In what videogame you're currently stuck and you gave up or drop it for a while?
  • Elden Ring.

    Got stuck on the first "real boss" because I don't have time to practice and playing for 1-2 hours on weekends doesn't get me anywhere. I guess I'll wait till the holidays where I can take two weeks off and grind my way through the boss then.

    Do you have trouble explaining your job to people?
  • Oh yes, I usually end up saying "I work in insurance" because any more specific than that and people look at me with question marks in their faces

    What movie did you watch as I kid which you shouldn't have?
  • Starship trooper when I was still in kindergarten. The only thing I remember from this movie is the scene where the bug drills a hole in the soldiers head to drink his brain. Don't plan to watch this movie ever again in my life

    can't upload images from pixel 8 pro
  • Thanks for your reply! So I'm not the only one then. It would be very helpful if connect would show some indication that an image is being uploaded, I think having to wait 5 minutes and see if it did anything is a bit counterintuitive.

  • Hi there, I've got this issue that when I try to upload an image it just doesn't work. It doesn't give me any error messages, the image is simply not uploaded. I click upload and nothing happens. If it's a screenshot, sometimes it'll work, sometimes it won't. Connect doesn't give me any feedback if the image is uploading at all, or if the request was denied or ignored or whatever.

    The issue seems to be worse when trying to upload an image in a comment. Has anybody else encountered this problem?

    Anon plays Metro 2033
  • In the beginning when you explore one of the starting areas you can encounter a prostitute who offers herself for cheap. If you agree, she tells you to follow her into some backroom. However, there is a giant dude waiting inside who knocks you unconscious and takes all your money (it's scripted, you can't escape this fate once you enter the backroom).

    What is the worst restaurant you’ve ever been at?
  • We were in Croatia once at a beautiful little restaurant at the beach. The food was fine except it was completely cold when it was brought to our table. Not warm, not lukewarm, I mean cold. Sat on the counter over an hour cold.

    How does renouncing citizenship work?
  • Actually, dual citizenship in Germany is only allowed for a few select non-EU countries. For everyone else: first you apply for citizenship. Then they say citizenship will be granted, under the condition that you provide proof of revoking your previous citizenship within 2 years. Then you revoke your previous citizenship and give the confirmation to the immigration department. They will process it (during those weeks you are practically stateless) and grant you citizenship on this basis. Source: did this three years ago

    How to make showering not boring?
  • The water takes a couple minutes to warm up after it's turned off. If I were to turn off the water for each task, showering would take even longer as I wait for the water temperature to normalize itself again

  • It's a reference to an infamous 4 panel comic strip called "loss". It's one of them ancient memes from 2008. If I remember correctly, the story of the comic is that the dude rushes in to the hospital to find his pregnant wife had just lost their baby or something. If you dumb it down enough and reduce the characters to lines, you end up with

  • I miss rif

    I used to browse reddit on rif for years before the official app even released. The official app is like "can I have a reddit, mom?" - "we have reddit at home" Reddit at home: takes an eternity to load even if it's a text post, keeps recommending me stuff I didn't sub to, full of ads, screen is filled with full sized images so it takes a lot longer to see posts that I'm willing to click on...

    I miss rif. I used to lurk and look at memes on rif all the time, occasionally asking for advice on relationships or jobs or whatnot. I'm considering quitting reddit altogether, just found out about Lemmy. Is there a lotr memes or prequel memes community over here?
