There was moral outrage when faster, cheaper printing presses were invented because they were worried people wouldn’t learn or memorize anything anymore if they could just write it down & it made literacy accessible to the common person.

In my experience when you loosen the restrictions on specific starting and ending times you get some people who prefer earlier and some people who prefer later and most people will probably be pretty close to traditional most of the time to maintain cooperation across large groups. Sometimes they call it ‘core hours’ when formalizing it in da rules. When most people are working independently then you can get rid of even that.

Second I played most of the characters to their third quest maybe about halfway though the game and the day/night addition was fun but the narrative style and level gating in the second could use more work imo.

I didn’t really know what I wanted to do until my mid 20s. You don’t need to plan it all out from the outset, spend some time trying stuff and learning who you are and what you wouldn’t mind spending time on getting good at.

whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Comic Books@lemmy.world•The Superman Movie is bringing more folks into comic book shops!English5·6 days agoI like a lot of things about the movie and Superman comics like all star, death and return, injustice, kingdom come, multiversity, etc & it’s great to hear the movie is driving some people to become interested in comic books.
But I find it really irritating when directors use talking heads & news reports, interviews, etc to convey plot and setting. It’s like the old use of voiceover went out of style and instead of getting creative everyone went to talking heads & interviews like it’s not the same thing.
