Yeah true, AI art is more “looks OK at first glance, but smaller details are messed up”, while this one is the opposite of that so “smaller details are actually fine, but as a whole it looks quite messed up” haha

I actually liked 3D movies and I even bought the Nvidia 3D kit to play my PC games in 3D, it was amazing (to me)!

But it was an imperfect 3D technology that gave many people headaches, so I can understand why it eventually got scrapped.

I do have a VR headset too, but besides Half-Life Alyx, there haven’t really been any VR games I am so hyped for that I keep going back to play in VR.

Looking at this cover art again now, it kinda reminds me of AI-generated art lol

Yup, I still visit Reddit daily because of the small subreddits for games I’m playing, which are barely active on Lemmy.

I mostly stay away from everything else on Reddit, but then again I already usually did that even before the recent API changes and removal of third party apps.

You could say I can try to contribute more to those communities here on Lemmy, but even on Reddit I never posted much and would just comment on random stuff once in a while. So it’s hard to go from that to actively posting and commenting here on Lemmy…

I did read some argument that for certain foods, if they removed the plastic wrapping, the expiration would happen so much faster that food waste would increase by a lot. I honestly have no idea if waxed paper would work as well though.

I do agree that hopefully alternative solutions can be found in any case…

I have been trying to replace as many of my synthetic clothes and textiles with cotton (or other natural textiles) as possible…

Hey the bots are doing their best to repost posts and comments just like any other active redditor!

Took me a few tries to find it because I searched for your spelling lol: https://kvaesitso.mm20.de/

Hmm, I’m getting “Connection refused”, seems like they are having server issues?

You’re welcome, glad that someone enjoyed my suggestion!

Yeah with Slay the Spire there is often some slight feeling of “I lost because I didn’t get any good cards”, but in this game I more often feel like I died because I messed up my resource management and priorities haha (still haven’t beat it once yet…)

Card Quest (Android) has similar dated graphics, but I got kinda into it lately. It’s a card-based roguelike, with a fixed deck that only changes with inventory/skill changes.

Man I played their browser game way back when, the humor was pretty funny, but I haven’t been able to make time to consider trying their console games.

Oh, that looks interesting but with a high learning curve, haha! Kinda interested in trying it, but not sure if it supports Norwegian characters though.

so he can get even faster food? idk

I look forward to when “multireddits” are implemented in Lemmy, I used that feature all the time on Reddit.

Although it’d still be an issue that the smaller communities are simply lacking in activity in general, I guess.

I do like talking to myself IRL too, but there’s a limit to even that lol

I looked up cellulose and it does say that it is used in some drugs and other consumables yeah, but it’s still indigestible, so it wouldn’t give you any nutrients to survive if eaten by itself, I guess.

Oh right, I just remembered that Norway did make something like “bark bread” in the past during famines, and that linked Wikipedia article says:

The inner bark is the only part of a tree trunk that is actually edible; the remaining bark and wood is made up of cellulose, which most animals, including humans, cannot digest.

I just got started testing Google Bard, so I fed this question to it and got this reply:

No, humans cannot eat wood. Wood is made of cellulose, which is a type of fiber that is not digestible by humans. If you eat wood, it will pass through your digestive system without being absorbed. In some cases, eating wood can cause blockages in the digestive tract, which can be dangerous.

There are some animals that can eat wood, such as termites and beavers. These animals have special enzymes that help them to digest cellulose. Humans do not have these enzymes, so we cannot eat wood without getting sick.

Man, that reminds me of an art installation that I saw many years ago, where an artist set up a bunch of home electronics in a completely dark room so that their LED lights looked like star constellations.

It was kinda beautiful and yet a reminder about all the “light pollution” we get from these devices, basically what you are talking about.

I tried to look up the name of the artist and that art installation, but couldn’t find it.

I bought a flip phone (Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3) a year ago, and it’s so much more comfortable to have in my pants pockets that I feel like I will never buy a non-flip phone again…

But also what everyone else says: customizability, etc. I’m using Tasker to run automated tasks, and KLWP to essentially program my own live wallpaper.
