Schwim Dandy@lemmy.zipto Games@lemmy.world•What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes?English1·2 days agoI’m trying to work through Death Stranding right now. I’ve started it 3 or 4 times but I’ve gotten farther this time than any of the past attempts. I’m definitely playing care-bear(no aggro, mostly) but the world is very interesting.
Schwim Dandy@lemmy.zipto Games@lemmy.world•What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes?English40·2 days agoIt sounds like you’ve found some games you like but are turned off of by some difficulty bottlenecks. If that’s the case, considerWeMod. It’s a trainer for a ton of games that allow you to “cheat” in singleplayer games(god mode, speed hacks, etc.)
I still love playing games but as I get older, my tremors get worse, making it impossible for me to get through one on my own. WeMod allows me to explore all of the game world without being stopped by something as simple as clicking on something quickly.
I think perhaps you’re expecting deeper thoughts than are possible from those that use memes to express their toxic views because they’re fucking idiots.
Schwim Dandy@lemmy.zipto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you think Lemmy has a culture separate from Reddit or is it basically the same?16·16 days agoI can’t speak to the minutia but when I use Lemmy it just feels like a less popular Reddit to me. For me, that’s not a bad thing, just the vibe I get.
Schwim Dandy@lemmy.zipto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How level is "level" to the naked human eye?13·19 days agoI can’t find anything at all regarding discussion, study or opinions on the question but I can tell you that it depends on the person and most likely, they’re experience in working at leveling/setting plumb.
Having used levels(spirit, laser, etc.) for decades, I can set an object like a stud, header or a picture for my wife and often don’t need to move it after checking with a level but my wife will often notice that a group of items aren’t leveled the same on a wall but she won’t be sure which one is off. There will usually be a few adjustments to all of them before she’s happy.
I’ve only bought two new cars but don’t consider the depreciation a scam, it’s something everyone knows is going to happen going into it so although I feel I made a bad choice doing it, I don’t blame the dealership. The high-pressure bullshit is also to be expected, sadly.
Used, OTOH, is an absolute scam. On trade-in, they make number adjustments to get the used car basically free and on the sale-end, they dress it up, tell the buyer that it’s been through a 5,000 point quality check and sell you whatever got bought at auction or traded in. They get even scammier if you finance through them. I’ve seen 16% interest rate for a buyer with an 800+ credit score.
The whole thing is predatory in nature.
