otacon239 , to Ask Lemmy in Series: What are your tried-and-proven tricks for relaxing/relieving anxiety

I can recommend myNoise if you’re looking for an app with quality soundscapes. Unfortunately not free for all of them, but they are all very high quality and they offer an unlock all option.

otacon239 , to Asklemmy in What is an underrated/forgotten video game that you think deserved a second chance?

Dang. I thought I was the only person who had ever heard of this one. Might have to boot it up in an emulator one of these days and give it a go.

otacon239 , to Ask Lemmy in If you don't work IT, retail, or food service what do you do for work?

Screenprinting. I also did work as a quality tech for machining. Manufacturing jobs in general do not seem to get any public recognition even though they can be some of the most engaging and can cater to a lot of people that don’t enjoy the employee-customer relationship.

That being said, finding the sweet spot for management can be a challenge.

It’s a career path that’s practically ignored in schools and I wish math classes used more examples from engineering and manufacturing to answer the age-old “Where am I ever going to use this?” question.

otacon239 , to Asklemmy in What's your favorite underrated band?

Infected Mushroom. They have a sound unlike anything I’ve heard anywhere else. I recommend the album Army of Mushrooms to newcomers, but their entire collection is solid.

Also The Program on Netflix. It’s a really well put together documentary made by one of the students at a similar school.

otacon239 , to Microblog Memes in Anything Godzilla size or larger

I watch this every time it’s posted. Might be my favorite from them.

otacon239 , to Business in Apple’s “I’m a Mac” guy returns to promote Windows on Arm PCs

This is just so out of touch. Windows by far has a worse situation for dialogs, errors, and annoyances. Not to mention the ads. What are they thinking?

otacon239 , to Ask Lemmy in What Video games graphically hold up on their aesthetic?

Wow. This wasn’t on my radar at all! Definitely going to be checking this out.

otacon239 , to Ask Lemmy in What Video games graphically hold up on their aesthetic?

Yesss. The way the lines all sort of sway always gives it such a unique look. I was worried the remaster would take some of this away, but it looked just as good.

I wish we could have gotten a proper sequel. RIP Clover Studios.

While less popular, Viewtiful Joe also still holds up for similar reasons.

otacon239 , to Nostalgia in Smallville

I never watched this one back when it was new. Does it hold up at all?

otacon239 , to 195 in Screenshots Rule.

I’ve been thinking about all of these major companies sending data by default and how this can’t be good for government contractors and the like.

I imagine accidentally (or someone who doesn’t know any better purposely) clicking an AI assist option and sending military or aerospace prints or medical records to an outside party. I know Adobe Reader has this built in now. How long before they’re processing classified documents?

otacon239 , to Asklemmy in What's the best wax-on-wax-off-style advice you've heard that you can attest as being helpful in certain situations?

Not sure if this applies, but “You can never love someone else until you love yourself” was a lesson my dad taught me from a very young age.

If you don’t like yourself, you’ll almost inevitably end up with someone who is taking advantage because you won’t be able to stand up for yourself and you won’t speak up when they hurt you.

There are the very rare exceptions, but they are the ones who help you help yourself. Someone who truly helps you will not shower you with gifts or compliments, but rather will help you recognize and change what you don’t like about yourself. In other words, “Only a true friend would be that truly honest.”

otacon239 , to Selfhosted in ‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services

For DVDs, I’ve never had an issue. They just amplified the BS on BluRays tenfold.
