What the hell kind of horrible website did I just click on. That may perhaps be the single worst format of any web page I have EVER visited in my entire life. Wow.

I keep hoping and wishing for a daily drivable linux phone that's compatible with all the us networks to come along. I'll keep hoping and wishing. Someday I hope we will get there!

Hmmmm. I tried Fulgrim (book 5 Horus heresy) and got prices WAYYYYYY higher than what I paid on eBay like two weeks ago. So………..

I'll echo how good V Rising is. I don't even like this entire genre (base building grindy survival), but I had a blast in this game. I eventually gave up when managing my castle became too much of an annoying chore (omg I have to tear everything down and rebuild it all AGAIN because now I don't have enough space in the required room to place this new crafting bench or whatever ... OMG PLEASE NO) but the world exploration and combat and bosses was always super fun. I also loved how they allowed the player to scale the difficulty however they wanted. I wound up turning my game into "baby" mode by cranking the boss difficulty down just because I didn't want to keep replaying the bosses in my limited time. Had a blast!

For me the appeal of drive through is 100% solely just that I get to listen to my own podcasts or music. I don’t carry headphones with me outside of the house so if I get to keep my podcasts going - that’s good enough reason for me.

I have loved split ergo boards since childhood. Several years ago I found the sp111 board and truly think this is my endgame. I am right handed, so a southpaw numpad just makes SO much sense to me. Plus I use it for gaming so it's like a built in gaming macropad.

I also have a kinesis advantage 2 with some insanely nice switches, but never use it just because of the learning curve.

one of the biggest roads in my town has these purple lights at night, and it's very off-putting honestly. Makes it kind of hard to see things properly. I specifically avoid this road at night now because of it.

Right now I’m playing Sail Forth and it hits that stress reducer for me. It does have combat but totally optional and the exploration and fishing and discovery is so relaxing.

Absolutely love A Short Hike. Perfect to relax in bed or on the couch on the Deck and just relax. I have fallen asleep playing it multiple times. Just wandering and soaring and climbing.

I live in a state where they have banned all porn sites entirely. If I try to go to pornhub there's a statement from the company saying I can't access it at all. Period. It's beyond absurd into the realm of comedy levels of incompetence from the gov.

Wait what, you don't know that you should purchase the brand new Xbox Series XA, and not the Xbox One 720 S ...?

But seriously, I do think it's still one of the most hilariously stupid product names EVER in the history of products, to name the third thing in a series "xbox one". They'll have that idiocy forever bahahahahahah!!!!

“You can download this Doom 3 Mod from this link.”

It’s even worse when they use language like this. So this is a mod for the 2004 game or what?

This is true for me. I have a personal desktop, but for mobility (laptop) my work issued MacBook M1 Pro is the only thing I have. There's no reason at all to purchase a personal laptop since my company is fully remote and they purchased the laptop from apple and had it directly sent to me, and have never required me to install any kind of monitoring software or control software on it at all.

Completely agree. I am listening to some chill music and wanting to catch up on some hardware reviews, so I want to read a nice article. If I accidentally click on something that takes me to a god awful yt video, it completely disrupts my focus and irritates the hell out me. I instantly close the tab and never go back to whatever source pointed me there. I absolutely loathe yt video content of stuff that should obviously be text but isn't. Gaming content has gone this way a lot sadly.

For a long while, google drive on the web would simply refuse to do anything unless you had 3rd party cookies enabled. I'm sure on purpose.
