SMTV nailed the general gameplay for me better than any other SMT or Persona game, so I'm interested in better performance on PC and what looks like a semi-functional story. Despite all its flaws I've been wanting to play through again, this would make that feel less wasteful.

... But I do wish I didn't need to rebuy the whole game.

Every time I spend four hours figuring out how to get one tiny little thing working better in vim I find another even smaller issue that I desperately need to dig in to, and thus my actual personal projects never get worked on. I should just give up and call "tweaking my vimrc" a hobby.

I finished playing through with a friend a few weeks ago. Act 3 wasn't notably more buggy than the rest of the game for us, and most bugs we came across were fixed by a quick restart anyways.

Great game, highly recommend even if it's probably overhyped to some extent. We clocked over 100 hours in our playthrough and still want to keep playing.

Ruff is super nice, the speed increase means that I no need to wait a second after saving a file to make sure my linter or formatter don't confuse me.

Python packaging is kind of a mess where each tool that solves a problem also feels like it bogs down the process. It doesn't help that I need multiple tools to manage both my python and package versions. It sounds like uv isn't far enough along for me to bother with yet, but it also has a goal and team behind it that make me optimistic that this isn't just another packager to throw on the pile.

I can see normie memes sprinkled into this community doing well. Satire does well and people are often not super serious in the comments.

This... is not a normie meme. Weirdly well animated, though.

Hope you enjoy! It's a very satisfying way to make coffee, even on those days where something doesn't taste quite right.

They fully replaced all the balloons after prototype? This seems far too reasonable to be reality.

Thanks!

I'd say that most modern poetry (at least as far as I've read) is basically fine for newbies. Like, if you enjoy or dislike something hard on vague vibes without any deep analysis of understanding there's nothing wrong with that. It's super subjective anyways, even more than normal taste in books.

This one sort of has this lonely, surreal streak to it. Melancholic, almost nostalgic at times. If that sounds interesting to you then check it out and see how it matches your taste!

This is true every year, but this year is especially bad because it's been warm and dry for most of the winter. There's usually a few holdovers, not dozens, and especially not so many that actually need some type of response.

Man, OSRS dodging most of the scummy monetization has been fantastic and has contributed greatly to it being relatively lively for so long. I can't imagine a new owner won't want to extract every possible drop of value from it, especially an investment firm.

Is it? I haven't seen any problems since I put together my 7800XT build in November.

Well, other than having a cable jammed against the top of my case too tight so if my cat jumps on it the graphics card loses power and the driver crashes... but I assume that's not what we're talking about.

I think this article starts with an interesting premise (basically: RSS works to support podcast content creators, how can we make it work for written content creators?) and... misses the point.

Podcasts can make a lot of money off of sponsors and advertising that listeners are less likely to skip over. Maybe you're busy doing something else when the ad comes on, maybe you don't clue in that it's an ad right away, maybe you just don't know how long it is so as you skip around you hear enough anyways. Advertising works in an audio format.

Text content can't advertise as effectively. Your eyes can just skip over to the next part you care about. Adblockers work pretty well. A reader is way less likely to engage with advertisement, so it's going to pay less, so written content creators are going to make less. Usually to the point that they can't support themselves with it.

None of the author's points really address that. The problem isn't with the RSS standard, it's with the format and how it can make money.

Dr. Marlaina Smith, I didn't see no parental consent to change her name.

Just started A Film in Which I Play Everyone by Mary Jo Bang this morning. It's a short poetry book, pretty good so far and I'll probably blast through it today.

After that... I left On Liberty and Fellowship of the Ring unfinished at the end of last year and I should really finish those up. Both really good, both just got left at the bedside for a while for no reason, as is tradition.

Mizuki from One Punch Man.

I forgot her name, but I knew "one punch man thigh crush" would be a good search to find out.

Since release I've been playing BG3 every week with a friend and we finally beat the game on Saturday. Great game, but man we've been playing it for a long time.

Picked up Viewfinder yesterday. Fun little indie puzzler. Very cool concept, don't know how much I care about the plot or anything but it's got some of the same trippy fun as Superliminal.

Oh, and I played a couple hours of Against the Storm and have been hesitant to pick it up again because I'm pretty sure it's going to be problematic for my already busy schedule.

My resting HR is... 55 bpm, apparently. Honestly don't know what that means.

During runs I use HR as a guide for whether my pace is right for the type of run I'm doing. For an easy run I usually want it under 150 bpm, for a harder run I let it go up to 170ish, although I usually can't keep that up for more than a few kilometers. It's easier to look at the number on my wrist than to judge the subtleties of whether I'm going to feel gassed in 20 minutes.

If I break 180 I'm definitely going too fast, and the odd time I approach 190 I feel like I'm about to blackout so I avoid that. Those ones are more obvious and I don't really need to look at my heart rate for them, though.

If voting NDP had any more effect than pissing in the wind in my area I would. Unfortunately, they rarely get a significant percentage of the vote and when they do we go conservative. So it's either hold my nose and vote lib or help a conservative who doesn't even live in the city get in.

If polling changes to show the NDP beating the libs here I'm 100% changing my vote. Until then, the system sucks so sometimes voting sucks.

ABC. Anything but conservative. FPTP is winner takes all, so vote for Liberal or NDP depending on who's more likely to get in in your area. And pray to whatever force may be that someone puts in a sensible voting system at some point.

For my V60 pourovers I mostly set my Encore to 16, sometimes varying by +/- 2 for different beans at different ages.

I think this is neat idea, but some days I'll just vary it based on what I'm feeling, nevermind any fixed variable, so I personally just like knowing the starting point to play with for different grinders/brew methods.
