My favourite shirt is a Nike one that just saying “running” with their tick

Every time I see it in my wardrobe I start laughing. Gives major background character vibes

Never

If anything, it can be annoying when you go to clean something on the screen

I think I just self-reported my age…

I’m sitting in front if a machine worth about 30k I’m supposed to be using to take photos

So yeah that

If you’re interested in a FOSS alternative, try metrolist. You can download songs and it’s a frontend to YouTube music, so you have access to their full catalogue

If you want a way that more directly supports creators, nothing is is better than buying their songs place a place like bandcamp

Probably MtG: Arena

I have a pod I usually play the physical card game with, but sometimes when we can’t get together that week I’ll boot up the online version and play some casual games

I’ve spent ~100 hours in it and I’ve decided I really don’t like it, and all for a single reason: the matchmaking

It is abysmal. I started up the game, made a shitty deck with the free stuff they give you, and go on a 15 game win streak. Over the course of my playtime I’ll be upgrading my deck, when suddenly out if nowhere I’m facing the sweatiest assholes with the most juiced decks that will waste your time if it means a 1% increase in win rate

After a week of this I realise that even the casual format has a deck ranking system - the more powerful cards in it, the harder the opponents you’ll face

Now, I’m all for this, if your deck was given a visual rank so you’d know the opponents you’d face before you spent resources to make it, but being faced with the problem of being unable to upgrade your deck, else you might be put in the same pool as those who’d played the game all their lives, is somewhat demotivating

Of course, going on 15 game win streaks where the opponent barely does anything isn’t fun either

Honestly the convenience steam offers in having all my games in one spot, able to run with no real effort on my part is why I use it. If GOG offers a similar reliability, I’ll quickly be using them a lot more

I’ve been playing through the spyro remakes. I’m half way through the first game and honestly it’s fun just running around collecting things, but man the platforming is excruciating at times. It can feel really shitty when the only way to see if you can reach a platform is to die trying

I got an email like two weeks ago that there had been an increase on car break-ins recently

Then when it came time to re-sign they decided to increase rent

This is such a weird comment, because it seemingly tries to hold the moral high ground while belittling the other person, despite just saying “nuh uh” to papers and points brought up

I come here to get away from big news, I have blocked so many things, and yet the big news always finds me

I’ve been forced to use windows for some propriety software during uni. I got a laptop from IT with higher specs than my old one and:

1. It runs worse than my old shitty laptop
2. It boots up slower than my old shitty laptop
3. The battery icon was missing from the taskbar for some ungodly reason (I had to get IT to force an update)
4. The internet it gets is way worse than my old shitty laptop. I do not know why

So yeah I’m not using Windows 11 ever again

The bigger problem here is that the paper is stating an (as of currently) unsupported hypothesis as a definitive fact

You do not know fear until they walk in like this

Love how Tasmania didn’t move lol

What was a Hawaiian monk doing in Western Australia???

Holy fuck. Can I get a source? Because damn man, if that’s real then I’m about to look at the UN a little differently

Nooo I can’t believe he was actually a Korean twink

I’m reading through these and oof lol. It’s hard to agree with the guy now, even given how bad tankies can be, considering their transphobic remarks

Fair. I’m reading a lot of papers for uni rn, guess I need to be a bit more thorough lol

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought carcinoma was the skin cancer easily cut out. Melanoma is inherently predispositioned to being metastatic, hence why it accounts for 75%of all skin cancer related deaths
