Yeah, I can imagine the locals would tell the younglings “don’t play near the Sarlaac Pit! It’ll eat you for a thousand years!”

Well we know Tatooine orbits a pair of stars somehow and it’s still in the Goldilocks zone just enough to make it semi habitable still. My assumption is that these are white dwarfs or something smallish.
Could this be explained that the local year is much shorter? Add in that Hutt is well versed in his own biology which assuming a he isn’t strangled by a tentacle, could be slowly digested alive for a 1000 Tatooine years? He probably forgets that about his pathetic cute biped pets.
No seriously what is significant about 0F? I live in a place that sees a lot of negative F too.
It’s so arbitrary. If it was 0 at freezing water and 100 at human body temp I’d understand it but no, it’s literally nothing significant in people’s lives. It has no tangible anchor.
It’s purely emotion keeping it around.
The meme faces are backwards on this one.
Break up the mega corps. Enact user privacy-by-default laws. Market dominance via “free product” followed up by bait and switch tactics should be outlawed.
I’m nostalgic for when Team Fortress 2 was good still…
IMO, another good reason to not use Google!
I’ve been running a pair of Sennhesiser PC 350’s for something like 10 years now? Not sure. I used to game a lot more than I do now and eventually the ear cushions started falling apart. I was dreading replacing them though, and ended up getting some replacement cushions from Amazon or something. Was super easy to replace and they’ve been like new for the last year now. I’m a hardwire all of the things type person, and generally a cheapass so yeah, overall happy with this purchase!
I grew up with PB in the cupboard. *Never *had a problem with it. My wife on the other hand, PB goes in the fridge. She swears it tastes bad if it’s not kept in the fridge. Other than taking up more space, I’m not going to argue with the person that is most likely to eat the stuff.
Not to mention, most of these trucks are very standardized in their dimensions and parts already. This is probably the biggest thing that will hurt small vehicles is picking a subset of standardized dimensions that will fit multiple models.
Tried disabling the mail/cal client and see if it still does it in barebones Vivaldi?
I recently had to disable mail on an instance in a Windows machine. As I had a few accounts on it to test functionality a few weeks ago, I had forgotten about it. It was holding at about 60% cpu the last couple of days and I couldn’t figure it out until I searched the forums for this issue. Solved it for me and I’ll be trying other email clients anyway.
It is their prerogative. They (and Arrowhead) fucked up with Helldivers by removing and then retroactively requiring it. By the time I got the game though it was already required for new players again.
If it means we can cross play to their console I’m fine with it (a feature I wanted). For a single player game it’s annoying but as long as it costs nothing I don’t care anymore.
I do feel strongly that we need some consumer protections though - and this extends beyond games alone. Any server shutdown (authentication or gameplay affecting) should have a mandatory removal of the requirement or opening of the server to self host. But I digress…
Holy fuck that last one was literally me in my first interview fresh out of college. Full on panic attack.
I read in a separate article that basically that’s how she got to where she is. A bunch of people that took bribes over the years are also going to jail. This is supposedly the Vietnamese government trying to fight that corruption. !remindme 5years to see how it works out…
The free version of the game still exists! The paid version literally only gets you the new tileset and music but is otherwise the exact same game and still updated! And if the ASCII tileset is a big turn off, people had made free tilesets years ago you could use instead (it was the only way I could play the game myself back in pre-steam days).
I picked up DF to support the devs because as I mentioned in another post here, I played the free game off and on for years. Now it’s practically the only game I play because the steam version just added so many quality of life things.
I’d love to spread some democracy as well, but I’ve gotta invest in some PC upgrades to make that game run. :(
I’ve played DF off and on for years. The UI overhaul it had recently makes the game much easier to play, and get into and really enjoy. The learning curve is way softer. Previously, I’d load the game up once or twice a year, build a fort, get to the point where I’d be wiped out and be like, okay, that was fun and then not play it again for months, or years. With the updated UI… I’ve put in 700 hours since it came out.
It’s still a game where you basically have the wiki on alt-tab, and you still have to google some crap to learn how to do intricate stuff. That said, I also find youtube is much easier to follow along with the new graphics set, so that helps too. TwistedLogic gaming, Blind, and few others have great tutorials on youtube. If you want to watch some fun stories, Kruggsmash and Hoodie Hair put up some fantastic videos as well - and they’ve honestly kind of inspired how I approach playing DF sometimes.
It’s kind of nice to play, and it scratches the same itch for me that Cities: Skylines used to, wherein I can go “one more thing, need to do one more thing, one more thing, ooh a forgotten beast gotta deal with that, then one more thing” BUT if I have to, I can just hit pause and walk away for a bit, or, if my fort is in a good state with no monsters or armies running around, I can walk away with it running while the dorfs just do their thing for a bit.
About 8 months ago I finally started using DFHack, which despite the name is really just a collection of really awesome tools, while it has the potential to make the game very easy (and that’s fine too!) it does include many quality of life things if some process is just too tedious. I’d say it’s upped my enjoyment another notch because it’s just so well implemented. When I feel like easy mode, I turn on things like fastdwarf, and when I’m ready to just challenge myself I can turn it off.
DF is very much a game of play at your own pace. Even without DFHack, if you’re getting overrun by werewolves and goblin armies, just turn the settings for that stuff down or off. But the main thing to remember with this game: Losing is FUN!

Fuck it. I’m inventing a new scale.
Behold! “Disagree Degrees”. We’re going to combine the best traits of the other units. No more searching for the stupid little degree character in the character map. D for degrees or disagrees - whatever, I don’t give a shit.
0D = 0K (Like Kelvin, no negatives! That’s so dumb!) 0.4D = -40 C and -40 F 1D = Water Freezing point (Need a consistent point of scale) 10D = “Pleasant temperature” 100D = Kind of hot 500D = Really hot for people (>40C or >100F) “It’s like 500 disagrees out there!” 1000D= Water boiling (To match the freezing temp) 1,000,000,000,000D = Surface of the sun
Good luck on the math converting to other units, this temperature scale isn’t about being useful for nerd stuff, it’s all about appealing to our emotions.
