Advocates of the speciality coffee movement want to share the joy of elevating coffee from a daily medication to a highly pleasurable and nuanced experience that can be full of variety, and simultaneously respect for the plant and the process of bringing great beans into our home kitchens.

I respect that, since I’m already grinding my own specialty beans, albeit only using an aeropress. But at the same time, I’m not turning my nose up on the simpler “ignorant” joy of instant coffee., simply because I learned, made, and tasted more and more specialty coffee. Or “instant” anything from hobbies / movement that want to share the joy of elevating [insert thing here].

After rereading your comment, I see it. My bad.

Back when the world is simpler (because I was young and ignorant mostly) Moscow shocked me too. Had to study there for a few years and despite their gruff outward look they are some of the friendliest I’ve met at that time.

Only exception is riding the metro/tram during rush hour. Those babushkas aren’t playing around and will tackle you down

I think it’s odd in the sense that it’s supposed to be software so it should already know what 36 plus 59 is in a picosecond, instead of doing mental arithmetics like we do

At least that’s my takeaway

I doubt this is because of the recent tariffs. Nintendo is a cold calculating bastard of an old corpo they must have planned this for years.

So my assumption this isn’t caused by that but just pure greed.

No doubt they’ll jack up the price more because of orange fuckhead pissing to the wind

I wish the steam deck is smaller NGL.

Or even offered officially to purchase in my country.

I got flack in a group chat for being highly cynical that the games industry, at least the “AAA” publishers, will adopt the new pricing standard.

Nintendo is doing it. They can use a flimsy excuse that they are using a stupid proprietary cart. Gamefreak was already doing it to save cost on higher storage carts. Even then they ship unoptimized shit and people lap it up like swines

GTA 6 will definitely be $100 and have no flimsy excuse

Ubitencent will get to it eventually I reckon after they finish fucking each other

No, not all. It’s a an option. Basically yubikey DRM

Like even the game carts have a few choices for storage. For example, Pokemon pearl and diamond remake were notorious to go with the smaller storage carts where half the game is only downloadable

Yes CDPR is going to put an understandably storage optimized version of Cyberpunk and Phantom Liberty on a 64GB cart

Looking forward to it

Rooms for my plastic models, and a place to make an infinitely filled bar for my friends

Yeah I wouldn’t say meh, but so far in my experience live is always better just because of the energy of being there

Possible. It’s been years since I watched the show on YouTube.

Herbs, because there’s a frikking h in it.

Thanks Eddie Izzard for her skit, that still stuck with me.

They can deflect doubt because they are hunting pedophiles.

I honestly need some visuals for this. Never came across this at all

It is a hassle, even if very very slight. One you need to plug in something small. The other you just drop a big thing onto a slightly smaller big thing.

Arthritis, poor eyesight, poor lighting, temporary/permanent hand disability are some that I can think of that greatly benefits wireless charging and found plugging in a cable a hassle.

I’d never trust built in ones. They are almost surely the cheapest possible to implement just to tick a checkbox for marketing

I didn’t want to put piefed yet since it’s still developing, but pretty fast and hard to give them credit. Is one I most looking forward to because of their topics and feeds. I thought I’d appreciate mbin having built in sorry for microblogs, but I didn’t even explore much of it

Feels that way to me. I wasn’t there like at the very beginning, but was able to be in a few small subreddits turn big. Some turned to shit, some turned okay. Lemmy/mbin a.k.a. threadiverse seems like it was before my time I started with reddit
