Dave the Diver is my cozy solo game. My friends and I picked up Granblue Fantasy Relink as our nightly stint. Think monster hunter but even more anime

Just finished Marvel's Midnight Suns! Also playing Baldurs Gate 3 leisurely with my wife. Nabbed a bunch of turn based strategy games while they were on sale so looking to get into those next

What is "fediverse community spotlight"

 

I feel like it used to be size, color, and clarity meant more expensive. Now I look at a 500$ 4k TV and a 2000$ 4k TV and I don't know what the difference is. They can both be smart TVs, be the same size, and have a lot of same advertised features, but what are the subtle unspoken mysteries that justify a huge price gap?

For a Google drive alternative I've heard of nextcloud but haven't looked into it. For staying in touch with news articles, etc you could look into RSS readers and subscribe to RSS feeds from publications online. For a Google alternative, duckduckgo can handle your search needs. I opted to sail the high seas rather than subscribe to multiple streaming services, but I haven't found a YouTube replacement

I know you mentioned you weren't super tech savvy, but check out some of the stuff on the https://awesome-selfhosted.net/ list. Not everything there actually needs to be self hosted or set up in any complex way.

That being said, you need to be able to handle criticism (constructive or not) in order for that conversation to happen and benefit you

If you're up for it, why not ask your past dates why they think you guys didn't work out, or what you could work on as a person. People you've spent time with will probably give you the most objective take if there was anything other than "we just didn't mesh".
