What does “focuses on DEI” even mean? That it has non-white people?
Some stories don’t have straight, white people. That doesn’t mean there’s some agenda going on.

Wait, so the monitor has some sort of network capability?
I assume it’s full of streaming apps or something and they just also added this fun ad junk to it.

Besides the actual quality of the game, it seems like (stupid) people are complaining about DEI in this game? Why?
People are the worst.

If the 100 hours is all good content, then great!
But if a lot of that is padding, then not great.
I think I hit hour 37 or so of Metaphor today - I've been absolutely devouring it this week. And none of those hours have felt bad. I fully expect to get up towards 100 hours in this game (since I have 120 hours in Persona 5 Royal), but I also am pretty confident there's not going to be much bullshit along the way. And I'm down for that.

Best chill weather: FFXIV
Turn off the music and sit in a zone listening to the rain and thunder while talking to friends. A+.
This game has excellent ambient sounds. I turn the music off often and just listen. Sometimes it's fun to just wander or find a little nook to craft in nature.

I appreciate that.
I mean, I'm not offended or anything. But I just don't have any NEED to see that stuff when I'm just checking to see what people are talking about.

And that, to me, is fine. People can be furries or like furries. I'm OK with that.
On Bluesky, however, there is/was a ton of furry content being posted, and not just drawings or simple photos. I sadly know what a furry, wolf penis looks like by just scrolling through the app. So the moderation lists are great.

I honestly don't see a lot of furry stuff here in my feed or server. Or even in All when I browse that from time to time.

Hopefully this link shared correctly, but I found that furries are all over the place there. And while I don’t care that they want to be furries, I don’t really want to see it all over.
Anyway, this moderation list has helped a lot in filtering out a lot of that type of post and has made my experience a lot better.
It’s a scary looking link, but I promise I just hit the share button from the app. This list is called “Ultimate Furry Mute”

Edit: and then this one is the same idea, just a different moderation list

I bought my car at the end of 2018, and I get flyers in the mail maybe twice a month from the dealership trying to get me to "upgrade." Since I work from home I barely put miles on it.
I'm fortunate in that I have paid it off, and the flyer is like, "We see you have paid off your car loan, we can get you into a new car for $300/m!" Yeah no. That's not the deal they think it is.

When cars that should cost $20-30,000 now cost $40-60,000, that'll happen.

I know in some cities Walgreens and CVS are maybe not terrible stores because they are close and you can walk there and pick up maybe a few groceries on the way back from work.
But in a more sprawling city where you have to drive everywhere, I've never once opted to buy anything from Walgreens over another store simply because the prices there are outrageous. I only go to my closest Walgreens for vaccinations.
Plus the stores (both Walgreens and CVS) often are kinda messy as hell. And I don't even blame the workers that much. It seems like at any given time there's MAYBE one to two people working there outside of the pharmacy.
It's basically a high priced Dollar Store.
This is largely a silly post, but I'm curious if anyone has any fun conspiracy theories. Like why does Tataru need that knife on her belt? Is it because she's got some NEFARIOUS dealings going on to get all that money? More so, I just wanted to see if anyone else believes that the Random Mount button isn't fully "random." I swear I see the same handful of mounts summoned more than others. If I see the Manacutter or Yol summoned ONE MORE TIME, I swear...
It’s now been about a month (somehow) since Dawntrail launched, so I assume most of us have finished the MSQ, and I’m curious about your thoughts! For me, I actually really enjoyed _not_ being the center of attention the whole time. It was a nice palette cleanser from the last ten years. It was fun to tag along see this whole new continent. Of course, things do end up getting more serious than that, and I was impressed they were able to get me to care about all these new people so quickly. The new dungeons and group content all felt good. I liked that none of it seemed to be pushovers, and myself and my friends died several times figuring out the various boss battles — which is a good thing! I just finished the story last night so I’m now at the point where there are some new quests which I assume will open up some new content. So I have no opinion there yet. But what about you all?
I’m about halfway through the story at this point, but I’ve really been enjoying these new starting zones. Something that I never really did with the previous expansions is try and do a lot of side quests as I go. It’s been fun to learn more about these new characters and their cultures.
Inject it into my veins.

