I've warned basically everyone to temper their expectations with palword cause I played their previous game which absolutely is just a janky ass asset flip, but palworld is actually slightly more competent and has been a bit enjoyable. Despite the crap with the differences between steam and game pass versions, I mean.

The discourse around the game has been baffling. First of all, anyone bringing up AI... Like... What? I'm not sure what they think current AI models do. And even the criticisms I agree with - some of the designs are straight up just the bottom half of one pokemon with the top half of another - are absolutely demented. I saw a long thread talking about certain pals and what pokemon they were ripping off and a good portion of them were wrong (it was ripping off a totally different pokemon) or not knowing about the base (usually Japanese) thing that both designs were based off of. Some people have just gone absolutely fucking rabid. I don't understand how they live like this.

Fucks up what I expect the arrow keys to do in Excel is what.

There are absolutely differences in signal quality in phones, but nobody ever mentions it because the equipment needed to properly test it is extremely costly and technical.

It's one of the things the LTT Labs are trying to set up to do. RF shielded test generator and a spectrum analyzer and generator... The spectrum analyzer by itself costs upwards of $100k USD.

So hopefully, eventually, you'll be able to see signal quality metrics from at least one place.

Yeah, I'm not even particularly into hololive besides very occasionally watching some highlight videos. The game is amazing. And free. I played the absolute hell out of it after giving it a shot, just like I did with vampire survivors.

I started a new playthrough when phantom liberty released and I feel like I've had more game-breaking bugs than I did at launch. The ones I had at launch were mostly cosmetic, animation bugs, t-posing, Jackie eating his noodles with chopsticks that left a clone of themselves in the box, etc. This time I had to reload saves because, for example, Jackie just didn't get in my car at the start and so it never unlocked the controls so I was just stuck in a car forever.

That being said, the gameplay systems are massively improved, even if it still can be a bit buggy, and it's well worth a play. I just need to wait for mods to update for 2.1.

I got some nice keycaps when I was building my first mechanical keyboard. Aside from that... Soldering gear, 3D printer parts... Cat toys, preflashed smart bulbs (so I can use them completely locally with home assistant), magnets.. And generally any time I see something on Amazon that clearly is just rebranded Chinese stuff, and I don't need it quickly, I can find it on there for a fraction of the price.

Yeah, I use their OBS version since I had a few issues with OBS and the normal one. My cat likes to sleep on my computer and I needed another camera to point at her when streaming... And then I realised I didn't need to buy one because I had old phones with good cameras in my desk drawer. Just got a cheap mount to hold my old xiaomi mi 9 SE. Looks fantastic, works well.

Not a lie, have a good relationship with my mum. Still holds true when she had some in Amsterdam again recently. 😅

Was far more than just sleepy. She'd zonk out immediately.

Never used it myself, but my mother has told me when she was much younger she tried pot a few times and stopped because it just put her to sleep, and this was well before the strong strains we have today.

I backed it on kickstarter, and played it again recently. It's pretty good now!

I mean, it was way better than what you describe for a LONG time, but it's gone through so many updates now that it's far better than it was even on launch.

I never have enough socks. I always need more socks. Fun ones, though.

They have these on bluesky. You can subscribe to them. I mostly use them for blocking niche content I'm not interested in... That and the susprising amount of dick pics.

Looks cool as heck. I won't ever get this specifically because I need a 100% keyboard (love my Q6) for both productivity and gaming, but I am definitely interested in this technology.

Absolutely adored robocop and cobalt core. Definitely picking up both of them. Robocop nailed everything that made the movie great, cobalt core oozed charm and had fun gameplay.

I had meant to try the thaumaturge but by the time I got around to it, next fest was over and I couldn't play the demo anymore. These time limited demos are a really stupid idea. I'm way less likely to buy it now because those sorts of games are hit or miss for me.

Personally, I blame the government.

I'm on vyvanse, and I'll frequently forget to eat. Setting reminders or alarms really helps. I outsource a lot of my memory to my phone and smartwatch. Sometimes I will just have nothing but a couple of lattes and then notice it's 10pm and I haven't eaten a proper meal. At least theres energy there from the full cream milk, but still, not good...

Just don't forget how effective the meds are, especially if you're prone to depression. I once stopped taking them when I was majorly depressed, and sometime after that I was helping my dad at his workplace, digitising records for him. I found some of my old Ritalin (not expired yet) and decided to try it again, and the difference in how many records I got to was like night and day, it was seriously like 5× the amount. Since then I've bounced around a few different meds and dosages before recently settling on vyvanse, which has the strongest effect but least side effects of them all for me. Ritalin was probably the strongest but had the most unpleasant side effects for me.

You're right, we should let these vile scammers prey on vulnerable people when they're at their most hopeless. They don't deserve their money! They won't have any use for it!

I'm not American and it's still widely used in my country.

Removal of SMS was a brain-dead move.

SMS is not going anywhere on a global scale and removing SMS meant everyone I had convinced to install signal because it was a drop-in messaging replacement for SMS has immediately stopped using signal. It's now completely DOA for anyone that isn't a tech privacy evangelist.
