Also chiming in here to say I’m not a fan of the new design. It’s too… cute I think? It takes the “PG rating” edge away from how the original looks and looks more like a Minions movie.

Dread. The movement feels incredible and I feel like its map naturally leads players to the next relevant area the best without as much backtracking and getting lost. Brilliant game.

Some More News did an excellent piece earlier this week on why “return to office” is a thing now. https://youtu.be/-JQKYzcmhyQ?si=Q8QR9p_RilA2JNRd

He’s my pick - well deserved.

Nine Inch Nails, Newfound Interest in Connecticut, Sunny Day Real Estate, Brittany Spears, Akiko Yano, Hank Williams III.

I’'m a big fan of Some More News on YouTube.

I’ve been playing Like a Dragon 8 the past few weeks and am blown away by good it is. I love this series.

A game starring the Mad Dog in Hawaii? Inject it into my veins.

Sysadmin for a living here - Teams breaks constantly in our office. Multiple people report issues with Teams not starting or not functioning properly on a weekly basis.

This is true for Windows 11 as a whole, truthfully. Windows 11 can eat my ass for many reasons.

It’s frustrating to see Buffalo routinely be a competitive team year in and year out and then watch games like this.

I swear it feels like everything goes the Eagles’ way any time I watch them. Hard to overcome shit like this if you’re the Commanders rn.

Saquon is such an unbelievable difference-maker.

Cowboys fan here - fuck.

I agree that people are resistant to change. This is a tough problem to overcome… change comes from within.

I also agree that the fediverse doesn’t necessarily need how it works overexplained to a new users. Many car-owners probably don’t even have a basic understanding of how a motor vehicle works and yet in the US it’s hard to imagine living without one. What matter is that it’s intuitive to use and isn’t too complicated to learn.

I think if I can take a stab at tying both of these points together regarding growing the fediverse it’s that continued development of the fediverse applications are essential. Give people an intuitive product that works and the masses will want to come use it. Give people products that are easy to learn and function properly. And of course the beauty of open source projects are that anyone and everyone with programming know-how can help with this. Lemmy has gotten way better since I first joined but of course there’s still room for improvement.

Tech literacy is definitely a problem. I see laziness from from fellow sysadmins on making the switch to Lemmy because “it’s too confusing”. I’ve seen some decent graphics people have made attempting to simplify how this all works - I bet having one handy when convincing a friend to join would be helpful.

On a similar note - patience and understanding will be big. If a newbie makes an honest question and they get met with “RTFM” or anything similar then I think it risks a bad first impression of the community which could turn away someone that could’ve been a long time user. My philosophy will be to address any question, big or small, with respect. We should be happy someone is interested in learning more!

Carroll will give this program some much needed stability. Idk if they’re going to win any SBs with him but he’ll make them vastly more competitive than what they have been recently.

He’ll definitely lose some sleep over this game but no loss is ever on one person. I think he’s got some gas left in the tank but Likely has been pretty solid so he might be playing for someone else next year.

My favorite cheap + delicious+ filling meal is eggs and toast.

Peanut butter and banana sandwich is also dirt cheap and delicious.

I played the RE4 remake in its entirety four times in a row when it came out. The original is a good answer for this too.

I’m going to hop on the rateyourmusic bandwagon. I’ve been using it for many years and documenting the music you’ve heard by virtue of rating them is incredibly helpful to understanding your own taste and finding bands in a similar sub genre as your favorite music. The chart function is incredible.

Another way I discover new music is simply jotting down albums discussed in forums like this one that I haven’t heard before. The trick is not be too picky and just jump into anything and everything. Not everything will be a winner but I’ve discovered some of my favorite music ever by simply checking out projects that other users mention.

I really enjoyed my first listen. Definitely a different beast than Infest the Rats Nest. This new album almost seems like a mixture of that album and Ice, Death, etc since this is much proggier. These guys don’t miss!
