Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions?
  • It can be played pretty casually. A run usually takes around an hour but you don’t have to play it in one go. And on the base difficulty it’s pretty approachable. You definitely don’t have to play 500 hours to enjoy it. But you can if you want to :)

  • Tea Time
  • This standard is not meant to define the proper method for brewing tea intended for general consumption, but rather to document a tea brewing procedure where meaningful sensory comparisons can be made.

  • Tea Time
  • "Preparation purist" is wrong. You don't boil the tea, you steep it in hot water. For some teas, like black tea, you usually boil the water before pouring it over the tea, but other types of tea use water that isn't as hot (e.g. around 70-80°C for green tea).

    Also, if you actually want to be an ingredient purist, tea must be made from the leaves of Camellia sinensis (or a closely related species).

  • Spaghetti-rule-cation
  • I intentionally cook an outrageous amount of spaghetti to save some for later. We are not the same.

    If you want to cook exactly the right amount and don't have a spaghetti measurer just weigh them.

  • Slay the Spire 2 - Official Animated Reveal Trailer
  • Very excited about this! The new character looks really cool too!

    The Steam page also has some gameplay screenshots. It looks surprisingly similar to the first game, but as long as there’s enough new stuff I don’t mind.

  • Is TypeScript a fad or is my manager delusional?
  • I haven’t used Python since around the time when type hints first became a thing so I might be completely wrong here, but isn’t this because Python just generally ignores type hints? If you ran a static type checker like mypy over this it would complain right?

    Also, if you actually did anything with the list that you couldn’t do with a bool (e.g. len(value)), it would throw an error too because Python is actually pretty strict about types, just only at runtime. That’s why it’s usually considered to be strongly typed, although people don’t seem to agree what exactly that’s supposed to mean.

  • Any tips for reducing my car dependency beyond walking and cycling?
  • Don’t be afraid to use a car if you have to. Reducing car dependency is great, but if you live in a place without proper infrastructure it can be almost impossible to completely ditch your car. In that case I’d suggest becoming active in local politics to try to improve the situation.

  • What's the end state of Universes Beyond?
  • What are players who don’t like UB supposed to do when there are no Magic versions of those cards?

    If you're just playing with your friends you can just decide to not use them or make custom proxy versions for the cards you really want to play with. Or you can just play limited, either with a set that doesn't have any UB cards or with your own cube.

    Otherwise I guess you can either learn to live with them or just stop playing. For me it's mostly the latter. Universes Beyond, along with absolutely insane power creep especially in Modern and an overwhelming flood of increasingly expensive products have really taken the fun out of the game for me.

  • Will Microsoft drop the TPM requirement for Win 11 once Win 12 rolls around?
  • I've found some and it sucks if the one game that doesn't work well is one you play a lot. For me it's Trackmania. It works some of the time but often breaks. It seems like the issue isn't with the game itself but with Ubisoft Connect, which is pretty shit even on Windows. Very annoying.
