I was a kbin.social user and I migrated over to kbin.earth after it went down.

If you still haven’t tried anything FromSoft has made in the past decade, please do.
JamesBean@kbin.earthto Technology@lemmy.world•AI-generated poetry is indistinguishable from human-written poetry and is rated more favorably - Scientific Reports241·6 months agoThey specify in the study that the participants were “non-expert poetry readers.” I’d be interested to see the same experiment repeated with English professors, or even just English majors. Folks with a lot of experience reading poetry. With exposure to its history, its notable works, and its different styles.
There was a moment in my life when I thought that perhaps I was outgrowing games… that they were just not really designed for the entertainment of adult human beings in a way that could satisfy me. Not one of my old stand-bys could, as you said, “scratch the itch” or provide “the same enjoyment that it used to.” I found myself spending more time with films and books.
Then I got into FromSoft games and indie titles, and within a year I realized games still held incredible experiences for me. I hadn’t outgrown games. I had only outgrown the bland slop represented by most AAA releases, and especially by online multiplayer releases. Personally, I’d recommend giving up on looking for a new 1000+ hour obsession. Instead I’d recommend seeking a broad array of 10-100 hour loves. If you haven’t already tried them, for me a love of gaming was saved primarily by: Dark Souls, FTL, Spelunky, and Hollow Knight.

JamesBean@kbin.earthto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What can I do with US$10K that is a good investment?7·7 months agoVanguard recently started offering a savings account that currently has a 4.15% APY (their ‘cash plus’ account).
If OP wants to park the money in a savings account for easier access than a mutual fund, that’s both a more reliable institution and a better rate.
Maybe a really nice edition of a book you already love, from a luxury publisher like The Folio Society or Easton Press?
