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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I started a new playthrough when phantom liberty released and I feel like I’ve had more game-breaking bugs than I did at launch. The ones I had at launch were mostly cosmetic, animation bugs, t-posing, Jackie eating his noodles with chopsticks that left a clone of themselves in the box, etc. This time I had to reload saves because, for example, Jackie just didn’t get in my car at the start and so it never unlocked the controls so I was just stuck in a car forever.

That being said, the gameplay systems are massively improved, even if it still can be a bit buggy, and it’s well worth a play. I just need to wait for mods to update for 2.1.

I got some nice keycaps when I was building my first mechanical keyboard. Aside from that… Soldering gear, 3D printer parts… Cat toys, preflashed smart bulbs (so I can use them completely locally with home assistant), magnets… And generally any time I see something on Amazon that clearly is just rebranded Chinese stuff, and I don’t need it quickly, I can find it on there for a fraction of the price.

Yeah, I use their OBS version since I had a few issues with OBS and the normal one. My cat likes to sleep on my computer and I needed another camera to point at her when streaming… And then I realised I didn’t need to buy one because I had old phones with good cameras in my desk drawer. Just got a cheap mount to hold my old xiaomi mi 9 SE. Looks fantastic, works well.

Not a lie, have a good relationship with my mum. Still holds true when she had some in Amsterdam again recently. 😅

Was far more than just sleepy. She’d zonk out immediately.

Never used it myself, but my mother has told me when she was much younger she tried pot a few times and stopped because it just put her to sleep, and this was well before the strong strains we have today.

I backed it on kickstarter, and played it again recently. It’s pretty good now!

I mean, it was way better than what you describe for a LONG time, but it’s gone through so many updates now that it’s far better than it was even on launch.

Absolutely adored robocop and cobalt core. Definitely picking up both of them. Robocop nailed everything that made the movie great, cobalt core oozed charm and had fun gameplay.

I had meant to try the thaumaturge but by the time I got around to it, next fest was over and I couldn’t play the demo anymore. These time limited demos are a really stupid idea. I’m way less likely to buy it now because those sorts of games are hit or miss for me.

You’re right, we should let these vile scammers prey on vulnerable people when they’re at their most hopeless. They don’t deserve their money! They won’t have any use for it!

Yeah, but I use YouTube a hell of a lot more, and also I don’t pay in USD.
