Was your wife complaining because you were running ethernet(?) cable to what appears to be the toilet?

Scary Movie 2...

I hate when people ask me to pass them their glasses. They're putting the responsibility of not smudging their glasses on me. Sure I can do it, but there is always that small possibility of failure.

If the glasses are folded up there is that moment of trying to decide how to grab the glasses. Do I grab them by the bridge bit that sits on their nose, or by the bits that hook over the ears? Surely it's too risky to grab by the frame around the glasses.. if they exist.

B...bu..but it'll trickle dooooown

I swear coral island just appeared out of nowhere. It seems to be popping up on a ton of cozy gaming communities. It takes a lot of inspiration from Stardew Valley...

As adults we are dubious of the results that AI gives us. We take the answers with a handful of salt and I feel like over the years we have built up a skillset for using search engines for answers and sifting through the results. Kids haven't got years of experience of this and so they may take what is said to be true and not question the results.

As you say, the kids should be taught to use the tool properly, and verify the answers. AI is going to be forced onto us whether we like it or not, people should be empowered to use it and not accept what it puts out as gospel.

The subscription fee imo is warranted given they release new content every 3 months, which includes voice acting, new dungeons, and new raid content. If it was a monthly sub with nothing released between expansions it wouldn't be acceptable imo. Highly recommend not having a recurring sub

Oh damn, I did not know about the allegations of sexual assault. Definitely makes sense companies now backing away from working with him.

I have 3,400 hours in this game. What I enjoy is that I'm not expected to dedicate my life to it. I pay for 30 days at a time and play when new content is released every 3 months.

I know the last expansion Dawntrail is being slated on Steam reviews, but gameplay wise it was great. The music was solid as always, the Arcadion content was fun and the new zones looked great. Given how good the story has been in the past expansions I can understand how hard it must be to write a whole new story arc and make everyone happy. Some people want something entirely new, while others want to keep it all the same.

I thought the first season was alright, had some good moments and an interesting premise. I'm not surprised it was cancelled however.

It's also the switch from : to - that gets me

I'm personally not a fan of adding another ~2 hours onto my work days just to get a 3 day weekend. I feel like I would lose my time in the afternoon to wind down. I would much prefer to cut down to a 4 day week and work less hours with the same pay, but most companies are not going to do that.

Read your comment after seeing the image, went back and noticed the fake tan, gave me a good chuckle.

I see new content every day, and that is after blocking a lot of instances that aren't relevant to my taste. I don't think this place is dead, it just needs more of those 48k to contribute.

Got it! Thanks 🙏

Felt pretty good getting this in 3

This weekend just gone I've been playing Sins of a Solar Empire II & Steam World Heist II. Both great games, the style and music in SWHII is really well done, and a worthy successor to the first game.

Just tested and got the exact same

"It's the anxiety associated with real-time conversations, potential awkwardness, not having the answers and the pressure to respond immediately" - this hits the nail on the head for me about not wanting to be on the phone/teams call in the work place. Being pulled into a call with no context is my biggest nightmare.

Honestly at this moment it's the style they are going for. It's difficult to describe, it's kind of old timey tech noir. The base gameplay feels very similar to SMITE.

I've got access to the game on steam, the game feels very alpha stage at the moment. There's already a good roster of characters to choose from and the style is interesting.

What ever happened to the universal rule of finders keepers?!

It looks like a VR tech demo that they decided to change into a non-vr game.

If it were me I would add a giant creature into it that has a personality depending on how I and the villagers treat it. Maybe change the name to something that rhymes with "Back and Kite" and slap a number on it, the number 3 feels right for some reason.

Skies of Arcadia

I've no doubt a previous employer of mine would get us to sign a bit of paper saying we're happy to be contacted outside of our working hours, and being told it's mandatory to sign it.

Surely this is better than the crypto/NFT tech fad. At least there is some output from the generative AI that could be beneficial to the whole of humankind rather than lining a few people's pockets?

I'm all for conservation efforts, and I guess well done to the success, but did we really need to do it with giant spiders? 😭

She's saying these things to him to reinforce it into his subconscious. One day he may start believing those lies, and one day they may actually come true. Except the tall thing, he's fucked.

Why did I immediately try to find Wally/Waldo?

I suspect they do have in-house QA, although it is likely a small team, and even when they do identify a bug the Devs don't have sufficient time to fix them.

An opt-in test environment is great for testing new features to get feedback and it's the right move, you can't have an internal team determine if a new feature is great for the player base, it'd be like Arrowhead giving itself a pat on the back for coming up with a great idea.

Give Deep Space Nine a go if you haven't it's the slightly darker side of trek.

It would be cool if it included other names for things. E.g. Kubernetes can also be known as K8s. Also not too mobile friendly when looking at more info. Besides that it is an interesting concept!

Can confirm Iceland still do the official sausage rolls. Had one for lunch. Still can't get them to cook right in the air fryer, and feel like it's a waste putting the oven on for a single sausage roll.

When I first moved into my house I needed to improve the insulation as the existing stuff wasn't sufficient. I reached out to a spray foam company who sent a salesman around. The guy was incredibly pushy and didn't care about the minor details. When I was saying it was too much he called his manager up on the phone and was talking to her like she was a piece of shit that he'd trodden in. I reached a point and asked him to leave. About 15 minutes after he'd left the manager called me back directly sounding like she'd been crying, asking for feedback on the guy. Even after I said it was a terrible experience she continued to try and sell the service to me! It was probably some terrible double-act to get sales.

It left a bad taste, I got the feeling it was a terrible cowboy operation and they were claiming to be one of the major players in the UK. Seeing this and over time reading people's experiences really makes me feel like I dodged a bullet by not getting foam spray insulation. It all sounded too good to be true.

Trent and Atticus Ross have been doing lots of great soundtracks for shows and movies. I feel they are just using the NIN name for impact, but ultimately it'll still be those two doing the soundtrack.

Set it to UK if that link isn't working for you

I decided to give the gold place breaking video a watch and although these people are skilled, I just don't quite get the "this is the current peak of human physical fitness/skill" that we see from other sports. Diving, Rowing, BMXing, even synchronised swimming were all really impressive. I wonder if Breaking will make a return?

Lager people and Betting Shop people are not necessarily bad, refer to the racists currently rioting as Fascists.

This is great to see, also feels like a common sense approach? We don't cull humans to get rid of COVID, so why would we apply that logic to trying to stop bovine TB?
