Holy shit. These changes would be awesome. Not only would some of these changes help people in America, but I bet the ideas would spread elsewhere, too. Please oh please I want price gouging of groceries to stop.

Plus the rent stuff is huge too. People are struggling out here.

I’ve gotten a handful of raises over the past 4 years, and they have all been under inflation, so they might as well be demotions. LOL

I’m very sorry you’re going through this. Stay strong. I can’t claim to understand the nuances behind addiction (especially heroin) but give it your all. You can beat it.

I really like the switch. My only complaints are: I miss the 3DS like charm and customization.

I find it hurts to hold my switch in handheld for too long.

Otherwise, I think it’s a very neat machine

I’m in Canada and it’s not quite so dire. But I have noticed we are only getting like “main” titles in stores. If I go into a gamestop, their Xbox and play station sections are a quarter of what they were in 2008. The switch is in a much better state with a lot more physical copies (my guess is kids go into stores with their parents and ask for games, so it makes sense to have more physical copies).

I’m really torn because I like physical copies, but I’m also literally running out of living space. Additionally, so many games have patches with bug fixes on day 1. I’ve also been finding online has much steeper sales.

I kinda feel like the shift to online screws us all, though. Idk I’m just a giant ball of being conflicted about it lol

Dude, what a bummer. Like, I’m glad we have lemmy but there’s certain subs and such that reddit had that aren’t available here.

On one hand it has completely cured my reddit addiction, which is awesome. I’ve put a lot of time into more productive endeavors. But on the other hand, I do miss finding niche subs that had amazing communities.

Aaron Swartz wouldn’t have wanted this

The head of bungie spent a shit ton on classic cars, but they’re laying people off… I really want to see wtf happened to bungie internally. It went to shit the past decade.

I’m hit or miss when it comes to walking sim games but I really enjoyed firewatch

Thank you for breaking me out of the loop

I miss when bungie made halo. Bring back that bungie.

Laughs nervously in Canadian

It sucked when he was president. It emboldened all of the cockroaches in our society. Some of our politicians are trying to emulate him, and it’s working. Some people love dictators and bullies, I guess.

They’re currently causing more problems with our public health care as a way to then be able to present private health care as a solution. If they take away or ruin our health care, I don’t know where I would go or where I could go really. But I wouldn’t want to live under that kind of government that actively harms its population.

I think my favorite in the series is New Leaf so far. Granted, I didn’t play a ton of the GameCube version.

The only thing I wish new leaf did better was how you unlocked public works projects.

Additionally, villagers moving in and ruining your paths/designs was a pain. Otherwise, I thought the game was great. It could have used even more dialogue (which is crazy because it was already very long )

The games hit such a good mix of customizing, collecting, and discovery.

I’ve recently had the fortune of getting some paid time off of work. And wow. It’s incredible how much of a difference there is. I guess I got so used to a strict work schedule that now that I’ve experienced freedom, it’s going to be hard to go back.

Oh shit that’s not good. I suppose it’s bound to happen, though. Money talks.

Could happen anywhere

I’m Canadian but was surprised to recently see two types of onigiri in my local 7/11. I looked at it in shock, and then sighed because I would absolutely love that. But there’s no way in hell I’m eating that from a gas station.

I would end up like Fry from Futurama, but instead of worms that make me smart, knowing my luck, I would get a parasite/illness that puts me in a coma lol.

After I looked at it, I walked over to the slurpee machines and grimaced at the thought of gas station sushi while noticing how the floors are perpetually sticky/ moist and nothing looks clean

I did, however, notice slurpee themed merch, and I’m tempted to buy a shirt

Bernie is such a cool dude. I really want to see a timeline where he became president

Ohhh dammit. Of course. Man that sucks. Thank you for clarifying!

I was hoping they would make gold cheaper because that’s really all that I need. But of course they tack on every other thing and then raise prices even more.

As a rental service game pass is great. But at regular price it is too much for me. I’m gona miss converting 3 years of gold to ultimate, though, lol. I’ll be going back to the cheapest tier when I run out.

They rose the price of the game?

Thank you! I haven’t played the attack of the clones game on the GBA but I still have a copy of episode 3 which I remember enjoying thoroughly!

I suppose I could undervolt my pc…I’m not sure I would trust myself to do it without messing it up lol. I would probably need to jump back and forth quite frequently, so I wonder if that would be worthwhile. That gives me something to think about, though! Venting the heat out of the room is a very interesting idea. I’ve thought about so many ways of trapping the heat, cooling it down faster, magically poofing it out of the air lol.

It’s great in the winter though! It was -30 for a bit this winter, and I had to open my window for a bit to let the heat escape.

Nooo worries. I appreciate your thoughtfulness though. I’m trying to get used to it or figure out ways to adapt because I imagine it’s going to be smokey and hot like this (or worse) for the foreseeable future.

I did come up with a couple of ideas this weekend that I’ll have to try. I hooked up a big box fan with a furnace filter taped to the back, and that seems to help filter any smoke that comes in. Another idea I had was to tape the whole window with a garbage bag so that it’s completely airtight. Alternatively, I remembered that wetting a towel and waving it around a room is a great way to remove smoke particles from the air. So that’s also neat.
