Coincidentally I just learned where the name Jon Arbuckle came from. Jim Davis had heard the name of Yuban Coffee’s founder, John Arbuckle, and thought it sounded funny and distinct enough to base his comic around. I only found this out because of a video explaining the joke on “Airplane!” about the wife having an inner monologue that “Jim never had a second cup of coffee at home…” which was a well known Yuban commercial at the time.
Yep, I have a friend group who gets real about talking about the evils in all aspects of society, including gaming. But then we talk about how Blizzard has an incredibly toxic culture of harassment towards women and then I see they’re playing a Blizzard game. Like… Wtf. It’s like gamers take exception towards terrible companies as long as it’s the game we want to play.
That’s really weird. I use it for my out-of-band chat for work since we all mute our Teams after hours. It’s been reliable the entire 3 years we’ve been using it. Maybe I’m just really lucky?
Same, I have a small area on the edge of town with a road that only locals use which cuts through a lot of trees. All the older deer will wait and are rarely a hazard. All the fawns though? Gotta be extra careful of them.

I get why you’d dislike that wording, but this is also how all certificate stores work, regardless of whether we’re talking Secure Boot, Windows or Linux. Gotta trust the top level as providing legitimate certificates to then trust everything underlying as coming from the correct parties.
Certificate are something I work with constantly at work and I fucking hate resolving issues with them lol.
That was wild seeing Battle Beast after all this time. I saw it and immediately knew even though I haven’t played it since the 90s when I got it for free for some promo. I think it was the art style that was distinctive to me.
Looks like Pro controllers tbh. Right color for it, same indicators for who is player 1 and 2.
Damn that’s rough and sounds expensive!
It’s funny, the first few times I smoked a joint with a friend, it barely did anything at all to me. Never had any more for many years, and the next time I was completely couch locked and was hallucinating while watching TV. Either my tolerance changed drastically or my friend’s weed was weak as hell.
Oh it absolutely is, and I’ve got a low tolerance for alcohol too, which is pretty nice. I just wish that if I had to choose which of THC and CBD I had a low tolerance for, it’d be CBD.
Yeah unfortunately I’m the same way. Have tried several CBD things and not one of them do anything for me unless I go max dose, and even then it’s an incredibly mild effect. THC takes nearly nothing though, 15mg is enough for a very strong high. I have friends where the complete opposite is true and I would love to trade them.
That was a big reason I went with Emby. Not open source, but wasn’t necessary to me, and I wanted a cloud connect function that it handled well. And not all devices have a Jellyfin app that’s easy to install. My TV would require it to be rooted.
I see you were also traumatized by the floppy release. Lol
I had pre-ordered the CD release from Babbage’s, and went to pick that up. Being that I was only 15, I had to get a ride, and it was also 45 min each way, so this wasn’t exactly easy for me.
When I got home, I still hadn’t realized they gave me the wrong one and cracked it open to see the horror. Said screw it, I wasn’t going to be able to go back anytime soon and installed it for the next hour or more.
Luckily, because this was pre-activation key (we remember those days, right? … right??), when I took it back, they apologized and gave me the right one without much problem.
Only installed once from 14 floppies, but it still was terrible.
Completely agree. I will go out if invited out, but I don’t go looking for reasons to be out at all. Cabin fever is a non-existent feeling here.
I get why you hate it, especially when people put everyone in the To:, but you know what’s worse? Trying to have a conversation across multiple groups of people, and one person in the thread using Reply so it cuts everyone else out. There’s a reason Reply All is a default. Email is a tool that 90% use poorly.
I was in on the $5/mo for a long time. Even when I went to Linux while having dual boot for Windows when necessary, I kept my GamePass sub since it was so cheap. I finally dropped it after the big price hike, they just reminded me how much I don’t need Microsoft.
Lol same with first and fourth, just with difference speech bubbles and Superman.
You know what, very valid point. …I like you.
I’d rather kill NPCs I don’t like.
But seriously, looks interesting! I’ll keep an eye out for this one.
That’s exactly when I did it too since it had literally nothing to do with my own privacy settings but the privacy settings of friends. I now have an account on there with literally no info on it for connecting to things like my Meta Quest 3 (yeah I know, I hate that I gave them money too, but I like the occasional VR). It kinda was what made me stop using social media except for things like Lemmy.
