lennybird , to Ask Lemmy in It's dessert time, what's your perfect post-dinner treat?
@lennybird@lemmy.world avatar

To be honest I've been enjoying a bowl of frozen wild blueberries as an evening snack. Good antioxidants and fiber to boot but it tastes like icecream for me.

lennybird , to Ask Lemmy in What did people do before smartphones to pass the time when you were bored?
@lennybird@lemmy.world avatar

There's something to be said for browsing TV. Having favorites channels and recalling between two different shows between commercials. Sucks if commercials were synced.

Like, some films I wouldn't put on voluntarily but I'd watch if I caught it on you know? Also found a lot of new stuff I wouldn't have otherwise seen.

Reading books. Not audiobooks. Not podcasts. Books.

lennybird , to Ask Lemmy in Are you still living with your parents/family?
@lennybird@lemmy.world avatar

My parents live with me.

Okay, well, one of them now. They divorced under our roof during covid while my wife was pregnant with our first child. Ah, fun times!

At some point they venture off to hobbies and try to pat themselves on the back with a bit of philanthropy.

Been waiting for this. As NK involvement increases with Russia, I was hoping SK involvement ramped up in favor of Ukraine.

@lennybird@lemmy.world avatar

Ah yes, right-wing authoritarianism that helped cause mass immigration from regional instability thanks to ignoring climate change and sowing global conflicts... Let's just give the fox the keys to the henhouse.

lennybird , (edited ) to Ask Lemmy in What's your biggest gamer achievement?
@lennybird@lemmy.world avatar

Top 150 ranked in world on Company of Heroes 1v1 a long time ago lol. Got to play against some of the #1's - one of them left to join the South Korean military I heard. Got stomped but was fun.

I was pretty damn good at C&C Generals: Zero Hour back in the day. Damn I wish they remastered that game.

Was ranked on global leaderboards in Dota for a brief moment, too. Top 1%, but never close to the 0.1%.

My favorite moment in gaming was playing a sniper in Red Orchestra in a large 64 player game. Huge map. All game I'm sniping people left and right. Not dying once. Meanwhile throughout the game, like 30 minutes, the enemy sniper is equally decimating my team's ranks. I was hunting for him the entire game to no avail. Then, while prone I crest this ridgeline to scout a valley below and as I pan my scope to look all the way down toward the other side of my ridgeline, I see the other sniper lock with me at Exactly. The Same. Time.

We both fire.

And since Red Orchestra actually tries to simulate ballistics, we both hit each other and die.

lennybird , to Ask Lemmy in What's the most stupid trend (or fad) you participated in yourself?
@lennybird@lemmy.world avatar

Did you have boots with the fur?

lennybird , to Ask Lemmy in How far in advance do you usually plan vacations?
@lennybird@lemmy.world avatar

If it's just us, it's pretty much based on how soon we can get PTO for those days, so 1-3 months.

But coordinating a vacation with others requires you to go WAY far out and basically harass people as you continuously remind them.

@lennybird@lemmy.world avatar

I really hope Putin's little picnic parade with Kim leads to South Korea increasing aid for Ukraine.

lennybird , to Ask Lemmy in What good things are going on with your weekend?
@lennybird@lemmy.world avatar

Just the Donner Triple. So far I'm really happy with it! I'm not doing anything super fancy, just wanting to lay down rhythms to practice.

lennybird , to Ask Lemmy in What's your way of destressing?
@lennybird@lemmy.world avatar

The best ways I've found:

Going for a run with music
Doing VR Boxing
Taking a nice long shower.

Playing dota is my escapism habit that is VERY counterproductive for destressing... I'm trying to start making music again as a substitution.

@lennybird@lemmy.world avatar

I finally got a looper guitar pedal I've been wanting and after a couple 12 hour shifts finally got to mess around with it this evening!

lennybird , to Ask Lemmy in Lemons(?) of Lemmy, what is something that feels so obvious to you that you just get lowkey pissed at the world for not knowing?
@lennybird@lemmy.world avatar

That we'd all be better off if we accepted our own fallibility. That we are not perfect little robots, and as a result more tolerance and forgiveness in the world is necessary.
