• No shitty P2W mechanic bullshit.
• Full game on release.
• no always online requirement.
• not completely unplayable at launch tripple A title.
• content amount is worth its purchase value.
• community mod support, which drives improvements and long term playability.
• Development transparency on what the game is and where its headed.

Does it have bugs, of course, nothings perfect.

Can’t say too many games on the scale of BG3 came out this year that can check as many boxes. It takes GotY for me as well personally.

Its on the opposite side of the room, roughly 10-12feet away. Good suggestion however!

Yep, one in the utility room by the furnace, one in the upstairs front door closet beside the kitchen, and one in the garage. Haven’t had to use them for myself personally… but the neighbours came slamming on the door a few times needing one.

IMO every residence should have one handy. Never know what could happen or who might need one. I really should get one thats rated for electrical fires however.

Unfortunately a lot of consumers don’t understand this. Even if they use “pro” apps daily. These same people will fall for Apples marketing tricks here regardless.

Not the dude that you replied to, but heres my view.

There’s alot of linux based memes present on lemmy, and lots of “Linux btw” posters. It’s pretty disproportionate compared to other online locations of discussion. Im guessing the fediverse in general draws more of this crowd due to the nuances of it and similarly to how linux operates openly, etc, etc.

As a sysadmin whos focus is on all types of systems, it definitely doesn’t bother or stick out much for me personally either, but there’s for sure a higher content % about linux compared to other places. Which might get anoying to some people.

1: there is, but at this point its pretty niche and scattered. Lots of its hush-hush due to like you said potential security/insurance concerns. Mostly used for cracking and getting system/diagnostics readouts and error codes, Fob cloning, etc. without forking out cash to do so through the so called “proper channels”.

2: not that I’ve seen, and from they software they do use it seems mainly in house additions.

Though im not super into the scene, and i see it growing rapidly over the next few years seeing manufacturers keep doing some scummy shit to lock down their products.

Edit: fat fingered post before i finished typing it out oops.

Id say they are most likely in good health. But anything could happen. Always reccomend having a backup option in place.

Agreed, i mainly mention Crystaldisk because its a quick free tool. Definitely reccomend using multiple avenues of info gathering to determine hardware health.

You can track the health status of most smart enabled ssds. Can use a tool like crystal disk info

Personally i have 2 7 year old ssds going strong without issue. Mainly used for storage and games, so the r/w rates been pretty lower on them.

Ssds do have a total maximum write cycles to nand. Really depends on the use cases over the 5 years.

1. They whom smeltith, Dealtith.

Twice a day normally. 1 morning, 1 after work if im dirty, sweaty or stinky.

Sweet, thanks chief.

More content around individual games so there feels like more of a community here. Some times its like talking into the void.

Less political respost spam from multiple bots to multiple communities at the same time. Just gets anoying to filter out after a while.

No hate on that dude or anything, but that just fundamentally doesn’t add up on a physics and chemistry level.

Few scenarios where someone might feel that way: They maybe using a different amount of product or a different product entirely in each delivery method.

They maybe incorrectly using the dry herb vaporizer.

They maybe just prefer the dirtier high, due to the flash combustion of the material releasing CO and PAH. It may also destroy some terpens and canabinoids in the combustion process.

Agreed, im just not sure what OP referes to as a “bong like hit”. Potv and Arizer xq(1 and 2) can produce some nice clouds, same with my mighty through a bong. But they are still lacking in fast vapour production from ball and injector style vapes. But thats just my experience with the vapes i own.

Ok, well combustion and vaporisation are 2 very different things.

If you want a big cloud hit off a vaporizer, you look at vapes like the cloud evo, volcano, the tiny might 2, ball vapes, log vapes. You can either attach or not attach any of these to a bong.

Ball vapes are top of the line for fast extraction of vapour, but you can get large cloud hits off the other style of vapes i mentioned.

But i wouldn’t expect to get massive clouds off sipper vapes like a mighty, crafty, mflb, vmax, potv one, etc.

You’ll likely get higher off a dry herb vape, because you can control the temperature while extracting the active compounds, instead of just buring them up into carbon like with combustion.

Do you mean combustion vs. vaporisation? Because you can run a dry herb vape through a bong no problem.

I enjoy super mario world. Games primo mario action. Super mario RPG is great as well.

OOT and SM64 are great play throughs, and if you’re interested in learning some speed run tech it can expand the fun.

PS2, you gotta play some GTA vice city and San Andreas. Shadow of the colossus is great.

When i started (20 years ago), my parents just rented a set for the first little while to see of i would stick to it, i reccomend going this route.

I also reccomend a full size kit, be it electric or acoustic vs. Just getting a simple drum pad. The feeling of a full sized kit is vastly different in my opinion.

Electric: Can be loud or can be silent to the environment around you. Light weight. Customizable digital options for sound. Can usally find a kit the is of defent quality for a decent price.

Acoustic: no volume nob and no headphone output, so consider your playing environment. Feels different than electric, hitting skins and bare metal just feels better to me in general. Looks sexy AF. Decent kits are not cheap, and cheap bad kits sound like cheap bad kits.

Hi-hat, kick drum, snare, crash and/or ride cymbal, floor tom and 1 or 2x tom-toms would be my reccomendation. Electric you will have a wider selection of sounds, seeing you can usually program them for different usage.

Edit: just wanted to add, a drum pad is still a starting point, so if thats your best option go for it! Hell, even some different sized plastic buckets is a start worth pursuing.
