I’ve had a nebula subscription for a couple years, and honestly I don’t think the lifetime subscription is worth it. If you can find a deal on a year plan it’s crazy cheap, and I don’t think nebula is big enough to be certain it’ll still be relevant by the time a lifetime plan would pay itself off. Maybe if it got more popular, but its place as a more specialized type of video platform, and especially a subscription based one, makes me a bit doubtful that it’ll grow significantly any time soon.

When programming, data is stored in variables. In a weakly typed language you define a variable and you can put anything in it. Numbers, text, whatever. In a strongly typed language when you define a variable you also have to define what it can take. If you define a variable that can hold numbers, it can only hold numbers and never text or anything else.

Weak typing makes code easier to write and more flexible while strong typing makes code more secure and harder to accidentally break. It’s mostly a preference thing in the end.

there’s actually no fucking way

bad sun event. must be the 24th.

According to the wikipedia page for isoamyl acetate, it is both responsible for the banana smell and is the chemical honey bees use to tell other bees to sting, so at least the logic for the post is sound.

I’ve recently been disabling minimaps in games that let me… hell of a good idea, makes the game way more immersive and fun to navigate.

That being said, it does require a certain mindset that using a minimap doesn’t. You need to be willing to take things slow, take in your surroundings, and really look. I recognize that most people don’t like going that slow and so minimaps are useful. I hope that they’ve taken that into consideration with this decision.

I’m afraid we’ll never know

Oh my god, this brought back memories!

I had a book as a small child about various weird plants. Pitcher plants, water lilies, stuff like that. I remember reading about a plant with no chlorophyll called the ghost plant or something and thinking it was the coolest thing ever, but I could never find that book again. This was also before I knew how to use the internet so I had no way of looking up the plant, thanks for reminding me of it!

Ah, well that would do it then haha. I guess I just assumed you were on linux based on the community. It also runs silky smooth for me on my windows partition, so at least I’m not totally high and dry here!

I have a 4070, the beta is unplayably laggy on linux for me. What’s your setup?

The benchmark runs great for me at least, aside from a tiny bit of geometry explosion at one segment.

You aren’t wrong, they’re definitely significantly more clunky, but they also absolutely have their own charm to them. If you’re a fan of “older” game design they might really appeal to you. There’s a much greater focus on the out-of-hunt preparation phase, and while the lack of many QOL features might be frustrating to some players, to others it adds to the personality of the games. They’re definitely games worth trying if you’re interested in retro gaming, or in Monster Hunter history, and they’re all easily emulatable.

That being said though, most players should probably just stick to the newer games, it truly cannot be overstated how much of a leap World was for the franchise. The amount of quality of life features and gameplay improvements is staggering, and going backwards from that can be a bit jarring.

Monster Hunter. There’s tons of recurring stuff between games due to the nature of the series, but other than being able to go “hey, I recognize that from this other game!” there’s no reason to play the games in any particular order. I’d normally recommend World or Rise to new players, but with Wilds coming out in a month I’d say that’s the best option if you have the hardware for it. Wilds is a thematic sequel to World though, so starting with World before Wilds is something you might consider, though it’s not really necessary.

text: "Sometimes I text my wife the motivational quotes from her tampon when she has her period to try and cheer her up

picture 1: Three tampon packages. Each one is labelled with a different motivational quote.They read “Live fearlessly!”, “Walk like a champion.”, and “Be unstoppable.”

picture 2: a screenshot of an imessage conversation. The first message, blue, reads “Live fearlessly”. The second message, grey, reads “I swear to god, go fuck yourself”]

my personal favourite is Laputa Castle in the Sky

It’s not technically Ghibli, but Nausicaa is another fantastic movie by Miyazaki

Build a Little World with Me - Laura Shigihara still hits me like a ton of bricks sometimes, but I’m also a total crybaby who has songs that I can literally break down crying just by reading the name of.
