I think I would be okay with 8-10 year iterations. 3-4 years is a ridiculous money grab. I haven’t owned an XBOX since the 360 though, so…

There would be a lot fewer old people by the end of the month… (ICU Nurse)

Yeah, I’m still seeing this bug when trying to post a thread or a picture post. “Link” posting seems to work alright though, but I can’t post any other type of content… It’s been this way for about a month. I’m sort of losing interest since I can’t really post threads - I can only comment.

I’m still reading through the 4th and final book in the Bobiverse series Heaven’s River. This one is quite a bit different as it focuses more on the personality of the main character and forces some self-reflection on ‘him’ and his clones. I’m finding it harder to finish than the last few - but still entertaining.

I also finished Exit Strategy by Martha Wells. These books are just really fast and fun. I can’t recommend the Murderbot series enough.

Not really, though. Rigid structure helps with ADHD, but only when someone else is enforcing the structure. Prepubescent kids with ADHD aren’t typically capable of maintaining their own structure. They aren’t neurotypical, it’s more than distraction and energy, they have a functioning issue. They can’t tune out all the stimulus that normal brains do, and because of it they miss a lot of social cues that help with development.

My son has ADHD and no amount of reorienting our family environment would help him - he could (and has) literally be in a bare concrete room with nothing but his thoughts and get distracted and slam his hands together making exploding/punching sounds for hours, where a typical kid would get bored in seconds.

I’ve been out of town for the last 4 days, so I didn’t get much reading in. I did finish reading All These Worlds by Dennis Taylor however. I’ve also read about 50% through the 4th and final book in the series Heaven’s River. This one is quite a bit different as it focuses more on the personality of the main character and forces some self-reflection on ‘him’ and his clones.

I was also able to finish listening to:
[Audio] The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams, narrated by Martin Freeman. It ended so abruptly, and didn’t really seem to have an overall plot, it just sort of meandered until the auther was like ‘Alright, I’mma head out’… I’m not sure I liked this one, honestly. There was a lot of abruptly stopping the story progression to examine some random topic in detail.

It’s ridiculous that I can pay for MLB TV and the ONLY game I’m unable to watch is my local team…

I finished For We Are Many by Dennis Taylor - and about halfway through All These Worlds by Dennis Taylor. This is the third book in the series, and third I’m reading in 3 weeks - they are so much fun. The most enjoyable reads I’ve been through in a while!

I also just added Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons to my kindle today. I’m really hoping for some closure from this book. I was really put-off by the complete lack of any resolution in the last book - just one big lead up.

[Audio] The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams, narrated by Martin Freeman. I’ve read Hitchhikers Guide several times but have never continued the series. I’m not sure why, but I’m having a bit of trouble focusing on this audiobook. Maybe because it seem to be a lot of random explanations about unnecessary things…

@bybpow
No, definitely not normal. I have been experiencing this for about a week too - but because of the nature of the issue, I’m not sure anyone can see the threads opened to alert people of them.

Please… Millennials will be 50 years old before GTA6 makes it’s way to market.

Could anyone assist in how to report this problem as an issue on codeberg?

Here is the error I receive.
The post is visible in my profile.
Not visible in the magazine.
Unless I log out, then it IS visible…

I just don’t know how to word this to report an issue. It’s so strange.

How about we just scrap the ISP instead and start over with a company that can list what they are charging for? This isn’t hard. Either it’s a legitimate fee or it’s not. I have a feeling they just don’t want to disclose that they have been ripping people off for a few extra bucks every bill for the last decade.

Dude, what!? Crichton did Westworld, Jurassic Park, Sphere, Congo, AND Twister?!?! I had no idea.

Sorry to hear you’re having a rough go of it, but glad you’re on the other side of it now. <3

Also, thanks for the reply! Would this be something you could delegate out to someone? I understand you have a lot on your plate.

Honestly, the trick will be to get every new mother to take it by default. Everyone always thinks they’re fine… until they’re not. Feeling overwhelmed and ‘blue’ is very common, it’s the postpartum psychosis that is the problem and there is no way to tell whether someone is just going to get tearful or drown their baby. So, I think it should just be routine for mom to take this for a few weeks postpartum.

I keep forgetting about Michael Crichton. I read the reviews on that book and they seem really hit or miss. I’ve never read any of his books, but I’m a fan of sci-fi and mystery so you caught my attention there. Knowing that it would be my first Crichton book, would you recommend this one, or would another be a better starting point to get me hooked on his style?

I tend to agree with the sentiment here that we are all the winners for having discovered and are still using kbin, a platform that most wouldn’t have even known about before Reddit’s shenanigans. Though, I want to point out that total user activity on kbin is down 7,000 people since about 10 days ago…

It seems people are either going back, or are abandoning for Lemmy because of their abundance of mobile apps. Artemis is a decent kbin app, and is almost ready to release for public beta now that the API is complete (just waiting on integration) - though I fear it needs to happen sooner than later if we are to retain the userbase.

Agreed! Now get out there and contribute to kbin specific magazines and be part of it!

Sure, refresh the hardware I guess - Can we make the dang thing compatible with the games we already have at least?!

For how cheap NVMe is, it’s ridiculous that any console is less than 2TB by default. It’s just a way for them to monetize on selling additional storage.
