  • Trine Was a Masterpiece. Why Doesn’t Anyone Remember?

    Jump

  • I still bring Trine up everytime the topic of platformers come up.

    I can't stand platformers. I don't think I've played any of them for more than half an hour before moving on. Yes, that includes Mario, since it's first incarnation (sigh, I'm old).

    Yet Trine hooked me in the first five minutes. The puzzles and mechanics were so much fun. The art style was also beautiful and vibrant. It is the only game in the genre that I have ever finished.

    I reckon when I retire one day, I might get the whole series, and finally play them all.

  • What are your favorite meals to bring to new parents for spring and summer babies?

    Jump

  • This is a very thoughtful question that took me back to the time we were new parents.

    Discussing this with my partner to see if there were dishes that we thought befit the hot Australian summer when we had the baby.. And we honestly couldn't think of any!

    Everything was a blur; opening the fridge and finding something—anything—to eat was already the best feeling in the world.

    We were quite lucky to have a multicultural circle of friends/family. We think that variety is probably more important than what the food actually were. If all we had was lasagna, we would eat it every day for a week. But choosing between fried rice, chilli con carne, pasta, or curry from the fridge/freezer was one of the few highlights of our day.

    If you're part of a group of friends, you can discuss among yourselves the different things you could bring. If not, imagine you just had the most exhausting day of your life. What do you wish you would find in your fridge right about now?

    Oof. I've got some mates with word choices that would raise some questions from the toddler.

  • Bear in mind that "free speech" just means you can't be arrested for what you say.

    When someone's talk is being boycotted or - in this case - refused entry to a region, their free speech rights aren't being infringed.

    That said, I (and the French, it seems) agree with your sentiment, this is totally an appalling move by Germany.

  • What's the most expensive thing you broke as a kid and what's the story behind it?

    Jump

  • This actually got a good laugh out of me. I have a toddler, and I can see what you did totally made sense in your mind, and that it was dad's fault for not being specific enough with the instructions.

  • Open Source apps to monitor the best-before dates of foods?

  • On mine it's only available from the Izzy repo, not the main fdroid one.

    Edit: Here's the source code. Try with either Izzy or Obtainium to install.

  • You know what's funny, the two clients that don't support your dropdown/spoiler for anti-commercial licences were commercial closed-source Lemmy clients.

    I say sod them and go back to your dropdown.

  • Look up "Stanford marshmallow experiment".

  • Who do you consider a Great Author of the last 50 years or so (first well-known work after 1970)? I'd like to get a feel for who's who in modern literature. Any language/culture. Fiction only.

    Jump

  • Hahahah. I don't know how my sleep-deprived brain got to "I am Bob".

    Yeah, audio isn't my preferred medium, but since I now commute by car instead of public transport, it's the only viable means of book consumption for me. It's unfortunate because a bad narrator can turn me off of an otherwise good book.

    Sanderson's Skyward series have different narrators on Spotify and Audible. One of them I could not stand for more than 5 minutes. The other, Sophie Aldred, is a real pleasure to listen to.

  • Sigh. As a fan of Sanderson, Abercrombie, and Gibson, I am now compelled to check out your other recommendations. As if I haven't already had an overly long queue of things to read..

  • Are you registered to donate your organs? Why or why not?

    Jump

  • It looks like they lifted the ban in the USA too? If you're still keen, do give them a ring.

  • Are you registered to donate your organs? Why or why not?

    Jump

  • FYI, in Australia they scrapped the rule a couple years ago and you would've been able to donate now (at least blood, not sure about organs).

    Wherever you are, maybe check again if they've relaxed the rule.
