Generally I just start playing. If the game keeps my attention and I keep playing at some point all the various character abilities, what is valuable or not and managing items just clicks. And some days I just don’t feel like figuring stuff out so I play games I am familiar with.
Some Super Mario Wonder, GT7 and I just started Horizon Forbidden West. Probably those along with my usual FC 24 and MLB The Show. Those last two are great for a quick 15 minute session.
2020 was… truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn’t get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision...
Nothing lasts forever. In time, the continents will crash into each other once more, the sun will swallow the planet and, at some point long after that, The Simpsons will end. But that isn’t to say that it’s incapable of moving with the times before then. Because, in yet another nod to shifting tastes, Homer Simpson has...
Given that racists and slavers used the “natural physical strength” of black people to justify putting them on hard labor and some medics still think that blacks has higher resistance to pain, I wonder if when black athletes started to join mixed race sport teams, some racist would have used the same “biological...
There was an NFL commentator named Jimmy the Greek who said something like “they are bred to be a better athlete” on air. He was fired shortly thereafter. Can’t remember when it happened though, maybe the mid 1980’s. Not sure if he himself was racist or if he was just saying what popped into his head.
Had something like that happen to a local dev database (thankfully). A dev next me blurts out “how to I rollback an update in SQL server”? He was used to Oracle and how easy it is to rollback something. Had to explain that commit just happens in SQL server regardless of whether or not you put that commit line in.

Not a whole lot. One I used had no down votes and another kept going down. So I just stuck with lemm.ee but alot of the communities I use are on other instances. That is what I didn’t get at first, that you could subscribe to any community on different instances unless they got defederated from your instance.
Well, unlike my plan to return to Dragon Quest XI, I wanted to play another action game, so started Nioh. The game is even more difficult than Demon’s Souls, but I am really enjoying it....
In 2007, Canada started requiring all vehicles to have a cheap, effective anti-theft device. The U.S. didn't. Now, it is paying the price with a surge in Kia and Hyundai thefts.
Never heard of this guy but no one should be surprised by his actions. Seems like folks popular only on social media tend to be very thin skinned and entitled.
In ads, debates and public statements, the opposition campaign and top Republicans have increasingly been referencing “partial-birth abortions” as an imminent threat if voters approve the constitutional amendment on Nov. 7. “Partial-birth abortion” is a non-medical term for a procedure known as dilation and extraction,...
Because republicans only speak in terms that evoke fear from their voters. Doesn’t matter if what they say is actually true or not, they have no moral compass.
GT7 mainly running Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta. There is a race there this weekend and it makes me feel slightly better when I see pro drivers mess up the same corner I do.
I might check that one out, haven’t played a Forza game in years. The screenshots I saw had an IMSA GTP car so that might be enough for me to buy it this time around (on PC).
On the Switch nothing but did start playing the new EA FC game on the PS5. Honestly with MLB season ending / playoffs starting, the NFL in full swing and the EPL not on another break I am probably more focused on watching sports right now.
My take from the article is that if the companies are worried about making cars that cost more with higher union wages then maybe they should pay the C-level folks and shareholders less. The workers should be the most important part of the company.
