  • Awww congratulations!!!!

  • So the only part that is our responsibility is our backyard within our fence. Everything else is done by some landscapers once a week. I can't recall immediately if there are exact rules on how our backyard needs to be maintained, but our across the way neighbors who we've become friends with have said if a lawn gets completely overrun in weeds some neighbors may complain but really most people in the neighborhood are pretty chill

  • That is quite unfortunate. However it seems like it could lead to more affordable gpus that do well enough? That would be nice at least

  • Thanks for the tips! It's been an interesting process so far. Right now lots of weeds growing which I don't care too much about, however the HOA might get annoyed...

    The thyme seems nice although it's not native to the pnw from what I understand and would like to try and have something native if possible

  • I moved into a new place in May and have been having to deal with something I've never had before... a yard

    It's been a learning experience. And I want nothing more than to get rid of all the grass and do something more low maintenance. Neighbors have some creeping thyme in their yard which seems quite nice. That or clover. Also was left some planter boxes that have some sage growing in them that we're trying to find uses for. And as a sort of house warming thing a friend of mine got me some carrot and lettuce seeds!

  • Dang I never noticed that! My partner has an iPad we use in the kitchen when cooking and that has a really nice landscape mode thankfully... It should exist on phones too though that's unfortunate

  • Outer wilds deserves the number 1 spot and I will not hear otherwise 😤

  • Not open source but figured I'd shout out paprika anyway since that's what my partner and I use. It's really handy for us since it syncs between our phones and we can add stuff to the grocery list from either device and it also has meal planning stuff. It's also super easy to import recipes from websites using a built in tool they have

  • Similar boat. I've tried with friends on numerous occasions and it's never clicked for me. I will say MH rise and the wolf mounts and weird grapple shot thing got me the closest to getting into one. The movement those 2 afforded made the game feel better to me.

  • Skip usually has nothing worthwhile to say, but if he's hating on the cowboys you know it's bad

  • We salute you 🫡

    Also for being the only one to remember gaming has a meme Monday lol

  • I mean I suppose you can look at it that way. We can't really prove one way or another what he actually wanted. But if we're basing what he wanted on his actions, I don't see how you can pin that one on him. Like he tried to get a public option, the president can't just make universal healthcare. It needs to pass the house and Senate.

    Idk about the others in your original comment and I won't pretend to, but it's pretty well documented that he would not have been able to get even a public option. How would he have been able to get universal healthcare if he couldn't even do this?

  • I won't pretend to be an expert on much of this, but I feel it's wrong to say that he had the power to enact universal healthcare? Obama couldn't even get a public option (which he wanted) because he had to make concessions to get a veto proof majority. I don't see if this was the case that he had the power to enact full blown universal healthcare

  • God the M's are so depressing rn. We started off so good this season. I was kind of hopeful about Dan Wilson just cause he's a Seattle legend but oof. Things don't look great

  • Tbh the fact you even know a character's name makes you an expert in my book. You know more than anyone I've ever talked to! 😅

  • It's def not a great look but it's also only 1 former dev. I'm not going to judge the whole team on the words of 1 person who isn't working there anymore

  • I feel like short of making it free to play and having a complete art style rework this game doesn't have great hopes of ever being relevant. I mean from what I've gathered the gameplay itself is decent to good. But yeah they just misfired so hard with this.

    Despite it all, I feel bad for the majority of devs who spent so much of their life working on this and who are likely going to be out of a job. Of course I don't know anything about the inner workings, but I'd be willing to bet it's not most of their fault's that sony had been pushing so hard for live service stuff under their former leadership

  • I mean that's one way to look at it I suppose. However I don't think the story being secondary to gameplay means we have to discount what is there available to us. Like if you want to ignore it that's fine but I don't think you can say it's wholesale not canon.

    Edit: also want to say I am not taking this link as gospel, but just showing how the words can be interpreted many ways.

    Also the newest timeline is on display at the official Nintendo live event in Sydney, which I would argue is more legit than a licensed book

    Regardless it's not really that important, so if people like the timeline, who cares? Nintendo clearly acknowledges it, and the devs don't use it when making new games. Both can be true
