  • You can also play it on a Switch emulator on your smartphone provided it's recent enough, such as Eden or Citron (it might be differently stable on different emulators on different devices). The game is findable on switch rom sites and then can be patched to English with umineko catbox on github. You will need the prod keys but all of that is explained on reddit threads if you google it.

  • Shift your center of mass forward but I think it's also a learned skill. I can squat just fine with a barbell on my back but not naturally lol

  • it's not, it's on arxiv because they will publish anything. It has upsides and downsides. They only seem to publish on arxiv, I wonder why these papers don't show up anywhere else lol. Also one of them got a 10,000$ (or 40,000, idr) grant from their universities some time back to do this kind of "research"

  • I installed nuclear to get off Spotify. It seems to work fine so far on my computer, it plays the songs off YouTube without connecting you directly, so it does require that the songs are on YouTube, but I think it finds any upload it can not necessarily an official one

  • Finally started playing Control and I'm blown away

  • I was saying the same thing about dishonored (2012/3) the other day. Graphics look dated - low-res mainly - but the art direction makes them still very okay. I remember back in the early-mid 2000s graphics were absolutely progressing every year, with every new game being able to offer a higher fidelity experience as well as bigger worlds, more npcs on screen etc. by which I mean very quantifiable technical achievements. When they started introducing ragdolls to npc bodies the whole world screamed at the sight of what had become possible on consumer hardware.

    I can barely tell the difference between a 2019 and 2025 game, aside from there's more animations and they look smoother. They're doing ray tracing and HDR now but if your graphics card can't even do it (which is most of them currently in use I'd wager) you're never going to interact with that. I think they're also doing stuff with sound, but I can't really think of a breakthrough technical achievement that becomes commonplace. I guess if I had to think of one, it's how many NPCs the new hitman games are able to simulate at once... but the reboots started in 2016, 9 years ago.

  • I consistently water down my monsters with sparkling water. It adds some fizz which I find lacking in the original, dilutes the overbearing flavor and makes the glass last longer. I usually sip on it through the morning.

    Actual athletes would never touch a monster lol (I think they tone down the fizz so that it looks more like a sports drink), but I don't drink coffee but still enjoy caffeine in the morning to wake up. So it's usually either a monster or mate.

  • Huh. I might get one then to try it out. I thought it was just the original but sugar-free. What about the original black and green can?

  • what do y'all recommend to listen to music? I like the apps, don't particularly like spotify.

    Edit - if anyone had the same question, I installed nuclear off github, it connects to online services to stream music on your devices. Working well so far! Not quite the same as Spotify in terms of functionality but it's decent

  • does white monster have the usual red bull-like terrible energy drink taste? i see people talking about specifically that can a lot.

  • not to mention that 'shampoo' doesn't really help. Anti-dandruff shampoo is not the same as shampoo for oily hair. And in fact you can require both, so a combined dandruff shampoo for oily hair makes sense.

    this applies to more than shampoo of course.

  • I used to work for a food type company and the way they decided to import and sell stuff locally was if the board of directors (the CEO who inherited the company from daddy + his siblings) liked the item. They hired someone, my coworker, to actually run the market tests and everything and then promptly ignored any suggestion she had to make about the viability of this product on the local market, instead relegating her to a busser that was in charge of ordering the samples they decided they wanted.

    I remember one item nobody liked (they would give us the remaining samples in the break room like some dogs getting the leftovers), but one of the siblings liked it and they got that close to putting it on the market because of it.

    You could make a page named something like "Supporters of socialism" with these people in it and what they said about socialism etc for example

  • We decided to add cards for authors only after we had at least 2 works from them (but their works, like Einstein's Why Socialism, are available in other topic cards). I agree though that it really helps having notable figures like MLK and Einstein appear on the encyclopedia.

  • I'm not sure it's documented anywhere, but if you read anything by Trotsky on there it's full of inline notes to explain what he means, and these notes are full of words like "Stalinists" or "bureaucrats" lol.

    Here they admit themselves to editing Lenin to remove "pro-Stalin bias" from editors: https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/note.htm

    They also removed portions from Mastering Bolshevism about restraint and care, compare yourself:
