@smeyersdev
lol all these games ok to watch but even video is enough!
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=8rsPhFIYq2Y
notes:
- Double D is definately like Contra Spirits and looked fun for a bit for the autofire constant firing and managing to move around
and top vew of The Greek Encounter looked fun like GTA 1 view just walking around
otherwise same same Sam and Duke ! :)
Duke below, but boring doesn't show the satanistic underground stuff (I think I saved a lot of knoghtmares not playing it!)
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=ljp5cPqrV4E
@smeyersdev ah ok not bad still! Never played Serious Sam!
And also come to think of it doom and duke wasn't my thing / quite same or even too difficult and a bit dark scary even if I can admit that lol!
But half-life for multiplayer yeah great
@256 yeah these games bottled out and even with better graphics actually didn't need to advance too much (versus the costs - just like a skins pack for all the rest of the games) or the others are good but this is what shoulder sit on (literally as the Engine I suppose that's quite true!)
If I missed anything new about these games do let me know but I'm even thinking is there more (Halo was major one-up in 2000's for it's mixed story, atmosphere, fucking scary moments, co-opt story mode, vehicles, multi-player, enemy noises, battlesuit / temporary shield, computer narration / Cortana? / maps etc etc) and then more of the same...
Some western games impressed me for it's theme, choosing style of 'slinger' you are, the atmospheric level settings, vocal narration like a ral western film and objective-based play... Call of Juares

@chronrevisited@mastodon.social @chronrevisited@mastodon.socia Mini-interview ?
Would like to do mini-interview about whatever part of life you love and like.
I also do all the post-audio work so that helps (you need do nothing and really it's not a big thing), It's more of a friendly thing and can even ditch the audio later. Just to practise having fun while talking is probably rare ! >-< and doing it this way has got surprising results! (some examples of friendly people that took me up on the offer are at the link below-
but if you're not friendly forget it !... hehe just joking have a listen and get ready to be nice or expressive about something !)
http://freeschool.0id.org/?s=audio
Probably just a pre-chat is anyway idea without recording and you can be judge if my style is good enough for you.
I only edit best bits so it sounds it will sound even better and you get to give the all clear first...
it's mostly only between friends... or showing other how to make friends >-<
Just my suggestion
And even if not sure think about it for a bit...
P.S Here's some computer genre music while you think about it that I remixed! (Hope you like old school 8-bit with a modern take - also let me know if it's not (I'm not mind reader and also don't mind people being different to me! <some people don't get that! ) and it has a bit of humour mixed in also to keep listener entertained with this genre !
Again it's all about the fun! Hope you like!)

