  • Do you make a grocery list, or do you just go to the store and wing it?

    Jump

  • Maybe I should check out their grocery options. I've mostly been using Too Good to Go for like a pizza @ $4.

  • Spotify subscriptions should be boycotted as if it were a US-based company

    Jump

  • People look at me like I'm crazy when I say I just buy music (usually from Bandcamp). It's not always more expensive, I get to keep the files drm free, and the people making music get paid

  • Steam survey for December 2025 shows Linux holding to 3.19%

    Jump

  • Full time Linux here. No complaints.

    Been playing expedition 33 and vampire survivors.

  • The forbidden S word

    Jump

  • I've asked people "why are you applying to this role at this company, out of all the options?"

    Honest answers like "it uses a tech stack I like and the salary is competitive" are fine. Sycophantic answers like "I just really believe in your mission and company values" are less endearing.

  • Many Americans Are Open to Car-Free Living

    Jump

  • Car free is pretty great. Was out until 3am for new years eve. Took the train home. Waited about 5 minutes on the platform for it.

    Other passengers in the train car? A disgustingly cute couple in their early 20s sharing headphones. A late 20s lady playing phone games. A mid 30s lady who was falling down drunk and her man, eating pizza, helping her stay awake.

    That last couple especially benefitted from taking the train. They were in no shape to drive.

  • Tony Perkins Calls For Boycotting "Woke" Chick-fil-A - Joe.My.God.

    Jump

  • s it possible for Chic-fil-a to ever redeem itself in your eyes?

    I honestly haven't been following them.

    Did they ever admit fault? That's big for me. An explicit "we were wrong"

  • "I just don't talk politics" before giving you their Andrew Tate take

    Jump

  • "not political" means they are okay enough with the way things are that they don't need to engage with it. It's conservative. Not necessarily far right reactionary that wants to change things for the worse, but they don't care about other people. (Or, rarely, don't recognize or care about their own suffering)

    It's an idiot or monster's stance.

  • Do any of you actually call your cats by their names?

    Jump

  • I call my cat by his name. Not his full name, just the first name unless he's being formally introduced or in a lot of trouble.

  • Commentary on taking feedback as a game designer, from someone who worked on the original DOOM.

    Jump

  • Expected more people arguing about dark souls in here. There's usually a contingent of people going at it over "I want to win on the first or maybe second try" vs "the game is about failing repeatedly until you persevere"

  • Even in the capitalist hellscape of tech startups, we have like a frontend group that makes decisions about the front end code that's separate from the entire engineering org. Likewise there's one for the backend, for devops concerns, and so on.

    Some orgs are disorganized and require a lot of vertical approval steps, but that's not an inherent nature of committee

    Almost half of all Germans want a ban on fireworks

    Jump

  • Yeah I feel like 400 years ago in a life where you've never seen sparkling colors, they were impressive. We have many other colors and lights now with fewer downsides.

  • Tough economic times ahead

    Jump

  • Oof.

    I (a man who doesn't date me) personally feel like past five or so years in either direction it tends to rapidly fall off. Look weird and hard to relate to.

  • After playing DCSS for two years I finally beat it

    Jump

  • Short and sweet is great!

    They've really shortened the game. Lair used to be 8 floors. Orc was 5. I think they shortened hell, too.

    The qol stuff has generally been pretty solid.

    The only change I actively dislike is the opportunity attacks you suffer when moving. I added a "blink the screen yellow when it happens" to my config to alert me, but I just think the mechanic isn't fun.

    Ok, I do kind of miss the yellow wands (heal, haste). And being able to learn Controlled Blink as a spell. That stuff was nice.

  • Usually some people will take initiative and some people will delegate their responsibilities. Form committees , that sort of thing.

  • After playing DCSS for two years I finally beat it

    Jump

  • Congrats. I play a lot of crawl, and have pretty regularly since v0.16 or so. There's been a lot of changes (there used to be food! Spells made you hungry!) but the core of it remains very good.

    At one point I had a win with every species, but they added new ones and removed some since then.

    Minotaur Berserker was my first win. Can't go wrong with screaming and headbutting, I say.

    Gargoyle Earth Elementalist was also fun. If you get Shatter online it can delete a lot of stuff outright. You just need another solution for flying stuff and jellies.

    I think it's an Ice spell now, but the one that takes a couple turns and then just kills the nearest creature was amazing. Did the extended endgame with that. Blew up so many pandemonium lords.

    I don't usually do the extended anymore. Hell is, appropriately, unpleasant. Pandemonium isn't as bad, but there's always the risk of popping in next to a very bad crowd.

    Also the tomb can get fucked.

    The ascent with the orb is usually pretty safe, with the occasional heart stopper. I've lost at least two dudes on the way up. One gargoyle ate a high damage spell from one of those hell sentinels. Should have blinked or fogged or something. One felid ate a pan lord's chain lighting that was more than his max health.

    Hm I'm rambling. Great game. Highly recommend.

  • My dad said something like this a couple months back. He didn't think workers could run a business. When I pointed out all the bad decisions I've seen my bosses make, especially the ones made over the injections objections of workers, he didn't have much of a response.

    People believe things emotionally. (All of us are susceptible to this, sadly.)

    Edit: fix strange autocorrect of injections instead of objections

  • NYC is one of the few places in the USA where you can mostly just get on a train or bus and go. It's pretty great. There's room for improvement - some lines are better than others, and off peak you can wait half an hour if you just miss it. But mostly it just works

  • Flu is surging nationwide, and doctors say we're nowhere near the peak

    Jump

  • I got the vaccine as soon as it was available. A good friend procrastinated. We saw their little nephew together and hung out indoors one day. The nephew got the flu. My friend got the flu. I seem to be fine. My friend was bedridden for about a week.

    They got their flu and COVID shots after they recovered, at least.

  • How much money should one person realistically make or have?

    Jump

  • I've read your post a dozen times and I'm confused.

    Are you at the $5 million cap in this scenario? You're certainly not going to waste away with $500k/year coming in, labor free.

    Or are you closer to median income of like $80k, and thus have no funds for a big passion project?

    Either way, you can always pool resources and form an organization of some sort. We don't really want a ton of power collected in individuals. Especially not if the only reason they have that power is because they had money.
