Nowadays it's actually "Do the right thing (for the shareholders)"

Why the fuck did they not sign this?

Boris Johnson (aka NATO) told them to die to the last Ukrainian instead. Literally "the west [wasn't] ready for the war to end".

Perhaps he could pay $1m to one hitman instead.

Pedestrians are forming a United Front with the cyclists until cars are abolished. Their time will come after the car drivers are stamped out.

Doesn't it have something like a two-hour battery life? Feel like that excludes it from being something you carry around with you like a phone.

Some of us never stopped

It was a thing last... summer? Where reddit announced they were going to start charging for every call a third party program made using the API. This was done with the intent of shutting down 3rd party reddit apps and to get users on the official one so reddit could make more money. However, it also destroyed a bunch of 3rd party tools that mods more or less needed, and which reddit had been promising to implement themselves for years with no progress. There was a brief protest where mods of many subs shut them down (mostly for less than a week, though some are still down IIRC). A bunch of users and moderators left reddit and went to other sites.

I use UBO and have definitely noticed videos stuttering in the last week or two.

No idea lol. As far as I know it's a default part of lemmy and the default defed is by blacklist.

Hexbear uses a whitelist so they have to be on the allowed instances list.

Nah they defeded us. IIRC it was over drama with chasers and vaushites in /c/196.

Should've just thrown him in a

1. Do you realize what comm you're in?
2. If pointing out that EVs aren't a real solution is enough to alienate those "allies" they weren't really allies at all. It's also less about individual choice to move to areas with better transit, and more about pressuring the government to install better transit everywhere instead of just funneling endless money to car manufacturers.

IIRC there's some evidence that cold temperatures weaken the immune system. Assuming it's valid, that does mean that cold could be the deciding factor between contracting a cold or fighting if off.

Now obviously germ theory is correct and it takes external infection to catch a cold, but it's a pretty safe bet you're being more or less constantly exposed to COVID and the flu whenever you're in an indoor public space.

Vietnam is just the US' version of the "stabbed in the back" myth. WE WOULD'VE WON IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE DAMN HIPPIES!

story-driven games

Disco Elysium is a great story, so long as you enjoy reading/listening to lots of dialogue because there's not much other gameplay. Baldur's Gate 3 is technically on sale, but it's only 10% so eh; maybe Divinity Original Sin 2?

Souls games

Both Sekiro and Elden Ring are fantastic, my only caveats would be that Sekiro doesn't really have character customization so if you love that part of soulsborne it might fall a bit flat, and Elden Ring can start to drag if you have a completionist mindset and go out of your way to complete every little side dungeon.

strategy games

I've heard decent things about Midnight Suns which is on a pretty deep sale. The Total War Warhammer games are good fun, though there is a fuckload of DLC, and the third game apparently has major issues.

GTA-like games

Mafia 3 is close, but 1 and 2 don't really have much to do in the open world IIRC. The Saints Row games are hella cheap (do note that 2 needs a mod to be stable and even then it'll crash occasionally) EDIT: Don't get the newest one, just called "Saint's Row", it's terrible. Cyberpunk 2077 maybe qualifies?

Doesn't fit any of those categories, but I will always recommend Outer Wilds, a fantastic exploration/puzzle game that I wish I could play again for the first time.

Lastly, piracy is always the correct thing to do, but if you insist on paying for games, at least consider using piracy as a demo.

And looks like we're going into 46 in a few weeks.
