  • Walking regularly, reducing carbs intake, reducing alcohol intake.

    I don't have to be radical, it helps even when I sometimes go overboard on eating or drinking.

    It also keeps my head leveled. Plus I get to listen to a lot of podcasts.

  • I was very happy with The Print Shop. You could print huge signs and banners by stitching smaller pages together. Fun times.

  • It's not a new phenomena, but it seems to be growing.

    I remember when perfectly functional scanners and printers were ditched because the new Windows version would not support them and the vendor would not provide OEM drivers either.

    Nowadays they unplug some servers and you are left with an expensive doorstop. That's progress, I guess.

  • In the old days, Last.fm was good for discovering music I might like based on what I listen to.

    Nowadays I have this method (hear me out) that consists of drinking a bit too much, listening to favorites on YouTube and opening multiple tabs with what I suspect are good suggestions. This leads me into multiple rabbit holes where I occasionally strike gold.

  • effluencers

    It perfectly describes their contribution to this reality. Thank you.

  • I feel the same, I know that things will likely go downhill if he goes. That's why I also buy GoG games, I want to be able to download them if things go sour with Steam.

  • Depending on the aquifer the water temperature at the spring can be really cold, even in the warmest days.

  • To me it is the inverse of socializing. It's an escape to a world where I don't have to deal with people.

  • Faraway 1, 2 and 3.

    Really chill first person puzzle game.

  • There was the Homebrew Channel back then, but it seemed to have gone offline. I assumed people just lost interest and moved on.

    Based on what you said I did a quick search and found that there's still an active community around the console, so thank you!

    I'm updating my Homebrew Browser to see what's new.

  • Any platform that restricts how and what I can run in it has inherently less value to me. This is why I mostrly avoided consoles all my life.

    The only console I bought was the original Wii. The games were extremely expensive, and they disabled all the services that made the console useful after a few years (weather channel, news channel, store).

    Fortunately I added a few SNES, PCEngine, Genesis/Megadrive and Gamecube emulators otherwise I would now have a very pretty white doorstop.

  • We need more content like this. Fun, engaging, sarcastic, accurate.

  • You probably need them just to deal with the stress induced by teenagers.

    I really admire teachers, in my country they don't make much money and are subject to be placed hundreds of km away from their families for years.

  • That may be the reason. I play the GoG version on Linux and it's great.

  • I have never encountered the bugs you describe. Maybe you got a bad version?

  • This is one of the games that I always keep installed. Just chilling, gliding around, trying to climb higher and higher. Love it.

  • I'm learning Python. Not bad, but I prefer C.

  • I jumped to Tidal many years ago because Spotify could not be bothered to provide high quality output. Yes, you can ear the difference, even on shitty gear.

    For the stuff I could not get on either platform I started buying CDs on Discogs and ripping them to FLAC.

    Edit: ear, not eat.
