The only consistent thing is coffee, green tea and water. I’m new to tea but it might supplant coffee entirely actually. Green tea makes me feel good :)

As for food I switch it up a lot but I often eat plain yogurt with muesli for breakfast.

I was walking behind two dogs and their owner. I was walking faster than them and one of the dogs looked at me and proceeded to persistently move the other dog to the side so that I could pass. It was absolutely clear it knew what it was doing :)

Usually just a physical SIM but I’ve used pre-paid eSIMs in other countries. Quite convenient!

I’m European. My first thoughts go to immense and diverse cultural heritage, pollution, amazing food, food sickness…

It’s not a prediction, {Company} will simply push whatever future that benefits {Company}.

This is just gaming revenue, otherwise Microsoft and Apple would clear.

I use a 42" 4K monitor. Same working area as 4 x 21" 1920x1080 screens but more flexible. Been doing so for ~10 years. When my old 39" 4K monitor broke I used 2 x 24 inch monitors + laptop screen for a while but I ended up buying another big monitor instead, it’s just so convenient.

I agree with holding off on Starfield. Bethesda games are usually instant buys for me but this time I’ll probably wait years before buying it. My love for Bethesda games is all about exploration and for some reason they replaced handcrafted story-filled landscapes with procedural generated ones? Hopefully modders make some cool content that is worth exploring in the future :)

I can afford to buy or subscribe to services but at this point streaming is just more annoying than pirating. With pirating I can use my favorite player (mpv), maximize video quality (high quality blu-ray rips), watch offline, no bugs or buffering, instant seeking et.c. As for games I might pirate a game before buying it but usually I just buy it since it’s convenient (unless it has intrusive DRM).

I thought it was 1998 but the mod came out in 1999, then Valve bought them out and released it as a standalone game in 2000.

• Counter-Strike
• SiN
• Delta Force
• Baldur’s Gate

Counter-Strike overtook the others by a mile in the 00s but in the 90s I probably enjoyed Delta Force more actually.

Wait I forget about consoles:

• GoldenEye 64, opened my eyes to FPS I guess
• Wave Racer 64, was the staple racer in our household

The issue is that users might object to subscribing to a community on a particular instance. I guess it’s not the end of the world, you can always unsubscribe but I can imagine some people being very upset to be associated with certain politically leaning instances or worse.

uBlock Origin, it’s not even close!

I think it should be a “copy community” feature, then mods can just prevent posts in the old community and make a sticky that points to the new location.

Making users automatically subscribe to a community on a different instance (even if it’s “the same community”) is pushing it a bit in terms of moderator power. Also makes things worse in terms of exploits and others have pointed out.

It was so easy to spend time in early WoW. The community was awesome before all the sharding and LFG/LFR tooling!

In a year I had over 200 DAYS played on World of Warcraft back in 2005-2006. That’s over 13 hours a day, then I quit abruptly and later tried a couple of expansions casually.

Second is probably Counter-Strike 1.#.

The above two I don’t regret spending my time in. Made a lot of friends and it all felt rewarding.

Then there are games like Civilization, Rimworld, Tropico and even Path of Exile. These games are not really rewarding, other than little dopamine hits that gets you continuing playing forever.

I see no need for extra accounts :)

That’s how I know I chose the right instance!

Windows 11 still feels like a beta… Have they completely given up on quality?
