It’s interesting to me the number of people I have met that find cooking brings them joy or happiness. It’s cool and all, but, for me a little odd. Probably because I eat to survive and not to enjoy.

I bet friends and family are appreciative of your joy of cooking!!

Thank you so much!!

That is a very fair and valid statement! Animals in general always seem to be a bright spot for people. Unless of course said animal is trying to eat them… then maybe not so much 🙂

Thank you for sharing!!

I guess in a sense calm and contentment could be a form of happiness or joy. Not sure everything has to be a huge emotional experience.

The cool thing for you is that there are so many other folks who enjoy it. Plenty of people to share with.

Appreciate you posting!!

Wow, so you actually got to join the circus!! I assume it’s not a traveling show but still… have to say, I’m a little jealous. I think a lot of us would like to do something like that.

I’ve met a few folks that have said the same about art. I think for some it’s a truly ingrained “thing they must do”.

Thank you so much for sharing!!

Haha damn auto correct!!! At least it was safe for work and didn’t cause you to go “wtf is this dude saying”!!

Rooting all the way 🙂

While the internet can be a crappy place most of the time, I’d like to think once in a while it can at least be fun, friendly, and helpful.

There may still be hope for The Mars Trilogy… it’s not 2026 yet… then again “waves hands around at everything”… we may have to settle for the story.

🙂

This is a great story!!

First, no judgement… second, your secret is safe with me!!

I think it’s great you have something you’re passionate about and want to continue to grow and learn. Mistakes be damned, just keep moving forward!!

Thank you so much for sharing!!

hi folks, hope all are well today. new'ish gamer and i have a question about etiquette in MMORPGs.

are there proper ways to engage people in game? it seems strange to me to randomly ask someone to be friends. i also don't see many ways to strike up conversations (if that's the proper way to refer to it).

for additional context, in a game like Throne & Liberty or FFXIV, there are tons of people running around doing their thing. do you just whisper to someone and say hi? do you comment on their character or if you saw them do something interesting / cool?

or, for something like The First Descendant you may run a mission with a bunch of random people and then everyone goes their separate ways. but, if that group was cool (and good) do you quickly try to friend everyone?

personal context (if it helps / matters), console gamer (PlayStation don't judge please, haha), really introverted / anxious around strangers IRL, older play (mid 50s) and ultimately... afraid of looking like a weirdo 😀

apologies in advance if this topic was already discussed (happy to check another post if some can point me to it). also, apologies if i don't directly respond to every message, although i will read them all.

edit - 2024/11/16 - i just wanted to say thank you to everyone for your advice and taking the time to reply / provide your insights. this has really been helpful!! happy gaming to you all 🎮 🕹️ 😄

Hi and hope all are well today. First, thanks in advance for any / all responses. Second, apologies if this isn’t the best place to ask this question.

I’m curious if anyone, has moved completely from using an AppleTV to something else. Current use case for the ATV is a few streaming apps (Crunchyroll / HiDive, Tubi, etc.) and Apple Arcade (a few casual games).

If you did completely switch, what did you decide on using? Did you go back to buying movies / using a DVD/Blu-Ray player, setup a mini PC and stream from websites / rip music and movies, use a gaming console instead, etc.?

Exploring options and entertaining thoughts for right now. Again, thanks and have a good day / evening.

Edit - 2024/01/01 - Just wanted to thank everyone for the lively discussion and resources (links, recommendations, etc.) related to my question.
