  • Agree. I think that about watches too. Beyond a fashion accessory, I can't find them useful. I've had good watches, cheap watches, digital and automatic. Not only do they feel weird on my skin, my phone can do the job better.

  • I agree. Honestly the only social media I use is Whatsapp (irl friends), Discord (hobby centric), and lemmy (hobby centric). I used to have a facebook, twitter, and instagram. They've been pretty much abandoned for a long time now. Only ever upload art to my instagram every now and then in case I get any new clients but marketing myself is so hard, I've put minimal effort in it. I prefer to spend my idle time in things i actually enjoy now.

  • Don't use paper filters, but I'd assume to avoid channeling in the coffee grounds. Water will always go through the path of least resistance, maybe by having the entire filter wet you lessens the chances of overextracing some parts of the grounds and underextracting others.

    I did read that some people do it to remove paper taste, but that seems a little weird. Edit: i was wrong.

  • Same. I struggle with architectural photography but I took a really nice one on a trip to London. It's abstract enough you can't place it due to composition. I'm using it as a background on all my devices.

  • Rimworld. Did the standard start (industrial with 3 pawns) on cass. Died of hunger. Uninstalled the game.

    Next week I was bored at my intership and redownloaded it and gave it another shot. Now I have close to 4k hours in Rimworld.

    Same thing happened with Crusader Kings, funnily enough.

    Edit: oh, that happened with M&B: Warband and Kenshi as well.

  • Idk, honestly. I might be ace, demi ace at least. Closest to attraction I've ever felt is interest due to vibes. Like, some people look like they could hold an interesting convo or might have cool hobbies. And not necessarily talking about how they dress or look, but because of how they carry themselves. Someone being traditionally beautiful does nothing for me.

    Though I consider attraction to be different from chemistry. I've had chemistry with folk I'm not attracted to, and I've been "attracted" to people I have no chemistry with. The latter is the worst.

  • 5e might be easier to grasp than previous editions, and even easier to play than other TTRPGs, but even then. I started playing DnD after my second playthrough of BG3, and even having some experience with CRPGs, reading through the DM book, PHB, and all the sourcebooks I totally legally acquired, felt like trying to map a room with my eyes closed. Bg3 streamlines the math, but the complexity is still there.

    Half of all the time I've spent as a DM has been spent devising homebrews to streamline the game further.

  • Yup. D2 has the worst new player experience of any game I've played. But at the end of the day, it's just about knowing where the daily solo dungeon is, so you can grind Light level. Raids are complicated though, because a lot of them are like puzzles.

    Stopped playing it because of how money hungry the game is.

  • I don't know I'd qualify Rimworld as complicated, honestly. It has more moving parts than The Sims, sure, but it is nowhere near how complicated EU4 seems (I haven't played it, it scares me, but CK is another good example).

  • Skyrim, after lots of years of not playing it. Tried a couple modpacks and collections and they either have horny mods, bad performance, or are unbalanced in regards to difficulty. Like, I can accept dying a lot, I have hundreds of hours on soulslike games. What I can't accept is dying because of jank, and as good as a mod might be made, it still interacts with a janky engine. Even scriptless mods end up janky sometimes. I'm building my own modpack instead, choosing simple mods for modularity. Not gonna bash nothing so it will probably end up a little basic, but eh. Playing this to tide me over for whenever an Elden Ring or Baldur's Gate expansion drops.

    Apart from that, Baldur's gate and Zomboid with friends. And the good ol classic, Rimworld.

    Also, I'm a new DM and decided to fuck myself thrice over. I'm designing a whole new homebrew to play in an ASOIAF setting. It requires whole redesigns of classes, weapon systems, mechanics, etc. My players are excited for it though, I've been dropping sneak peeks and they've responded well.

  • Same. I love trying out different cultures foods, or trying new things with my own cultures. I've had people ask me why I don't do it professionally but reading Kitchen Confidential killed any potential that idea had. I've enough mental issues as a graphic designer.
