It may not be your cup of tea, but a lot of people (me included) really like SoT.

Yes, the linked article does have images of Normany, but this is clearly Holland

They either have a Star Trek license and can’t say so yet, or they are going to be sued into oblivion.

We have per weight pricing on a lot of items in The Netherlands. It’s great for comparing different items when you’re in the supermarket, but doesn’t really work against shrinkification. You simply don’t remember the price-per-kg from last week.

Me too. I will not spend a single cent on Epic, but I’ll happily buy Steam games.

I spent about the same on a couple of stash tabs during a sale. I don’t regret it. The game gave me a couple of hundred hours of fun. That’s more than most games

Even in the base (not director’s cut) version?

Too bad about the horrible Monster Energy product placement. It totally ruined the game for me.

I get a good full res pic (using kbin in firefox for android). Maybe it’s your client?

Is it irritating to read multi-page comics as one long strip?

For me, it’s great this way. As long as it is a direct image link. That way my browser does the scaling and I can easy zoom in. Some sites (like imgur) prevent you from direcltly opening the image, prevent zooming and even downscale the image to a blurry mess.

I’ve been playing V Rising PvE with a friend. Pretty fun game. Much less grind than typical survival or basebuilding games. But the bosses are quite hard to compensate.

The Irish Coffee is wrong though. The whiskey goes in first, then the coffee.

I have a Brother laser printer. I print a lot. It just works, it’s cheap and you can use off-brand toner. It’s great!

It’s not about clicks, it’s about attribution. That is also why they all want to track you. It’s not just about targeting ads. If you buy something in a webshop and the advertiser can show that you saw a (related) ad for that somewhere in the last X days/weeks then the sale is attributed to the advertiser and they get paid a fee. That is why they want to track anything and everything. The more data they collect, the higher the chance they can show attribution. No clicks required.

I’m currently playing V Rising with a friend on a private server. I like survival games but I hate PvP, raiding and griefers. So far it’s pretty good fun! Like a mix between a Diablo-like ARPG and something like Valheim. You don’t need to grind resources so much, you collect plenty just playing. The focus is more on combat. Some bosses are pretty tough and progress is gated behind them.

It’s been tried multiple times and it just doesn’t work. Physics (the speed of light) ultimately dictates latency. Streaming only works for a rather small subset of games that doesn’t rely on reaction time or latency at all. And then only works for people who play those games a lot (you’re not going to sub to a streaming game service if the majority of the games you want to play don’t work on it). There’s a reason Google Stadia died.

That’s just fashion you don’t like 😄

It’s called fashion. Give it a decade, something else will become fashion.
