(for some nostalgic Discovery vibes)

lol when I went vegan I used a lot of meat substitutes to get me over it. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good though!

I hate the Steam Deck! /s

I mean, I’m half joking but I used to sleep in bed and now I waste like 2-3 hours on Balatro instead of falling asleep at an appropriate hour.

I think it can depend on where you live and dry heat vs humid and stuff, but in general I agree.

I would sleep with a fan instead of turning on AC.

I think a lot of these “cab companies” use the tips to pay the drivers now and take more for themselves.

I love the 24 hour clock and living in London, UK I used it all the time. However, I remember one time I bought movie tickets at lunch for 17:30 and my brain thought it was for 7:30pm and I called my friend at the last moment saying: “you have to leave work early if we’re gonna make it!”

I don’t know why in sci-fi or other fiction, I love it when they use Terra. Not sure why I find that more believable.

I just bought it based on this alone. Early-access and FPS games aren’t typically my thing, but I like the cut of this person’s jib.

Most people know now, but for those that don’t:

It says it’s attributed to Ernest Hemingway but that claim seems unlikely.

The claim of Hemingway’s authorship originates in an unsubstantiated anecdote about a wager among him and other writers. Hemingway is said to have claimed he could write a short story only six words short. In a 1991 letter to Canadian humorist John Robert Colombo, science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke recounts: “He’s [Hemingway] supposed to have won a $10 bet (no small sum in the '20s) from his fellow writers. They paid up without a word. … Here it is. I still can’t think of it without crying— FOR SALE. BABY SHOES. NEVER WORN.”[1]

I wonder how his listeners can keep hearing this same message for years?

It’s great but I’ve had greater sensitivity in my finger tips after trying to get used to it. Then typing hurt so I had to switch to a trackball and just regular vertical mouse. I miss the gestures for virtual desktops.

I feel like an idiot. I read “bear” and tilted my phone and squinted and all that. Time to go sleep.

I can imagine it’s just really hot in there with the computers and monitors going.

Crash Course too!

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBDA2E52FB1EF80C9 - Crash Course World History was one of my favourites.

Yup. I’ve just been purchasing games without the Verified tag now because I’ll just be like: “yeah that seems like it’d work and it typically does”.

I made the mistake of installing Stardew Valley on it for 1.6. Oof, I’m playing it everywhere. Very bad when you can’t handle your addictions well.

I remember first going through MGS2. Up until Raiden I thought this was going to be the best gaming experience ever. Still liked it, but the story was just weird looking back on it.

I’m going to give a weird answer, but one of my favourite gaming experiences on the PS2 was Katamari Damacy. I was in Uni and we had some friends that didn’t play games but LOVED Katamari and we would take turns on that.

Yup, I didn’t buy the Steam Deck to do 4K ray tracing at 120FPS. I bought it so I can pick up any Steam Deck Verified game and play it without relative issue. Being able to suspend the game immediately and just knowing things work beats fiddling with Windows on a handheld.

I don’t understand what this is trying to say. The cybertruck is a disaster and I think that social distancing was for COVID right?

Also, I think there’s something called the Flynn Effect and it’s that in general kids are getting smarter with each generation (I think?).

lol, okay that made me chuckle … I liked that.

Although, we both eventually got into the jobs for what we studied for. We’ve made that jokes both in university and when we got into respective fields.
