The pictures in that article are just Tommy Lee Jones portraying him in a movie, right?!

My head canon now is that they are related, "Johnson" became "Jones" over the years.

My ADHD swings the other way, each tab uses more of my personal brain RAM, and thus decreases my overall performance.

I was about to write that it feels like it could be a Terry Pratchett thing.

But then I realised that he actually did it with Equal Rites.

What do you think of the industrialisation aspects in Tolkien's Legendarium?

Yes, I think today, SciFi / Space Fantasy works best to directly reflect current situations and dangers. It can naturally be constructed in a dystopical way and used as an example for a bad future.

For typical High Fantasy, imo it is way more difficult to pull something like that off, because it is usually closer related to our historical past. For topics like racism, discrimination or other social aspects (life during the plague?) it can still work nicely. But I agree, it's a delicate matter to not "overdo" it and ruin the escapism.

There are so many kinds of Fantasy, and all art imitates life in one way or another is what I'm saying :)

I think Fiction in general, not just Sci. But regardless, it always depends on the degree imo.

Why are Steam Gift Games so wanted? (lemmy.world)

My Steam profile, including the inventory with some Gift Games, is public.

I get a few friend requests now and then from profiles that have that exact text (or very similar) as their profile info:

Hey, it's my alt account and I added you since saw you got some steam gifts I am interested in, I can offer you some games or other value items such as tf2 keys, so if you can add me to discuss, I would appreciate it, thanks, I am ready to go first, and can add you from my main account if we trade

Sometimes even with

I avoid posting comments because of the risk of getting flagged by the system as a scammer.

So why do these people/bots want the gift games? Are they trying to scam me, are they trying to scam others with the games? Or do they want to optain the games so they can sell them on their own 3rd party site for a profit?

Has anyone gone through with such a "trade", I'm tempted to try it with a cheap game that I don't need, just to find out how the scam works...

Edit: All gifts except for one are still available in the Steam store. The only one that is not, is a DLC, a song for Rocksmith. I doubt that this is the only reason, especially since most request have the same copypasta in the profile info.

Yes, I "blame" Tolkien for my pipe smoking...

If I ever find myself locked up in a castle by a Transylvanian vampire ... (lemmy.world)
 

... all I could do is sing Dragostea Din Tei. The lyrics are the only Romanian I know and barely can pronounce. At least I might go down in a rave xD

What naming scheme do you use for your devices/entities/animations? (lemmy.world)
 

Are there any recommended best practices?

I'm doing a fresh setup on a new system and want to use this opportunity to organise things better. Previously it was quite a mess 😅

Some loose thoughts:

  • I don't really want to use the brand, so I could replace devices
  • Not all devices have a fixed place (e.g. the phone), so using the room in the name might not be a nice solution, or I could use "portable" instead for those

Not really a meme, but I think it might also be interesting for others in this community. Mods feel free to remove if that's not ok.
