Aww man, the memories of making a garden base for Botania outside my friend’s Thaumcraft witch tower, across a river where your could see a Buildcraft quarry running next to someone’s industrial complex… Good times!

Tried playing Cobblemon with the idea to make our own themed towns but just like you there doesn’t seem to be time for it anymore :(

Bait used to be believable.

Paint.NET (note: not their URL sadly) is simple and will get the job done for 99% of your meme needs. I find Krita and alternatives are harder to use for simple edits because they’re designed for more complex tasks.

There are dozens of us! Dozens!!

I really hope Bigscreen manage to bring the cost down of their small headset because an affordable and comfy one might renew interest. It’s still very much an underexplored medium!

I find that most people I talk to had positive opinions of the late queen, but as you said are apathetic towards Charles at best and disturbed by Andrew. Prince William seems to be highly regarded though.

No they’re wrong in mathematics too. -5^2 is -25, but -5^2 is not the same as x^2 where x= -5. No brackets needed on x.

I’m so glad someone’s mentioned CrossCode! Such a wonderful experience from beginning to end. The world really feels alive with every inch of a mal being used to either enhance the story or hide a puzzle! I loved seeing chests and figuring out how to get to them across several maps.

I’m really looking forward to their next project, Alabaster Dawn. I hope it’s just as good!

I can’t imagine how infuriating that must be. How do you live with it?

I have extremely sensitive hearing. I can tell when there’s an animal scarer nearby.

This brings me to Microsoft Teams. You might have seen people mention that their dogs know when someone joins the call before they do. That’s because they introduced “ultrasonic howling” to detect if they’re in the same room as you, and mutes their mic.

It hurts like fucking hell with headphones on.

This is similar to what Rick Riordan (author of Percy Jackson) suggests in one of his other works - that the afterlife is simply whatever you believe it to be. It’s pretty comforting imo.

This was the last place I expected to see a rant about DbD! There are some trulyawful people in the community, from playing just to waste other people’s time to getting into “us vs them” arguments and hurling insults. I’m glad there’s a few people who go above and beyond to set good examples.

On topic, I don’t get how even if Behaviour retconned characters to be different sexualities impacts our ability to enjoy the game at all. It’s not like the pride charms are going to hurt you, lol!

I am coping hard for a Kid Icarus: Uprising remake using this. We know Sakurai has been working on something, and I’d hate for it to just be a new smash.

They don’t need to have an even share of the available space. Give more to the side that needs it.

Yep! Specifically Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, remakes of the generation 3 games. It introduced “Primal” forms of the legendaries Groundon and Kyogre which is what you see in the image. It’s supposed to be them at their peak power.

Windows users could boot into safe mode and modify/delete the problem file. There just wasn’t any tool to roll out this fix ‘automatically’.

Once IT dealt with it I stopped paying attention to the situation, but I wonder if any tool was created to help the poor souls managing thousands of PCs?

Of all the reasons to hate these messaging apps, it’s because messages last forever? I’d get it if you were concerned that private companies don’t really delete your messages, but you know the average person using these apps actually does want their messages to last?

Game mechanics can be patented. It’s stupid, but things such as “loading screen mini games” and “overhead arrows pointing to your objective” have been patented. The second I believe even got enforced once.

I think these kind of things have been getting approved less and less, but I wouldn’t be surprised if “balls that contain monsters” was patented back in the early days too.

Don’t forget about moderation. It’s all fun and games until someone starts posting hate speech, copyrighted material, porn (legal or otherwise) or worse…

The guy wasn’t talking about vaping though, but smoking. The one we know for sure gives you a ton of issues and health problems.

Whilst I agree it’s not a great analogy for right wing beliefs, I’d say it works as a good analogy for incel behaviour. I knew a guy who had fallen into that trap but managed to find his way out. When I asked him about it, he said it helped him cope, that it was easier to believe that it wasn’t his fault things were so shitty.

I really respect how he was able to realise that the things he and the people around him were saying was bullshit, and it made me realise that a lot of these people are being taken advantage of by “influencers” spewing this harmful rhetoric.

Ah yes, Europe never had to deal with such far right-wingers. We’d like borrow the term you guys came up with to describe them in case we ever face such violent fascists. What was it again?

Oh right, Nazis.
