  • This is an asklemmy thread, not a gaming community, why the downvotes?

    I used to love gaming. I still game a bit but I feel like I am wasting my time when I could be biking, hiking, cleaning, fixing stuff, or volunteering.

    I mostly game as a way to connect with gamers now. Family Mario kart, family Pokémon playthroughs, etc.

    Same goes for MTG. Used to love it, still take some enjoyment from it, but less so because I feel my time could be better spent. Also 100 card decks are too big to shuffle.
















  • We’ve gotten much better at mass producing houses, but then they look like mass produced houses. New building supplies and methods are very fast to assemble and produce houses that are more energy efficient but without the labor and craftsmanship they are plane, square, and without craftsmanship. My century house with plaster walls and wooden siding and trim is not particularly ornate but there is a sense of craftsmanship. I have learned through repairs that maintaining this aesthetic is a LOT of work but the results look better than modern assembly methods.
