“Dopamine Nation” is a good book on this whole issue. I really wonder how much the dead internet theory might play a role in eventually breaking this cycle, or just younger generations being contrarian to older generations.
I stream on https://twitch.tv/imperorthefirst and run https://www.youtube.com/@Imperor dedicated to longform gameplay of grand strategy, 4X and TTRPG games. My main goal is helping people get into more complex games!

Imperor@lemmy.worldto Hardware@lemmy.world•Spain is about to face the challenge of a “black start”English5·19 days agoCompletely mind boggling what’s going on there. The amount of work to be put in to fix all this is enormous. I truly wish everyone involved nerves of steel and the best of luck.

Imperor@lemmy.worldOPto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Switching to Linux Mint in 2025 - YouTubeEnglish3·1 month agoThank you, appreciate it! Added the link to the body of it, too.
Imperor@lemmy.worldOPto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Switching to Linux Mint in 2025 - YouTubeEnglish21·1 month agoHey, I don’t quite understand your point. It’s entirely about the process and thoughts around migrating to Linux from the point of view of someone who has never attempted it. It’s about adaptation. If it does not fit the sub, I do apologize for crossposting here and will not do so in the future.
Imperor@lemmy.worldOPto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Switching to Linux Mint in 2025 - YouTubeEnglish3·1 month agoI posted the link in the original post, seems to have gotten lost, sorry. As others have said, it’s a video essay where I talk about the experience of it.
I do apologise if that doesn’t fit this sub. I had to fight a bit through stuff because I game and stream and that was what held me back from attempting it in the first place. Here’s the link :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoYW6HEVBCI
Imperor@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Warcraft 1 and 2 Remastered and the long-awaited 2.0 patch update for Warcraft 3: Reforged have just launched on PC for Warcraft's 30th anniversaryEnglish111·6 months agoIf the remastered versions add modern controls that’d be super. It’s the main gripe I have with the older games besides low resolutions.
Imperor@lemmy.worldtopolitics @lemmy.world•Lawmakers Reject Bill That Would Let Trump Destroy NonprofitsEnglish22·6 months agoWouldn’t have thought they could do it, but very happy they did. Let’s see how long it lasts.
Imperor@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•An excess of billionaires is destabilising politics – just as academics predictedEnglish25·7 months agoI truly believe the world would be a much better place if there was a clear cutoff for wealth. But of course, there would still be weasles out there circumventing such measures. Greed is such an incredibly harmful thing.
Not a single redeeming thing about billionaires. Not a single one. Their “philanthropy” would be entirely unneeded, if they simply paid their fair share back to society, without which they wouldn’t have what they have in the first place.
Imperor@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Am i the only one who feels like it's the same handful of users posting and commenting on lemmy?English2·7 months agoI don’t post nearly as much as I would like, because I post some stream related stuff in my own community on lemmy and don’t know want to come off as someone who is trying to advertise all the time. I have been reported for that posting to my own community, which… ya know. I get it, nobody cares about yet another streamer dude, but it is a bit intimidating almost.
Imperor@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•Spectre Divide lowers skin prices just hours after launch: 'We took a swing that we thought would best set us up to support the game. Turns out we swung a bit high'English25·9 months ago“We thought the unwashed masses would kill each other for the chance to give us all their money for something intangible and entirely devoid of value, but it appears they are even poorer than we thought they were.”
Tonight on stream I decided my first piece of merch will be a sleeping blindfold with the eyes of my avatar on it.
Now I only need about 15.000 more followers and 1500 more subscribers on twitch to make it actually a viable thing.
Imperor@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Putin seizes $100m from Google to fund Russia’s war machine (in 2020)English8·9 months agoSadly they did not kick his ass. They sort of settled in the end, but they lost their special status and self governance stuff to a board controlled by DeSantis but he put a few pro Disney faces on that board to get it all to settle. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_v._DeSantis
Imperor@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Putin seizes $100m from Google to fund Russia’s war machine (in 2020)English175·9 months agoI don’t know. Disney lost against Ron DeSantis on home turf. Not quite sure what they are going to do against a foreign actor.
Imperor@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I realize I may get some divisive answers, but if NATO Countries all agreed, mobilized, and went into Russia full force with no warning, what are the likely outcomes?English292·9 months agoThe US and the USSR engaged in a race to have the most nukes. After the fall of the Sowjet Union international treaties were put in place to reduce the number of nukes in both east and west.
Don’t quote me, but if I remember correctly, at the height of the cold war, both sides had more than 12.000 nukes each.
Humanity had enough fire power to delete the entire globe roughly 40x over then. Why? Because bigger is better.
Imperor@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Dutch beach volleyball player convicted of rape says he considered quitting the OlympicsEnglish2·9 months agoAh yes, the rapist doesn’t want others to have power over him. Who would have guessed. Fuck him and fuck the panel that decided he could ever join.
If you stop and think about it, it is kind of crazy that there is one country on earth with no speed limit stretches. As German drivers, we learn driving on a different level just due to that reason alone. It’s pretty neat.
Anyone who might be surprised that Germany is so low here, Germans are always surprised people think it would be very high.
There is a simple reason, too: Auto-Lobby. Our car manufacturers are very powerful in politics and public infrastructure is heavily underfunded.
Funnily enough, highways and other roads are also crumbling, so good luck to the car makers when there is less and less road to drive those precious machines on.
Imperor@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•After 3,878 days in early access, zombie survival game 7 Days to Die finally releasesEnglish191·10 months agoI only picked it up recently and I have put in 230+ hours (granted, some on stream) but I think it is one of the most fun survival games out there for me and a great zombie themed game overall.
I really appreciate the inventory handling, that there are no bosses and just zombies to deal with. My only gripe is - as with many of these games - that there isn’t a real end to a playthrough. But such is the nature of a sandbox.
Absolutely not worth the full price tag, but on sale it’s an easy recommendation from me.
This AR obsession is utterly baffling to me. There are so few real applications and the hardware requirements are insane so it’s not something that will get widely adapted anyway. Sure in a decade or so it might have matured enough to have shed all these issues, but AR/VR feels like a really out of touch thing to prusue, especially if you look at the garbage ideas they have on how to use it - virtual meetings??
I get movies and games on these, possibly even some recording and porn, but these are not their B2B wet dreams anyway.
