The worst part of using Signal is to try and convince all your friends/family to use Signal. Otherwise it’s a pretty great messaging app. You can’t edit messages once they’re sent, but other than that it’s pretty great.

I know this may be surprising, but sometimes I just read the title and look at the comments.

I’m not sure why there is an issue here? My son has a gluten allergy and breaks out when he plays with play dough that isn’t gluten free.

Niche product, sure. But definitely a market.

That’s Sir tosser to you!

Absolutely has to be intentional. That’s hilarious.

From the article:

As part of its recently publicised cutbacks, BioWare has "let go of" Lukas Kristjanson, the lead writer behind Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, and the writer of the first three Dragon Age games, Mary Kirby.

Same concept. Kinetic sand not having gluten in it is initially why we swapped to it.

Truthfully having a big Gluten Free label on it just makes it easier for parents to know kids with gluten allergies can play with it.

But it wasn’t something that was obvious to us without researching it specifically.

I mean it’s like buying a hairless cat if you’re allergic to them. Like I still want to play with a cat, I just need one that doesn’t cause issues for me due to dander.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think I licked a toilet bowl? I pretty much stopped playing truth or dare when I was like 12 though.

I miss distracting coworkers with conversations instead of working! /s

I’ll say I really only see downvoted for hugely unpopular or untrue opinions relating to the API stuff that happened over at reddit. Other than that everything mostly seems positive. I have stayed off political communities for the most part so far though.

Man as someone with a kid who is both allergic to dairy and gluten this just makes me sad.

My kid has real dietary needs, and I try not to burden whoever is handing out free candy for n Halloween with this.

My wife and I have taught my kid to be thankful to everyone, even if they can’t eat that particular candy when we do an allergen check later that night.

Don’t have kids haha.

In no particular order:

I realize I included a lot of games that were sequels or part of a series, but these are my favorite of the series in general.

Honorable Mentions:

• Pokémon Emerald
• Mariokart 8
• Super Mario Sunshine
• Mario Galaxy
• Sonic Adventure 2
• Splintercell
• Final Fantasy 7
• Halo ODST
• Halo 2

The only one that I know that really gets compared to BoTW is Genshin Impact.

Which, it kind of is in terms of exploration. They even added Korok seeds in their 3.0 update.

The big bad enemies are also ancient robots that can be terrifying when you’re low level too.

This game came out the tail end of 2020. It also has a very similar color palette to BotW in some areas. Especially the main “Castle Town” zone.

Emulator + GBA games

I’ve never been the biggest Dragon Age fan, but this is a post BG3 world now.

I wonder if we will actually get some information about the next Mass Effect on N7 day this year.

I’m pretty mad about the iOS “upgrade” too.

Did they say free DLC? That’s surprising

I’ve done Uber eats in the past, and you don’t see the notes until after you pick up. Things may have changed since 2020/2021, but all I recall seeing is

1. distance to restaurant and distance to drop off
2. total profit (including current tip)

So I wouldn’t see the cash tip note until after I accepted the delivery.

I was under the impression that the TT creator fund was very minimal anyway. Or at least it was gutted recently and used to be somewhat okay.

Assassin’s Creed and the Open World Gameplay design. It definitely existed before then, but after AC came out, it felt like every RPG switched to the open world map.

I’ll go with Mass Effect, the music in the first 3 games is incredible. Especially in the first game I think. This particular piece is called Vigil.

Here’s the not hour long version haha.

I was on reddit 10 years ago. Different vibes than old reddit for sure. Still way less users on Lemmy.

You’re shitposting right? I mean this is what literally every addict I’ve ever met says about anything. Drugs, Beer, Cigs, Gambling, Porn, etc. they all say this exact phrase before admitting they have a problem later down the road.

Hey! I’m a nerdy, windows hating, early tech adopter who is strongly considering switching his personal PC to Linux but has very limited time in which to do so.

They already have.

I have used both. Even under ideal conditions the cameras only is noticeably worse.

I recall parking in a parking lot and the camera systems showed that I was hitting a car while I was about a foot away from it. Lidar did not have any issues like that. And it was a perfectly sunny day.

Recently went to Paris, and most toilets were like this. It was fantastic.

Yeah absolutely clicked on this to spout my spiel about Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It’s my favorite anime ever.

Neon Genesis Evangelion is up there too, but I like TTGL more.

This looks really cost affordable and efficient, but I’m not sure my wife will go for the DIY aesthetic.

I just read the 4 Stormlight Archives books this past year (in addition to the novellas) but I’m already itching to reread them.

Is it something specific about a Kobo e-reader that is amazing or would any e-reader have turned you into an avid bookworm you think?

Eragon was my first foray into proper swords and sorcery fantasy after Harry Potter.

Are the books really that bad in your opinion? By no means do they reinvent the wheel, but I enjoyed the magic system and enjoyed the aspect of Dragon + Rider and that relationship we see between the two.

I haven’t read much other Fantasy besides LotR and Stormlight Archive, but I enjoy the Inheritance Cycle.

Moonlight Glaive Paladin Build BG3

Did you ever watch the Spiderverse movies? I feel like you’d appreciate Peter B Parker a lot.

Personally I don’t really hate any superheroes. I never fell in love with Wolverine like most people did though. My first experiences with X Men were the first two live action movies, however.

I have been using old.reddit to get around these since the API stuff started

Eh I’ll consider it, but I like my hair for now. If it gets to a point where I look dumb I’ll shave. But I also have a humungous head. Like literally 99th percentile lol

Plus you can always come back to it in a few years and it’s nostalgic.

I played the shit out of Anna Molly by Incubus and whenever I listen to it I’m now reminded of the season of life I was living when I over listened to it hah.
