This is what I currently have on rotation:

• Conan: Exiles
• Project Zomboid
• Lord of the Rings Online
• Song of Iron
• Generation Zero

The Silmarillion, The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings trilogy. You can’t go wrong with Tolkien.

I’m a huge fan of this show! Hands down the funniest show I’ve ever seen, with TONS of little hidden things (that are hilarious) scattered throughout each episode. Every time I watch it, I find something new that cracks me up. I really, really wish they would have continued the series, but sadly we will only ever have six episodes of this gem… :(

I think any person or group who actively works to harm the people or institutions of a democratic nation through illegal or violent means should have their citizenship revoked.

Oops…I misunderstood the OP. I am currently running a bi-weekly Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay campaign using the Zweihander ruleset. We’ve been doing it for about three and a half years now, and have had loads of fun. :)

I’ve gone back to good ol’ Skyrim with mods. They just don’t make RPG’s like they used to, anymore… :)

I create awkward silences.

My my my…gitlab is looking better and better all the time…

You don’t have to worry about that. Microsoft will continue to make inroads into the Open Source community, hiring away all of the talented programmers and quietly assimilating the most useful projects and then turn around and make it all proprietary. If you think I’m full of it, let me remind you that this is EXACTLY Google’s business model - and it works.

I use the EXCELLENT ‘Feedbro’ addon for Firefox on PC, and the similarly EXCELLENT ‘Feeder’ on Android. Both are open source with no ads, no subscriptions and no bullshit. Check them out!!

Seconded. I much prefer FreeTube, as well.

There are a lot of free and open source alternatives out there. This sounds like an excellent time to check them out.

The pandemic woke a lot of people up in more ways than one. The re-emergence of unions and the struggle for worker autonomy after a nearly 50-year hiatus all across the country is a direct result of workers realizing how little their health and wellbeing actually matter to their employers - and they are (rightfully) pissed off about it.

I fully authorize (and beg!) for anyone to put this to music! =)

Seconded. Variety is fantastic. :)

It’s pretty difficult to truly understand circumstances that one has never experienced. Sure, you can read about them or watch a movie, etc…but there will always be something lacking that will likely prove pretty jarring if one should ever be in a position to experience the real thing. At best, we create elaborate fantasies in our minds to accommodate the gaps in our experience - and that’s usually when reality slaps us in the face. =)

I’d love to see more positive news/posts on lemmy. There ARE good, even great things happening out there that never quite seem to get the attention they deserve. You’d be surprised at what a difference a little positivity will make in one’s life.

Most definitely. There is a lot that is wrong in the world right now, but being bombarded by hundreds of posts about the same terrible things every day is just not good for anyone’s mental health. These days, I just steer-clear of overly negative groups and posters.

Sadly, you’re correct.

To be fair, Matrix has been around a lot longer than Revolt. I remember the early days with Riot - and it was absolutely horrendous. Give Revolt some time, and I think it will improve quite a bit.
