Nah that trash isn’t touching my phone unless I’m homeless and starving

Try speed reading. Like faster than is comfortable. I was the same way til I realized my casual reading pace is too slow to keep me interested. I still struggle to get interested but once I am, zooooom

I hope so. I read atomic habits and it fed into my delusions of grandeur but nothing stuck. I don’t think it was written for us

Never buy chain pizza at menu price. They all run specials all the time, that are around half off. They keep menu prices high so that they can constantly run buy one get one promos and specials to make you think you’re getting a deal. They also happen to gouge people who won’t bother checking the deals section

Fwiw the switch is also significantly more portable. I love my deck but I only use it at home in bed or on the couch. I wouldn’t really try using it in public.

Saved me a click through, I’m not mad about it

I use it every day in the same way I used to use Google. It’s great for quick syntax reminders or low stakes ‘searches’. If I want to know where to go in a video game, I’m always going to get an answer faster from chatGPT than Google, and it’s not the end of the world if it hallucinates, although that has never even been a problem for me yet. Meanwhile Google just indexes ‘recipe blog’ type articles where you have to scroll past dozens of ads and drivel before you get to the actual info you’re looking for.

If you treat it like old Google with a healthy dose of skepticism it’s a very powerful tool. My only complaint is that it doesn’t source it’s info so I can’t follow up or dive deeper very easily.

But why? These were never more popular than traditional mice

Sounds like you’re a millennial with gen alpha kids. The latest generation is struggling to read and write, while millennials are the best typists

This happens to me when I add a word to the dictionary but it happened to be the first word of a sentence at the time I added it, so it got capitalized and now the dictionary thinks it’s a proper noun

T9 just adapted the earlier lettering that phones already had on the numbers. ‘1-800-COL-LECT’ Never intended you to type it as ‘1-800-222666555-555332228’, you’d just dial 1-800-265-5328. but that’s what you’d have to do to write it with T9.

They’re delisting in regions without PSN. The irony of Helldivers is they backpedaled on PSN requirement but left it delisted in those countries. So people who already bought it can still play but new people can’t buy, so the player base is steadily declining.

I’m glad they put the real headline in the URL so I don’t have to click the bait. I hate the Internet now. It’s like they want us to stay exclusively on the big platforms

I didn’t see a single hitscan weapon in the entire trailer. Even the sniper was leading shots. Chaingun seems to be back for all weight classes instead of a dozen different ‘assault rifle’ weapons with short mags. Maybe they actually learned their lesson on how to make a tribes game this time.

It was severely mismanaged as early as the closed beta. I think they failed the execution so heavily that honestly the best option was to sunset it. The big blue update or whatever was actually a pretty pro-consumer move all things considered.

I might be ready to forgive them if they can execute this time. No f2p seems a little too reactionary especially in the current climate of fortnite, Apex, overwatch 2, Valorant, cs2, etc, but I’m cautiously optimistic for now.

I’d be happy if I could land a web dev role for 40k at this point

On steam deck I just install them with Steam forcing it to run in proton. Works great

I don’t really agree at all.

The overwhelming majority of people are going to be calling from a cell phone with data access now. It’s time to consider including data access to emergency services w/ emergency roaming functionally just like we do with calls and sms. A system can and should be built out to provide emergency gps, video + information services like we described and live video calls. We have the technology we just have to cut through bureaucracy.

Providing advanced smartphone functionality in emergencies could be hugely beneficial.

Ok here’s a response. I pirated cyberpunk on release fully expecting it to be buggy. I enjoyed bits of it at the time but I stopped because it was too buggy and unpolished.

This is CD Project Red’s track record, but somehow everyone forgot about how bad Witcher 3 was. I expected this 2.0 update eventually and I’m glad they started another marketing push, so that I can know it’s time for the game to actually be ‘done’. Obviously they paid streamers to show the game, that’s no secret. But also it looks genuinely better, just like Witcher 3. So I’ll probably actually buy it next time it goes on sale, after pirating it to see if it’s worth it now.

Meanwhile Starfield looks exactly like the milktoast Skyrim reskin I expected it to be, with nothing really standing out. Bethesda has been slowly comodifying their games since Morrowind -> Oblivion then followed an obvious template since Skyrim. It really shows in their boring designs.

Cyberpunk was trying to do too much, but Starfield isn’t doing enough.

They should also be able to rapidly provide instructional video in the year 2023
