Something else to consider is that it’s a wonderful social window if you have friends that you don’t get to hang out with very often due to geography and life.

I have a couple of good friends who are too far away after I moved to another area. We play games online and have a nice social hangout for a few hours each Saturday. Voice chatting works great.

It’s fantastic to be able to regularly spend time with them.

AI totally understood the assignment, I see nothing to critique here.

Nerdy lisp activated

“Excuse me sir… have you heard about our lord and savior, Kahless the warrior king?”

Judging by the robes… Is this Trondalf?

Which is absolutely wild to me, considering that all natively born citizens received their citizenship involuntarily at birth.

This is exactly it. I glance at All on Lemmy for maybe 2% of my time here, primarily to see if I can discover a new community that I didn’t previously know about to add to my collection.

But it’s true. The real Lemmy experience is in your subscribed communities.

Not a smoker myself, but I can tell you what worked for my brother when he quit in college.

AC went out in his dorm during an August heat wave, and it took forever for them to fix it. He decided that it would be a perfect time to go cold turkey, since he’d be so miserable from the heat that the few days of nicotine withdraw wouldn’t really be comparably bad. And he said it was right, he didn’t think about it during the worst part, and by the time they fixed the AC, he was 90% of the way through the process.

So if you live in one of the parts of the world moving to summer right now, it might be worth a shot.

Pikachimic?

Or at 720p, as this is a 16:9 aspect ratio, and running stuff on it at 16:10 will look weird.

…And the King did decree for him to stand atop the seaside cliff, upon the occurrence of any stormy eve, to forewarn the vessels of the kingdom: beware, for the shoals are close at hand." - Chapter 7, The Legend of Lord Glowcrotch

Hmmm. One of his strings stops at the nut and another completely misses the posts, but I’m guessing that’s because there are only two tuning pegs for four strings? I’m guessing someone pranked him by giving him that instrument? Must be a pain to tune that.

Yep, precisely why I don’t play kernel anticheat games.

Considering 99.9999% of all the games out there don’t have it, and I have a selection of games large enough to last a lifetime, I don’t lose sleep over that decision.

I use both, they are two separate words, not one word with multiple spellings.

Not sure why people are changing it. Yes, language evolves, but maybe we could all focus on evolving it in areas that actually need evolution?

“Let me figure out which of the seven fingers on this hand I shall place this ring on… just a moment.”

I second the recent PlayStation controllers. My friend gave me an extra PS4 controller he had and it’s basically a Deck controller minus the back buttons and a track pad. Works fine for most games I play with it, but I’m primarily a M&K guy.

Burgers and orange juice, I can’t think of a more iconic combination.

Gandalf: “Flies, you fools!”

Fellowship: Visibly confused due to lack of subject-verb agreement

Gandalf: “No, you idiots! I mean, you’re literally flies! Why the hell are you walking all the way to Mordor?”

“And Ebenezer, be especially fearful of the Ghost of Metal Album Covers Past. He likes to lightning-punch people directly in the scrotum. Merry Christmas.”

So you can take it with you then?

If you have to deal frequently with toilets with flush sensors at your office (or really any public restroom), you’ve probably been grossed out by them flushing (and spraying water at you) before you’re ready.

As an adult, I learned that handle-adjacent sensors can be dealt with by hanging TP over them, and won’t flush until you remove it as you’re leaving the stall. Wall sensors (like one infamous office toilet I deal with) can be handled with a post it note placed over the sensor; I keep some at the office just for this purpose. In an emergency, sometimes spit-dabbing a piece of TP can stick it to the wall over the sensor, but this isn’t as reliable.

Just get into these habits when you use sensor toilets, and you’ll never have to worry about disgusting flush spray from prematurely flushing public toilets ever again.
