I’ve been playing for about 45 minutes so far and it has met my expectations for sure. First game I’ve bought on day 1 in a long time. Reasonable price + original idea + good features + reasonable requirements are such a rarity nowadays except in indie titles. This game plays at 60 fps on medium (good graphics and rarely dipping below 53 fps) on my Steam Deck. It’s fluid and flows great. I am enjoying the gameplay a lot. Feels like a classic shooter on the level of classic Bioshock and Doom with a great art style and atmosphere.

When I bought my home, the fridge had a big ol burn spot on the side of it from the stove being right next to it lol. That’s probably what people may be referring to. I never use those two burners because of that despite getting a new stove and fridge since moving in just seeing that. Also the refrigerator sides will naturally get hot/warm as they expel heat from normal operations, so putting it next to something that is hot can be somewhat counterproductive for that too. Not going to cause it to overheat, but may not be the best position if you can help it. Kind of like how you wouldn’t want to put a heater positioned near your gaming PC if you want the best possible performance.

I just set up a Windows 11 PC this week for testing (did it through a USB installer upgrading from Windows 10 Pro) and I was able to use the bypass OOBE/BYPASSNRO in command prompt and was able to create using a local account. I kept it offline without connecting to the internet during setup into getting to the desktop. This was using the latest Windows ISO on Microsoft’s website.

Safe to say, I think it still is doable even going the reset method in Windows. Just keep it offline during initial setup.

I knew a Pilipino family that seemed to pronounce it both ways.

I tend to think it’s due to those around them. Like this kid I knew from school who came from the UK; with us as his friends, he had an American accent like the rest of us. But as soon as he talked to his parents or his sister, he had this heavy English accent. He seemed to be aware of it but had no control over it.

Many stories are heavily one sided. We only ever get one person’s side of the story and that person experienced it in one way and often doesn’t take the other person’s side into account. Not necessarily because they’re a bad person, but because that’s just how humans are. We don’t often put ourselves in someone else’s shoes and look at the situation differently or can always give someone else the benefit of the doubt.

“My boyfriend left last night without saying goodbye which he never does so obviously this means something is wrong.” When in reality, he did say goodbye, but we just couldn’t hear it over the sound of the TV in the other room. Everyone hearing the story agrees that is weird behavior and jumps to the worst conclusion along with the OP.

And then it just being the internet, people often go to the extreme on things and everyone has their own perspective from their own experiences and cultures around the world. One guy hears a story of a woman going out with her friends and he remembers how his girlfriend from years ago used to do that and she was actually cheating on him, so of course his trauma has him viewing that story through his own lens and going to the worst possible conclusion.

People forget details which can make things sound worse than they are, or they just forget to include some things that don’t always seem relevant which can greatly impact how a situation actually unfolded and give others the wrong idea. “We had an argument last night about something stupid that he’s jealous of me hanging out with my girlfriends”, neglecting to mention that he has a valid reason because you were doing some suspicious things years ago in this same way. Anyone hearing the story from your point of view is going to conclude you are the victim there without that additional context you neglected to include.

And then it just is how it is. What other advice can people realistically give? Stay with them is the only other alternative most people can muster up. Beyond that, go to therapy and that’s it. No one really has much else to offer in the way of sympathy and judgment. No one realistically knows how to navigate someone else’s relationship and all its unique dynamics, let alone their own relationships and all the variables life throws at them. We often only ever think a situation only has two options and nothing else, “break up or stay together”.

Count Dooku looking good with long hair!

It portably wasn’t that hard to do. The ROI of something like this was probably worth it even if only a small amount of people will actually use it.

I tried as well and mine worked too.

Granted, I had the iPhone app open and then opened the Watch app right after and it worked.

Maybe try force closing the Watch app (double tap side button and then swipe it away) and then try reopening with the iPhone app open.

Why exactly does this need to run a full OS?

I’d like this. There’s always some obscure movies you can’t get that someone else may have that aren’t yet on torrent sites.

It took me over a decade to find Who Made the Potatoe Salad until it finally popped up on some torrent site a few years ago. Would have been nice to have this for that and to share some of my obscure movies too. I have a wide collection still just sitting on my shelf since it’s all digital now.

In case if the coop ever gets shut down or I lose my membership, it’d be nice to have a reliable database so I can get my movies back.

She’s been outed as not being the nice person she appears to be on TV. There was a big controversy a few years ago that some of her crew had a lot of stories about her behaviors behind the camera that show that she wasn’t such a nice person to the people who helped make her show a reality.

I don’t remember specifics, but it’s not hard to find if you go looking for videos or articles on it. From what I remember, it was the typical diva sort of behaviors like don’t look her in the eye and being rude to others. Nothing too too serious like sexual assault but still not nice stuff and people view her as a phony since.

There were also some things she did to guests like when she “forced” Mariah Carey to reveal she was pregnant by offering her alcohol and Mariah basically had to admit she was pregnant as to why she wouldn’t drink alcohol. Kind of a shitty thing to do to someone.

Agreed, this is classic for that. Even a perfectly scanned document into OCR almost always has errors. I have set it up for a lot of people and I always stress that you need to go in and review what got scanned because there has never been a time I have seen it get everything spelled correctly or in the right format as it was.

Same as AI. Anything you get from an LLM should be reviewed. Too many people just blindly trust whatever gets spit out without ever reviewing.

That name is purrfect! Callie is such a cutie

I know the pain, but both of those touchless options always suck. The water never stays on or doesn’t turn on unless you motion in one specific weird spot that’s either too close or too far away. And those dryers never dry your hands well enough. I’m grateful they never had touchless doors in the same way.

Though I have seen newer foot style doors that have a small piece of metal at the bottom you can “grab” and pull open.

I bought a brand new 4GB off Amazon last year that is supposedly made by Sandisk. Seems legit and been using it with one of my 3D printers.

Impossible to find them in any brick and mortar store anymore. It’s so dumb because they come in handy and I hate thinking of wasting larger drives with so many writes.

Now is the perfect time with memory being so expensive.

All subscriptions inevitably turn to shit

I gave up on ever being able to use Wayland while having this Nvidia GPU. That sounds promising.

I didn’t know that was a thing but makes sense. Do banks have a similar name to it like credit cards have chargeback?

That makes sense on the fees, I had forgotten the fees they get charged for processing plastic.

So this is why some gyms like mine are now doing discounts for using a checking account. I wondered why that was when I set up my account last year.
