I’m intrigued because I have most ingredients except the pineapple juice, I’m always missing pineapple juice.

But how do you measure 5ml? With a pipette? :)

Sad news :(

Why didn’t you just say sparkling water? I thought topo chico must be some exotic ingredient or something 😄

Reminds me of a joke I’m going to attempt to translate:

• Why do woodpeckers have beaks?
• So they don’t smash their heads against the tree.

But how would them not having the disease make them worse people?

Came here just to say “headphone jack”.

Not gonna use it then

I almost had the ingredients to try this one out, just substituted apricot liqueur with peachtree. Turned out pretty good, thanks for the recipe!

Oh no Lemmy’s been infected too 😭

Haha nice!

I finally lost it with all the spoon-feeding and the hand-holding during missions, and when daddy rockstar did not like it when I did not play EXACTLY how they wanted me to, standing in the wrong spot - mission failed, try a different strategy - mission failed, jumped directly outside Danbury’s window - guess what - mission failed because Danbury just had a divine vision and destroyed the documents in a second. Fuck this shit.

I’m not necessarily with you on the other points. I guess I’m used to NPCs only spewing generic, canned lines. But this sucks so much. Huge issue imo.

Only Valve has the motivation and means…

I think they have the means but not the motivation. I can think of only 2 reasons why the state of anti-cheat is the way it is:

1. They don’t want to spend money to fix it
2. They don’t want to ban paying customers

and ofc console exclusive…

Ty for the tip! I only did a brief test but it seems to be working well.

I’d love normalization. Hope it works for movies where explosions are 10x louder than the dialogue.

Thanks for the suggestion. I already have an account there and use it from time to time, but I’m considering joining 1 or 2 more trackers if possible, just to have as backup.

Can’t believe it. And so “sudden” - though not really, they did give months of warning in advance, but I still wasn’t expecting it. My account is from October 2008 :)

It’s not a perfect tracker. Even this week I was mildly frustrated with a torrent that wasn’t seeded much, but it was good enough for me not to bother with many accounts anywhere else.

Don’t know where to go on next. Please leave suggestions if you know anybody taking in refugees :)

Yeah I think so too

If you’re considering buying one you might want to take into account that they removed the headphone jack so they can sell their own wireless buds and headphones.

I get what you’re saying. When I was a kid playing some Red Alert or C&C game with a friend we’d be censored when saying “cum?” - which means “how?” in our language. I thought that was stupid as shit. I still do now for the most part. It’s hard to have a conversation when everyday words are censored (and I was too young to know the meaning in english).
A more relatable example: If a group of friends of a particular minority want to play with each other and call each other names (that would be offensive otherwise) that may be in good fun and censoring that would be stupid and ruin the fun.

BUT

If somebody is being harassed and targeted for being black or asian or a girl or whatever, that’s way different. I think we’ve all seen it happen quite often and it sucks and it often goes on for quite a lot - some of these games can last for up to 90 minutes AND they punish you if you leave early! So having to endure all that abuse certainly sucks and that sort of behavior should be punishable so that people don’t become punching bags for others to vent their frustration. In a lot of cases these folks are kids or young adults.

I think companies could deal with that but they choose not to out of convenience (having to implement some sort of moderation could get expensive and to do it properly you need to get some human eyes involved to decide on the matter), and fear that they might lose a paying customer (in case they ban an abusive player for example).
