I’m terrified of driving the day they move the US from miles to kilometers. People go well over the speed limit as it is. I can only imagine how many people would read the kilometer per hour speed limit as miles.

That would be an interesting villain

I keep thinking Nestle should be a villain in the crossover too

With this and the KFC dating sim on steam, I am starting to think we will get a fast food multiverse…but who is the villain?

Wanted to shout out this game. Found it on the App Store and not only is it fun and free, but no ads and no in app purchases (at least not as of now).

The whole series is great

Weston’s app includes some fun interludes too

Love the lackadaisy comics.

Also check out the cartoon short on YouTube (looks like a full show is in progress)

See, I just think of the ‘Kernel Panic’ error and kind of want to see these guys freaking out

Fair enough. I use Facebook due to certain people only using it (and for the marketplace). I’m a millennial and wa off Facebook for awhile.

X (twitter has definitely seen better days

I want a game that is a standard sci fi/fantasy RPG, except the main characters each suffer from a mental health condition that affects their gameplay (and of course the story).

My brother (now deceased) had both schizophrenia and numerous personalities. He had visual and auditory hallucinations thanks to the schizophrenia. On top of that, in my last conversation with him, he mentioned that all his personalities ‘shared information’ except for one that was in denial. Because of that, when a different personality took over after that one, he would have no idea what happened during the time that denial personality was in control. Sadly, my brother passed after he had stopped taking medications for a week and decided to use computer duster (something he had finally got clean of) to sleep and never woke up.

Now, imagine that in a high sci fi or fantasy RPG. You might begin fighting and wasting energy on enemies who aren’t actually there, but you think they are. You can go into battle and no other party members will help because, as you find out after, those enemies weren’t really there. Maybe you become weak because of a would and have to get through a dangerous area to get to a hospital. There you find you never had an injury, it was a hallucination (based on a 911 call my brother made thinking he had slit his throat when he had not). Maybe you go to learn some key information from a character who then dies dies suddenly. However, you don’t remember any of it.

Most important though, in the end, you are still the hero and still save the day. The idea being that yes people with these mental health challenges struggle, but they aren’t monsters. My brother was one of the kindest people I know and loved to help people. A game like that, if done right, could help players understand what these conditions are actually like (not hollywoods bs) and show that they can still be heroes. I think that would be cool

Yep people are ridiculous

 

Utah might be getting a major league baseball team and I couldn't help but wonder about names. Seems like so many are overused.

Me personally, I like Rabbid Jackalopes (unless they were based in Ogden in which case tweaker seems appropriate), but I'm sure they wouldn't pick that. What about the rest of Lemmy? What name would get you to cheer?

Edit: revisiting this as I actually came up with a better name: The Gila Monsters

They live in southern Utah, provide a unique name, and would make a great mascot. They also haven’t been politicized yet

 

For me its the 'Knock Code' that LG had on their phones (I really wish LG still made at least the V series phones)

Basically there was a four-square area and you set up a sequence of where you would tap to unlock the phone. That set of squares was only shown when you set up the code

Then, to unlock your phone, you would tap those areas in the sequence you set up (even with the screen off).

Fingerprint readers are nice, but I really do miss the knock code

Edit: did find this article with a way to do the knock code, but if done wrong, could brick your phone I guess.

Plus, article is from 2014. When I looked at XDA's info on it (they also being the developers) it looks like development on it is over, but individual modules may or may not still be supported by their devs

 

Wanting to be more secure and switch most of my chats to a matrix messaging service, buy I have some older contacts I don't think I can get on board. I know SMSMatrix is a bridge, but looking for any alternatives, preferably a built in option for the app.

If it doesn't exist, good to know also.
