Crotaro

I've never heard of the term degrowth before, but the way @heeplr@feddit.de describes it, it sounds like a cool concept.

I'm quite excited to see what comes of this. With the amount of stuff to do in No Man's Sky, I'm interested what other systems, aside from procedural generation and base building, they will transfer over to this high fantasy genre. The dragonflight mechanic seems similar to how the starships steer, although more refined to a natural looking way of flying.

Thank you for pointing that out. Nuclear reactors today (and many even "back then") are very, very stable and have so many safeties in place, that it's hard to cause a second Chernobyl meltdown, if I'm not mistaken.

AURORA, although I guess she's gaining increased mainstream recognition now?

Since I'm very hurdy gurdy focused atm, Patty Gurdy and Michalina Malisz (as well as her band LYRRE)

Oh absolutely. I kind of like that Beehaw isn't moving at lightspeed. It has somewhat of a forum-y feel to it and less like social media.

Psygnosis simply for Drakan. I recently replayed it and it holds up pretty well, even if the melee combat as Rynn is a little clunky.

Another one, who is still around and very successful in their niche, is Egosoft. X4 at release was a little so-so, but mostly due to performance issues and me being spoiled from years and years worth of mods for the previous games (but also, without any of the really good DLCs, only three of the six or so factions are in the game).

Mostly same for me. The only thing I still use reddit for, are those weirdly specific Google searches when I need to troubleshoot a tech or game issue. Append "reddit" to almost any of your web searches and the results are usually much more helpful than what you get on official forums (especially the official Microsoft support page, fuck that :c) or the crap that Google throws on the first results page.

Indeed. It could be a huge win for Nebula, in fact. At least I hope if the users on YouTube lose that a different platform wins and it won't just be a net loss for users and YT-competitors.

That does sound quite fun, honestly.

I didn't know, until a year or so ago, that Echolalia was something atypical in the first place.

Hmm...Does deliberate grammatically messed up English count (native language is German)? To see off my spouse in the morning, we don't say "Viel Spaß bei der Arbeit und gute Fahrt" but instead "Safe drivings, good workings!" (or the other way around). Oh and our word that, depending on intonation, facial expression and such, has as many meanings and use-cases as "fuck" is "swa". It's a filler, an exclamation, a word to show affection or a word/sound we say when we mean "I'm fucking sad from that movie and am gonna cry".

This seems to be largely an American phenomenon, that people sue the maker of a product for themselves failing to use the product correctly, no? Or at least I can't remember a single instance outside America where either someone sued the producer for using a product incorrectly or the producer pre-emtpively puts warnings on for ridiculous stuff to not get sued if people try these things.

Either way, good to know that cotton swabs were primarily made indeed to clean ears. I don't use them for that, but it always weirded me out when they came in those pastelle color packages with openings like tissues, perfect for a bathroom, but someone said "Yo, don't use them for your ears! They were made for swabbing grease off motor chains."

How do I do this? When I open up the magnet link, it only seems to give me one checkbox for the entire 10 TB thing. Sure, I can check "download first and last parts before anything else" but it would still try to download all 10 TB, no?

Edit: Nevermind, I didn't grab one of the files that has aac in its name.

Even though I agree that the piracy-route is easier and more comfortable, it's good that account deletion isn't as straightforward as a single button on the account page, without further verification. I certainly wouldn't like to lose my Steam library just because my Steam account details were leaked once. A second and maybe even third separate step being necessary is smart for anything that involves a substantial amount of money.
