Nah it’s actually decent.

Then again I didn’t get the cowboy bebop hate either. It was okay? Like not OMFG THIS IS THE GREATEST SHOW OF ALL TIME, but it wasn’t as shit as people claim it was. I fairly enjoyed the show, even after rewatching the anime right before.

One Piece actually captures the flow and the mood of the anime. It is over the top, like the anime, but realistically toned down so it doesn’t seem like it’s trying too hard. The pace is good and the changes to the story seem coherent to adapting as an live action and for people who have heard of One Piece but never really got into it. The dialogues aren’t literate master pieces but they really do not need to be. The special effects sometimes look a bit weird but they didn’t bother me too much.

30, german, yes I can, no I do not. I drive a hybrid, so no manual transmission.

• Speed Cubing
• Aggressive Inline Skating
• Magic The Gathering
• Misc. Video Games
• Self Hosting
• Historical European Martial Arts (Swordfighting with a Longsword especially)

Those are the ones for me. Yeah turned 30 this year as well. No Autism (probably) but have ADHD.

Programming is my job, so I don’t define that as a hobby 😅

I personally love the feel of the MoYu RS3M MagLev. And I think it was like 15 bucks.

And don’t be afraid to go to chinese distributors like ziicube.com Saves a lot of money by going directly to the source and buying in bulk if you can, to alleviate shipping cost.

Game itself is a ton of fun. If you and your friends just want to learn the game you can just print out the cards, no problem. Or if you want real^TM cards you can get a starter kit with 2*60 card decks for about 10-15$ from your local game store. (Or amazon if you are in a remote area with no Game Stores.) They are not the best decks, but they are balanced to each other and the cards are simple enough for new players to navigate.

Better Magic Cards do mostly 2 or 3 things at once and can combo with others or are just great by themselves. Not that worse Magic Cards can’t combo or anything, they just need more setup or can be a bit niche in their usefulness.

There’s some things called software architecture, requirement engineering and software design. More dev teams should try this.

I think those jokes weren’t MEANT to be.

But since I also struggle sometimes with my dad jokes, here’s an upvote.

People referred to diogenes as a dog as a form of insult, but diogenes was like “YOU KNOW WHAT FUCKERS? THAT SHOE FUCKING FITS.” and then he called himself “Diogenes the dog”.

As you could maybe tell I may have paraphrased a bit. But who knows, I don’t speak old greek. I had latin in school.

So much this.
I’d rather give the 20$ to my fav instances, than to an optional app.

20$ can be a lot in different countries. 20$ gave me a up to a week of food when I was studying.

But that’s PS5 VR exclusive, OP said he had a Quest 2 and I believe the VR Patches for PC are still quite janky.

Skyrim can almost be modded like Skyrim SE, so that’s a huge plus. There are also VR specific mods that give you a more natural VR feel, like HIGGS (Haptic Overhaul), VRIK (giving you a body) and PLANCK (gives you the ability to interact more freely and directly with your environment) This definitely gives Skyrim the VR feel that it needs.

Having something like VR Weapon Throw also gives you a lot more options to play the game, adding thrown weapons and semi-medieval firearms. They don’t make a lot of sense canonically, but the added gameplay value is tremendous.

Another Idea is to add a couple of “Survival Mode” mods, to make it truly immersive. Speaking of Immersion, you definitely should install as much graphical overhauls as your PC can handle, especially for NPCs and Items. You can handle muddy textures in the forest, but it’s not pleasant to speak to a muddy textured face. Or looking at a sword that’s just a blob of grey and shiny.

Oh nonono, I bought the Citroen C4 used as well. The Toyota lasted 4 years. It was a while after I was able to purchase my second car, which broke down in a year.

Isn’t that Jayce from Magic The Gathering?

My first car was a 1994 Toyota Starlet. After 20 years it still ran perfectly. I was clueless about cars then as well, never did an oil change and probably never changed the tires as well. It cost 250 bucks at the time. I drove that small hero for 4 years, before I had to sell it, because of financial reasons.
It still drove perfectly then as well.

My second car was a Citroen C4 from 2004. Broke down in a year, and even in that year it was 2 months in the workshop. We did some few things ourselves, because a friend of mine is a hobby car mechanic. Some things in that car were just straight up weirdly placed or so fricking annoying to deal with.

The Auris 2014 is now my third car. Never had any problem until now. Always go to the yearly checkups, nothing found at all. This is the first time I got my car professional car washes in those big automated wash streets. I love that special snowflake (it’s pearlescent white, so my wife calls it snowflake 😄)

The same can be said about GOG and Bandcamp items. Most of them are easier to find than physical media, too. Thanks to the Internet Archive!

Digital Media is just another form of Media. It’s a lot easier to copy, too. That’s why the publisher’s thought it necessary to implement DRM, just in the worst way possible. In fact they tried to copy-protect books! Here is a stack question and great answer about this.

“Always Online” form of DRM is the most stupid thing anyone could ever do to a single-player.
Ubisoft and EA Games come to mind.

If the publisher ceases to exist and you lost the CD/DVD you don’t own that media as well. Since you lost it. So the point you are trying to make in regards to GOG and Bandcamp is invalid. Those explicitly state that whatever you buy there is yours to own and keep.

GOG only has the convenience that you COULD get it back, if you lost it.

Anyway back to topic: This is the reason why I buy the media from digital distributors, download the media, crack the encryption, which I am allowed to do, because European Laws and this is my own bought copy of this media. I self-host it on a physical server I have access to and give no public access to it. I bought this thing to own, not to own the right of consumption.

I got a Toyota Auris 2 Hybrid (The smaller Prius 2, lol) I absolutely LOVE having all the buttons I have to use daily as physical knobs and buttons, like radio volume, air con and music source selection. Everything else, like dashboard settings, navigation or phone menu, which you shouldn’t use while driving anyway, are accessible through the touch screen and can be further navigated with the physical buttons. It’s not to distracting and can be somewhat used while driving without distracting you.

Same.

I feel like the people here are way more open for discourse, which makes it a lot less scary to voice your thoughts.

Still haven’t posted anything though, I’m not a conversation starter, but rather a participant. XD
