What were the best moments you ever had in gaming? in c/gaming@lemmy.world
[–] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh my god I just remembered playing infection in Halo too and so many good memories. This post actually made me boot up Black Ops 1 yesterday and play the campaign and it's crazy to me how much I remember and how much fun I'm still having. Definitely feeling like I'm gonna finish the playthrough. Just in time to help me not buy the new COD lol

    Halo Reach capture the flag with a buddy. Game winning point without much time, he got the flag and I picked him up on a mongoose and he was screaming the Indiana Jones theme on his mic as we barely made it back to our base in time. I had to do some great driving. Not sure why it stands out so much.

    We also used to beat the Easter egg on all cod zombies maps and since my group broke apart I've always wanted to form another group or something to beat the new maps.

    Wife, brother, and I have had some awesome moments in Ark Survival Evolved.

    Don't get to play all that much these days... Damn job...

    My Draft-Night kit (lemmy.world)
     

    Limited is my favorite way to play. I really like the Draft Night product because it's obviously meant to be played. I don't care much for the collector booster prize pack (mostly because of the huge added cost), and sometimes the lands are useful but most of the time I have access to my land station. So I've been thinking about how to make my own.

    Headed out of town and this new toiletry bag my wife bought works well for this. We'll play 2 player sealed, so I don't need many lands. Sleeves and a shooter of Scotch as the prize.

    Moving forward I'll probably just buy a play booster box to get more games per dollar.

    Bummed that I'll probably never get to play it 🙃 but this one time someone at my LGS got mystery booster 2 and I got to draft it - so there's a chance.

    I've been trying to buy my own box for a bit, but I don't want to pay for a scalped one

    Bionic reading vs dyslexic font? in c/dyslexia@sopuli.xyz

    Bionic reading vs dyslexic font? (lemmy.world)
     

    I love my open-dyslexic font on my Kobo. I read a lot, usually many hours while in bed late at night. I don't think the font helps with my reading speed at all, but I just feel like I have less fatigue and I have to reread words and sentences less often (I often mistakenly assume a word or few words and then get confused why the sentence made no sense).

    Anyway, I just saw a demo of bionic reading and it feels weird and fast. I instantly was gonna pay for a font, but according to my research it doesn't really work on Kobo. The fonts just left-weight letters, but the actual bolding for eye-focus points has to modify epubs themselves. I guess on the xteink x4 (which I was thinking about buying) you can put custom firmware on that supports render-time bionic reading, but Kobo doesn't allow anything like that.

    So before I buy anything or waste any time converting epubs, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with both, and which they prefer? I think theoretically I could modify an epub with bionic reading and use my open-dyslexic font at the same time... I guess there isn't much research suggesting either help readers, and bionic reading doesn't seem to have been tested for dyslexics specifically at all.

    I might give it a try tonight either way. I'll report back if I do.

    Do you ever just sit and listen to music, or do you have to be doing something else at the same time? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

    Not true. Foreskin restoration uses a natural skin growth process called mitosis. Same thing that happens when people put on weight, or muscle, or get pregnant. Their skin doesn't get stretched thin and have less nerves relative to the area it covers. You do grow new nerves, and not just generic nerves, but nerves relative to the neighboring skin - so in the penis's case, the erotic kind.

    I used to have just a little dot of sensitive frenulum, but after restoring a couple years it's around 1.5 CM long and this is a huge sensitivity boost for me. I don't want to oversell it, my penis was pretty great before, but I feel like I'm still not used to the improvement and will continue the annoying restoration process for these little gains gladly

    Halo 3, and black ops 1 zombies were my favorites. Halo reach and ODST are great. We also used to play Left 4 Dead 2 at LAN parties

    Those are all on PC though (BO1 PC port kinda sucks)
