But sometimes, that’s exactly what I want in a game. An interactive story that I can lose myself in for a week or two. I get invested in the characters, the plot, and the conclusion. I stress enough about my own problems that sometimes I need to stress about made up people’s problems.
I think a nice TL;DR for this is, Linux is great for tinkering, Windows is great if you want it to just work.
I agree, it’s not friendly for the layman.
Did you read my comment at all? I’ll assume not since I clearly said you can offer a rebuttal comment, but the upvotes remain on the parent comment.
You know you can downvote and offer constructive feedback at the same time, right?
Hard disagree. Down votes shouldn’t be disabled, and I’m disappointed that Beehaw has chosen to do this.
What about comments that give dangerous advice to an unknowing audience?
That’s one good reason for down votes. People may upvote it not knowing any better, and when someone comes along to correct them, the damage is done. Other knowledgeable people can’t downvote it to make sure that dangerous advice gets pushed to the bottom, they just have to hope those that upvoted come back, see the rest of the discussion, and remove their upvote.
Damn dude just text your wife instead of trying to automate your relationship…
Look, male, female, or otherwise, we’ve all peed out our butts at one point or another. And it’s never fun.
A pat on the ass seems way more “friendly” than a hug. Maybe that’s just me. If they’re comfortable with that, it’s kind of funny a hug is where they draw the line.
Tough for me to speak to your generation’s experience though. I’m a late 20s male, also grew up in the southeastern US in a rural area.
Never had a problem hugging my male friends or telling them I love them. Hell, we still do that in a rough “redneck” bar without hesitation, and I’ve never heard a comment or received a funny look.
Hell, most of the rough-around-the-edges men at those same places also hug their friends, give them a pat on the back when they’re proud, or respectfully listen to them when serious shit is going on. All age ranges too.
Like others have said, most men are accepting of those gestures from friends. You may get the occasional teasing, but that’s out of love and respect, not meant to be mocking or degrading.
Right? Don’t feel bad, you found a “vulnerability” and now you’re a hero
I feel like most of the people who advocate for biking everywhere don’t live in the US, or they live in a dense, metropolitan area where everything is just a few miles away.
Bikes will never be a solution to people in rural areas. You want people to bike 15 miles to the grocery store, then bike back with a small amount of groceries? Then repeat that several times a week since you can’t stock up all at once
Cars have a place, pretending they don’t and can be replaced by bikes entirely is a joke.
People need to focus more on EVs and sustainable, renewable, environmentally-more-friendly energy sources.
What does that have to do with anything? You gave dangerous advice to someone with unknown skill levels for handling batteries.
But yes, I do, and if you don’t know what you’re doing and puncture a cell trying to take the wrap off, you’ll have a bad time. Li-Ion fires are terrifying, and it makes no sense to replace a few cells when you can just get the whole damn battery for a few dollars more and mitigate the risk of burning down your house.
What kind of terrible advice is this?
Absolutely do not start ripping apart your old laptop battery to replace cells if you don’t know what you’re doing. Depending on the battery size and type, you might also not have many cells at all to replace.
You would be better off buying a cheap replacement battery, especially if it’s already 10 years old. Any cells that aren’t bad today will likely be very soon.
Telling people to pop open a Li-Ion battery is asking for a fire. This is why I wish Beehaw supported down votes. Dangerous advice like this is exactly what down voting should be for.
What a way to intentionally misunderstand their question.
Yeah I know the feeling. Making my night a little better though!
Asking the important questions over here
If you cave everytime someone gets offended, you won’t be able to write anything. Ignore people like that that are purposefully misconstruing your intentions just to make themselves feel better about their boring lives.
Jesus fucking Christ chill out. Shit like this will just turn people away. Get off your high horse and understand that nobody is making light of anyone’s situation by using that term. So annoying.
Cool. Thanks for subsidizing my free, ad-free experience you chump.
If you want to mildly shit your pants, Steamdeck is my recommendation.
If you want to fully shit your pants, VR all the way.
Absolutely for 3D printing. It’s both a creative and tech hobby. It allows you to create and make things using technical skills that really feels like sci-fi/magic.
I would say start with an FDM printer (filament, like and Ender 3-style printer). If you enjoy it, and you want to make more detailed, smaller models, go to resin. Resin requires a lot more time and investment in the post-processing phase, but you can make crazy accurate miniatures.
It’s also something that satiates that constant need to try something else. There’s always things to learn, both hardware and software.
Right? Fucking tankies crying tears into an ocean here.
