Thank you for the thorough explanation. The whole residuals issue sounds very complicated, and it's probably on purpose if it's up to the streaming services to manage this themselves.
I'm really resisting the urge to post a question on !asklemmy@lemmy.ml on your behalf :) edit
I'm sorry for writing this, reading back I feel it's in bad taste. Sorry, again.
Reading some of the replies here makes me wish we didn't use flex work spaces. I have to keep my personal belongings in a locker whenever I go home. I'd love to have a desk I can decorate :)
Anyway, I keep Lapsang Souchong tea in my locker and like to brew a strong mug before I start my day. Then I just sit on the couch in the lounge area and stare outside for a while and enjoy my tea. The tea stinks of smoke, so early morning is the only time of the day I can enjoy it without people complaining.
Last week I mentioned I was busy with some identity issues... Well.. turns out I'm a girl. Or.. at least part of me is. I have no idea anymore and I'm currently too burned out to explore this any further.
I suppose it's not really a big surprise, considering my online activity here on Lemmy. But still, accepting a truth like this is still.. Let's just say I'm seeing a lot of my 40+ years alive through a new lens and a lot of things fall in place and with it some sad realizations of how I wish I knew these things then.
Oh and you guys are the first to know, so.. yay? :)
Sorry if I'm unloading like this, it's going to be the only coming out I will be doing for a long while. I just felt the urge to say/write it out loud once.
"Must not look suspicious, don't do anything suspicious, you're not suspicious."
Proceed to give the fakest and most strained smile in history to airport security and get pulled aside..... again.
Sounds great!
Does it have to be a physical thing, or can it be digital too?
I want to get into voxel 3d modelling and a monthly goal is just what I need to keep myself motivated. Though.. I guess I could send it to the 3d printer if I manage to get it done in time.
Thanks for your kind words, and best of luck to you in your journey. I can definitely relate to feeling a little lost in the whole process. It's gender related but more contained and not as massive as what you're dealing with.
Autumn is my favorite time of year, hope you'll enjoy the season :)
Oh my.. Lynx really brings me back. I used to slack off at work by having an ssh connection to my home computer and browsing through Lynx (or was it Links?)
Never really got into Linux beyond basic use, but I was always proud at myself for managing to get this working :)
My week has been going ok, though I’ve been dealing with some identity issues. Nothing I really want to go in to except that I’m reevaluating who I think I am and want to be.
On a lighter note, summer is finally over and the cooler weather has been wonderful. It’s so nice to dress a bit warmer and not having to worry about getting sun burned.
Oh, and I’ve started doing pilates again and my muscles are aching. Hope I’ll stick with it this time :)
Not exactly soup, but congee (rice porridge) is great for filling your belly and it's very easy to make.
I guess you could make it watery enough to pour it out of a thermos if necessary.
Sorry to hear about your library, it's awful when a place that's supposed to have a positive influence on people gets treated like that.
At least the book drive will make up for things, a little bit.. It's great that you manage to put a positive spin on things.
I hope the drive will be a success, best of luck!
Oh no..
Is this a situation where people with the loudest voices get their way, or is there some board pushing their views on the population?
What kind of recourse do you have in such situations?
Asking out of concern and interest, feel free to leave it at this if you don’t want to go into it.
Yesterday was my birthday!
It was a nice and easy going day spend with my family. Topped it off with going out for a nice dinner.
I enjoyed it, nothing fancy but just the way I like it :)
Oh, I agree on all those points. The rules are definitely easier to understand, especially compared to Pathfinder. And I do like that you are more free in how to resolve a conflict.
The thing I meant was that for me, personally, interacting with the world is daunting. Having a 3rd person view of a fully 3d world filled with tons of items to interact with and with different elevations makes it hard for me to make a mental map of the game world. It's not such a big deal for Deus Ex (where it's in 1st person and you can get really up close to things) or with Zelda (where the amount of stuff to interact with is a lot more sparse). In BG3 I just constantly feel like I'm lost and missing out on things that might have been hidden from view because I looked at it from the wrong angle.
It's just me. I miss the overview of the flatter maps in those other games. It allows me to focus more on the story and the exploration funny enough.
Again, I agree with everything else. I still love the game and the design, I just realize what I'm missing from my other favorite games.
Like many, I’ve been playing a lot of Baldur’s Gate 3. I love the game, but part of me is already longingly looking at the Pillar of Eternity or Pathfinder games for a bit less complicated level design.
The 3d worlds are nice, but I always have the feeling like I’m a little lost.