MASTODON MINI-JOKE / MINI-POKE
MAN 1 - What's your name and rank solider? ("what's your job")
MAN 2- Err... I like a lot of things? ("Some of x and some of y? And actually I think working for banks or government doesn't help oout position")
MAN 1- That's no good, you're either being evasive and uncover something and you're a hippie for sticking to nature and not uber-fast all-you-can-eat-tech... munch munch munch all that nature... and since I can't identify you in 5secs or 2 two messages you're obviously no use in my mentality of "snipers re the best and only wanted things in the world" and useless because "being average in everything is NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME"
so either I don't message back or go back to my den full of computers and other people similar (sometimes known as a hackerspace).
MAN 2 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Ooookay...
MAN 2 tries another person
GOTO LINE 3
SUMMARY
It is hard for me to say what I do other than love everything I do... it's not a job unless you want to call it simply 'living' or "consciousnesses choosing things"
I admit it's hard because I can - often those on the other side of conversation I think can't admit why they are so troubles by people who like many things or find it hard to explain. I have given people lists but I think that just makes it worse or they think I'm being sarcastic when it's not "1 main thing in life" or validated by government company as "job".
"Good grief" I hear a famous comic strip character say.
ACCUSATIONS / JUST BEING HUMAN
(LET'S DO BETTER YEAH?)
I personally don't mind accusation... it can just be part of feelings, we should allow it to so level but this is more about when the bar is so low and perhaps the internet just being a further magnification of personal weakness (in communication / self-confidence / looking at positives more than jumpingto wrong conclusions / judging book by the cover etc). This post is all about that.
So then after accusation I demand (or feel) some kind of recompense or something is in order so people reserve their accusations until it something a bit more with weight or substance other than feelings ^^
something like:
"right ok I see what you mean now" ("sorry" would be bonus)
or "oh yeah I am late and I do continually ignore your reminders even though I said I'd do it"
or
"oh you're just faster at running (writing) than I am and that's ok it's you're normal speed and I'm slow in comparison, how about let's talk instead of text ").
I want to say that people's feelings I don't discount but if they feel things *before* asking or finding out the reality *THEN* it's the wrong way around... and people put others in position to defend what didn't have substance other than replying fast (some people prefer this some don't) or being sticky on a point (banks undermine the rest of the world using % to slave-drive others / owned them / have slaves via the currency and negative maths)
------------------------------
EXAMPLE PEOPLE:
(INTRO) LOTS of nice chat happy. But strangely (illogically) even after perfect audio chat when back into text mode probably because of my speed or ability to solve points - people even in between nice stuff get the wrong idea or take it personal
recently EXAMPLE 1 @phryk who says very little but doesn't really want to hear but other than my 1 or 2 things I do (the kind of what's your 'job' mentality or "freeschool you asked to help me but I'm not prepared to participate in helping mutually or even myself" - that's a short version but not totally if but a good example of what can happen and game over DESPITE me writing a lot more.. I think this person just wanted to here "I'm a software engineer" and then could speak a language otherwise the "you came to me" attitude is just like "I can't be bothered" kind of thing. I sent links, asked them to look at stuff (which they did fair play) but that potential was over almost before it started.
Summary - need 2 to pollinate, trying to find mutuality or find open-but-personally-secure people is perhaps an issue in humanity.
------------------------------
recently EXAMPLE 2
https://social.synergetic-design.com/@leo/109043946327664783
Kinda nice guy but would have been better to say "I feel" or "I'm finding it hard..." (which language can be blamed being non-native English... but still easy to accuse someone taking over when I just gave a few fast suggestions...
I mean really if YOU or anyone has a project DO EXPECT SUGGESTIONS and even someone excited or happy to get to work or something...
It's almost like people don't want project to ever progress or be suggested by anyone lol
"no it's my project"-
"err I wasn't even thinking that"
{no reply conversation ends suddenly}
------------------------------
SUMMARY / LESSON TO SEE
------------------------------
So if people are doing #1 or #2 you can see how unlikely it is to get connection or anything done
#1 was like "you came to me, so what can you do as if I'm a mind reader and not saying anything about links send"
#2 was like "this is too fast for me but I can't tell you that or realise you're actually wanting to learn faster than I can perhaps provide", or "actually I'm also unsure about everyone and my politeness probably inverts my feelings thus short-circuiting myself" (without being able to say it)
and then who can blame bad guys at the same time for taking advantage (a separate issue 100%, but they see what people are like and make governments at the same time)
AND
the countless people I simply showed / solved / explained stuff and *suddenly* they would stop arguing in exactly the same way.... (to be honest when I am close to checkmate it's hard to fold the game or admit I was stupid in my last moves)..
So after that no sorry or much further... I guess if you can play chess you practise / any sport you gain humility or being able to speak even about feelings... and even enjoy it outwardly!
People think it's also ok to get the wrong idea about someone (or even be silent) and then not be responsible etc when they are wrong or called on it... and while I'd be ok with that it seems it's a lot more so I'm flagging it as a human thing 'NOT DOABLE' AS THE VERDICT without blaming anyone here.
Again take this information as personal to see life for what it is for me (without it making it about me but I contact lots of people as I'm faster than you so it's the same thing but you really see people)... insecure people or "only-happy-in-a-project" people which involves other elements not good (EU grants, Banks or whatever) and anyone I've see even on Mastodon break project / relationship problems from again 'communication' ....doh!
Solve that, you solve many things folks!
People really got to be able to test people out too. I respect those that tried and even half those that didn't. Just the way it is now- seriously no chance to collab or work mutually unless government supported or funded and that is besides actual the point! People who feel better in jobs and feel secure somehow also isn't quite right... but unfortunately those guys are much worse then any individual like me - *their professionals at what they do* / legal criminals / extracting energy for xyz reasons)
FINAL NOTE
I reserve the right to amend this - and before you get defensive over others- they did have chance of interaction and mostly left it unsaid on the last note so somewhat it's solved or left like that... so this is my life feedback to improve- those not interested just find something else to solve!
(and then realise it ALL comes back to communication relationship or even humanity over as WEAK AS FUCK)
Just accept it's the truth or around-about-the-truth as I see and I obviously have examples...
No damage to anyone intended but life has to stop at this kind of weak or literally broken stuff.
I don't know if others have this problem but the more it goes, the less I can surf the web.
I'm having all kinds of problems on the sites that I didn't previously have: logins that don't work, purchases that crash, pages that don't display, popups that I can't close, videos that don't launch, unclickable links and many more.
My browsers are quite recent, nothing fancy but being on debian and using Firefox ESR or Librewolf udpated during the last months.
@leo
BACK TO THE OLD / WHAT WORKS
Yeah basically that's the Achilles heal of tech with that mentality of getting people's attention, make it good, and then re-finance / re-wrap the whole thing (to get more money or change habits / coral fish further).
This is what S.T.E.M. doesn't really knowledge and some on my server don't even focus on just build build build! (balance and see which cycles we're in is important but it's hard for people to change when they realise who they are working for or when there is too many doing their job (software engineers).
Anyway a bit of digression BUT it's the same overkill and same not doing / seeing what loops we're in or become looped into.
Ungoogled people basically will just regress back to 2000's with a few new toys but old lasting longest / hardest to block :)
P.S / Reminder
Also by the way you said you'd update me / others about the use of the currency used at market - could you write something to me or us all about that?
(if feels like you actually forgot this and well... so anyway write me- thanks)
@james Keep up the good work!

