Lol someone saw my second edit from the other day

MH4U on the 3ds was my first introduction and I actually kinda miss being able to quickly tap the items that were up on the touch screen to use them. World on PS and Rise on the switch scratch the itch but I was visibly upset that tracking didn’t make it into Rise; it was just a great mechanic and it felt extra satisfying to build out the monster knowledge, and it added some wonderful depth to the gameplay.

I’m not really all that crazy about the fort defense mechanic in Rise, I’d genuinely skip it if I could.

As much as I enjoy the series and still play it, there’s a certain amount of ennui that I’m experiencing when it comes to hunting Jaggis and the rest of the same monsters every time. New mechanics help to make up for it by having the hunt be slightly different, but wow what I wouldn’t give for a totally new experience playing Monster Hunter.

That last one, my gosh. Let me tell you about the first time I ate a burrito up here in New England… They gave it to me on a plate. With silverware. And the sauce and cheese on the gd outside.

5 out of 7, perfect comment

Getting this party started:

Last year a hurricane came up the coast all the way to Maine rather than being pushed out to sea, and a number of the coastal towns around us saw millions of dollars worth of damage despite how much the storm had weakened over cooler waters. A few days later I was able to get over to my grandmother’s old house to check the damage for my aunt and could barely believe the devastation - piles of sand, seaweed, jersey barriers crammed against each other all akimbo, and mountains of flood damaged property waiting to be hauled away. All just from the storm surge.

Why a few days later, you ask?

My side of the family is slowly trickling into the state for their annual vacations in Maine, for two weeks this year instead of the usual 7 days. It’s nice though, getting to see each group when they arrive instead of showing up to 20-something people all at once, all in one house. It will be that level of craziness come Sunday, when they’re planning to throw (yet another) baby shower for us. Much as I enjoy not spending money, three baby showers is too damn high. I’m hopeful that my brother found the copy of Go the F#$k to Sleep we gave them when my niece was born.

One of our ducks, Pearl, hatched out a dozen little babies under my potting bench. While she’s exceptional at hatching them, she is a less than stellar mother and I have been responding to alarm peeps regularly while she sits around with the ones who manage to keep up with her.

There’s just so much hidden goodness inside! My last playthrough has me struggling less, and I found more, but apparently I just wasn’t thorough enough

Trying to actually get the good ending in Tunic, not too proud to admit I’m using a tracker this time around. And wow, I passed up SO. MUCH. last time around

Iirc the leaked internal docs and reporting showed that nvidia was downloading 81 years worth of video per day. If the pattern holds, and we “throw” the books at them, it probably looks a lot like one of those building-sized front end loaders dropping the library of Alexandria on those executives.

As an alternative, I would be fine if nvidia were no longer allowed to hold copyright or trademarks since the company believes that those don’t matter, required to share all internal documents (including any and all planning), and required to open source all their code until the company implodes

Here’s hoping the plaintiffs can bring the leaked internal docs from nvidia’s management directing engineers to violate the TOS of several sites to show a pattern of malfeasance, and that the judge has at least a modicum of understanding regarding these topics. Throw the book(s) at 'em.

As a monogamous cishetflex guy, I would offer a hug or other platonic physical comforting gesture to you and say “I dunno, people are weird. Don’t let us get you down”.

To your point about gender being uncountably infinite, I agree with you - particularly because my gender is only defined by my singular relationship to how I perceive myself (and I think everybody comes to that in their own way). There’s a certain subset of “everyone” that just can’t grok that someone else could have a different understanding of themselves, and a nonzero percentage of them feels like those differences of opinions devalue their existence for one reason or another. It’s totally unwarranted and not the case, but it sucks when they act on those feelings to denigrate another person.

I’m sad that you’re getting down about it, but I also want to encourage you - you grappling with this is going to strengthen who you are and I’m really excited for that person.

I use it/its in spaces where I do not plan on engaging with people as individuals, like on youtube where I get hundreds of comments and I’m not going to bother reading usernames

Like @Vodulas I’m a little perplexed by this and hope you won’t mind providing some more clarity

Standard “I don’t appreciate being in this meme” comment except this is actually my favorite movie so I kinda do

Chewing will cause them to mix as well, but there’s less time for the compounds to catalyze and “mature” to change the flavor very much

I know grifters and charlatans infest every industry, but it feels especially bad when they’re taking advantage of folks who are trying to do positive things. It’s a shame these state attorneys general aren’t chomping at the bit to combat these scams.

For our New England peeps: we’ve had a really good experience with ReVision Energy. They’ve linked us to the state webpages with explanations of tax incentives and other programs that impact our plans, are a worker-owned co-op, and have been pleasant to work with. When we had some panels that weren’t producing what they should, they warrantied them but ended up allowing us to keep two panels for our own separate solar plans and the techs even sent us links to resources for those projects.

It’s not just that, but the number of cuts made also increases the amount of different compounds mixing after being separated by cell walls which causes them to form new compounds.
