I’m Asian and this once happened to me when I went to get some Chinese fast food. Another customer asked why I was there when I could just make this stuff at home.

In Japan it should have been Meta, Apple, Netflix, Google/Alphabet: MANGA.

Love the series and am about to start Trails Of Cold Steel II soon!

I use my blinker even when turning into my own driveway and the reason is simple:

The signal isn’t for me. It’s for others to know my intentions.

One major thing that makes driving with others safer is predictability and your blinkers can help with that.

My gaming sessions on my Steam Deck are about 1-2 hours around 2-3 times a week. It takes me about 4-6 months to finish an RPG.

I love love love rhythm games. As a Beatmania player since the late 90s, how difficult is this game?

Maybe a conversation for a different time. Have a good one.

Being able to food on the table is a priority for all of us and I use a computer for that as well.

The argument was about ecological damage which is also true, especially for running all this hardware to run these models to create said art.

Perhaps I need my fridge more than I need AI generated art.

I randomly decided to play a round of Tetris in Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 and ended up playing my best game ever of 715 lines with 54 minutes of play before losing. It was supposed to just be a quick 15 minute session but turned into something quite chaotic and fun!

Can you suggest movie you like in this subgenre?

This is awesome! I’ve only ever used ModPlug Tracker and now ReNoise. I need to give Furnace a shot as well.

Octopath Traveler II OST by Yasunori Nishiki.

I’m not sure if you were looking only for bands or music with lyrics, but this is probably my favorite video game soundtrack of all time.

American here. If I was at a mall here in the US and heard this kind of bragging I’d roll my eyes, too.

I was once trying to buy some snacks at a market and a person’s card was declined so they started bragging about how much money they had in the bank and that the store was wrong. Everyone just sighed and groaned around her.

I used to attend church with a small following (50-60 members). The pastor seemed very kind at the time and still does some charitable things… But when my grandfather was dying in the hospital, he suggested that suffering brings you closer to God and any kind of hospice or pain-relief was a sin.

The next Sunday I attended, the pastor starting mocking the medical staff during a sermon, basically airing my family business and likened my family to Judas. I walked out and never came back.

Some of my family still attends his church. I saw the pastor a few years ago and extended my hand for a handshake and he walked away.

My mom and I talk about this whole situation sometimes (she attends a different church). “If you hear something at church you don’t agree with, don’t bring it home with you.” That was her way of saying that the pastor is just a person, too. Take what you can from a lesson and apply it for good in your life.

I’m currently working with a team of a few seniors and the rest mid-levels. I’ve helped get a few juniors hired but they’ve buckled under the pressure after 6 months.

They studied development at school and did great with their classwork but perhaps they thought they knew a lot and ended up realizing that they barely scratched the surface.

Though not required to learn deeper aspects of development, having a team, partner or mentor goes a heck of a long way. It’s like learning the piano. You can hit all the right notes but it doesn’t mean you have musicality.

If that’s how my basement light was set up I definitely wouldn’t close the door to the entrance.

Oddly, it’s not monsters I fear but cockroaches. I guess they’re like tiny little monsters to me.

I’m getting downvoted for being happy? I never said others should become parents but okay.

Totally can relate as a father but there are too many wonderful things about having my son that an infinite amount of panels to describe the joy would not be enough to showcase it.