@james
I think it was really well written and actually 5 years of anything is quite amazing considering so many things during these 5 years also!
And probably will always come down to personal changes if not being tired (as in; energy or too repetitive / uncreative / etc etc)
Again good writing (other admins maybe copy and paste it somewhere!)
MUSIC reMIX ^-^)
- FEEDBACK PLSE
It's supposed to send a message in an original way keeping you on your toes a bit with the slightly skipping music and mixed messages. Anything on that welcome or any potential you see do let me know.
SHOULD I DO MORE OF THESE?

@PiedraFiera ABOLISHION?
I like the sentiment but I'm not sure in the execution of it.
Could you paint the picture a bit more @PiedraFiera how it's possible or how you think of this term... without me expecting a perfect picture either, because let's face it where we're coming from is quite fucked up already.
@freeschool My favorite is "affordable housing" where 13 units out of 250 are $1400/mo.

@shrugdealer I like the picture
I also don't really like it too much when it's 'affordable' and basically just people still profiting when things get paid off or paid back (it's like greed vs super-greed and banks need to stop sucking our energy full stop using the debt that increases as long as people have a loan / borrow / keep it in the banks for them to re-use etc!

Songs are from SoundCloud which play direct though Mastodon player (natively) and hope there is not privacy problem there ⬇️
Also can go direct to SoundCloud page if not it doesn't work in Mastodon for the indie & electronic music: ⬇️
It's about changing / opening our minds...
I give people time and I thnk that's the difference to others online who really don't have or give time and give up on people really easy... (don't mean to be competitive, no put-downs, just I more dedicate time to others and weave us together).
So you don't even have to read any of this because EVERYTHING needs time + communication and without that a lot is broken and even less human even if it's for good...
Just follow and put notifications on to TEST MY FEED.... the rest below is just over-info for most poeple.
Open Learning School or Freedom University...
------------------------------------
A lot you might be at length and depth, but if you're easy about it, you can take the best and even take me along to understand life with others!
To learn and do everything practically! (this is a practical living (and gets stuff done as much as we can).
Fan of Fediverse!
Quick Look - peace-loving work / services:
█ Mini-Podcast (few mins each, examples below)
█ Picture remixes / video remixes
█ Lessons without being too 'teacher' about it. Teacher has teeth for eliminating doubt.
█ Food for thought as gentle soul also.
█ Unique ideas - often impossible for professionals (they are burdened by financial repsonsibility and therefore associational risk in saying things). I'm more diverse and occasionally direct (with respect, though I don't shy away from reminding people).
█ Not too embarrassing to say "I don't know" but can still chase things.
█ More responsive than casual users usually because people think having 'job' is enough in life. I say it's not! And even faimily is of no use if it's only getting worse (in everything!).
Podcast Examples:
1. Gary Ackerman's thoughts on AI
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111867522723922385
2. The Little Prince book

