  • Happy Ten Year Anniversary, Stardew Valley!

    Jump

  • Fair points. I guess none of that really bothers me since I'm not trying to do everything within a given number of in game years. I don't feel punished by the game ever except for maybe when I die in a dungeon and lose some of my stuff.

    I could see how if you don't enjoy the day to day game loop that could be the punishment though. Haha.

  • I've heard some of these critiques of the game before. It surprises me how many people are bothered by the clock ticking down when there's no consequences to going at your own pace. That's what I find relaxing. I can just sit down, and explore, play, figure things out, etc. The fact that things aren't obvious and not spoon fed to you is enjoyable to me. There's not other people running around frantically. Didn't catch an NPC today? I'll catch them tomorrow. It's relaxing in its simplicity.

    I think people don't find the game relaxing when they put their own restrictions and goals in place (Got to get this person to X number of hearts by such and such a date, etc).

  • What books have a lot of useful information should I get? (I mean like a Wikipedia thing with vast knowledge, but non-electronic.)

    Jump

  • Other than a set of encyclopedias, a good book is Pocket Ref by Thomas J Glover. It has all sorts of useful information (conversion charts, formulas, reference tables, etc.) You can also look at Desk Ref

    Another are any of the Ugly's electrical reference books. Handy to keep with you if you do any electrical work or need to quickly reference some information. The Pocket Ref has pretty much the same stuff but Ugly's is more focused and less broad.

    And of course a dictionary and thesaurus are good to have too.

  • Man who shot a British woman in Texas after 'arguing about Donald Trump' won’t face criminal charges. A grand jury declined to indict him.

  • what makes this worse is he was shooting a Glock. They have a different "safety" altogether. Designed specifically to prevent accidental discharge. He didn't drop the gun or something. He had to put his finger on the trigger.

  • How are these actual Spotify subscription tiers? It honestly sounds like something from a parody.

  • Linux For Your Grandma - A Linux guide for those that are not super techy

  • I wonder if more people dive deep in the control panel than there are users of Linux. I bet there are and maybe even more that are willing to use regedit than there are Linux users.

  • Whats your absolute favorite fast-food burger?

  • I prefer their mushroom and swiss with grilled onions.

  • Witchfire director says “everybody should attempt to support” Steam Deck as it just makes games better for everyone

    Jump

  • I'm in the same boat. Been using Linux on a laptop for decades. But have always used Windows for gaming on my gaming desktop. I'm due for a rebuild and had a Linux build planned out that I was going to buy parts for during the holidays when they were expected to be on sale... Then RAM shot through the roof. A few months back the retail price of the parts (minus accessories and a case) was at a little above $1700 now it's almost at $2100 due to the RAM pricing.

  • Samsung smart fridges have started displaying ads

    Jump

  • They probably get around this from some clause in the terms and conditions... Yep... Terms and conditions for a fridge.

  • Why are so many after-shave lotion perfumed ?

    Jump

  • I have used cold water, followed by an alum block, then cold water again after I let the alum sit on my skin. Then I just apply unscented noncomedogenuc lotion. I usually use Neutrogena ultra gentle daily facial moisturizer.

  • What's the deal with breakfast in bed?

    Jump

  • I think that's actually what dentists recommend (brushing before eating not wiping before you shit). I can't remember the details fully but I thought it had something to do with particles of food getting pushed into spots it shouldn't if you brush right after. Toothpaste is meant to protect your teeth, so brushing after eating probably more like waxing a dirty car than wiping before you shit.

  • how do school shooters know how to use guns?

  • One might even say that a firearm becomes more dangerous in a less knowledgeable person's hands.

  • It's been about 15 years since I did appliance servicing. But back then many of the dryers would still include a circuit diagram with wire color codes and a timing chart for the controller. But the fancier appliances that had digital control boards, touch panels, etc... Like LG and Samsung didn't include crap unless you paid for their service portals. But, what they had behind the pay wall was often fairly detailed with tear down instructions and even full details of circuit boards including each pinout and often even flow charts for diagnostic steps making diagnostics almost dummy proof.

    LG would even put on training and we'd get full inch to inch and a half booklets full of service details for a line of their products.

    I still would never buy an LG appliance though. There was a reason they had to provide so many service details. Their appliances might have some fancy cushy innovations. But what good are these fancy features when your fridge doesn't cool?

  • Does Tentacular Limbs from Aberrant Bloodline extend unarmed attacks from (Wolf Jaw) Martial Artist Stances in pf2?

    Jump

  • As someone who has GM'd for PF2E for several years I second this. I see no reason they would not be able to be used together.

    Keep in mind that Tentacular Limbs does have the morph trait so it cannot be stacked with another morph ability/spell applied to the same limb. Also, because the spell has the manipulate trait, you could draw a reaction (attack of opportunity).

  • Epic Games Store is Removing a Game (Dark and Darker) from Players' Libraries due to legal troubles

    Jump

  • I'm not one hundred percent sure, but the email I got from Epic says they're refunding the legendary upgrade and that Redstone shards are only good until November 1st. I don't actually play the game, but I got the email because I got the legendary upgrade when it was a freebie.

    Jump

  • There's also an upgrade that isn't free that's being removed. Granted the upgrade was one of their freebie offers relatively recent.

  • Business optimization

    Jump

  • There's ads over the PA? I have never heard any. It might be because I'm typically in-and-out and focused on just getting what I need or maybe I've just been tuning them out. I'll have to listen more carefully next time I'm at Target and Walmart.

  • What's the state of Android browsers? Want to move away from Samsung Internet

    Jump

  • I had a Fold4 and now have an s25 Ultra and had none of those issues with Firefox either. Works just fine for me and I even have some extensions I've put on that aren't technically supposed to work in the mobile browser so I was fully expecting some jank. But still works fine.

  • Samsung's handheld prototype delivers folding phone screens to Switch-like gaming hardware, and I am absolutely here for it

    Jump

  • I had a folding phone (Fold4). Once a video was playing the fold wasn't as noticeable as long as you looked at it straight on. From an angle, the fold was annoying.

    The worst part about the phone was that it was uncomfortable to hold when folded or not, it was cumbersome, and finding a good case for it was nearly impossible.

    I would rather carry something like my Deck in a case than save a little space with a folding device. Those folding screens are also very shiny and super sensitive. You can scratch those screens with your finger nails.
