Such a great album opener. I love when people are hearing it for the first time and turn up the volume to hear the intro better and then, well, you know…

I’ve never played the board game because a) it’s pretty pricey and b) I don’t have a consistent group to play it with. I also do love digital adaptations of epic board games because it makes managing turns, cards, health etc way easier. That being said, this port of Gloomhaven is clearly very taxing on the aged hardware of the switch. I’m sure the PC version of the digital adaption runs better/faster/prettier etc. I’ve been playing by myself and despite all my complaints about the switch version, still thoroughly enjoying it.

I’ve been obsessed with gloomhaven since it was released on the switch. Sure it has a lot of UI issues and absolutely devours my switch’s battery life but it really scratches a heavy strategy itch in my brain. It is a very difficult game but with every failed “run” you keep all the gold and experience you gained so even failing a scenario helps progress you towards leveling up and being able to buy new items to help you in future endeavors. Every win I have eked out has felt really hard won and rewarding because of that.

[email protected] is probably the community I’m most active in. It’s a welcoming community for anyone who brews their own alcohol (mainly beer focused I would say but some people have made mead and other wines).

Baconeater eat bacon. Bacon tasty!

They look like Yorkshire Puddings so I would guess they taste pretty similar. They are savoury and don’t taste of too much by themselves (but are fantastic smothered in gravy)

Mine is currently “Yer a WiFi Harry”

Nice! I backed the kickstarter as soon as it came out but I haven’t played the game yet on TTS. I did watch Jorbs stream it with one of the developers and it looked awesome. “This is the first time I’ve ever needed one more gold at the store and the devs have actually stopped by to give me one more gold”

The skeptic in me just reads this as “all seats will now be at the higher price”

I would certainly characterize myself as a tech-enthusiast rather than from a technical background. I have a Chemistry degree and work in a tangentially related field (Brewing industry) though mainly on the sales/retail side rather than production. I don’t code but it’s certainly something I am interested in. I’ve set up a Pi-hole on my home network and have a small Plex-Server streaming downloaded media (as I try in vain to disentangle myself from the myriad of streaming services that exist).

Yeah from the article it seems the “senator” is a reference to Bernie Sanders.

A more accurate title would read as follows:

Fran Drescher the SAG-AFTRA president and Bernie Sanders the “fiery Senator” discuss ‘fight against corporate greed’ and Bob Iger amid actors’ and writers’ strikes.

She is the current president of Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA)

Hive is a great travel game! It’s small (so therefore easy to transport) and just requires any flat surface to play on. It’s a turn based game where your objective is to place tiles (which have different bugs on them) to surround your opponents Queen whilst also defending your own Queen from being surrounded. It has a surprisingly deep level of strategy involved for such a simple game.

Galaxy Fold 4

I never get tired of being able to use the front screen for simple browsing and quick access to things and then unfolding the phone to use the main screen for watching videos or playing games etc. I do have a few multi app pairs set up for certain specific scenarios (e.g. I have a Google calendar/Google keep app combo that is great for when I’m meal planning for the week and want to be able to add items to a grocery list at the same time). I truly don’t think I would be happy going back to a non-folding phone in the future.

I dislike the battery life of the phone. That’s probably my biggest complaint and honestly it’s not unmanageable. I’ve always got a giant 21,000 mAh battery pack in my backpack anyway so charging the phone a bit during the day if I’ve been hammering the battery watching YouTube for example isn’t a problem for me. I’m a ideal world the battery life would be better and this wouldn’t be necessary but it’s not the end of the world.

The under-display camera on the inner screen is truly terrible also but I almost exclusively use it for video chatting which already is bad quality usually just due to connectivity so it really doesn’t bother me. If I were to take selfies (which I just don’t do) I would use the camera on the front display. It is possible to unfold the screen and use the main cameras for selfies but as I said, I’m not a selfie taking kind of person.

This is wrong? Taking 20°C as an example. Following this formula gives 48°F when it should be 68. Could you perhaps be supposed to add 32 instead of 12?

And no link to the actual tool in the article? For shame!

Here it is so you can have a play around with it.

Lighters were invented before matches! 1823 vs 1826

Absolutely. I’ve recommended it several times here on Lemmy in various best game/most played game type threads. I honestly cannot recommend Slay the Spire enough. It is an extremely easy game to learn (but like all the best games) tricky to master. Because of its Roguelike(ish) nature, it is infinitely re-playable with each run having a different feel.
