Same, but for me a lot of it has to do with ADHD-induced anxiety. It’s not always that I forgot you exist; but simply that it’s been too long now, so it would be weird and awkward if I tried to re-enter your life again. So it’s best to just stay away.

I’ve ghosted every job I’ve held (except one) for the same reason: can’t deal with the anxiety of putting in my two weeks, so when I’m done with a job I just silently walk away without saying a thing to anyone and never come back.

Fallout: London is pretty decent. It may be a mod, but it plays like a proper Fallout title. Enjoy that in the meantime. It won’t completely fill the void but it’s better than nothing.

APUs obviously weren’t a thing yet, and it was common knowledge back then that contemporary iGPUs were complete and utter trash. I mean they were so weak that you couldn’t even play HD video or even enable some of XP’s very basic graphical effects with most integrated graphics.

Everyone knew that you needed a dedicated graphics card back then, so you can and should in fact put some blame on the consumer for being dumb enough to buy a PC without one, regardless of what the sticker said. I mean I was a teenager back then and even still I knew better. The blame goes both ways.

TweakUAC solved that problem.

Meh, you just needed a discrete GPU, and not even a good one either. Just a basic, bare-bones card with 128MB of VRAM and pixel shader 2.0 support would have sufficed, but sadly most users didn’t even have that back in 06-08.

It was mostly the consumer’s fault for buying cheap garbage laptops with trash-tier iGPUs in them, and the manufacturer’s for slapping a “compatible with Vista” sticker on them and pushing those shitboxes on consumers. If you had a half-decent $700-800 PC then, Vista ran like a dream.

I hate the disassociation so much, especially since I have no control over when it happens. I’m always missing the first few words of a conversation when someone starts talking to me and have to use context to figure out what they’re talking about. The worst is when it happens in the middle of a conversation. I’m trying to listen but then suddenly I just tune-out without warning, often without realizing it.

It’s beyond frustrating, especially when you’re trying to have healthy relationships. I come across as uncaring and selfish, which is the worst part. Nobody believes me when I say that I’m trying my hardest to listen.

This is not an Apple thing. Android phones use HEIC by default as well. This is a good thing. HEIC uses smaller file sizes and has fewer artifacts than JPEG.

Exactly. Android’s default image format is HEIC as well. Jpeg is outdated and needs to die already.

I pirated it a few years back, played for an hour, got bored and uninstalled.

If it’s not a yearly release, then why label it as such? Just call it Farming Sim 9.

To be fair, Lohan is in The Parent Trap too. Unless of course you’re talking about the original from the 70s.

Who?

Depression is also a symptom of ADHD

Makes sense, cause as an American I can confirm that throwing bricks through windows isn’t a tradition here. When we’re mad at someone, we simply send the police to kick down their door and shoot their dog instead.

I don’t even understand why a game like this needs a yearly release. Farming doesn’t evolve that quickly. I mean, the devs of the Trucking Sim games don’t need to release a new game every year, because trucking doesn’t evolve they quickly, either. So what’s their excuse, other than pure greed?

To be fair, OP, the article writer, and even the developers themselves somehow forgot to add the apostrophe to '25. For what it’s worth, using apostrophes when shortening a year to two digits seems to have fallen out of use in the past couple of decades, leading to this confusion. I have no idea why.

Like the others have said, use Voyager to filter out the instances and communities you don’t want to see.

This exactly. I didn’t join Lemmy for a long time, because I would search for “Lemmy”, get confused when I see a page asking me to “pick an instance” instead of seeing a front page, and then leave because I thought that they were all independent from each other.

It wasn’t until reddit killed my favorite app that I finally decided to put in the effort to figure it out.

I figured, lol. But even native speakers can be ambiguous in their phrasing. You made an extremely common mistake, so don’t feel bad.

Just curious: why don’t you want night vision? The only time it isn’t useful is if the camera will be looking through a window, cause there’s too much glare when the ir lights are on.

Besides this place, I also use Imgur and YouTube to help fill in the void after leaving reddit. I’m considering joining Bluesky and Mastodon as well but I’ve never used a Twitter-like interface before so it’s intimidating.

Unfortunately I still haven’t found a suitable replacement for niche communities. There’s always forums, but I got too used to points-based communities, and because comments are sorted chronologically, it’s hard to know what’s crap and what’s actual useful information. Which can suck if you need a good opinion on something. 20-30 years ago that wouldn’t have even bothered me, cause forums were the only social media I knew then. But times have changed.
