Lol, could’ve been bad. I hate the new UI.

CCAirWater@lemm.eeOPto Houseplants@mander.xyz•It's there any salvation for this orchid...?English3·7 days agoNoted. We have some orchid food… is that the same as what you mentioned? Google it’s not too helpful with the term ‘orchid dung,’ sorry.
CCAirWater@lemm.eeOPto Houseplants@mander.xyz•It's there any salvation for this orchid...?English4·7 days agoWe had trimmed at the dead stalk section. I think my wife threw the brown stalks away. I just did some reading on that word, keiki. Seems you are right with the roots and hopefully we can grow something out of this. It’s heartbreaking. We are trying really hard to keep her alive but we suck at plants and green thumbing. Thank you for your advice though!
CCAirWater@lemm.eeOPto Houseplants@mander.xyz•It's there any salvation for this orchid...?English3·7 days agoMhm! The bad leaf popped off without issue for my wife. I snipped the stalks down. Hopefully she can recover… The plant, I mean. Not my wife. We both don’t have green thumbs but really want to.
Thank you for the advice!
CCAirWater@lemm.eeOPto Houseplants@mander.xyz•It's there any salvation for this orchid...?English2·7 days agoIt popped off on it’s own for my wife 🤦♀️
Thank you for your advice!
If you swipe down on the notifs twice, you can edit them to be similar to the previous style.
On topic of your post, fuuuuck everything about their forcing AI, but my biggest gripe is how they moved the audio display (from, like, Spotify or audiobook readers/podcast apps) to the bottom of the lock screen as a tiny bar on the bottom instead of showing me all the info as it did before. It’s super annoying when I swipe to unlock and pause what I’m listening to.

Would you recommend removing the dead leaf…? It seems to be growing new greenery.
I was laughing. Now I feel personally attacked. 😅
You’re not wrong tho
The aesthetic is on point. I think it has a vibe that is definitely not something I’ve seen before. Minus the phantom flayers (ب_ب)
CCAirWater@lemm.eetoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•A few weeks early but no one's complainingEnglish2·16 days agoAgreed on the second part. I don’t understand why anyone would want to sleep in a place like that.
But I disagree on the first part. Should all be rubble, imo. Glorifying the traitors just set us up for the current situation since the plants that have grown are just as rotten as the root imo. The only reason the man got office is because he co-opted the movement that’s been in play for at least 60 years by the likes of turtle-lookin fuckbag McConnell. Remember the Tea Party a few years ago? All of this is a culmination of years of effort by the right wings to push out progressive ideals. Trump just took advantage of the hysteria and pushed the GOP old guard out and set him up as narcissist supreme.
Remove the reminders of the old days as physical locations, imo.
Ohhhh, PC issues? Sorry. I never had enough money for a decent enough gaming computer to be able to play many games.
CCAirWater@lemm.eetoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•A few weeks early but no one's complainingEnglish141·16 days agoLike the Confederate statues? Nah. Tear it down. It doesn’t serve as a reminder to prevent. It serves as a monolithic idol for shitty people to rally around and mythologize.
I don’t advocate burning history altogether, but keeping shitty places and statues around for shitty people to glorify serves the exact opposite of preserving the history. It just gives them hope and ideas that the “old days” will come back around. Take a picture or something and put it in a museum, at most. And make the museum about the horrific acts and atrocities, not about preserving the history of the vile.
There’s a reason the Vietnam memorial is so iconic. It lists the soldier’s names, and it preserves their legacy as a reminder of pointless war. But it doesn’t glorify the war. Same for the ground zero memorial in NYC. It does not glorify the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, nor the atrocities that occured over there despite the reminder from the Vietnam war. It serves to remind of the lives of many that were taken.
The only reason I’m okay with the preservation of the Holocaust memorial locations is that the history of the people murdered there is on display. The scratches in the walls. Their glasses and belongings. The current political situation aside, people can go there and see the evil that occured as a somber reminder. Whether they are one of the peoples that those atrocities happened to or not.
Yet still, shitty people pose on the tracks for instagram, or go there for the evil itself, rather than that somber reminder.
A slave house, plantation, or Confederate statue isn’t a somber reminder. It’s simply there because they want glorify the shitty acts and want them to come back around. They want to remind people what they think the worth of their existence is. They want to deify their generals and create some type of mythology to their history. There’s nothing there for the people who were abused or murdered in those times. It only stands currently so people now can say they want to preserve “the history,” which is the history of the abusers and the murderers.
I’ll concede the hub in Demon’s Souls is much better than Elden Ring. No matter what, I turned down the wrong corridor. Either looking for the blacksmith, or the twins, or the two fingers, didn’t matter. Every damn time, I’d go down the wrong way.
Plus, it felt… Empty? Demon’s Souls hub is much larger but still has an aesthetic that feels like everyone is scared, tired, or restless. I like that you can “save” people like Dead Rising and see them back at camp. It feels more immersive. Elden Ring has that too, but not as many NPCs end up there from what I remember. It’s more that they’d always leave the hub, like the lady who hugs. Plus, after the burning of the tree, it’s completely abandoned except the black might guy. Always feel bad that I couldn’t get him out. It’s like the people in the hub all just served as exposition on the lore of the world, not “real” people. I didn’t go back there nearly as much as in Demon’s Souls
Without looking down? I’m not sure what that means.
I will say the controls are irksome with sprint being circle. I tend to half-claw my controller. Like, left hand is regular grip, but right hand is thumb on the R3 stick, middle finger for the triggers, and index finger for the circle button. While using thumb for the X, triangle, square buttons.
In GTA, I tend to push the camera forward to look a little down while driving. Helps me see stuff a little better but drives people nuts when they watch me play lol
Bloodborne was my first. It was always… Okay. I still don’t know what the hell was happening. Apparently there’s a night mode you can unlock??? I consider Elden Ring my first true one. I played the hell out of the base game. I’ve only got to complete the final boss twice to unlock all the trophies lol. But I definitely need to pick up the dlc one day soon.
Thankfully I got that ring. The Cling Ring, I think it’s called? Super helpful!
I feel like I’m at least 30% through the game, if I had to guess. It’s a lot of fun, but much more brutally punishing compared to Bloodborne or especially Elden Ring. I still haven’t got a clue what the hell is really going on, but I look forward to manta rays!
Yeah, Scorpion King was fun when I was a kid.
The Tom Cruise one was forgettable. It wasn’t directly related to the OG trilogy, iirc. It has a lady mummy and was mid AF. The 3rd Mummy was awful with the recast of the main actress.ever since, I’ve been craving a solid mummy horror. Watching the 1st as a kid, when that guy gets his eyeballs taken, I was freaked. I can still hear the character sayin, “my eyes!” Without a tongue lol. Need a good mummy film!
Curious what it’s missing for you. I loved it tho haha. Maybe it was too open world? Hopefully they’ll port the games to your system soon!
Oh hopefully the mace will last till late game haha. Good lookin’ out tho! Thank you!
We have a weird placement for our apartment. We don’t really have the sun direct in the winter. And no window in the restrooms, unfortunately. I’ve got her at the best window I can try for. Plus, our cat constantly tries to eat her if I place her in any other window. It’s so frustrating.
