Its from an HBO show.

I’m of the opinion that sourdough makes for great french toast.

Its a storm alright

It seems like its usually just one person just posting over and over or making alts (I assume, based on the fact they just reiterate the same arguments), rather than a coordinated effort.

I know someone like this and it was very anger inducing. Easily the worst lies and sometimes about the dumbest things too.

I’ve come to realize its a compulsive thing they do when they’re stressed, which made me more sad about it than mad. (But its still a little maddening)

An Australian that big doesn’t need a machine gun.

Weirdo answer, but Geralt from the Witcher games.

I can relate to the somewhat outcast with a specialized skillset that people need but also loathe to pay for.

I think if you approach zombies from any logical angle, you’re going to find they’re pretty flawed and would never ‘work’ as depicted in most movies.

Its easier to think of them as some magic or demonic force that’s reanimating the dead not bound by traditional biological rules.

Easily 1000% my Samsung TV.

Each update somehow makes it slower, it always loads up whatever the Samsung TV app thing is before it will do anything with a menu so you can get out of it, I believe it requires a Samsung account before it will allows you to do anything, and every now and then it locks up so hard that I have to factory reset it to get it to work again.

I refuse to buy anything from Samsung ever again.

A lot of this goes down to how quickly you need it. If you look around on Mastodon, you’ll find artists using tags like ‘#commissionsopen’ showing they’re available. You’ll be able to see their previous work so you can kind of find someone who has the style or vibes you’re looking for.

Price is going to be a huge range because it depends on how detailed it is, when you need it, etc. Most artists that do commissions will have general prices for their work laid out so you’ll have a rough idea for what they’ll charge.

You will want a fairly high res image (without the game title text, which you’ll add later as it may need to be moved around) because you’ll end up cropping and resizing it for other library assets, and for other store platforms if you decide to go down that route. (Also because Steam will sometimes add/change required images)

I can’t speak for all artists of course but I’d guesstimate you’re probably looking at ~$125 and 1-2 weeks for delivery. (though again, super dependent on what you’re looking for)

These are side jobs for most paid-by-commission artists, so you’ll have to be a little loose with expectations.

I think its more mainstream now, but looking for players ~2 decades ago, it was generally only socially anxious nerds who were interested in the idea. (At least around here)

I’ve seen some players prefer a ‘back seat’ and not engage too heavily in the social part of the game and watch others do that role, which is fine, but I could see where they’d probably prefer different types of games altogether.

I was, yes.

Admittedly, D&D (and other TTRPGs)

I used to do a lot of DMing but its a lot of work to keep the campaign up, dealing with players who just don’t show, and a million other frustrations.

I reached a point where I finally stopped and said “Am I even having fun playing this?” The answer ended up being generally, no.

Was going to recommend ifixit as well - I got the little toolkit and replacement parts from them and their guide was very useful.

I have a little foundation for this:

I’ve seen a lineup of hundreds of identical PCs all get the exact same OS image, and inevitably you’ll get one or two that are significantly slower than the rest.

Its my belief that sometimes there’s some sort of deeply embedded hardware flaw that makes some computers suck and there’s no amount of tweaks or reinstalling an OS that will fix it.

I had a cracked phone screen (which made ~half the screen unusable) and after an absolute debacle trying to get it fixed at a phone repair place, I finally just ordered the parts and did it myself.

I was intimidated because I haven’t messed with phone repairs before, but it came out great and works as it should.

Its not a major project but it was a weird stress and I feel much better having it fixed.

I think they would just take the money given to the hostages/charities back.

So really you’d just be threatening a bunch of bankers and tellers for a short time.

I don’t think a jury is going to see that as honorable or anything.

I might be wrong, but as far as I heard, any APK installed will have to go through Google’s dev verification.

A cursory glance at Fedidb says its probably around 50k.

I’d bet most users are lurkers.

I’d actually not assume the joint failure was his mistake. It could be something else unrelated or the customer doing something funky.

If you did bring it up, I wouldn’t assign blame and more assess the situation for other possibilities.
