Based on the sentiment I see online, my hot take is that Deep Rock Galactic is way over-hyped and is actually pretty shallow. It's a fine turn your brain off game, but I don't think it's as great as people make it out to be.

absolutely wild, was going to (naively) give it a go, but I work on telemetry for a big platform and cannot in good faith use this product.

Yeah honestly I'm not surprised, they can probably use their piles of cash to wipe away their tears. I work for a very large company as an SDE and when asked about how I feel about the manager track, I am met with awkward silence when I say I absolutely do not want that path. My manager probably doesn't make a ton more than me, but they work at least 2x the hours with way more stress. Not worth it. These people chose these lives.

was fucking hot in western WA yesterday, my first year gardening and have had some plants bolt :(

edit: I shouldn't have used the term bolt cause even I didn't know what that meant before this season, it just means that a lot of my plants flowered due to stress from the heat, which often makes things like kale bitter, or spinach tough. In my case it was bok choy, and just now cilantro, but that was probably more from me planting late.

I wish my wife didn't have some gnarly arachnophobia. The "spiders are beneficial" argument doesn't work :(

That is honestly like 90% of the reason I have stuck around, the community here is reminiscent of early reddit (or rather when I joined circa like 2011). But, yeah I totally appreciate that people enjoy it and I'm happy they do, I just really don't agree with most their points.

I like to play it in bed before sleeping, or lay on the couch and play either on the deck itself, or docked on the TV. The main reason I wasn't using a lot of consoles was more just having to purchase games twice / lack of cross platform cloud saves. The deck made that way better.

I'm fixing it by going to therapy and am learning avenues to move forward happy. I would recommend you do the same even if you don't think you have something mentally wrong, your happiness is important and thoughts like these can spiral out of control without you realizing it.

yeah I agree, just my unga bunga brain presenting itself

I might be in the minority here (also maybe I don't want "DAE" questions coming either..), but it'd be nice if the political discussions stayed in their respective communities. It's important, but it was getting to the point where EVERY thread would deviate into childlike insults at the political level.

I agree with what you’re saying except I think the Barbie movie has provided a unique and well thought out message that manny have failed to convey and finally feel they’re being heard.

I'm excited to be here since it feels like the old reddit community, which I missed over time. I'm just kind of tired of what reddit become as a platform and as a community. It was so nice early on, but as it gained popularity just became more toxic in various ways.

this IS fine, love doggy

I very much want the ability to create more custom streams

fwiw I believe there is a proposal for this right now on github.

personally I'll probably miss flair, and easily knowing my "karma" count (maybe I'm missing that?). me like big numbers.

kind of hope the political discussions stay in their respective communities. I agreed with most or really almost all of reddit's hivemind, but was so tired of seeing some comparison to politics in every single subreddit, even some of my more niche ones.

yes, because I improperly judged spam. I thought it was icky, then I went to Hawaii.

Isn't this part of the plot of Snowpiercer? At least the movie.

Despite my opinion I will still constantly quote "I KNOW THE WAY."

IT'S TAIL TIME

yea thats a respectable reason, it's a rarity.

It really just opened my eyes to Spam Musubi, which I'm assuming as someone who likes spam is already aware of, but if not..

https://www.favfamilyrecipes.com/musubi/ heres a basic recipe.

Outside of this, it's just commonly used as a meat option in food, like in a dish that may have ham it'd have spam as an option.

getting overclock mods and trying new weapon builds

I'm not sure I got to this point, and tbh everytime I've played I've felt like I'm missing something, so my opinion might not be well grounded. But, I've given it quite a few tries and just never get to this point. I'll give it another go though :)

thanks brother, I don't really try to not like it, it's just not my cup of tea. I grew up playing L4D 1 and 2 a lot and I think thats all I'll ever really enjoy from that genre. There are other similar games I'm not a huge fan of either.

Yea my next promo is senior and honestly I'm probably just going to take that for the title and then fuck off. Based on my team's current seniors it's exactly how you describe it. Basically just manager light.

thats awesome that you were able to turn that around! I'm looking at doing invisalign here soon too.

FWIW I had the same problem (receding gums) and improving my flossing even a little has helped.

If I based my concerns off of what I worked on, I'd actually probably be cool with it. Things are generally taken very seriously and the general discourse around how things are handled (at least to my knowledge) are wildly exaggerated. However, knowing just how things work end to end and how Meta tends to handle things, I think accepting something like the terms they lay out will give them freedom to do whatever they want with whatever they want.

That might seem obvious to most folks but I guess it's more just be saying yeah they'll take as much as you can give them.

I feel you, I've been feeling similar lately too, I think it's something a lot of people go through so just know you aren't alone. I guess what I'm trying to say in my previous comment is that a common stigma is this:

It’s not really about being happy or sad

I get that you might not feel that way, but it kind of seems like you have some stuff weighing you down somewhere in there. Even if it isn't obvious I just think having a therapist to talk to would really help. IMO it's good even if someone doesn't think anything is wrong and is perfectly happy. It'd be good just to maintain that!

lol tbh one of the only part I did like was the map, because of what you're saying. It's procedurally generated, but does require coordination on abilities / movement.

tacos. or if more specific, cheese. it wouldn’t be long life.

ya no kidding, I like to think I'm generally pretty tolerant of the fireworks, but I just moved and the neighborhoods around me apparently really felt the need to "protest" the firework ban. At least three fires reported, awesome protest!
