Don’t forget, Madame Web was this year too.

Congrats on the three promotions mate :)

I have enough games in my steam library that I could never buy another game, and be perfectly content

So, just Rimworld then.

Honestly though, same. I was really interested in Ghosts of Tsushima when it launched. Now years later it’s finally on PC but it costs more than I usually pay for new games. Fuck that. The only way I’m buying a PS5 is if a friend wants one and is willing to let me get it, play FF7 & 16 then sell it to them in a few months.

Damn right. There are approximately infinity other games to play, they had their chance.

That’s been happening for ages. I’m sure if you check the profiles you’ll find other posts with all the same bots commenting. A lot of lazier ones wait exactly a year to repost, and it’s pretty obvious in subs for something like a live service game where they’ll be reposting complaints that are way out of date. One in the Monster Hunter sub reposted a trailer for Iceborne which had been out for 3 years by that point.

More screen space with the taskbar on the side. I only use taskbar icons so I don’t have (or want) programs stretching across the whole bottom of the screen, they just bunch up together in the top corner. Also 99% of the websites I’ve used in the past decade have had big spaces on both sides to allow for smaller resolutions, so losing that couple of blank centimetres means I gain a couple vertically that actually get used by the site.

On the Connect app on mobile I get

Private mode detected! In order to read our site, please exit private/incognito mode or login to continue.

I could copy it into Firefox easily enough, but if they don’t want me looking at their site then I won’t 🤷‍♀️

Jesus, adblock detectors are one thing, but news sites are even blocking private mode now. People not reading past headlines is enough of a problem already without it being enforced.

Right. More often than not when these posts pop up you can check their comment history and see exactly why they keep getting banned.

Well, at least Abbott’s gone and, let’s see… has just been nominated for a position at Fox Corporation’s board of directors by the new Murdoch who appears to want to be worse than the old one. Oh boy.

deserves to be frog stew (as in that boiling frog metaphor). I’d love to be proven wrong though.

Professor Hutchison says: “The legend is entirely incorrect! The ‘critical thermal maxima’ of many species of frogs have been determined by several investigators. In this procedure, the water in which a frog is submerged is heated gradually at about 2°F per minute. As the temperature of the water is gradually increased, the frog will eventually become more and more active in attempts to escape the heated water. If the container size and opening allow the frog to jump out, it will do so.”

Alright Lavrov, grab a gun and get moving.

Only text channels I believe. There’s a sidebar sort of like the one in the actual Discord app that shows your inbox, SMS, Messenger, etc. Discord servers show up in there, then when you select one it shows you the list of channels as though they’re regular conversations. You can set whether or not they show up in your inbox and/or notify you individually for each channel, and the ones you don’t want you just set to low priority and they’ll be hidden. It’s not a perfect replacement, but if you don’t need voice/streaming it works fine.

Since it’s been mentioned here but nobody’s said anything else about it yet, Beeper is nice because it connects a bunch of different apps and everything syncs instantly between PC and mobile. I personally use it for Matrix, a couple of Discord servers, Messenger (for those friends who won’t leave) and SMS.

Liftoff is my favourite so far, but every time I use it I get the theme song from the old Australian kids show of the same name stuck in my head and it drives me insane.

I used Boost for a couple of years and will almost certainly be switching back to it as soon as it’s available, it’s set to download immediately from the play store when it releases.
