I’ve been recently watching those graphs too, and it’s mind blowing how huge those numbers are.
I haven’t really done the math, but it seems like peak times are later day in Asian countries, so I do wonder if it’s the same releases that are driving the big numbers, ie Forza and Subnautica
Huzzah, thank you for the full breakdown, I really appreciate it!
Hmmm, I’ve been looking at jobs in the hope I can make my transition easier, but it sounds like I’ll need the social insurance number before I can really be hired. Catch 22.
But still, thanks a bunch!
Yeah I’ll have residency and access to most social programs until I become a citizen, but it’s 3 years of residency and then passing the test for citizenship. I figure there’s likely courses offered by universities or libraries or whatnot for the test. Or at least workbooks.
But we’re not entirely sure if my partner will get a green card. She’s rather uncomfortable with the US in general right now and doesn’t think her opinion will change unless something drastic happens and we swing vastly the other way politically. Fingers crossed, but I am running out of any glimmer of hope.
Fingers crossed it doesn’t, friend. But yeah… Oof
Ohh good to know about the AI gen. Ugh. That’s just bullshit.
But yeah, been looking at the canada.ca ones and am aware of BCs slightly different healthcare things - ie medications aren’t covered except maybe sometimes. It’s weird.
But thanks for the rest!
Love this game so much. Wish my friend group played it more often.
Also a bummer their 2nd game seems to be bad
I’m not an expert on any of this, so grain of salt.
But for the bugs, can you just plant things that will help keep them away and use other methods that aren’t the sprays? Diatomaceous earth, lemon grass, CO2 traps, things like that? Or maybe just a big fan pointed at you so nothing can land?
For your hair, if you’re set on the sprays, maybe look up how sikh wraps work?
Pamukkale in Turkey.
It’s a really cool hot springs area where the minerals are super saturated in the water and so deposit out in calcium carbonate. Over time it becomes travertine. But just the location itself looks super interesting.
In a similar vein, the salt flats in Utah. When there’s been a rain and there’s standing water over the flats, it becomes a huge reflection - absolutely fantastic set piece for both some unique RP or for a really interesting battle.
Thanks for the tip
Yeah that’s how it’s been for me too. I left for Lemmy and deleted my 15 year account too when they announced to take down 3rd party apps.
I’ve been visiting the Best Ofs, but this stupid pop up won’t let me scroll at all anymore. So. There’s now nothing for me there.
I saw the reposts and that’s just lazy nonsense.
This was a separate thing of me being frustrated. Coincidental, I suppose ¯\(°_o)/¯
I agree with you. Coming up on at least my second year here and I do love it, but I miss some parts of having the bigger crowd.
I know, I know, reddit sucks ass. I’ve been using firefox with ublock to read the best ofs for the unquenchable need for bullshit drama in my life.
But now it’s not just a pop up saying to use the app, but a full ass unpassable thing. Old Reddit still works, but that’s just another step for something that’s already so not worthwhile.
Welp…
Ohh yeah, I’m using Löve Solitaire and it has a tonne of games as well. I’ve played probably about 20 or so new varieties I’d never seen before. But I’ll check out that one too
I’ll check it out!
:O
Genius
Ooh that was fun. I usually avoid Klondike because there’s no guarantee of being able to win. But I’ll keep this one around
Not OP, but I used Xbox controllers for a long time. I kept breaking them (I have gorilla grip problem), so I got an Xbox pro because I didn’t like how the ps3 or ps4 controllers were laid out. I broke the pro controller.
I’ve switched to a ps5 controller and aside from getting re-used to the button names, it’s been really nice. Super comfy and is holding up really well. I miss some things on my pro controller, but so far this is great.
In all of that,I did use the OG steam controller for a while too and I loved that one, but my hands were too small for some functions, so I couldn’t keep using it.
An 8bitdo controller is next on my list after the ps5 maybe breaks, as I’ve heard very good things.

Gridland is less casual, but I enjoy it. Turn off the music at first opportunity tho.

I love Pistol Whip, absolutely, but it’s harder for me to feel the music and the rhythm in that one. I’ve tried a bunch to stay on beat, but when you’re dodging like mad and sweating and there’s suddenly a guy on your left from a niche in the wall, it feels harder to be one with the music.
Grain of salt - I have a very deep relationship with music, so for me, beatsaber let’s me feel the music in a new way and syncs the rhythm and the sounds just right (on well mapped levels).
Synth Riders tries to emulate that feeling, but it feels a little more clunky and a lot more like dancing. Which is fine, the dancing is fun, but just not totally there in all songs.
The drumming viking one seems like it’d be fun, but less interactive than Beat Saber.
I did recently see a clip of one where you’re a conductor for an orchestra? I don’t have a CR set right now (and am waiting for the steam frame with bated breath) but that one looked really good.
