Don't diss my pesto pear caramelized onion pizza.

Disagree. I've always understood it to mean approximately two. Usually 2-3; 4 isn't outlandish.

Unless that's the meaning, the expression doesn't have a reason to exist. So that's how I decide to interpret it.

I'm gonna be representative of the idiots here and ask:

I don't get the difference. Please help.

Rogue was the first, and thus the trend was named after it. There would need to be something extremely significant to override that. Someone would need to invent a catchier name and popularize it to the point that it starts competing with the old one and eventually overtake it.

It would need to be like what happened to the term "Doom clone".

I wonder if the same will happen with the term "soulslike".

My god, the amount of legacy crap in Windows.

They ought to just start over at some point.

To be honest I just look at the state of the world and laugh like I'm watching a sad comedy.

And I avoid thinking about how I'm in it and I have basically zero power over it.

I vote for whomever is the least bad candidate and try not to think about it too much the rest of the time.

Would that generally be enough to fix launch bugs? Genuine question; I almost always buy games when they're over a year old.

I expected it to be popular in China, but I didn't expect the ratio to be that skewed. Haven't we been hearing about this game for years?

I don't often buy new releases, especially not if I have a big backlog, but I've been interested in this game for quite a while.

Hey not just the EU. There are smaller initiatives in other countries, including Canada.

So, once I saw the beginning of a fight. Which was stopped after like a minute by the guard ladies.

Yeah, my school was tame as hell.

Elden Ring with the Seamless Coop mod looks like great fun if you enjoy that type of game. I've wanted to try it for a long time.

Holy shit that is dystopic as hell.

That article is so positive it almost reads like an ad. I'm suspicious, but hey if it can melt my phone last longer, I'll keep a gram of optimism.

A few days? Depending on the person's condition, it might turn out badly.

First, start with one day. Second, and most importantly, consult with a medical professional to make sure you don't have any counter-indications.

I sometimes don't even listen to the amount they say. I just hear a number and know it's time to use my card.

I wonder how much was mistakenly charged to me over the years.

I love to eat a bowl of them for breakfast. But sometimes I have trouble waking up and don't have time for them. Then I reach the weekend, looking forward to finally eating them... And half of them have spoiled. Damn it. I really wish they lasted longer.

Come to think of it, that's pretty much email, too.

75% automated notifications or stuff that isn't quite spam but you don't care about

23% spam

2% stuff that you better not miss

I'm talking about things that are possible. There wasn't any physically unavoidable reason the colonization of North America had to turn into the mess it did.

It was sparsely populated. It would have been possible for Europeans to negotiate in good faith, not kick people out of where they lived, and fairly compensate for any harm caused.

And in fact, while overall the result was overall pretty damn deplorable, you can dig in history and find some examples where it went well, at least for a while.

My point is that it's not that settling is not inherently borderline an act of war. It can easily, and it often does, turn out badly, no one's arguing against that.

But even though that's the case, there are degrees to these things. Between literal genocide and cultural harm, for instance.

Am I arguing that anyone SHOULD settle any area? Not really. But I'm also not willing to put literally every case in the same basket.

Hah, that's smart. I like that.

Also woo, dials. I hate how most ovens use capacitive buttons nowadays.

Thanks. I'll give it a try. I'd never found an alternative to Gboard that works as well when it comes to swipe typing, learning words missing from the dictionary, Japanese flick / handwriting input, and one-handed mode. It'll be big if this is finally it.

Edit: works well for an alpha. UI is unexpectedly polished. Gesture typing needs to get better, there's no one-handed mode yet and I need an option to shrink the UI a bit because right now it's huge. I'm really impressed with it so far though. Really nice that you can customize dictionaries and action buttons and stuff. Not quite baked enough for me yet but I see huge potential. I bought the premium version to support them and will be cheering for them while staying on Gboard for now.
