TBH it was pretty barebones, but I did enjoy seeing some of my worlds in stereoscopic 3D. It also scares me for the future of VR (minecraft is a REALLY popular game. If it is dropping VR does that mean adoption isn’t going that well?).

Also, this is specifically regarding Bedrock minecraft. Java has never officially supported it, but there are mods that add the functionality.

I haven’t played it on steam deck, but it might be a little hard. It requires a little precision aiming, so you could maybe pull it off with the trackpad, but I struggle with mouse as it is. If they added some console-like auto aim it would be a phenomenal controller game.

Looking rough to start

Well, that’s not good

I was completely unaware this was coming out. I’m curious to see what NMRIH die hards think of it before I buy/download it.

Oooh, this is a great idea! I’m bald AF now so might be a great way to capitalize on that

takedown pins on a chain

That’s a thing?! That’s so smart!!! I gotta look into an aftermarket version of that. Like, I don’t expect to lose the takedown pin nor do I think I’ll ever really find myself taking it out somewhere I would drop it, but can’t hurt to make extra sure I can’t drop it.

This was a real ad apparently. Snopes Article

Here’s a video of it in action

I would definitely get some ideas from the Internet, but verify them with a vet afterwards. If you feel like your current vets advice isn’t working don’t be afraid to get a second opinion from a different vet (it’s what I would do with a human doctor as well).

Regardless of truck size, I don’t think tractor trailers are going anywhere. Even if we made trucks smaller those would still be out there

Smaller trucks would still get in accidents though, and I imagine they would be less deadly

I’d say I missed out on this really cool map making period in gaming history (Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake, Half-life, counter-strike, etc.), but it kinda lived on a little when I was a teenager (countless, painful hours making halo 3 and halo: reach maps using a controller…fun times though). Kids nowadays have it the best though: When I was little we DREAMED of a lego video game and minecraft nails that (lego island and lego island 2 were awesome, but it wasn’t infinite building awesome).

I was gonna chalk it up to strength of schedule (by that I mean give the team that is probably gonna get walloped a ranking for a week or 2), but Boston College plays Mizzou (currently ranked 9th) in 2 weeks. Georgia Tech is playing Louisville (currently ranked 22nd) in 2 weeks. I guess it’s other factors, who knows how the voters in the AP Poll decide…

Regardless, if Boston College beats Mizzou, and Georgia Tech beats Louisville they both can be ranked by the end of week 2.

Hell yes brother! Same. It’s always nice when I’m on the bus or an airplane and I can just break out wired headphones. No worries about charging them, they just work!

I see someone else read this NY Times article today. Wild read, I was trying to get things done around the house and it sucked me in.

Edit: OP posted the article in another community, can’t believe I missed it. https://kbin.melroy.org/m/news@lemmy.world/t/411895

Mods, I appreciate this bot!

Deciphering media bias is tough, and finding 1 site that will ‘perfectly’ identify biases is an impossible task, but at the minimum having this bot show up on posts ‘gets people thinking’ about the credibility of their news sources.

MBFC doesn’t have to be the ultimate arbitrator either. If it is missing something about a specific article people can call it out in the comments. At the end of the day, the worst thing it does is add more data about a news source and I’m not gonna complain about that.

If you’re retired and in Florida there’s a whole competitive scene! My buddy’s parents got us into the game 2 years ago before they moved to the villages. They came back to visit a few months ago and I was VERY humbled .

Maybe that’s why it’s cheap to get tennis lessons now.

Just gotta hope they aren’t stealing your tennis court to play pickleball! Lol

TL;DR: it felt like there was no ‘casual’ mode

I would run into an issue where I would use 1 meta load out and would hold around a 1.0 k/d, but if I ever wanted to experiment and try some other guns or unlock some new attachments I would get absolutely shredded. I would do this for a few matches, unlock whatever I was trying to unlock, and then switch back to my most efficient load out and absolutely shred the lobby I was playing in for a few games until I averaged back to a 1.0 k/d.

I felt like the only multiplayer option was ‘competitive’ and I couldn’t really experiment with things without getting my shit pushed in.

For an IRL comparison: I play pickleball from time to time and if I casually play someone at or slightly below my skill level I can experiment a little (try landing shots in different places, work on forehand vs. backhand, etc.), but if I play in a competitive tournament and go up against a pro they will absolutely kick my ass in record time (and that’s okay lol).
