I did something similar to this but I misremembered the figure. So I got to watch my boss fiddle and fumble for the courage to say ‘actually it was only an X% raise, not Y%’

It made dungeoning take less time. If it’s faster, it’s cheaper. Hazing endears the group to the new member. The inconvenience of hiking out to the dungeon after getting a group together, and reforming a group after someone left because the warlock couldn’t summon the tank in time to start the dungeon well before their dinner, was a shared trauma that helped the group cohese.

Old folks talk about how much better life was before tech. But it isn’t just old people. Survivors of war-torn towns and cities also come to look fondly upon their times of utter strife and starvation. The circumstances made every person much less disposable (or less cheap) and so people felt more valued. I remember a news story about someone finding graffiti in a city that was rebuilt after a war, the message translated as “Times were better, when they were worse.”

I got a razr because the zenphone got huge. What I didn’t expect to love are the big bezels on the internal screen (to allow it to close) they stop the fleshy bottom of my thumb from touching the screen, an issue I’ve had with previous phones.

Some people like a lighter weight and different grips. Lots of cases have a kickstand where you can prop up the deck and use your favorite controller.

I’d guess it is because the most popular way to acquire games for Citra was Nintendo’s own servers

Can confirm. I struggled to remember the name of the ancient website vampirefreaks after the concept came up in conversation and out of the big search engines only Bing’s flavor of chatGPT could tell me what I was looking for.

I’ll have to whip out the color picker to know Australia’s rating for Tenerife

Hell I usually limit games to 45 or 30 if they happen to run 50+ on the Deck. Not because I don’t notice a difference but because “what if I can’t charge my Deck for some reason?”.

Just make sure to wear gloves

Lenovos used to be even better, with quick access to a lot of internals via various hatches on the bottom

Anyone have recommendations for an executive style chair with a high back? I assume the reason why I can’t find them anywhere is a combination of them being a larger box by volume and something about ergonomics but I love reclining in a chair with a high slightly wide back that doesn’t put all the weight onto my feet like ‘racer’ style chairs tend to do.

Default configuration worked fairly well for me in my first hour. Perhaps it tanks significantly once your factory really gets into swing

Mosquito

I see what you did there.

Hell even my micro SD card in a USB adapter seems to outpace a flash drive

My favorite moment in that game is a serious case of understatement in dialogue prompt. You have an option to help one of two diametrically opposed people and if you choose “Help person A” you draw your sword on person B. If you choose “Help person B” you immediately throat punch person A.

Big two stick energy.

Rav4’s used to be awesome little cars with great visibility, shorter than a Camry and only a bit wider than a Corolla. Now they’re basically Town & Country’s

Almost poetic that Google’s default settings campaign lost them a case against a store that pays for exclusivity.

And the account has to have prior purchases older than the notice of this release. So only the most forward thinking scalpers who made hundreds of accounts after last release will be able to compete.

Email is incredibly insecure. There can be no expectation of veracity or privacy within an email. The core of Email protocols were made when the Internet was a much more secret club.
