About tree fiddy.

Side question: how much do kids get for teeth these days? Has inflation hit the tooth fairy game yet?

Check out a newsletter called "Fix the News". It's a weekly-ish roundup of positive world news, and no it isn't things like kittens being saved from trees. It's major stuff.

I use my own curated feed most of the time. Not saying there aren't other things, but the all feed is easily 75% doom scroll usually.

I find callouts like this ironic considering the all feed for Lemmy is exactly the same thing minus the ads.

Apple is like a predatory landlord and hoa all rolled into one pile of fuck you towards it's developers. A reckoning cannot come soon enough for them.

Got it. I'm completely ignorant about that so sorry if I offended you.

It's actually been growing lately as far as I know, and it was already good.

Do people actually find this character appealing? I don't like monkeys very much, and I find this main character an immense turn off. Just curious if it's a me thing or not.

I've only ever played 3 and I really liked it when I did. Sad that one doesn't get talked about much cause the art style is my favorite of the whole series I think.

It definitely had its fair share of batshit insane puzzles, but overall it's a great game.

I had no idea you could look at your own library on that site. I may have to try this.

Sagrada familia in Barcelona. Genuinely jaw dropping and nothing else has topped it in my travels.

 

I use Gboard.

The main things I like about it are:

  • Very customizable (I like having number row always visible, and having long press for symbols on each letter).
  • Has gif support built in.

My biggest pain point is:

  • It auto corrects words that are spelled correctly to other words. I type "our" and it changes to "out", I recently typed "purpose" and it changed it to "purple". Autocorrect is awesome and necessary, but I hate that it corrects words to other words and not just typos. I wish I could find a keyboard that has the things I like without this annoyance.

Am I looking for a unicorn? Let me know! 😄

 

I made a comment to this effect the other day. Scrolling through this community, out of about the 10 most recent posts, I see one that is borderline oniony and the rest are just straight up news, mostly US politics-related.

Is this OK? Is this what this community is for? I ask because I want to see can't-believe-it's-real headlines, but if this is going to be another doom scroll bad news sub I'm going to leave and look elsewhere. Just curious to hear people's feelings on this before I do.

 

What are some of your favorite content creators that highlight small indie games? Can be big or small, I'm just looking to find some lesser known games for a change.

Edit: I'm checking all of these out, thanks everyone!

 

Has something new come along? It's been so long since I've needed to do this that I assume CCleaner has enshittified by now.

 

I haven't been following the general reactions to the new patch, but fair warning going into this that I personally was pretty disappointed in it from a story standpoint.

I was very pleased with Soto overall, and I think they seriously improved on many of the issues I've had with the writing over the years, but I can't help but feel that somehow it has regressed in the newest patch.

The crux of my issue is that I want to distrust peitha and keep her at arms length, but it really feels like the story is making it crystal clear that I'm not allowed to feel that way. The speed at which not just my character, but even the astral ward, an organization dedicated to stopping her kind for thousands of years, is happy to not only help her, but to frequently espouse how much they trust her completely. I don't think I've ever felt less connected to my character.

I was hoping for the story to keep her in a suspicious and interesting place, where we're helping her for now but no one is sure what to think yet. Instead we're back to the often hamfisted story telling of the end of dragons era, where it feels like every character is to be taken at complete face value.

To be honest I hope she does betray us, because that would at least be an interesting direction, and something to shake my character's naive level of confidence. Though if they do go that way at this point they laid it on pretty thick with the implicit trust angle.

I'm curious if anyone else feels the same, or differently. Would love to hear other's takes on it.

 

I've been trying to get the app setup today, and I'm struggling to find communities through search. It seems like the search is only checking communities on my instance, not everywhere? Not sure if I'm missing something but I can't find a way to search the broader fediverse.