NOOOO MY DARLING BOY > Four years removed from being a first-round draft pick, Aleksej Pokuševski's tenure with the Oklahoma City Thunder has come to an end. > The Thunder announced on Friday they have waived the 22-year-old forward. > Pokuševski was originally selected with the 17th overall pick in the 2020 draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves, who traded his rights to Oklahoma City in a three-team deal that also involved the New York Knicks. He was the youngest player in that draft class The trade has turned out to be very notable for all three teams involved. Minnesota acquired the draft rights to Jaden McDaniels, while the Knicks got the rights to Immanuel Quickley.
I just started using this app today after wading through bug after bug with Voyager. Like many, Apollo was my go-to app for years and years, so it’s natural to gravitate to the one that looks exactly like it. However, I consume this type of content mostly on my iPad, and often I’m using Stage Manager with an external KB and trackpad. Voyager in this mode barely works, so I’m just making a post here to say thanks for making this app feel great in this mode. 😎
This came up in my YouTube recommendations, and it’s pretty fun to watch as a Thunder fan.
I really try to not complain about the refs, but that was one of the worst calls of all time.
I was at the game tonight, and based off of the fact that Chet got more points and he’s on our team and I’m biased, I officially declare Chet the better player. This long boi rivalry has officially begun. (Realtalk: it was very fun to watch both of them play. This is going to be a good season.)
So I have a weird one for you guys, and I’d like to see if anyone has ever come up across this one. This is a **Messages** bug, and as far as I can tell it’s only on iPad since I’ve never seen this on my phone that has the same chats in it. Basically it goes like this: I have a group chat with a few friends, and on iPad every so often when I open Messages and it’s on that chat (since that was the last place I left off) it’ll show me not the current state of the chat, but three messages (and only those three messages) from somewhere back in 2022. I can only scroll up and down as far as those three messages will allow. It’s as if those are the only messages available to me. _However_, if I tap the group chat again in the list, it goes back to normal. Loads everything and is fine. I’ve never seen this happen on my phone, just my iPad. I was hoping the new update would fix it, but alas. Has anyone ever run into this? I’m about to just tell them we need a new group chat.
This might be kind of a weird post, but I want to see if anyone experiences the same thing as I do. First of all, I think the Foundation opening credits are awesome. Maybe some of my favorites ever, really. Really visually stunning and the score is excellent. But it’s the mix of the score that I want to talk about. Does anyone else feel like the opening music is…”flat?” At no point in this epic audio does my sub kick in to fill out the brass or percussion. When the final logo slams onto the screen, there is technically a big hit in the score, but, just, nothing from the low end of the spectrum. I feel like I should feel that hit in my bones, and there’s nothing. The show itself sounds great. Full sound stage; the ships rumble my room and explosions or gunfire are punchy. But, yeah, just curious if anyone else has ever thought about this. It just makes me sad because the credits are SO COOL only to feel like the music is kept in this narrow band of sound.
So in my quest to finish all the main Final Fantasy games, I’m down to FF3, FF5, and FF11. This week I’ve been playing the trial some to get my bearings, and while I’ve installed a few quality of life mods, I have maybe a couple of questions. The first is that I was watching this video, and in it they mention a mod to allow the game to utilize more ram. A 4GB patch by someone named Thorny. For the life of me I can’t seem to find it. Does anyone out there know of a place it still exists? https://youtu.be/xD4aCHdYcSk Also, what are some of you guys’ favorites? I’m using Windower and have an alright set up now with some of, what I assume, are the staples (the map one, the one that makes you party window like FF14). But I’d like to know what the community thinks are pretty essential. Thanks! EDIT: Oof, I didn’t realize that the link that was mentioned in the video included the 4GB patch! I now have it all fixed up.
- Chet is back and healthy, looking good in summer league. - Wallace looks like he’ll be a good addition. - We were one bad game away from the playoffs last year So…is this the year we start really trying? Not saying were weren’t trying before, but you know what I mean. If not, what other pieces do we actually need? We can’t just keep waiting on new draft picks and waiting on them to get their NBA legs year after year.
This could simply be the link to the official schedule, but it might be nice to have that listed for easy clickin’: https://www.nba.com/thunder/schedule
While browsing posts, it may be nice to have either a different background color or some sort of identifier on your own comments to easily pick them out of the crowd as you scroll.
I recently was thinking about how long I've been playing the game, and I'm curious about you lot. I haven't done an official /playtime in a while, but this year being the 10th anniversary of A Realm Reborn, I recall my days and nights early in 2013 playing the beta tests on my PS3. At the time, I was living with a friend of mine, and we had two TVs in the living room going as we got our temporary characters up to level 20 over a weekend only for those characters to be wiped out. But it was fun running through that early game, learning the systems, getting reminded why leaving WoW was a good idea (not a single person asked about my DPS! ...in maybe my whole time in this game, actually.). So after ten years of playing my favorite little Lala, I look forward to seeing where this story goes from here. How about you all? What's your story?
I had some wrist issues a couple of years ago and that pushed me to go to the split keyboard route. I really love this keyboard. I’m someone who actually quite likes the low profile, laptop style keys, so I didn’t know if I’d enjoy this set up. But I quickly grew to love it. Bright lights and flashing stuff isn’t really my thing, so I’m really glad I was able to find these keycaps that’s just look nice and clean. Underneath are the most silent cherry reds I could find (I’m also not a big fan out loud keyboards. Blasphemy, I know! 😃). And for my biggest nerd cred: I’m so glad I can save my precious Dvorak layout straight to the keyboard. No longer have to deal with Windows’ layout switching.
