Thanks to @[email protected] who can remember movie titles better than me.

Yes that was it!

Oh wow I know this movie but can’t remember the name! Saw it at a film festival once.

I find it scary how a lot of people don’t have a good permanent storage solution for their photos. If they lose their phone, all photos are gone. Many don’t even know how to transfer files between devices since everything went wireless and that process is not as intuitive anymore.

More people still watch it for the trailers than they do for the ceremony itself. I think trailers are fine, but if they want to be the “Oscars of gaming”, they should just do it like the Oscars themselves and keep all new trailers relegated to simple ad buys that play during a commercial break between segments.

The trailers are the only reason the show exists. It is not about celebrating games or anything, it’s about making as much cash as possible.

I don’t have any problems.

Lemmy is social media

As for comparisons to gasoline, I’d be leaving the tank empty so that’s not a concern for me.

You would carry around a whole combustion engine just to leave it empty?? Wtf that’s even more waistful and inefficient. Get an older EV with a small battery if you’re so allergic to it.

Battery fires are not catastrophic, it just takes a different approach to deal with it and we already know how.

You sure have to be a little more delicate with a heavy cast iron on glass than if you had a gas stovetop. But that comes pretty automatic if you understand that different materials have different strengths and you don’t have think too much about it.

I wouldn’t necessarily trust them to live long in a high traffic restaurant kitchen.

Here in Germany everyone is using radiant heat or induction cooktops. I’ve never broke the glass or seen that anywhere. Don’t know what you’re doing with it.

The only one I know personally has a very bad relationship with her mother, so she intentionally keeps a distance.

I know some do it even if they have a great relationship. It feels weird to me because it’s not the norm. Are they making a statement of some kind?

But basically only parents and grandparents are not called by name here. Uncles and aunts only when you’re young.

I try to be but it was honestly overwhelming since I’m actually not a very social person, especially not back then. Luckily he was talking most of the time. It was a learning experience for me and I’m glad I did it.

Once an old guy asked me to hold the door for him when the train stops so he can stand up and get out. I did but he took very long to stand up so I instinctively went to help him, the door closed and the train went on. So we both excited at the next stop and wanted to get the train back. It was the worst possible stop because the walk was crazy long and the old guy crazy slow. Me being way too helpful, I walked with him and he told me about how his family never visits him anymore and all kinds of trouble in his life, while one train after the other passed by. Eventually we arrived on the other side, got back to the original stop and exited. I escorted him to a taxi. He was very thankful for the adventure and I was a few hours late to work.

You can even take your favorite pieces home for continuous access.

For the dead person it doesn’t matter but for anyone else it’s better to put the rotting body where it doesn’t stink up the place.

3D level design where you can get stuck on elements when you just want to move past them. Especially frustrating in racing games or sections where you have to move fast. Controls are just not precise enough to deal with this under stress.

Visible polygons and interactable polygons are not the same thing. Play Banjo Kazooie and Yookah Laylee (including the remake) to see the difference. The latter has you constantly bump into things because the environment is not smoothed out.

On the other hand some studios take it to the other extreme and make you walk almost on rails, childproofing every corner. A good middle ground is needed.

Congratulations! I’m happy when I finish two games in a year.

It’s like going to a store and asking a random person nearby to pick out the item you want, which you are fully capable of reaching yourself, while you keep standing around and do nothing. Great human interaction.

I understand if the article is long or convoluted and you just need a short summary but even refusing to click the link and do a quick check is lazy AF and should not be encouraged. Or at least use AI for that.
