I managed to get myself back into Snowrunner this weekend following the Season 10 release. Honestly it’s my favorite expansion so far for two simple reasons: the second map has a garage, and all the warehouses (so far) have unlimited quantities of materials, instead of the limited set that has been the norm through most of Years 1, 2, and 3 (so far).
Otherwise, just grinding away on the OSRS group ironman as usual!
Honestly it could be just as simple as reddit spooling up the bots so the drop in users only looks low, when in fact the number of real people using the site plunged considerably.
Interestingly, Trey Parker and Matt Stone bought Casa Bonita in 2021 and they just reopened it this month.
Just make it so if you stop providing regular updates/servers/maintenance, etc. you lose the copyright
I only found out about the emoji keyboard when I got a Microsoft ergo keyboard at work, and it has a dedicated button for the emoji keyboard
Or maybe it has to do more with the region in which they’re lost. The USCG is typically very good about aiding anyone within their AOR, no matter their socioeconomic class. This should be framed more as “why isn’t Europe/Greece doing their jobs” than “why are the USCG/Canada actually doing their jobs”.
Didn’t Reddit already drop at least 40% in valuation from when they started the IPO process a year or so ago?
I can’t recommend Stardew Valley enough. It’s $5, but so absolutely worth it. Especially since there are no mtx, and is still getting updates, albeit a bit behind the PC version. One of the best uses of $5 on the app store imo
So we continue to negotiate with terrorists. Glad to hear it.
My cynical take is that the rights to any video games for those franchises are owned by the likes of EA, who just like recycling the same game over and over, year to year, because it’s cheap and easy and brings in a boatload of profit from Mtx. Developing a new arcade style sports game would cost money and not be the guaranteed cash cow of, say, Madden 23.
I gebuinenly would not be surprised if they wrote in an exception for the confederate dishtowel flag

He’s gonna end up with a public defender, isn’t he?
For the King (and coming soon, For the King 2) has been a go-to coop game with one of my buddies. It’s a turn based, low poly dnd-esque game with a handful of different campaigns. FTK 1 has 3 character parties, so one of us will just play 2 characters, but otherwise it’s pretty perfect for 2 people.
I have not! But I agree; you get all the portability of the Switch but the access to the game of a PC, so it’s pretty much perfect for that!
Yuuuup. I found it an hour or so after making this comment. It just wasn’t where I expected at first, which is really on me lol
It isn’t fully in the spirit of the post, but I really, really enjoyed the For the King 2 closed beta last month. The gameplay felt just a bit more complicated than the first one, but very much in the same vein, which is what I was hoping for. It does have a 2023 release date, however, so I’m hopeful!
I highly recommend PC Partpicker for compiling all your components (although I don’t typically follow the listed purchase links). The comparability checker it has can save some real headaches!
Otherwise, some general advice:
Remember the motherboard standoff screws. Most cases these days have them pre-installed, but my first rig did not. And I bent the mobo a little bit before realizing my mistake. It still worked in the end, but it’s now my #1 cautionary tale about PC Building.
Do yourself a favor, and make an attempt at proper cable management. It’ll make replacing components so much easier down the line.
Get a fully modular PSU (if in your budget). This will help with #2 above immensely.
Read the manual that comes with your motherboard. It usually has a lot of guidance for assembling the computer, especially if this is your first time.
Have fun! PC Building/Gaming is one of my favorite hobbies, and I’m always glad to see new people getting interested in it!
Good luck, and don’t be afraid to ask questions!
So far everything is just a case of getting used to it for me. I’m using the Jerboa app, and the two biggest improvements I can see right now are 1) allowing me to change the default sort (top, new, active, etc.). I can change it every time I open the app, but I’d like to be able to set it and forget it and 2) I’m not a huge fan of pinned posts staying at the top of my feed no matter how I’m sorting it, although this would also be solved by hiding already read posts, I suppose.
I mean, in that case, it seems to me that the right move is to add Food Not Bombs to the network and allow the city to refer people to them. This is a group of people who clearly care about their community, and they should be given every tool to help them succeed.
