Tablet
Great for watching videos, reading the newspaper and drawing (with a digital pen).
I actually don't have a laptop anymore, because I found that a tablet could do everything I needed on the go with less bulk, longer lasting battery and no fan noise.
Smartwatch
Tracks my heartrate (had some issues with elevated heart rate before), guilt-trips me into doing more excercise, shows me notifications without having to get my phone out, displays the time with a customizable watch face.
Most commonly by the geographic area one lives in or has ties to. Otherwise, some people like to choose a team that wins a lot or, on the opposite side, an "underdog" team that never wins.
I was thinking of getting it, what’s up with Stalker 2?
It's very buggy and an absolute mess from a technological perspective. The NPC simulation has been restricted to a tiny radius around the player, so you can for example see snipers spawn in when you get close to their towers. Even with that limited distance, the game is very CPU bound and performance takes a huge hit in populated areas. In general the NPC AI is pretty braindead and much worse than previous Stalker games. I've had to reload earlier saves a couple of times due to NPCs randomly getting hostile, the conversation UI staying permanently on screen and other progression stoppers. The graphics completely rely on TAA or DLSS and look like a checkerboarded mess without them. Despite all that though, I think it's a pretty fun game and a remarkable achievement given the circumstances of its development.
Yeah, I currently live in quite a large house (originally a 2-family house with a large garden, but we're only 2 people now) and it's an unbelievable amount of work to keep it all maintained. It definitely has its perks as well, like I can dedicate a room just for my VR setup, but if I had the choice between this and a house half the size, I'd take the latter. I do prefer a house to an apartment though.
It says Sanpincha (Okinawan jasmine tea) but I'm not sure if it's supposed to depict a particular brand.
To me it sounds more like the social media algorithms put you into the "gaming tech" corner so that's all you see. Indie gaming is huge and not at all about graphics. Look at the currently popular games on Steam and a ton of them are technologically very basic.
That's very warm! Don't think I could deal with those kind of temperatures, not to mention I'd probably go bankrupt trying to keep my 1920s house at 26°C. Right now, my main living areas where I spent a lot of time (work room, living room, dining room) are at 19.7°C, other lesser used rooms are at 16.5°C.
Didn't say they should play nice. But a bit of nepotism definitely won't contribute to getting out of fascism. Nor will justifying things based on whether the fascists are doing worse or trying to copy their oppenent's tactics. All that will do is making people lose faith in their movement.
Obviously the bigger immediate problems will be what Trump gets up to in the next few years. But if there's supposed to be a way out of this mess at some point, I think it's also important for the democrats to be a strong opposition. They should provide an antithesis to Trumpist politics by showing honesty, integrity and consistency. Their justification for doing things should never be "but Trump did way worse". Saying one thing and doing another might work out perfectly for Trump, but that doesn't mean it will for the democrats. That may be unfair, but it is how it is. So the real worry is that I don't think acting this way will win them another election, should there even be one.
190cm. Pretty satisfied, useful for finding my way through a crowd of people. Can be a bit difficult to find clothes my size though, especially pants, as I'm also quite slender.
