Incredible. Given how expensive dental treatment is in a lot of places, this could be revolutionary for people who can’t afford regular checkups and/or treatment plans. It’s not going to be a replacement but it can certainly mitigate a lot of damage.

- EthicalDogMeat@lemmy.worldtoGames@lemmy.world•Do you find the description Live Service Game off-putting?English6·2 years ago
I’m not a fan of it. I think live service games generally comes with battle passes, which are essentially preordering DLCs. DLCs that have not been announced, with no details and nothing else. They also often offer some exp bonus or in game items. I think this has an impact on how the game is balanced. The bonuses can’t be game breaking so they have to nerf the base game experience to make it “valuable”.
I think it can be done well if the base game is free. Dota 2 and csgo are good examples of it because the bonuses that come with battle passes are mostly cosmetic, and they help the support game development. If the base game is £60, then the company can fuck off. I prefer standalone games with expansion packs being released at a later time. Being able to play offline is also great, even though I am rarely without Internet access.

I get that it’s a youtube video but Dr Mike knows his stuff. He goes through WHO’s recommendations and gives his practical input on the matter.

I think it’s fine. You do you.
Contrary to popular belief, diet soda is completely fine in moderation (like 20 cans per day limit), assuming your teeth/guts can handle the acidity. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCDqqVwYMa4
Coffee typically doesn’t have much or any sugar in it. It’s caffeine, water, milk. It has more caffeine than soda so it feels better to take it in the morning

I bought a tiny one from “Jyarz” but there are plenty of options out there. I do like my Jyarz though. There’s no odour leak, and it keeps the weed fresh

Used to grind fresh every time but I have a tiny air tight container now that I use to make reloading easier. I only keep about 3 bowls worth in it though.
I’m not a heavy smoker so 3 bowls lasts me for the entire work week

I calculate the yearly cost. Or at times, I’ll calculate how many hours I need to work to “earn” it

I lost 18 minutes of progress. I continued from my old save at around 1705
After a few hours, I closed the game and saw the update had come out at 1712
Oh well, still has fun replaying those segments
This sums up very well how I went from “lmao I could never give up meat or dairy” to being a vegetarian and then vegan.
Companies do whatever gives them more money. As long as people keep buying animal products, they’re going to continue to destroy our forests, land, and oceans.
I failed my first few rolls, resulting in me missing out on a party member… I didn’t even know until I reached act 2. Then I lost another party member due to missing some dice rolls. Then I ran into a huge mess due to a bug, where some enemies were not waiting for their turn. They straight up ran into the battle, and ganked an important npc; resulting in a really really bad result (affected one of the companion quests I wanted to see to the end). I blame the bug for that result so I save scummed that. I have no regrets though since the game forced that problem on me.

I don’t have any specific games to play after work. I just play whatever I’m enjoying most. Currently, that game is baldurs gate 3. I haven’t played anything else since Thursday. Before that, it was Spiritfall. It’s a roguelite with brawlhalla/smashbros type combat fused with hades’ blessings power ups. It’s still in early access but it’s pretty polished, and a lot of fun. I was also playing risk of rain 2 from time to time but boy does it take a while to get good at that game…
Both games are great. Blooms TD is a great way to kill time. The sounds of balloons popping take a while to get old.
I haven’t played loop hero since launch but it may be time to replay it

Your nug looks top tier as well

Yup. Fuck Ubisoft. The last game from them was Child of light, and it will stay that way.

Nier Replicant
I reached ending A, and I’m finally beginning to see interesting differences in the current route. Finally got my Dualsense controller to work via Bluetooth on pc as well
Might as well pee in the lava pool
