When I was a child, I once tore apart my room looking for my game boy colour, which was in my hand the whole time.

Yeah, I had undiagnosed ADHD.

One of my favourite things about godot is that the godot editor is itself a godot project made with godot (using c++).

Absolutely nightmarish.

My mum’s an academic so she’s been using computers all her life, she’s not exactly “techy” but I am eternally grateful I was able to get her set up with bitwarden as a password manager.

I know on my Samsung at the top of the apps list in settings there’s a “choose default apps” option, but I’m unsure if that’s one of their changes or not. I’m pretty sure the functionality is in base Android.

I also used to hit the component bottle neck until pretty recently. Unless you want to figure it out yourself:

I went from struggling to get components outside of traders to having full teams in power armour pretty much instantly. Now my problem is that I accumulate wealth too fast and end up fighting off huge raids.

Yeah, but mod devs are people with lives doing this for free, so I’m not going to fault any of them for inevitably not being able to update stuff in time.

At least they’re adding native search and vein mining functions so those QoL features are taken care of!

Fuck.

I just got all my mods in order again after not having played in a long while.

Now this is on the horizon.

There should be a word for this intense mix of excitement and dread I feel over this. Can’t wait to have to do it again.

Though not every fail state is going to show up. If you start seeing weird intermittent behaviour from a drive, for goodness sake find a way to back it up immediately.

My mum’s new nuc started having some issues, SMART showed perfect drive health. After trying a few things to diagnose, I rebooted to run memtest and check for bad ram, and that was the last time it ever booted into windows. Controller or something on the nvme ssd died. Far too expensive to try and repair for data recovery. Thankfully had a… Somewhat recent backup. Not as recent as we would have liked.

Swipe typing used to be so good for me, but now I have to correct every third word, it feels like. And it keeps correcting to just the most random ass words. Why the hell would it correct “probably” to “pusillanimous”? I’ve tried multiple modern keyboards and they’re all like this, I should download an old apk…

Hot damn, I thought it looked like a bunch of middle aged people doing enthusiastic but slightly off cosplay, but that’s way more accurate.

Too much box! Not enough X.

Finally, it’ll be shaped like an X!

Ever since I was a child, I’ve loved stale rice crackers. Specifically, the stage of staleness where they’re no longer super crunchy and have started going slightly rubbery (if they go past that, it’s no longer good). Something about the texture/mouthfeel is great to me. I used to leave my rice crackers to age before eating them. I don’t do it as much anymore because I still like them well enough crunchy and I don’t have the patience for it.

Other than that, I do enjoy putting a salted cracker in a sweet sandwich (jam, nutella, lemon curd, etc) to add some nice crunch. Works just as well with savoury sandwiches, but I think that’s less weird.

Honestly I kind of like that lemmy has less content at the moment. When I’ve seen everything I’m interested in I close it and do something else, rather than doing nothing but scroll.

Though I do miss the long format text stuff a bit.

The redesign was garbage ux from the start and they ignored absolutely all feedback for years. It was fundamentally flawed from the very beginning and they buried their heads in the sand because they knew most people would still use it.

Most people seemed to use the official app anyway, which is even worse, so I don’t see many people changing over this. I was one of the people who said when old Reddit was gone so was I, I just didn’t expect them to do something worse before that time came.

Holy hell, that’s cheap. I’ll have to look into grabbing one to play around with.

I’ve said it for years on Reddit and I will continue saying it here on lemmy. I miss Pebble.

I use a galaxy watch 4 now but while it can do some more thing it still doesn’t fully match the functionality of my pebble time. So many stupid software limitations that shouldn’t exist.

If the battery hadn’t degraded I’d still be using it.

I’ve looked at fossil multiple times and they’ve never matched the functionality I need. No current watches really do.

I’ve warned basically everyone to temper their expectations with palword cause I played their previous game which absolutely is just a janky ass asset flip, but palworld is actually slightly more competent and has been a bit enjoyable. Despite the crap with the differences between steam and game pass versions, I mean.

The discourse around the game has been baffling. First of all, anyone bringing up AI… Like… What? I’m not sure what they think current AI models do. And even the criticisms I agree with - some of the designs are straight up just the bottom half of one pokemon with the top half of another - are absolutely demented. I saw a long thread talking about certain pals and what pokemon they were ripping off and a good portion of them were wrong (it was ripping off a totally different pokemon) or not knowing about the base (usually Japanese) thing that both designs were based off of. Some people have just gone absolutely fucking rabid. I don’t understand how they live like this.

Fucks up what I expect the arrow keys to do in Excel is what.

Yeah, I’m not even particularly into hololive besides very occasionally watching some highlight videos. The game is amazing. And free. I played the absolute hell out of it after giving it a shot, just like I did with vampire survivors.
