When a car crashes, there’s usually a magnitude less people impacted then when a plane crashes. But you know what? Air travel is still much, much safer than car travel. Large but infrequent incidents can be much less dangerous than smaller but more common incidents in the aggregate.

Accurate, but be careful because once you go 2+ hours outside of Portland, OR you will likely find yourself once again among cognitively challenged folks…

I agree with everything you’ve said and reading this comment filled me with joy, but I’m still hungry…

I hate to burst your bubble, but Meta bought Oculus in 2014 and the Rift S didn’t come out until 2019, so you already have a Meta product. I understand if it’s more of a branding concern, and I love my Rift S as well, but it’s still a Meta headset.

Many people can be selfless and wonderful, true, but the people who are selfish and cruel often work hard to be in positions of power and authority regardless of the system.

I very much enjoyed this game! It’s not long, but great for a weekend adventure.

Thank you, I was hoping someone would like this!

Sweet, I guess after April 16th I’ll see if my friends want to go back to the yard! New Game+ sounds pretty cool.

Getting to experience improved mental health thanks to having a private quiet place you can think and relax? What a weirdo… (That sounds amazing, I’ll take two!)

For sure, Ross’ Game Dungeon is amazing and one of my favorite things to watch!

Ross Scott posts his content on Accursed Farms for anyone interested!

Merry solstice!

I respectfully disagree - it’s very easy to contract comment threads you have no interest in (at least on my client if I long-press a comment, it hides the comment and all responses), but I sometimes enjoy reading through an actual discussion two or three people have in a comment chain. They may be few and far between, but that’s the nature of an open forum.

Look at me - I’m the farmer Maggot now!

Discord is great for tracking specific projects being run by small groups. For example, I use it to track the status of a Radical Heights fan remake, and also to get updates when a specific user creates 4-bit quantization of LLMs and to read chats of ways they are being implemented.

There may not be as much of a user spike, but I would think there will be a content spike. How much Reddit content is posted using 3rd party apps, and how many of those content creators are going to swap to the official app vs utilizing alternatives such as Lemmy for future postings?

Mitigate inflation or protect banks from melting down from bond valuations… Looks like we’ll be living with inflation a bit longer.

For me, it’s not always frequent but over time I always end up replaying Earthbound (Also called Mother 2) every year or so. I’ve played it on various SNES emulators for PC, switch, DS, and once on a dedicated tablet with a gamepad.

With the setting of a 1990s America/world, it just feels good to load up with a baseball bat and bash some baddies. I love that enemies are seen before you are forced to fight them so you have the opportunity to avoid fights if you want, and the rolling HP gage is a nice twist on turn-based combat.

The humor is silly but doesn’t detract from the narrative, and the world is filled with interesting NPCs to discover and talk to. The game does show its age with some mechanics, and mid-game it can get a little confusing to know where to go, but you can always go buy a hint from the hint guy or stay at a hotel and read the morning paper for clues.

Sometimes I just play the soundtrack while I work, which is great because they nailed most the music. My only complaint is that you lose the ability to enjoy the bicycle tune shortly after you unlock it.

It always comes down to the money. Reddit uses aren’t the customers, they’re the product!

Is that hyperbole or are there actual blackout stats somewhere?

I imagine there will be many duplicates of several subs over the next while. That means Highlander rules will eventually go into effect!
