to put him first especially considering how much I liked season 10, but I can’t deny I enjoyed Ecclestons season more.

I definitely recommend Dave the Diver, easy to pick up and play for 5 minutes or for hours.
