I’d like to think Firaxis and Sid Meier still hold water for Civilization at least, but I do get your point. Most of the games I go back to now and enjoy are nowhere near the ballpark of “AAA”.

Dang. This is almost my list as well, and the ones that are different I can totally see why they could be on someone else’s list. I like your taste in games.

• Outer Wilds
• The Return of the Obra Dinn
• I’ll bunch the Mass Effect trilogy together here
• Super Metroid
• The Last of Us
• Bioshock: Infinite
• Zelda: Ocarina of Time
• Oxygen not Included
• Fallout: NV
• Diablo 2

I know it pales in comparison to most others here, but that Star Wars theory about Jar Jar Binks being the ultimate Sith mastermind instantly popped into my head.

Whatever’s the current “big” issue in showbiz. I really couldn’t care less that ABC was photographed with DEF in GHI, possibly hinting a relationship collapse with JKL, or whatever it was that people are harping about with other people’s lives.

I get quite a bit of flak from my colleagues for paying for search, but I kid you not, I don’t regret splurging on a Kagi subscription at all. It’s personally less stressful for me, having to wade through less cruft, and I think I even work significantly faster because of how I use it.

It’s sad when you think about it. Search was such a good experience in the past.

I’m not changing mine until (1) after the 30th, (2) game is back on for purchase in restricted countries, and (3) Sony doesn’t backpedal yet again before then.

Look, I honestly get the sentiment and AH deserves the praise for sure, but at this point I honestly can’t confidently say I trust Sony to not just be doing all this for positive PR.

The first time I tried a sausage sizzle from Bunnings, I was a bit disappointed. Maybe it’s because all my mates have been recommending giving it a try and hyping it up and whatnot, and I was really looking forward to it when I finally got around to it, but I didn’t really find it all that after the fact.

I mean, it’s not bad. It’s a couple of bucks, it’s a great sausage on white bread, I’d get it again no worries. I kinda just expected more I guess.

Not the OP, but if youve got your own domain, you can register it with Proton so that you can create email addresses on it that route to your Proton inbox.

How it’ll work is:

• Proton will ask you to verify you own the domain (by adding a few TXT records on it)
• then Proton will give you some MX records you can add to your domain so that mail routes to Proton using your domain.

• Protonmail
• Spotify
• Kagi search
• a handful of servers scattered in DigitalOcean, Hetzner, and AWS
• Sendgrid

My guess would be because of the physics sandbox + lego builders aspect of it.

Yeah I just wish the lemmy ONI community was a bit more active. I should be above 2K hours in now too, and I haven’t won yet. My current run I’m trying to get up to 20 dupes while also trying my first attempt at something magma power.

I’m with you there. This league’s been really great so far. I’m looking forward to seeing how others use the new gem variants.

Panic at the Cisco is up there for me.

I’ve been having difficulty joining private trackers as well, but mostly I’ve just been trying to apply to a few that I think I’d like to join. Don’t quite understand why I don’t get an invite though. I maintain a perma up seedbox, and wouldve thought that was mostly what’s important for private trackers.

As someone who’s having a bit of difficulty finding great incremental games, would you mind giving aome recommendations?

I moved to Proton from Gmail + friends, and I don’t regret it one bit. I’ve tried degoogling, and while that hasn’t always been successful, email and calendar have been two of the absolute simplest things to leave behind in Google.

One (quite unknown) perk you get with certain Proton plans is you also get access to SimpleLogin, which is an email proxy service. It’s great if you set it up on one of your domains, so you can create not just unique passwords but also unique email addresses for accounts you create online.

I’ve set up my Spotify to tell Last.fm what songs I listen to (aka scrobble). Over time, Last.fm gets a pretty good idea of what songs you like, so when I wanna discover new songs, I go to Last.fm, ask it to play me a mix, and direct it to play the songs through my Spotify. I find that its recommendations are much better than what I get from using Spotify alone.

I’ve been feeling nostalgic the past weeks so I decided to go back and finally give a fair go. I’ve never read it, but I was really hooked on the anime when I was younger, and felt frustrated when the anime ended when it did.

It’s a bit of a dated style, but I’m still liking it so far. Early days, can’t wait to get to where I stopped.

The public library I go to has tons of communal spaces, as well as a makerspace. I love it!
