Then boneless shouldn't be allowed to be on the packaging. Largely de-boned. 99% bone-free. Those would be acceptable.

But boneless implies you scan the items and reject any and all pieces that would still have a bone in them.

I hate this.

Official EXP and drop rates were unbearable. Even reaching job 2 was an accomplishment lol.

PvP... Never really managed to get into it. It took a specific build and a LOT of rare equipment to even get your foot into the door. Thara Frog Card and Marc Card and whatnot. Without those "basics" which were actually really hard to find, you'd die super fast.

Plus consumables... To do a single WoE you'd possibly burn through hundreds of potions.

It took INVESTMENT.

Hahaha. I played for years. Was a GM on a few servers. Wrote a few quests.

Despite that, my highest level character ever was a Lv 84 Gypsy. On a rate 4 or 10 or something similar server.

.... I was never good at this game lol.

Hah. Relapsing into private servers every couple of years. Sounds like me a decade, a decade and a half ago. Haven't played an MMO in forever though.

What. This looks like a Ragnarok 1 remaster. Can nostalgia really take them that far?

It's not art if it's made with AI, but idk this is just a meme

[–] Eiri@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

Idk how i feel about art that's basically an ad for a medication but it's cute

I'll be honest I personally assumed ducks only ate fish.

I wish we had numbers. People will SAY that and then buy on Amazon anyway

I really don't think this kind of maneuver from payment processors should be allowed at all.

Or maybe there should simply be a more diverse array of payment processors?

[–] Eiri@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 days ago

The solution is: we fucking can't and it's silly to think it's remotely possible.

If people had to leave their home to pay for a Steam purchase, they'd buy a lot less. But considering how many unplayed games I have, it's not like that would be such a bad thing... Lol

 

Crap steel?! What an opportunity. I just must give them all my bank details.

 

One thing I liked (and sometimes disliked) about Reddit was that my feed was a mix of posts in communities I'd joined and a few suggestions of posts from subs The Algorithm™ thought I might like.

On Lemmy I'm realizing I'm starting to fall into a bit of an echo chamber situation because I basically only see stuff I'm already a member of, unless I explicitly go to All or scroll the list of communities.

Are there less involved (lazy) ways of discovering new stuff and broadening my horizons a bit?

 

Sometimes, when I'm really cold, it can take over an hour to warm me up, even with a heating blanket. The quickest solution, a hot shower, feels really inefficient with all the heat going down the drain.

That got me thinking about microwaves. They heat food (partly) from the inside, contrary to simple infrared radiation.

Could we safely do that with people?

I found a Reddit thread where a non-lethal weapon and people getting eye damage because they stayed too long in front of a radar dish.

Could some sort of device be made that would warm specific areas (say, a hand or a leg) without endangering sensitive areas like the eyes?

Would it actually warm someone up from the inside? Would it be possible to make it safe?

Would it present advantages in cases of hypothermia, compared to heated IV fluids?

 

I don't see how it's a benefit to capitalism or companies or, well, anyone, really, to allow people to make thousands of trades a day for minute profits on each.

My gut feeling is that the stock market would not suffer, and less resources would be wasted, if trades and updates to stock prices were limited to, say, one batch per hour.

There are probably reasons the system is the way it is though.
