I wasn't really impressed by the touchpads, until I actually used them. Been playing stellaris on my bed every day now and I can't imagine a portable PC like this not having pads.

As usual with anime there's little to no analysis of the wider society in which the characters exist and how their actions are influenced by it and how they, in turn, influence it.
If you want to be just as frustrated in the same way, watch Psycho Pass. But you jave to watch until the season 2 finale for your blood to boil to maximum.

Has your average commonplace unchallenged ideas of China, but is overall a great video.
It's as if getting an advantage because of money instead of merit and effort is unfair. Such a wild idea could only really work on videogames haha.
Enjoyed blasting through the campaign. Except where you notice they released the chapters later and the difficulty spikes are pretty bonkers if you ask me. The way you build your character is also much more manageable compared to something like Path of Exile too, so that's a big plus for me.
Well, this kind of technology was just a matter of time.
I have a flip phone and not gonna lie: having a phone that fits your pocket is great. But the impression I have is that people hate them?
There's rumors FFXIV will announce the release date for the next expansion, but I'm not so sure. What other games will have panels or interesting things going on there?

Yes, it's over literally nothing. Yes, gamers are harassing people.
We all know there's no difference between them (specially if you live outside the US), but I'm actually impressed how little the Biden campaign is doing. All they really got is "Trump bad", some bs about inflation being under control (if you exclude rent and food) and "protecting LGBT rights" (which I might have missed but Biden did literally nothing about?). They should want to win to have their party implement the oligarchic plans and get that sweet sweet lobbying money right? Or are the elites actually preferring Trump right now?

> In just the past few days, Russian forces captured the key city of Avdiivka in Ukraine’s east, and swiftly promised not to lessen the pressure and continue their move west. Chasiv Yar is just 30 miles north of Avdiivka, and Chaus says he’s worried that his town, already ravaged by the war, would now bear an even greater brunt of the fighting. ... Russian military bloggers and Western analysts this week reported renewed fighting near the village of Robotyne in the southern Zaporizhzhia region, which Ukraine’s troops liberated last August, in what, at the time, was seen as an important win that could get Kyiv closer to disrupting Russia’s land bridge to occupied Crimea.

Maybe I'm alone in this, but lemmy kind of expects you to have multiple accounts (at least when .world goes down), so knowing which one I'm using when writing a comment would be helpful (even if switching on the fly wouldn't be feasible).
I never really used twitter, but since mastodon is the FOSS version that people seem to like, I've been trying it. But it's kind of hard if you don't know anyone to follow ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ . Anyway, any suggestions? It doesn't have to be necessarily about leftism, just people you find worthwhile to follow.