I help people create audio / edit educational audio / podcast / music / visual short videos / transcript text
+ I like to add a bit humour while being quite strict in my own politics (opinions) but open / inviting for others to tell me what I should do if they can explain more than just a short comment (I don't mind it's healthy for me at least if you have logic and can stand yourself explaining).
FreeSchool is about Learning towards Freedom (which is about Uniting everyone slowly, even "1 by 1"... Easy with The Fediverse!
Not virtue signalling here only, but practise of EVERYTHING as we go. Judged by getting in contact (many have) and having courage to communicate (or seeking it from others is ok, EVERYONE needs a bit of courage or hand-holding to make big personal changes). Who else is there for example if family doesn't understand?
Learning and watching can be good and staying out of people's way, BUT better is doing something every day and helping each other with some tough decisions / lessons... and then being bold enough to do them. 1... 2... 3 that is all that's needed.
Let my posts do most of the talking.
Put me on notification (click bell that appears after follow ia accepted) and if it's not interesting switch off after and tick me off the list of potential people to follow daily!
Media version of my posts here... open link for later... good for visual scrolling version and judge me on that I don't mind...
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/media
I'm usually impressed with my media gallery as I work on posts a lot usually or hit the "Aha!" moments and capture it (other people may forget it for years, not me!).
Freedom is about *making it work together* better like using #Mastodon on the #Fediverse daily for better platforms with more #bestpractices and 'best' people to help us which I kind of collect here and
when it's #1 comment!
I am measurably better because I reply and stick to everything to the end(!)
No cancelling friendship suddenly without saying why or being moody!
Freedom is to Learn, Respect and Love eventually and ️to Unite!
Practically it's also like Tetris - add yourself to the puzzle and watch it all happen...
█▬▄▀ ╚ ╦ ╝╠╧
talk more on Mastodon and the Fediverse and puzzle it all out using better ways to less use the other bad commercial / extractive people...
L£$$ of the less caring people like the ggl's / ytb / gmail / mainstream communication points etc who are offering lots of space 'free' and it's not free of peace there.
We GIVE to real people (TIME NOT JUST MONEY).
There's no buy-in solution - we have to make it with selotape or whatever we have - it's not shameful to bring whatever you have.
FreeSchool is terminology put together from many good things from past (coined in 1950's/60's. I / we become it eventually through being.
It's a movement for Freedom via Learning it all (learning self included and less active stuff) and doing the learning *together* --> https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeschool.
I encourage you warmly to participate with me as a I have time and then spiral out naturally to others (we are part of humanity and so naturally a sort of evangelism or ecological pyramid of life as we choose to spread lesser suffering while accepting consuming is part of it).
Less-commercial in orientation (in everything) and happy to think / work for free.
Naturally you will hesitate if someone is sure of themself or ok standing on shoulders what we copy do the best from humbly but not too sterile either.
Based on just emotions ruins almost everything, which seems very common - very ungraceful - so don't disconnect... do it gracefully at least!
A "school" of thought is here you can interact / ask and make best together as free/low cost as possible.
Even a bad answer you can take best from (of course I won't know all your situation when I suggest something but I don't need to answer 100% - you also need to help me!).
Leave perfectionism, we are all imperfect humans! Let's do it... Choose something ANYTHING and keep the thoughts rolling together...!
