Have you tried Apple’s included “News” app? I’m in the US, so I’m not sure how well it would work for you. But Apple generally doesn’t sell your data, although I’m sure they do analytics for internal use.

I use that, Ground News, and daily digest emails from my local city newspaper and the indie neighborhood news site.

How exciting! Did you find any other hidden treasures when you went digging?

The Italian Job (1969) is a lot of fun. Highly recommend.

Oh great! The college football communities here don’t have flair like on /r/CFB, so having the profile pic makes conversations easier

The football team is playing vs. FAU tomorrow and it’s homecoming. They’re gonna wear the old gold style helmets with the “Robo Bull” logo! Or “constipated goat” as my sister calls it.

Yeah I guess I don’t play many FPSs. I tried Civilization and just couldn’t enjoy it. And the limited time I’ve spent on desktop mode, I just kept yearning for a mouse

weren’t any communities for comic cons

/c/dragoncon exists. Low traffic, especially now that the con ended a month ago, but that’s one if you’re interested

Yeah in my 20s I’d usually get GI issues when I had a hangover… but also in my 20s it would take a lot more booze for me to wake up with a hangover haha

Now in my 40s, I almost never drink that much in one night. So my lack of GI issues is probably just from less booze overall. And I’m more careful now about eating first and hydrating after booze

Yeah if the hangover includes nausea, greasy breakfast is too risky.

Fortunately my hangovers these days are usually just headache and lethargy. Greasy breakfast, coffee, and aspirin get me right as rain by noon.

That seems crazy to me. If a game needs me to use the trackpad for anything more than occasional menu navigation, that’s pretty much a dealbreaker.

Looks like the publisher said “give me Elden Ring but legally distinct”

Yeah maybe it was a previous lap. But we watched his final lap live, and it looked out of bounds

“Safety reasons” my ass. Pirelli just doesn’t want the bad look of their tires disintegrating because of the curbs.

I say let the drivers drive, and if they want to take the chance of running up on the curb, let them.

Am I blind? It really really looked like Verstappen went outside track limits on his last lap of sprint shootout 3

They showed the replay, and the announcers acknowledged it, but no discussion at all about a penalty

I like Voyager. But the last week or so, it’s been saying update available. I go to the settings and tell it to update. The app kinda flashes and restarts, and then within a minute it says update available again.

Has anyone else has this happen?

I’m so excited to start BG3! But my co-op buddy doesn’t have a gaming PC, and it’s delayed on Xbox. It’s ok though, because we’re still enjoying a campaign in Solasta, another CRPG based on D&D rules, although with a much lower budget than BG3.

In the meantime when I have gaming time and he doesn’t, I’ve been playing through DOS2 on the Steam Deck and with some mods. It’s scratching the itch at least!

Probably, but are there any fast food places that have a burger that’s “good” by that standard?

It’s not a secret. Disposable razors are simple to own and use

Cool, thanks. I’ll definitely look into the setup before I get one. I don’t mind fiddling to set it up, as long as once it’s set up, it’s quick and simple to use.

Yeah, between the 3DS and the Deck my portable needs are probably well covered. I have a Switch too, but I really only use that for Ring Fit Adventure anymore (the exercise game)

The Deck is a really nice piece of kit. It’s “portable” in a very different way than the 3DS though. I’m not putting the Deck in my pocket, and in its case it takes up a huge chunk of my backpack. Also it’s kinda tiring to play handheld, just because it’s so big and heavy. But for gaming for an hour or less, I really like it. Perfect for chillin on the couch while my wife watches her murder show

I’m looking forward to the ownership base growing—hopefully more games that don’t traditionally support controllers (like Civ and Cities Skylines, etc) will in the years to come. I’ve used the Deck trackpad in games a little, but it’s not an enjoyable experience.

Those little handhelds look so cool! But I just got a Steam Deck a couple months ago, and I have a modded 3DS, and I work from home and don’t really have a legitimate use for another portable system haha

Maybe I’ll get it for myself for Christmas or something. What’s the OS situation? Or more to the point, is it easy enough to add roms and emulators and navigate to the game you want each time you turn it on?

What spec? I leveled as a holy priest in vanilla, and in retrospect I think that might be the worst way to level haha. Maybe resto Druid would be worse?
