  • I don't know you or your body, but I'm almost certain this is not true.

    I realise that it can feel that way, though... How are you? It sounds like you're in a rough place

    PS or a jokester :p

  • Disney especially has all but totally captured their target demographics, and not many working parents are likely to put the time into setting up a Plex and torrenting movies for their kid(s). Sadly, it's easier to shell over an unreasonably large fee, and let their kids have at it.

  • It's families. Dual income with several kids, yeah the fees sting, but when your cashflow is high and your savings nil, $200 a year doesn't sound crazy. It's not smart, and it's not fair, but if you know any parents of young children you can see how they could make that decision.

    My partner drives our neighbour's kids around sometimes, so we rack up seats on family streaming accounts that way.

  • Never had Disnkey, so this is more about Netflix. Back at the beginning, I didn't mind paying a fair price for a service that made discovery and streaming easy and convenient. Plus subscriptions going to fund more interesting content? Amazing! Yeah, it's a bit of platform capitalism, but the fees were reasonable and they spread the wealth in a way I agreed with.

    I'm still not against a service that keeps its fees reasonable for what it's providing.

  • Can't eat them and tax them at the same time 😞

  • Definitely. It feels good just moving around, checking things off your lists. 😌

  • Start with a bar, get your form down. Add weights very slowly (like you should be getting frustrated by how little weight you're lifting). Keep adding making sure form stays perfect. If back starts hurting drop down in weight, and start doing back and core and glute strengthening exercises. Continue.

    It's not a cure, but it's pretty close.

  • Me washing a dish and some muscles just decide to start hurting, like "go stretch old man we don't like this"

  • Rofl, yeah if it hadn't come so highly recommend I would not have stuck it out. Because at first I was put off by the very obviously stock Unity-looking visuals, floaty feeling physics... it wasn't a good first impression IMHO. But it made a great second, and third, and fourth impression 😉 Game just got deeper and more poetic the more I played

  • I don't know, and... I don't know.

    I was making a go of Wayland with Sway wm most recently. I'm back on the ol Xorg with i3 now.

  • Definitely work out more. It's just starting for me, and exercise has been a game changer

  • For me it's the ability to screenshare at work on Wayland.

  • I know websites that did, or at least remember an admin saying "please turn off ad blockers if you want to support the site"

  • When I first played I didn't even know that you left the starting town. It was just strongly recommended to me by a trusted friend, and I took their word for it, and bought it without even reading the store description. It was truly the kind of wonder producing experience that old gamers don't get often.

  • Volition may be one of the "boring" companions, but what it lacks in dynamism it makes up for by being uplifting.

  • It's interesting you bring up the controls, because that is one of the things that instantly grabbed me about the game. Before I even knew what was going on, I knew I absolutely loved moving around in the world. I used to spin up the game just to zip about for a half hour.

    But of course everyone is different. Not every game is for everyone. I really grew to love Outer Wilds more and more over the days.
