I relate to the kid. I once slept under the couch cushions because it was more comfortable to be kinda warm than to be cold sleeping on top. Buddy was the first to pass out and it was like 2 am and I didn’t know where an extra blanket was.

“Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when we look back everything is different.”

You measure your life by the milestones. When your a kid these come quickly. First words, first steps, first day of school, first friend, first crush, and on and on. So many things happening all of the time. As we get older the time between these milestones grows. You work the same job, see the same people, have the same routines. The space between those milestones blurs together and it all feels the same. It goes by slowly, but when you look back it’s happened all at once, where did the time go?

It’s important to fill as much of that space between as we can. Be adventurous and try everything, hit new milestones.

Yeah this is one of those games you play for what it is now because chances are it’s about as finished as it will ever be.

Discord is really bad for preservation of information. I can still find forum posts from 10 years ago on a given topic all over, but discord links seem to expire and break all the damn time and it’s hard to search through. It sucks that discord has become the defacto choice for user community space.

It sucks because while the award has lost ‘prestige’ by becoming too much of a marketing gimmick it still obviously means a great deal to the teams that win. Maybe I’m too jaded on the topic but I can’t watch these kind of events anymore. Unaffiliated celebrities, shitty ad slots, can’t even hear the people your watching for talk for any length of time. For the viewers it’s kinda a shitty thing to watch live. Catch the highlights as they make their rounds on social media.

This is the sort of thing that keeps your hobby alive with the next generation. Very cool

Diablo 4 isn’t that good of a game and not even close to the best arpg. I admittedly got hosed on buying it at launch and am not giving them more money. Why would I spend over 150$ total to get the equivalent of 1 mediocre game assuming they fix all the bs. Definitely regret the purchase at this point, and if a fixed version is going to be locked behind absurdly priced dlc in the future I feel like I got scammed twice.

This imploded so quickly I’m impressed

For me it’s the sense of progression. I cognitively know it’s meaningless progression but emotionally I still feel value out of that artificial progression. Like I’ve achieved something. In addition to that it’s freeing in that it’s the most objectively fair setting(I suppose this is less true in modern games than it used to be sadly) in a game it doesn’t matter who you are or what your reality is, it doesn’t exist there. No problems from your real life have to exist there so that escapism can be a very addictive coping mechanism.

Id need a fan to get rid of moisture when it’s hot and my feet are sweaty.

Quick swap method for the tread of the bottom as it becomes worn or to suit another purpose - need nonslip non conductive bottom at work -swap as needed or maybe need better support for long distance running on pavement for your work out - swap to the tread for that

Shoe laces are gone I want a one hand quick latch or something. I’ve seen them on helmets adapt it to a shoe please.

Sponsor block says it’s skipped about 18hrs since I started using it. No way I’m going to stop using it when I have a choice.

Yes this is the most critical. The apps that have been made are a good stride in the right direction but the fediverse is not intuitive to use
