Villeneuve has been really disappointing. He was good with smaller, more gritty stuff but isn’t a good epic director.

Overrated. The real perk is learning how to not eat it all at once

I made the argument that it’s expensive but it was more based on the idea that I can get a cheapo used console with a few games and that’ll do me for a whole generation. That and I think that PC gaming has a deeper void to get sucked into (mainly keyboards and monitors)

But now a couple weeks later and I realize that I really enjoy my crappy business desktop PC and I could see building a PC in the future.

They each have their advantages. When I go to a friends house we play console. At home I’d rather play PC, if I had the choice.

Nothing wrong with simple recipes!

I think this would just nurture that particular type of anxiety.

Some damning stuff in that report.

Oh dude you’re missing out.

Join .today or something, then use a tool to copy your subscriptions from ediblefriend@world to the new instance. You don’t get to see the Local feed from world, but All and Subscribed are the same. That’s it.

I’d say .world has been the most reddit-like for me. Overall it’s still good here but I’m also looking forward to it simmering down for a while.

I haven’t actually noticed hexbear at all and I’m on an instance that isn’t defed

I don’t doubt it, but what I was getting at was that I wonder if Kushner hasn’t had more serious investigations into these allegations because it is hard to 100% prove and the article brings that up. Obviously Kushner isn’t going to say anything to the FBI, and Flynn is also being silent so the FBI has to rely on a potentially sketchy source. Not much to stand on given that I’m hoping we get to see Kushner in jail one day.

Wow look at that reaction! You guys think I’m a MAGA or something because I quoted this?

This is the one I’m thinking of. Love the concept. Potential challenge is that in Canada things, in particular, shipping is expensive. I’m pretty broke right now so my inclination is to save money over the long run and not be wasteful.

I’m not a phone person though. Useful device but not something that takes up much of my day to day time.

Damn 19C! My apartment is 24 right now and it feels cozy. When I bake it gets to 27. Without heat in the winter it hovers around 16 inside.

I’d consider going somewhere with more extreme day/night cycles like the Northwest territories, but within Canada I’m basically happy where I am. I like the super long days in the summer and I’m also ok living in the dark most of the winter as long as I can stay active.

Not yet but one day. If I could get a phone and keep it for 20 years (with repairs/upgraded parts) then I’d switch.

If apple removes the plug then i’ll start considering the other options when my current phone becomes unusable. Until then it’s too easy to buy an old iphone and hold onto it for 6 years.

“according to intercepts of Russian communications that were reviewed by U.S. officials.” !

Wow. Very interesting.

“Russia at times feeds false information into communication streams it suspects are monitored as a way of sowing misinformation and confusion among U.S. analysts.”

That was my thought too.

I have nothing really to say except that I like this. In my head cannon they are dancing.

No it’s just another video game. The core competency of this developer is dialogue interaction or dialogue puzzles that help create a sense of immersion in a world with lots of RPG mechanics. It is more or less in line with their previous games. There are quite a few tacked on features.

There’s so much media coverage of video games these days I think it makes it hard to just have them stand on their own merits without having every detail examined and compared across every game that has ever released. People who are spending the money on video games as entertainment will be entertained, but this isn’t a genre defining product and it isn’t a flop either.

No that claim isn’t backed up by any sources I could find. Sounds fringe attitude to me. It’s a good thing that people study this as their job and advise the legislative branch because it’s complicated. When I looked up the levelized* cost of energy I had a hard time finding sources that agreed with each other. In particular, the nuclear societies were skewing the data, but the same with certain German think tanks claiming the exact opposite. Debate all around. Hydro FTW.

Work shouldn’t be the primary source of stress in our lives no matter what the job is.

Any kolsch paired with a clean pilsner is a nice combo.
