This is honestly surprising to me. Wouldn’t they charge wealthy people more because they could just suck up the higher prices?

Similar story here with my SN30 Pro+. It was great the first year then the Bluetooth stopped working consistently, then the wired mode also stopped working consistently a year later.

I’ve never tried Portal but I know what it is. I’d imagine this would f*ck with my head even more than Half-Life.

Funny enough, DSP is on my “purchased backlog”, games I decided to buy on sale on a whim but never got around to actually playing.

Never heard of Vintage Story before.

Pokemon - having to watch animations and not being able to speed anything up killed my interest

That’s why I play on emulator most of the time, especially for games I’ve already beaten

A friend tried to get me into Half-Life multiple times and I just cannot get into it.

It’s a fast-paced FPS game, which means I’m likely to get dizzy after some time but something about the ambience makes it worse than usual. I can play Skyrim for up to 1.5 hours at a time, Minecraft or Fortnite for 45-60 minutes, but I’d be lucky to play 20 minutes of Half-Life without my head pounding.

Plus, it’s a linear, story-based game, and I’m more into games based more on mechanics and progression (like Pokémon, Factorio, Cities Skylines, Civ, Balatro, and incremental games) than story. And at least for as long as I’ve tried to play it, there isn’t even much of a story.

Funny enough, for local downloads of video game OSTs (which I like way too much), I’ve been recently turning to Steam of all things. Often cheaper than Bandcamp and DRM-free!

• Can do stuff that isn’t just for gaming or content consumption

Headphone jack and MicroSD slot though! Guess they listened to somebody lol

I was riding my motorcycle today and was gonna park in a parking lot. Nearby there was a 1-lane 1-way road, and I witnessed some car park there even though the parking lot was visibly not full from that road. An hour later it was still parked there, blocking the road. Idiot.

I didn’t even know it existed until I saw it in person, no idea they had tours!

During my long motorcycle road trip to the twisties, I saw this huge white structure looming distantly in front of me. I wondered what the heck it was, first thought it was some kind of coal processing thing and then thought it was a wind turbine under construction. But as I got closer, I saw that it was a freakishly large dish. During my next stop, I confirmed it was this telescope. Should’ve taken a picture of it.

Wow! How did that happen?

I don’t like doing that because it wears the battery. Better to have slightly inaccurate percentages than to actively make the long term situation worse

Outlook /Teams: School/work. Yes, there’s stuff even on memorial Day…

DuckDuckGo: App Tracking Protection

Xcode for iOS development if you want to experiment with that

When I’m super stressed and completely demotivated, I’ll eat even more than usual because food gives me that sweet sweet hit of dopamine

The download link returns a 404, is it already down?

Less reason to believe that it is than most cars that literally market themselves as connected

I’d prefer something like 68-70F (20-21C) at night, but something more like 73-75F (23-24C) in the day

Definitely boycott paying real money for lootboxes or games with real money lootboxes.

If you’re not paying, then it’s just a factor to consider, the companies won’t care about you much
