Americans getting credit cards so young is so foreign to me. Here you only get a credit card either for business reasons or if you travel internationally where the European standards for debit cards don't apply

I don't know what anime this is but I know number theory

Yeah it is, this list is just a list of books banned in the US, with banned meaning banned from education or libraries. Wikipedia article here

This fact alone makes me conflicted about this. I don't want my kids to walk around having phones from an early age, but I know first hand that being excluded as a kid is not a enjoyable experience. And kids are vicious creatures to each other too.

SCP-7311 🥺

Why do they look so sad :(

I will turn on subtitles for dubbed media too

Atomic Shrimp makes variety content about things like foraging, scambaiting, Amazon scams and grocery shopping

Sarah Z makes some really well researched video essays about niche entertainment stuff

Brady Brandwood makes videos about his pet lobster, Leon the Lobster, which he got from the grocery store

Where I'm from almost no one under 25 gets a credit card, because most non-online/prepaid/crypto credit cards have an age or income limit.

Everyone over the age of 12 has a debit card here. I think it promotes healthy spending knowing you have a set limit and immediately see the amount of money change. Overdrafts are also not enabled by default and require an extra package.

Venmo/Cashapp etc are also uncommon here.

This kind of stuff makes me sad, in a way. Knowing there are people with psychological degrees whose job it is to ""indoctrinate"" people with marketing and advertisements to minmax profits.

Pepsi still better than coke though.

Baldur's Gate 3.

Just picked it up, never played other cRPGs or D&D but I'm really enjoying it! Not doing a lot of quests yet but just exploring. Combat is quite difficult to understand sometimes because it has so many rules I'm not used too, but I'd like to think I'm learning slowly.

The rest and spell slot mechanic is also quite interesting, as it forces me to not pick too many fights before taking a long rest. This is totally new to me 😅

For anyone interesting I'm playing as a human conjuration wizard and my party is Astarion (arcane trickster), Shadowheart and Lae'zel (battle master).

Personally I hated team sports and things like going to the gym, but bouldering is really fun for me. It doesn't feel like it's forced or repetitive and you can choose what you want to do and it feels more live solving puzzles than sport. Am only a 5A+ so far but having fun.

What also helps is the atmosphere is very chill in the boulder gyms near me.

Duisburg, Germany!

Slay the Princess. Just discovered it, 100% it already. I love it so much. The soundtrack, the art, the plot, the voice acting, it's just so awesome. I don't normally like horror VNs (looking at you, ddlc!) but this one is less shock horror and more actual depth to it. You can feel the love put into the game. Sorry if this sounds too much like an ad, just hyperfixating a little :)

Oh and I think the snipers in the current Fortnite season are wayyy to annoying.

As an European credit scores sound so weird to me 😮

(YOU WANTED TO!)

• Started using Mastodon and Lemmy
  • Deleted Reddit account
• Changed a lot of my apps to FOSS alternatives using NeoStore
• Got a text-based launcher (Lunar Launcher)
• Started contributing to community projects
• Set up a JellyFin server

Probably some more but I forgot. My case fans are really loud though when I keep my pc on at night to keep running the JF server for my users. Perhaps I should have bought a P600S case with the dampening foam. Looking into buying a Pi 4 this year to run services on instead of my main rig.

Really am enjoying using FOSS software, even though it can be a little limiting in some ways. AAAAXY is a really fun game btw!

I may just have not the most critical taste but I recently picked up Cyberpunk (v1.6, not the latest update) and I loved it, my first AAA game, played it for 170 hours within a few weeks. The story and worldbuilding is amazing imo.

You're right about people not giving some games a chance. Pretty sure that Cyberpunk had quite a hate hype trend at the start.

caffeine makes me sleepy

got any online course recommendations? my college recommended missing semester for the basics of the basics, but i know there are so many more and other vim workflows (easy motions etc)

although i should first start getting into touch typing

Would the hypothetical nuclear fusion power plant require less water? And do you think that when we finally find out how to do it, a fusion based design will become widespread?

We already have trains, I want more electric/hydro powered bus coverage and more bike storage lockers 🥺

That I understand, but adding your kids on your credit card so their score goes up and things like having debt just to pay it back is weird to me

Just downloaded it, it's really clean!

Ah, that you for your detailed response

Sklearn has those built in graphs and chart displays

It does kinda suck being defederated from big instances like lemmy.ml because there are big communities there, but at the other end it's nice to have alternatives on different instances. For example, I can't view !programmerhumor@lemmy.ml but I can access !programmer_humor@programming.dev.

Still Baldur's Gate 3. I don't know if I commented last week but I finished my first play through (chaotic neutral). Was really fun and already started 2 other runs 👀, one githyanki run with custom Tav, Lae'zel and the gith hireling and a lawful good run with my half-orc monk oc.

my castle town is one of the finest pieces of music ive ever heard ❣️

I'm on android so I used ReVanced, though I recently deleted the YouTube app and installed LibreTube which has no YouTube algorithm and no shorts tab. (I use the IzzyOnDroid repo with F-Droid)

Asexuality doesn't mean sex repulsed, some asexuals still like having sex (but just have no attraction to people that way)

Best:

• Cyberpunk 2077 (1.6) My first open world AAA game, I really enjoyed it and even though I was a total noob the gunplay and missions were very doable. The lore in everything made the immersion so deep too. Great soundtrack too!

• Slay The Princess I really liked the writing and art. It really feels like a full experience, the voice acting is on point too (I loved The Voice Of The Smitten!!)

• Deltarune (chapter 2) I loved Chapter 1 and Undertale, and this new chapter did not disappoint either. Didn't had the time to play it yet until now

Worst:

• Warzone 2.0 Made me realise those more realistic shooters weren't for me at all. Had only played more cartoonish shooters before (Fortnite, Valorant etc)

• Hitman 3 Hitman is on its own really fun, but I just couldn't seem to find the solutions. I got stuck at the Bangkok mission.

Same here, no snow, just a lot of water everywhere. I hope there will be another winter comeback somewhere before April, I want to go ice skating outside :(

I don't think so, but I'm not sure. Was only there for one night and arrived late

I still get sucked into Reddit stories from time to time, they're so bad but so entertaining >:(

Hitman: World of Assassination. Currently at the Hokkaido mission, it can be quite challenging! Had a hard time beating the Colorado mission on the easiest difficulty

9/20 damnit, thought I'd be better at this

We have both happen, sometimes combined or scan with phone. I've seen some of the American systems, with sensors and weights and speakers (with some voice lines), those are creepy to me.
