I hate how every AAA game has to be an open world sandbox with loads of extra features. I just want a good story and strong core gameplay.

Oven heat cán melt chocolate chips!

Yeah, it sounds like a great starting point if you want to work for a local government.

Yeah, scrounging gaming websites to find the right patch files could be a real pain in the ass, especially before Google.

PC Gamer shows clearly who wrote the article, and generally they'll be clear about what subjective reasons they had for their final verdict.

Personally, I feel they are prone to buying into marketing hype, but at least you can tell when that is the case.

Sorry, didn't get a notification.

Yeah, it's basically at high school level, so most of the adult population should be able to understand it without much issue.

Yeah, it's easy:

• eat less
• no fast food
• no sugary shit
• eat less
• lots of fruit and vegetables
• lots of water
• eat less

That's basically all there is to it if you're not trying to get a six pack. It takes some time to get used to, but then your body will start figuring out things by itself (like '"I need more vitamins" and "I hate feeling bloated because of empty calories").

In the Netherlands there are plenty of online retailers like Coolblue who are doing well by competing on quality and customer service, despite prices being a bit higher (ironically). Next working day delivery is standard, so that isn't an issue.

Bol.com is also really successful and much like Amazon, including its problems.

I assume this is because of a first mover advantage; for a long time, Amazon was only available in the UK, Germany and France*, so that created a major disadvantage. I'm guessing this might apply to a lot of smaller European countries.

*maybe other countries too, but at any rate not in the Benelux.

Considering busywork, many online texts are unnecessarily long in order to fit as many ads in between as possible. I've encountered texts (even about academic subjects) that are practically unreadable if you don't skim them, because they're not meant to be read closely.

Everyone knows what it's like to look up information on the internet nowadays: most of your time is spent on scrolling or clicking past ads and scanning webpages until you've found a source that's actually useful.

I think a lot of people have been trained to skim online texts because they're designed explicitly to waste your time.

There's a difference between simplifying a message and writing at a lower reading comprehension level. I think a lot of accidental incomprehension might just be caused by the reader not being very good at reading English.

In my country (and I think the whole EU), government agencies have to write at a B1 level to make sure official publications and letters are accessible to all citizens. I think that's a good rule of thumb for online conversations as well. (However, writing pleasant prose at B1 level is a whole different beast. Generally, they're not very good at it.)

Maybe we should ask spez to come over and help generate engagement :P

You can open a csv in Excel and edit it like a regular spreadsheet.

It's why I've gone back to reading an old school newspaper. The format naturally limits the amount of bad news they can fit in a day, and it has regular sections on art, culture, philosophy, nature etc.

Watering can. Hoses use too much water.

You can use lewy.world to make an NSFW account.

There were software tutorials before Youtube, and there will be after.

Personally, I hate having to watch a video to learn something because reading a text is just so much faster.

It is a very good transcription, though.

The Netherlands please, although I'm more interested in regionalised pricing for the Ultra subscriptions.

And, was it good?
