    I’ll third the ATH-M50 rec. I’ve been using my current pair for nearly 10 years and my previous pair was also 10 years. I recently replaced the ear cups (I think $20 total?) and wrapped the head band in gaffer tape. But my next set is probably also gonna be ATH-M50.

    You so eloquently summed up my music taste! Can you please share some of your more current playlists?! (I say while listening to episode 370 of ASoT)

    my deep love for female vocal-forward trance and house. Emotive and energizing stuff.

    Yeah that’s true, my bases really only get up to 100spm (space age). I’m not a megabaser unfortunately.

    If you have the money (and time) I highly recommend a Steam deck. It runs factorio great! A little tweaking of the community control layout and you’re good to go. The touch pad does a lot of the heavy lifting.

    I was able to beat space age in 101 hours on only the deck. Plus the suspend / resume is incredible.

    (The 256GB LCD version is 20% off right now though Valve / Steam)

    I always read meanwhile in a 1950s voice over manner: MEANWHILE at the hall of justice! It’s become a joke in our house. We’ll just go around shouting it sometimes.

    I actually switched to this from using Wealthfront. I had them robo-invest for me for 5 years with 3% return while VTI made 10% in the same time. So I said screw out and dumped into VTI and never looked back. I’ve had 10% return YoY for 5 years now.

    Have you attempted to contact linked in support? And did you give a reason you couldn’t connect your work email? It seems like if it’s for work you can use your work email… or have IT create an email alias for you. At work I was given the standard email and I asked IT to use a more generic alias and they got it to me rather quickly.

    It’s such a culture shock to me to switch to lemmy after I finish tildes for the day. I usually check tildes in the morning and read through the top activity of the last 24h. Then the rest of the day I’ll scroll lemmy if I need to. The vast difference in tone and substance of the comments is astonishing! Usually I forget I’m not in tildes and question if everyone is ok, then I remember. 🙃

    To add to this, in a huge user of multiple desktops (usually one or two apps per desktop): three fingers up will expand to show you all windows on a desktop and all desktops (click to select one, click and drag to rearrange) or you can use three fingers left and right to switch adjacent desktops or ctrl + [1234] switches to said desktop.

    This works with full screen apps too (full screen soldering then swipe back) and helps keep things clean since Mac is awful at window mgmt out of the box.

    I think a great way to execute this is simply have users give reviews at the end of their playing experience. I saw a recommendation for a book club set up once that was: everyone reads a different book and then gives a presentation on their book at the meet up. I think this might be a great way to do this gaming book club. Have everyone pick a game to play and then come back and review it to the group. That could get around the time commitment issue (users only play gales they have time for).

    And wouldn’t you know it, we have a tildes discord for time strapped gamers that I think would work great for an async discussion forum (if you don’t do it in tildes itself)
