I’ve heard some of these critiques of the game before. It surprises me how many people are bothered by the clock ticking down when there’s no consequences to going at your own pace. That’s what I find relaxing. I can just sit down, and explore, play, figure things out, etc. The fact that things aren’t obvious and not spoon fed to you is enjoyable to me. There’s not other people running around frantically. Didn’t catch an NPC today? I’ll catch them tomorrow. It’s relaxing in its simplicity.

I think people don’t find the game relaxing when they put their own restrictions and goals in place (Got to get this person to X number of hearts by such and such a date, etc).

Other than a set of encyclopedias, a good book is Pocket Ref by Thomas J Glover. It has all sorts of useful information (conversion charts, formulas, reference tables, etc.) You can also look at Desk Ref

Another are any of the Ugly’s electrical reference books. Handy to keep with you if you do any electrical work or need to quickly reference some information. The Pocket Ref has pretty much the same stuff but Ugly’s is more focused and less broad.

And of course a dictionary and thesaurus are good to have too.

I prefer their mushroom and swiss with grilled onions.

I’m in the same boat. Been using Linux on a laptop for decades. But have always used Windows for gaming on my gaming desktop. I’m due for a rebuild and had a Linux build planned out that I was going to buy parts for during the holidays when they were expected to be on sale… Then RAM shot through the roof. A few months back the retail price of the parts (minus accessories and a case) was at a little above $1700 now it’s almost at $2100 due to the RAM pricing.

They probably get around this from some clause in the terms and conditions… Yep… Terms and conditions for a fridge.

I have used cold water, followed by an alum block, then cold water again after I let the alum sit on my skin. Then I just apply unscented noncomedogenuc lotion. I usually use Neutrogena ultra gentle daily facial moisturizer.

I think that’s actually what dentists recommend (brushing before eating not wiping before you shit). I can’t remember the details fully but I thought it had something to do with particles of food getting pushed into spots it shouldn’t if you brush right after. Toothpaste is meant to protect your teeth, so brushing after eating probably more like waxing a dirty car than wiping before you shit.

One might even say that a firearm becomes more dangerous in a less knowledgeable person’s hands.

As someone who has GM’d for PF2E for several years I second this. I see no reason they would not be able to be used together.

Keep in mind that Tentacular Limbs does have the morph trait so it cannot be stacked with another morph ability/spell applied to the same limb. Also, because the spell has the manipulate trait, you could draw a reaction (attack of opportunity).

I have a coworker that still has an old party line for their landline at the farm and if he wasn’t given a company phone he probably wouldn’t have one.

I’m not one hundred percent sure, but the email I got from Epic says they’re refunding the legendary upgrade and that Redstone shards are only good until November 1st. I don’t actually play the game, but I got the email because I got the legendary upgrade when it was a freebie.

There’s also an upgrade that isn’t free that’s being removed. Granted the upgrade was one of their freebie offers relatively recent.

There’s ads over the PA? I have never heard any. It might be because I’m typically in-and-out and focused on just getting what I need or maybe I’ve just been tuning them out. I’ll have to listen more carefully next time I’m at Target and Walmart.

I had a Fold4 and now have an s25 Ultra and had none of those issues with Firefox either. Works just fine for me and I even have some extensions I’ve put on that aren’t technically supposed to work in the mobile browser so I was fully expecting some jank. But still works fine.

I had a folding phone (Fold4). Once a video was playing the fold wasn’t as noticeable as long as you looked at it straight on. From an angle, the fold was annoying.

The worst part about the phone was that it was uncomfortable to hold when folded or not, it was cumbersome, and finding a good case for it was nearly impossible.

I would rather carry something like my Deck in a case than save a little space with a folding device. Those folding screens are also very shiny and super sensitive. You can scratch those screens with your finger nails.

Yeah. I’m not a fan of their shuffle either. I sometimes want music I’ve never heard before. Supposedly their discover weekly playlist is what provides this but it’s always full of covers of songs I already regularly listen to.

I’m checking out Tidal right now. Is there a way to import the playlists that doesn’t cost money?

When you say “a real shuffle” what do you mean?

So far the audio quality is noticeably better and I have both set to maximum quality. Only complaint so far is that they seem to combine artists of same or similar names. For example, it was tough to find Wolves without it confusing different artists of the same name. I found a metal core band from Milwaukee of the same name which I like, but I was looking for a band from the early 2000’s from Massachusetts. Once I found them, Tidal lists other artists’ albums under the more albums section.

Thanks for confirming that for me. Right now my Deck runs games better than my 10 year old desktop. Eventually I’ll build a new desktop. Haha.

Finishing up Lies of P. Debating what to play next. I picked up a few things during holiday sales and giveaways and might play one of those games. Thinking of doing Pathfinder: Kingmaker. Might do Path of Exile 2 though since someone else here said it’s been running fine on their Deck.

Glad to hear it. I have been holding off on PoE2 since I almost exclusively play on my Deck and have heard some mixed things.
