The thing depicted is Fourier transform. As opposed to ‘furry transfem’.

4·7 hours agoGood question, especially considering that the site is owned by Fandom, Inc. now.
I’ve seen several sites dedicated to old games go down in just a few recent years.
There are also a whole bunch of mixes from Lynchland at Mixcloud: like ‘Lynchland Members Mix #1’ or ‘Songs from the Stars II ~ Twin Peaks 2017’. And also ‘Twin Peaks 2017 Cast Mixtape’.
Not just in Siberia. Though this one is defunct.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How many of you are non-native English speakers?

Thankfully, not much difference between those, eh.

2·21 hours agoFor spoken English, I greatly recommend audiobooks and podcasts. They typically have better narrators, so are easier to understand. As a bonus, one can listen to them while doing household chores and such — for me, consumption of books greatly increased with audiobooks compared to snatches of books here and there.

Plug them all in, and you’ve got a Cronenbergesque sculpture underscoring the protagonist’s descent into the more surreal corners of the unfolding story.
Took me a little while to realize it’s not a condom or a weird hotdog on the flag.

Games@lemmy.world•What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype?English
1·1 day agoIt’s just that I made a resolve recently-ish that I need to properly get into stories in games. Unlike back in the day, when I played through ‘Half-Life’ 1 and 2 and gathered pretty much nothing about the plot. ‘Disco Elysium’ seems to be the type of a game where a lot of the story is in the details dropped by the characters, reading materials, etc.
I’ve been recently replaying the original ‘Deus Ex’, and had Denton crawl around every level for hours, reading each newspaper and poster he comes across. The papers do in fact frame the main story, clarifying the relations between factions and such.
An extreme case of this is apparently the ‘Elder Scrolls’ universe, with which the community gathered sizeable lore and history that goes several layers deep. I’ve never played the games (perhaps for the best), and only happened upon a tangential discussion about this, but the impression was that they’re deciphering it like ‘Ulysses’.

4·1 day agoStuff about the setting that I learn from the characters. Perhaps you have better memory than me.
Steam has notes built in
This is great to know. I need to see if Steam accepts my copy of the game, for which I didn’t pay to the company after what they did to the developers.

1·1 day agoBut he’s a professional detective, presumably with the skill to gather information and put it together. Meanwhile I’m a professional scatterbrain who writes down notes for programming projects that take more than a day. It would be unrealistic for me to roleplay as him, especially if I step away from the game for a couple weeks and forget most of the details. If I can code while hungover, he probably can do detective stuff while hungover.
Okay, name three of his articles.
That’s prosopagnosia. We have hardware in the brain, wired to recognize faces — which is probably why pareidolia, aka ‘Jesus on a toast’, is a thing. Only, for some people this chunk doesn’t work as it should.
I myself have poor memory for faces if I don’t hang out with a person for a while. This presented challenges when I worked from home, but occasionally showed up at the office and was greeted by people with whom I only communicated through chat and saw on minuscule userpics.
Well, you can live in a cave now. It’ll still be uncomfortable as heck, however.
