  • I recently learned grenadine is called that because it used to be made from pomegranate juice, NOT because it was from Grenada.

  • I had no idea this was ported to mobile, thank you for informing me. May all your pillows be your preferred temperature for sleeping on both sides for the rest of your life.

  • Do they not have lactose-free cream where you live?

    People conflate lactose intolerance with a dairy allergy, but lactose is a sugar that is easily removed during processing of milk/cream, and there's a lot of milk products nowadays that have lactose removed (milk, cream, half&half) or never had lactose to begin with (most hard cheeses).

  • I actually have MS Seattle HQ address as my Xbox address lol

  • I'm so confused, this game has 94% on metacritic and a "very positive" reception on Steam (91% with 4 000+ reviews). This headline is clickbait as hell, and the comments here are assuming Metaphor: Refantazio got mixed reviews/flamed on socials when it didn't.

    The article is just reporting a discussion Katsura Hashino had with Toyama (the creator of Silent Hill) on their views on fan feedback.

    This is why I don't care to read Eurogamer articles (and also their cookie preferences with 600+ partners, wtf).

    (Also, both Refantazio and the Silent Hill 2 remake are pretty good. Can't believe I have to praise Konami in 2024 🤮)

  • Meanwhile I've been getting assblasted with ads for it on every whitelisted app/site. I knew this game existed since it was announced in 2016, I am an avid SMT/Persona player. Why tf am I getting the ads?

    Marketing team fucked something up in the targeting.

  • In June 2022, a federal appeals court affirmed Donziger's criminal contempt conviction. In March 2023, the Supreme Court declined to hear further appeals.

    I'm shocked.

  • Fuck TMZ for posting his dead body yesterday just to prove they were the ones "breaking the news". That shit was cached my news reader even after they removed it.

  • Wym "just as", those sponsored links for Firefox have been around for a while, haven't they? I definitely remember turning that setting off a while ago.

  • Same account options as yours here on mobile, marketing is also off for me.

    Thanks for comparing notes!

  • I have no doubt there is at least one small, enthusiastic group in Tokyo dedicated to building/promoting miniPCs lol. That city has a niche for EVERYTHING that has penetrated Japanese social consciousness.

  • I don't even see this option on my account. Old Canadian account, but my phone/Paypal app is EU.

  • ...well that's just great, I wish someone had told me this before my eyesight was at -6.00

  • My history teacher said that the greatest curse you can give someone is telling them "May you live in interesting times" and boy do I feel that now.

  • Net cafes are already a thing there, but personal gaming at home has always been dominated by the portable market or consoles, partially because Japanese companies are the ones making 2/3 of them, but also because the majority of the "gaming" demographic are younger people who live in small studio apartments in Tokyo, and would opt to have a TV with cable television and consoles in their living rooms.

    With streaming becoming a big thing, at home media centres are slowly shifting to personal laptops (especially during the pandemic). I have maybe seen two actual gaming PC towers when I lived there (because again, you can go to a net cafe/PC bang for that), but a lot of the gamers I knew were slowly shifting to modest gaming laptops for their at home setups.

  • I think my eyesight getting progressively worse every year is a bigger contributor to the glasses industry than planned obsolescence 😭

  • Yeah, honestly I tuned it for a bit and was shocked at how shocked I was about the debate being just a normal(ish) political debate.

    It's bothering me how desensitized I've become to Trumpian rhetoric in politics, not only in the USA, but globally. Almost a decade of this shit in the public, and a whole new generation of voters who think it's normal, too. It's pissing me off.

  • I should have guessed you'd be a gaming connoisseur and already had played AW1 just based on your daily posts (which I enjoy daily too btw).

    But playing Alan Wake 1+DLCs more than twice? Damn, you're not a lake, you're an ocean 😭
