Still grinding away at Street Fighter 6, and currently starting another run of the FFVII Remake!
What a top-tier tip. I’m one of those people who have uBlock Origin but never knew about this. Thank you!
Just curious since I just got into it… what other issues did you have? If you’re comfy with saying, of course.
I’d been smoking cigarettes for 11 years and just switched to vaping 2 months ago. My lungs feel much, much better. I can walk up multiple flights of stairs/longer distances without getting winded. My mouth also no longer has that eternal burnt paper taste, especially when I wake up in the mornings.
So for the purposes of what I switched to vaping for - to ease back on destroying my lungs - vaping/e-cigs work. I used to smoke 2 packs in about a week and a half. I’d say the amount I vape now is the equivalent of 1 pack every month (I don’t constantly hit it throughout the day).
I have no doubt that inhaling vapor with that density is still not good, but it’s better than what I was doing previously.
As for helping to quit the habit entirely, I think that’s the opposite of their goal. All these fruity flavors they keep coming out with seem like they’re designed to be popped like candy.
+1 vote for the Dishonored games. If you want a quick showcase of what’s possible in this title or the whole series, StealthGamerBR is probably one of the best people to watch.
Also possible on kbin, which I appreciate because it allows granularity on a user-level.
A cold one.
We must stay focused brothers… we must stay focused.
A lot of great answers in here. Another one that I’ve never seen/heard fail to get crowd participation is “It’s My Life” by Bon Jovi.
Basically any song that has a really catchy chorus and allows you to sing it whether you’re on or off-key is a winner, because karaokes are all about having fun with it.
This made me laugh. Thanks!
Oh man, I knew there were a lot but I had no idea.
I remember when Google Wave was demo’ed to a live audience, there were audible ooohs and aaahs from the crowd. It was such a mindblowing idea 14 years ago, shame it never really got off the ground.
That’s uncanny. How did you get it so close?
EDIT: Actually not close, bang on!
I like it because it helps break my Coke addiction.
EDIT: Coca-Cola* addiction
I bought the Mustang Alpha and Avenger Titan pledges last year and played for quite a bit. Ran around naked in the cold of New Babbage. Passed out and woke up in Brentworth. Suited up and did some mining with my multitool. Flew the ships. Did some fetch quests. Fired a gun or two. Blew up the ships (multiple times). Had a blast.
I really think it will take years at this point to get it to where they want it to be, but in the meantime I enjoyed how the players treated it seriously, and not seriously at the same time, if that makes sense.
BTW, there’s a pretty active community on !starcitizen@lemmy.ml.
It do be like that.
c/memes aside, I remember starting my own webforum on InvisionFree in 2006. Place was a barren wasteland, but in fairness it was for a very specific niche game at the time (Armored Core) and the target market was also tiny (players in the Philippines). Lo and behold, one by one people came. 17 years and a lot of host and software migrations later, that forum is still standing.
If you build it, they will come. Eventually.
You seem to know a lot about putting boxes in bathrooms (for cooling purposes).
Great comment.
Yes, really. I was fortunate enough to be able to access the internet during the 90s. Was exposed to Geocities, webrings, and IRC mainly (the heyday of BBSes were juuust before I had access). Before Google, it was a real magical time when you never knew what lay in store as you surfed the information superhighway’s hyperlinks. The “Old Internet” ruled.
In my opinion, the Fediverse is both like that, and unlike that. The idea of federation is really close to the unsiloed feel of the before times, yet we know much more about connectivity now than ever before. There’s definitely magic in having something for the first time which you cannot 100% replicate even with something innovative.
But I have to admit the Fediverse does have that Brave New World feel (the concept, not the novel).
Retro handhelds have really revived people’s appetites for retro-styled games. There’s a lot of fluff on itch.io, but there’s good stuff there too.
That’s such a trip. Only a 6 year difference between the two of you, yet you experienced the dawn of something and they didn’t, and it shapes both of your perspectives so much.
Even though it technically applies to transistors, Moore’s Law has been a good barometer for the increase of complexity and capabilities of technology in general. And now because of your comment I’m kinda thinking that since the applicability of that law seems to be nearing its end, it’s either tech will stagnate in the next decade (possible, but I think unlikely), or we may be due for another leapfrog into a higher level of sophistication (more likely).
