I've kind of been bouncing off a few things this week. I'm playing through Freedom Planet for the first time and loving it (I've already bought the sequel in preparation), chipping away at Brotato, playing a bit of N++, and doing a few runs in Darkest Dungeon 2. I finished Super Mario Wonder after bouncing off it when it originally came out, and now I'm just trying to cram anything into the hole.
I felt like Links Awakening was a good difficulty to be honest. I enjoyed those old school style puzzles from the GB era.
I don't use Google search or Chrome but I own a Pixel. Life's funny like that.
It was actually unbelievable timing! I saw the memes this morning and thought oh that Kevin guy must be a bigger part of TOS than I expected.
I had no idea they open sourced pocketcasts!
We are overjoyed and proud to announce that the Pocket Casts mobile apps are now open source! We’ve been eager to take this step since we joined Automattic last year — after all, the company’…
IT by Stephen King was read incredibly by Steven Weber.
Stephen King got me into Audiobooks after being a bit hit-and-miss with them but I've been using them when I'm out walking and then read the book when I'm home and have time. It's been a great way to zoom through his back catalogue.
They may have invented them but Japan perfected them.
Japan has ruined toilets for me.
That's okay, I love Twilight Zone so I don't think it'll be too bad.
Why's that and how did watching the movies but not having seen the original series effect them?
How did you find Picard? I haven't heard many good things about it.
Okay cool! I'm definitely going to dive in either way but I wasn't sure if characters like T'Pring or Nurse Chapel become really different or suddenly there's big differences in their personalities etc
Did anybody watch TOS for the first time AFTER Strange New Worlds?
I've been watching the Next Generation for a while but on my dad's recommendation I started SNW and I love it. I'm getting through it really quickly and thought about jumping straight to TOS after.
Is it going to be really jarring or do the two sync quite nicely? Do the characters feel a bit flat after all the exploration they get in SNW?
Yeah, baby. The reviews are actually good for this one. I guess that isn't much of a suprise considering this is a full on Tobin Bell-fest.
Yeah, it's the same account. I can DM you the name of my Hexbear account if it's useful to you.
Yeah I'm not banned and it works with Infinity. Literally just Sync.
Woah, woah, woah. You had me at babbling prostates...
Factory farms are also an aberration and a crime against sentient beings. This just adds a dollop more "cruel and unusual" and it's not saving lives it's torturing and sacrificing one feeling, thinking, and intelligent life so a human can live another 5 years.
Has the Reddit exodus killed the former Lemmy culture?
When I first started using Lemmy it seemed like such a nice place with interesting discussions. It seemed like the first group of people to join after the app exodus were being quite careful to be respectful of the existing culture.
Now, it seems as though the culture from Reddit has completely replaced it. Toxicity and all. I will say I do follow a lot of communities from a wide range of instances so it's clearly not everywhere.
Am I the only one who's feeling like we've just stormed in and bulldozed Lemmy?
What exactly is Jake's motivation for agreeing to save JFK in 11.22.63?
[[No spoilers if possible as I'm reading it currently. I'm up to Jake's time in Derry now.]]
It seems to me that Al basically said "Jake, here's a weird time hole. Do you want to save JFK because insert random musings and Jake just went "Fuck it, why not?"
Like, is it ever adequately explained? Taking a risk that things would be better if they prevented the assassination attempt seems like lunacy.
How do you keep your WearOS device clean?
I've been pretty careful with my Galaxy Watch 5 and make sure to rinse it off once a day and regularly after a swim. I've noticed a white minerallly build up around certain areas. I've tried soaking it in water for 30 minutes and scrubbing with a soft bristle brush but it doesn't make much difference.
Any ideas?
Is it worth sticking with the Dark Tower if I'm not completely into the Gunslinger?
I'm not saying I dislike it but I'm finding it hard to get through and it's incredibly short. I enjoyed the first chapter in Tull and I enjoyed the desert scenes but since then I've been finding it hard to focus on. I like the characters too but it just feels a bit... Boring in places?
Is the entire series like this?
Edit: I've now finished it and I'm reading 11.23.66 but not sure if I should read The Drawing Of The Three after.
Are we going to be federating with Hexbear when they federate net week?
I know we're not federated with lemmygrad but hexbear seems more leftist in general rather than pure tankie/ML. They'll also be the biggest (or second biggest?) instance when they start federating.
What are the general thoughts on it? I personally wouldn't mind and browse hexbear every now and then already so I might be biased. I think there's a fair amount of likeminded people there though.
Is there a specific community for epilepsy and epileptics yet?
My son is epileptic and the Reddit community used to be great for asking questions.
Why do I see different posts depending on which app I use?
I've Installed all the available apps to test out and it seems like everyone shows me a completely different set of posts to the others!
Are there any communities for epilepsy and epileptics yet?
My son is epileptic and I used to find the Reddit community was great for asking questions.
Does anyone have a list of Stephen King books not available on Kindle?
In the UK at least I know of Rage which is self-explanatory and The Eyes Of the Dragon which is a bit strange since it's available in other regions.
Any others?
Does anyone experience panic attacks or extreme anxiety on Loratadine?
I normally have some level of anxiety but I've been having really extreme anxiety and panic attacks over the past few day. The only thing I've taken that I don't usually take is loratadine for allergies. I've seen online that it's meant to have the reverse effect on anxiety but I've also seen maybe one of two other people asking the same thing with no definite answers.
Anybody else get this?
I also haven't taken any today and I haven't had any panic attacks. My anxiety is at base level too.
New to Stephen King but I finished Pet Semetary this morning
Fucking hell man. The book started off kind of slow but once it got going, it was just an incredible ride.
I'm still thinking about the end and probably will be for a while even though I really want to move on to the next book on my list!
