I cancelled back on the first price hike they did. Just wasn’t enough for the handful of times I used it per year. They had me at the point where I kinda didn’t care I was paying, but the price hike gave me a wake up call. Since then they’ve continued to up the prices and I’ve continued to not give a shit. Netflix originally won me back from bothering to pirate stuff cause it was so good and easy, now the opposite is true in the streaming space.

One of them is no keyboard and mouse support on PC IIRC.

Google screwed up like a lot of companies do. YouTube was never profitable to run. They were just burning through cash to keep the lights on and become the number one video host online.

Internally there became a mandate to try and turn it into a profit making machine and the advertisers caught wind so they stepped in with their demands knowing that they were going to be the source of the profits. This is where the content restrictions started to happen as videos needed to become ad friendly.

I wish YouTube would have figured out another path to help provide the service and pay video creators. At least with Premium you don’t get ads and Sponsor Skip means you don’t see embedded VPN and game sponsors.

The Goblin trader that gets left in the Goblin camp. The way he says “Praise The Absolute” whilst brushing his finger across his nose is so well delivered. Reminds me of a character from a Monty Python sequence.

Mine took almost three weeks. Was sat in customs for days and then out for delivery for three days because my address was labelled incorrectly.

I just got a Q5 Pro myself and use the End key all the time so I reworked the keys and flashed the firmware.

[del] is now [PrnScn]

[pgup] is [del] / [insert] (Using + [fn] key)

[pgdn] is [home] / [pgup]

[home] is [end] / [pgdn]

I’ll have to order new keycaps to match, but so far it’s felt good to use that way and I find that the only time I mispress is when I look at the keyboard.

Is Floorp the only option for Firefox for removing horizontal tabs? I like the idea of vertical tabs, but only if I can get rid of the horizontal bar and free up that extra screen space.

Anyone got a non-paywalled archive link?

I still say this.

It’s already dead, please leave the corpse alone.

It is kinda sad given the legacy of the show, it almost made it to 30 and was the place of so many big industry moments (good and bad). Things have become more spread out now across GamesCom, PAXs, TGS, GDC, Develop and the many I’m forgetting.

I can get the argument that we really don’t need much of an in-person event given that stuff can be streamed instantly around the world now, we don’t need to rely on people setting up cameras in front of TVs to show off noisy gameplay footage, but the fact that so many others shows still exist proves that there is a want for in-person events.

E3’s death kinda came about because it got chipped away from all sides. There were better places for industry deal making to be done (GDC), Big publishers peeled off to do their own thing, and the expensive mark up that hit the other companies no longer appealed as they could get what they needed from PAX and GamesCom.

5 second penalty felt light give he just took a constructor rival out of the points.

Go to the gym. Running on the treadmill listening to an audiobook is great I can just zone into the book.

First name that came to mind when I saw the thread title. His new Weird Stuff in a Can episode was a fun journey.

Siliconera: Armored Core VI may be the best game FromSoftware has made to date

That statement carries a megaton of weapon-grade weight upon it.

The only genres I didn’t see were romcom and court room drama, though maybe I just missed those with all the quick cuts.

Mostly kept away from news about BG3 story because I’m playing it and don’t want to be spoiled. Had no idea that there might be “backlash” against Lae’zel. Though I’m not going to read much stock in an article that’s just a bunch of tweets compiled together.

Had plenty of RPG characters not to be to my taste in other games, but my complaints usually only come in if there’s too many of them within a single game. I kinda want to know there’s a range of characters to explore with, shows breadth. Certainly if it were a full palette of whiny brats then I’d probably bounce off the game.

My only complaint so far (and I know there’s been posts in this area) is just how fucking horny people seem to be. I’m trying to buddy up with party members and they’re taking it as me coming on to them. I feel like I’m walking on egg shells when picking some responses in fear it’ll get me shoved into the sex pen with them. I’m also surprised at how fast relationships develop. I’m still in act one and have had 3 or 4 people in my camp express their wishes to bed me. Dudes, we’ve just met and yer boi has a fucked up STD like wriggler in my eye.

I want to run videos on a second screen, but occasionally I need to check on a document or webpage so I’d like to quickly ALT+TAB to bring up the browser window and have it sit on top of the video screen, then I can minimize the browser once I’m done and the video is still there playing. (I’m doing this right now in reply to your message).

Think of it as an animated/audio desktop background.

I’ve found a workaround for now using Enhancer for Youtube’s pop-out player.

Stefan Milo - Been really enjoying his videos “digging” into archaeology and pre-history.

A recent food discovery (Well within the last year) I made was Charlie Anderson highly recommend his series on creating NY style pizza.

Aaah, so it’s a homage to Cronenberg’s 1975 movie Shivers

Hobbes had developed a parasite that was “a combination of aphrodisiac and venereal disease that will, hopefully, turn the world into one beautiful mindless orgy.”
