on games, it’s always worth pointing out that old games don’t magically stop being good just because new ones come out.
If we completely stopped getting new games tomorrow, there’d still be enough games out there that you’d never run out of things to play, it’s just a matter of actually finding them.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is the optimal handle to chain length for a flail?

i was lucky enough to end up using saddle chairs for a while, and holy shit they blow anything else out of the water.
You can actually sit straight, rather than either leaning back or forward, it’s fucking amazing. Plus they make it trivially easy to stand up and sit down.
it’s like how all shoes had to have huge heels, after stirrups for horses became a thing and thus riders started wearing riding shoes.
The heels aren’t useful for walking, they literally only exist to hook onto stirrups, it’s insane.
they’re made to help you not fucking snap your neck, hence the massive wings on the sides hugging your head
which is something i will never understand, because my immediate reaction would be “fucking sweet i’m gonna go find someone who will make me a pizza the size of an entire dinner table, and keep doing so every day the rest of my life”
i think half of this product would be quite nice, though

2·6 days agoapplies to most religious stuff in general, churches and temples are very cool and i wish there was more not strictly religious stuff happening in there. It’s only really around christmas and the end of the school year that non-christians have a reason to spend any time in a church…

Dull Men's Club@lemmy.world•I put a ice melting wire on my roof to prevent ice dams.
1·6 days agoi mean, northern europe has the same climate and houses that are like 200 years old, never heard of them having this issue
that’s why we poisoned the ground with road pollution, so you don’t get any unfortunate ideas of freedom.
i distinctly remember sitting next to a person at school who had a whole ass piece of cardboard under the breading of a fish fillet. Just fucking layered between the fish and the breading.
I already disliked fish, and that certainly didn’t help matters

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Be careful when choosing your profession
1·6 days agodude i had a fly… fly into my throat once while riding a bike, i think 3 would fucking suffice to suffocate
one of the worst things i’ve experienced

true, but then that doesn’t really have much to do with how old a game is, it’s mostly down to whether they put effort into the graphics.
