Going to try putting my phone in another room before bed. Doomscrolling before bed and just after waking up doesn't seem healthy.

Reminder that each boss bind can only appear once. So if you see, for example, a blind that debuffs a suit in Ante 1, then you know that suit is "safe" going forward.

Maybe this is me just being jaded after Nintendo's fall from grace, but this is the first time I've seen a feature and wondered "why"?

If mouse control is important then just let people connect a bluetooth mouse. They're easy to get ahold of and most people can probably chuck one in their bag if they don't already have one.

Hell, if you feel the need, just make a "Switch Mouse" with a control stick on the side if you need to. No need to have one controller to rule them all.

This enables unique gameplay experiences not usually possible on a standard PC mouse setup, such as the ability to use two mice to play games.

I mean, this isn't illegal or anything. It's just so situational I've only seen it done once (World of Goo for multiplayer). Most people can't effectively use mice with their non-dominant hand anyway.

An example of this is in Drag X Drive, where the player uses a mouse in each hand and moves them forwards or back to mimic moving around in a wheelchair.

Isn't this just motion controls? The same concept could have been done with the Wii and two wiimotes. Only this time you just wear out the rubber pads on your joycon.

The addition of HD Rumble in the controllers also means players can experience force feedback while using a mouse.

... How does this even work given that a mouse is a precision instrument? Surely the rumble would just cause the mouse to shift around or become less accurate. I think there's a reason nobody has tried to put rumble in a mouse.

Overall I can see it being a nice emergency feature for if you need a mouse but don't have one on you. But the fact that they seem to be pitching it as a flagship feature feels odd to me.

Or maybe I'm just being grumpy and this ends up working well.

Then instead of a subscription, you're paying for a gpu and power. Not everyone has the money for a computer, but pretty much anyone can afford a pencil and paper.

Should I play this even though I've not played the first 63 Zeldas?

[–] savvywolf@pawb.social 7 points 3 months ago

This is blatant misinformation.

I suck at Wave Race 64 even though I've played it a lot. ;_;

Gender PHP extension is a port of the gender.c program originally written by Joerg Michael. The main purpose is to find out the gender of firstnames. The current database contains >40000 firstnames from 54 countries.

For anyone curious but not curious enough to go digging around.

I'm not actually sure about that tbh. You'd need a big enough flat comfortable surface and I can't think of anything other than a bed for that. Although I wouldn't be surprised if a lizard society had dedicated "shedding tables" that could be set up when needed.

If your views are to cause harm on others then you forfeit the right to tolerance for those views.

No love for Rambley the Raccoon?

It's an insurance thing: If they willingly and maliciously ignored the danger sign then they are at fault. /s

I mean, I expect he'll get what he wants out of it: the ability to say it's partially genetic and use that as an excuse to roll out mandatory sterilisation to the list he got.
