Everyone here saying how awful this sounds, and I'm just sitting here excited to try a new food. I ate mealworms before and they were pretty good, so why not?

It's certainly not what I'm used to but it's definitely less weird than some common foods we typically eat like cheese (which I fucking love, but if you think about it its weird as shit!)

Exact same thing happens to me. It's not necessarily nightmares, but really intense dreams. So intense that I wake up feeling tired.

Seems that he sticks around for 7-8 years everywhere he goes.

If that holds up, we can expect 1 (maybe even 2) more big jobs from him!

There are quite a few games which were developed primarily with kb+m in mind, but also have some controller support. So you might hit a menu or gameplay section that really requires typing or something.

On steam deck this works pretty well with the pop-up keyboard, but a physical keyboard is always a bit nicer

It's basically standard (at least everywhere I've lived) in Europe

Ah yeah I see!

I was just thinking of trying to do it without erasing anyone's game or making them start over.

Doesn't the original only have a single save slot?

So you'd need at least a third copy for both of you to get all three.

Or, arguably even more importantly, conservatives argue that this is actually about 'mental health issues' but then subsequently refuse to do anything to improve mental health. So they don't even bother trying their own proposed solution.

You would think at this point that the US would have the most robust mental-healthcare system on the planet!

It's still pretty sad that the max I see in that table is 12 weeks, and even that is only in a few states.

It's certainly better than nothing, but even the most generous US states are pretty barbaric compared to most European countries (at least the ones I'm familiar with)

Oder noch besser: Eurkey!

I Moved from Germany to the UK a little over a year ago.

The UK (at least London) is soooooooo much worse as far as renting goes. I rented a few places in Germany in a couple different cities and every place had some annoyances, but I just wasn't prepared for what a free-for-all shitshow it is in the UK.

Literally hundreds of people coming to viewings for a single place. Landlords can basically raise rents whenever they feel like it and force you out. The places are generally absolutely terrible quality with very little incentive to improve things. I had places trying to force 3+ year contracts with no break clause. I've never experienced so many colleagues constantly having issues with "the landlord raising rents by 30% and when we refused or tried to negotiate we got forced out". Then you have to scramble to find a place in a month.

They price everything based on number of bedrooms rather than size, so landlords are incentivized to subdivide flats into multiple units and minimise space. A 4-bed flat-share with no living room? Fairly standard, even for working professionals.

Plus, after you pay the extortionate rents the TENANT pays the taxes (council tax).

I encountered issues in Germany with renting (particularly when I first moved there) but the German situation would be a HUGE improvement for most of the UK
