I feel like aside from full-on accessibility settings for those who need them (which absolutely should be implemented and the FromSoft devs don’t get a pass on this), they could do something as simple as a 2% speed, health, & damage nerf to all their enemies and it could be enough for most newcomers that have paid for the game, but didn’t get anything out of it. Like me. There are probably a huge amount of people that bought the game because of glowing “this is GOTY” reviews and couldn’t get past even Margit.

I just started using Proton mail’s aliases for that and love it. If I see a bunch of spam coming to one particular alias, I’ll just delete it and make a new one. So far, it’s been great

I have great service with IT people because I do this by default. I’ll have already tried some steps myself, so I’ll give them info about what exactly works, doesn’t work, and things that I can or can’t do that might be related to the main issue.

They really appreciate the detail.

Putting it behind the number makes way more sense though, because you don’t read it as “dollar 15”

So I petition to make it okay to write “15$”

Fucking eating just too much that I can’t meet my weight loss goals.

I’m not overweight by any means, but if I don’t fix my diet, all the exercise I do isn’t worth nearly as much.

As a very new PC gamer, supplementing my long time Xbox gaming, the biggest advantage of consoles is that games always work OOTB (or OOTDownload).

Sometimes with PC gaming, a game just doesn’t run for whatever reason, or you get crashes, or any other weird issues. Most people don’t want to have to tinker in settings just to get consistent framerates.

Including myself, because I don’t have a lot of time to play and I don’t want to waste that time troubleshooting.

And the DLC though was absolute garbage. I had paid for the season pass and it felt like they released a bunch of stuff that should have been free.

I liked Wonderlands, even though it felt a bit short and wasn’t really as funny or gritty as the first two.

Since BL 3, it’s felt like the games devolved into a very childish humor, not in a clever way, but just an unfunny way.

Like, I know the first two games weren’t the peak of intelligent humor, but at least it felt they were intentional about how they utilized less mature jokes.

And the gameplay and stories haven’t been as good since BL2. Handsome Jack really stole the game in the best way.

Typical Grandpa

Ever Upward to the Middle.

I know for absolutely fucking sure I won’t be at the proverbial “top” of society. But since I moved out of my parents house, I’ve slowly been making my way into a solid middle class, fairly comfortable position. I’m a dad, a husband, a typical working class American and I’m pretty satisfied right now.

So we’ll see, I’ll keep moving up, but I’m not going to break the middle of anything.

Generally higher storage sizes too, right? So if you want the max storage, go with 3.5"

I’ve been really enjoying the Proton suite of mail, drive, and VPN. Don’t use proton pass because I have to log in to sites from locked-down systems too often, but the aliases tool in Proton Mail is great.

(Not a paid shill, I pay proton because I want to get away from Google)

Yeah, I would prefer not to use Google, so I’m going to figure out how to use another authenticator. I wish Proton had the ability to be an authenticator, but I haven’t seen a way to do that yet.

But all my family has a Google account, so it just makes things easier.

I just got this working today and can say it’s quite an elegant solution. It means anyone with a Google account (that I allow through Cloudflare settings) can take advantage of immich. I plan to be the storage server for my family so they can have automatic photo backups.

If you decide to go that route and have questions, hit me up. I spent a while troubleshooting issues caused by not creating a SaaS application in Cloudflare, so read the directions exactly.

Hmm, I’d always understood ellipses to mean a thought was trailing off, or as a written indicator of someone thinking as if taking a pause while speaking.

I was never taught that’s what it means, just seems that’s how most people use it.

I have the 2021 Mazda3 Hatchback Premium Plus, so I have all the options (the COVID used car prices were great for when my previous one got totaled, the insurance company really paid out). It was brand new when I bought it. I have very few issues with it.

It’s quick, fun to drive, and feels really premium for not being priced insanely. I personally think it’s comfortable, but if you’re looking for more space, it’s probably not the way to go. For example, the front seats aren’t very usable with a rear-facing car seat in the back. The trunk space is pretty good imo. But I hate large cars in the first place.

I don’t use Android Auto or CarPlay because I enjoy the ease of use of the built-in system. The control scheme uses a dial between the seats where your arm rests, so it’s really easy to keep a hand on the wheel and navigate menus with it. There are also some quick buttons and a volume knob. The software could use a little work because sometimes album art doesn’t show up, but that’s mostly been fixed by changing Bluetooth settings on my phone. I truly don’t think there’s a better way to build a car control system.

I can’t speak on reliability of my own car, but my mom had a CX-5 and it seemed to last a good while without maintenance issues. I’ve personally had no problems so far. I’ve had good luck with Mazda dealership service too and I’ll probably stick with getting maintenance from them just so I can be sure someone who knows how those cars are built is working on it.

If Mazda comes out with an EV that has decent range and doesn’t utilize a touchscreen, I’d for sure get like, the 3rd or 4th generation of it (because 1st and 2nd Gen anything can suck.

I have a Mazda (not an EV) and am loyal to the brand because of their dial system. The dial makes it so easy to navigate menus without taking my eyes off the road for long

Strangle like Toby

Because that’s what it would be.

I’d actually be less mad, I think, if it turned out to be a Kaufman prank.

I’d still want him in prison though.

This is what’s so wild about my relationship with my first. I love her so much it literally pains me. I can’t get enough of the smiles and hugs and laughter.

I can’t imagine it would be different with a second, but eventually they grow up and become their own people.

You don’t get to choose your family and I don’t think it’s always possible to be friends with your parents. (Mostly because I don’t think I’d be friends with my dad outside of our familial relationship).

But I would hate for that to happen with even just one of my children.
