ApollosArrow@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What were your parent's rules on video games?4·7 days agoI had rules until I started getting an allowance and could guy my own games. That was around the time of GameCast.
Rules
- Nothing M rated
- Only 1 new game per year, so choose wisely
- We could rent from blockbuster, but I couldn’t rent the same game more than once, so I better finish that game in 3days, 5 days if they were feeling generous that week.
- I was allowed to borrow games between friends, but since I had like 4 games to trade, they never wanted to let me borrow their games.
ApollosArrow@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Will I be not eligible for rehire by HR?2·7 days agoYou can do everything correctly and still have someone say they wouldn’t rehire you for X. I think it’s better to look forward and not back.
ApollosArrow@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do people like the Punisher comics?20·8 days agoLikely because 99% of the time he doesn’t shoot people.
This may sound harsh, but the fact that you have to ask is already a barrier. Anyone in the arts making money from their art, is making money because they stand out. With so much easy access to programs that create, there is a surplus of artists and no enough consumers of art.
As for Etsy, they are going to start deprioritizing copycat pieces and getting behind more original content, because their website is flooded. Competition on that platform is about to get harder.
People famously say making money with 3D printing is hard. If you still want to try, then you’ll need to go around and try to solve for issues people haven’t thought to solve and go print those solutions.
If you want to do things like coloring books, your best bet may be to go around to daycares, doctor’s offices and other places children may get bored and ask them if they would want to buy from you. The problem you are facing there is that most little kids today just play on iPads.
ApollosArrow@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•PlayStation 6 Console And New PS6 Handheld ‘Canis’ Specs Leak, It’s Claimed - Insider GamingEnglish2·11 days agoI told my wife to not buy me a ps5, since I didn’t see any games I wanted. She did so anyway. I have yet to buy a single ps5 game, still working through all the ps4 stuff. I’ll buy a handle of ps5 games when ps6 is probably out. I’ve told her to NOT buy me a ps6 in the future, but she’ll probably ignore that as well.
ApollosArrow@lemmy.worldto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase 31/07/2025 - Summary and links to trailers/showcasesEnglish1·12 days agoWish we’d know more about the setup, especially if Link will indeed not be the main driver of this. Wondering if it will be more time travel shenanigans, like sending Link back in time into the contract body at the end of the trailer.
ApollosArrow@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever had fruitful discussions cut short because OP deleted the post? If so, is this a fundamental problem or just an annoyance?4·15 days agoIt’s a habit that I think sparked from Reddit exodus and people wanting to remove traces of themselves.
I know some people disagree, but it feels like walking into someone’s library and just setting books on fire. You’re destroying some posterity and the goal of place like Lenny where we want to gather people and information.
Instead of going scorched Earth, we should treat this as a public place where what you say is out of your control once you have said it. We should be practicing mindfulness in how we use the internet, like we used to back in the day.
The common practice on Reddit used to be creating throwaway accounts (some still do that here) to ask those more personal questions, but I think more and more people are just destroying accounts all together every few months.
It’s a less of an issue on the communities where people are asking for personal advice that is very bespoke to the person (even though that advice could in theory help others in the future) and more of an issue in the communities where knowledge is being shared.
I think the larger hurdle on Lemmy will be the fact that there will always be many clashing ideologies and people will never agree on the way people should be living their lives.
ApollosArrow@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a movie you can watch often and it never gets old?2·16 days agoSame! I usually watch the first one once a year, but I try to get the fully trilogy in.
ApollosArrow@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•An affordability crisis is making some young Americans give up on ever owning a home1·2 years agoI was going to post a similar sentiment. Maybe I’m being overly critical, but I remember when news was “new”. A version of this article comes out every other day.
ApollosArrow@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Lemmy, is there a treasured piece of content that you stop yourself from going back to "too often" so as to not dilute it?4·2 years ago- The first few seasons of Red vs Blue
- Back to the Future trilogy
ApollosArrow@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•We Asked A.I. to Create the Joker. It Generated a Copyrighted Image.English3·2 years agoMostly playing devil’s advocate here (since I don’t think ai should be used commercially), but I’m actually curious about this, since I work in media… You can get away using images or footage for free if it falls under editorial or educational purposes. I know this can vary from place to place, but with a lot of online news sites now charging people to view their content, they could potentially be seen as making money off of copyrighted material, couldn’t they?
ApollosArrow@lemmy.worldto Movies@lemmy.world•Tron 3 (or TR3N) started production today.English7·2 years agoAt least those replaced similar letters.
ApollosArrow@lemmy.worldto Nintendo@lemmy.world•[Help Needed] Any recommendation for alternative to JoyCon?English1·2 years agoYeah, I’ve sent mine in to get fixed a few times. it’s hit or miss. Once they sent me back one that was scratched. I complained, sent it back, they sent me another one, but it ended up being the same exact one. After all was said and done they ended up sending me a brand new one for all the hassle. Also be aware if you send a special joycon that you may not get that one back.
ApollosArrow@lemmy.worldto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Charted: Video Game Industry Revenues By Year & PlatformEnglish3·2 years agoThank you! This took way too long for me to comprehend. I believe the colored dots right up against the Y axis is what was throwing me off, but your comment helped me get there.
ApollosArrow@lemmy.worldto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Charted: Video Game Industry Revenues By Year & PlatformEnglish1·2 years agoThis chart gets hard to read. Why is VR/AR at the top with 5b if it’s the lowest figure?
If true, I am impressed that arcade is doing better than home console.
In memory of the Apollo app. RIP.
ApollosArrow@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Don't overstate 1.5 degrees C threat, new IPCC head saysEnglish51·2 years agoIt’s like the world is desperate to recreate AppleTV+’s show Extrapolation, where companies just kept negotiating to raise the world temperature target cap. The red skies many people in the US were seeing were finally a wake up call to some.
ApollosArrow@lemmy.worldto Reddit@lemmy.world•Sound Off: How many 10+ year redditors have left the site?2·2 years agoAlmost to 10. 9yrs 6 months before I left.
The right one definitely looks like it would be more high end.
