Specifically the hops used to flavour beer are a potent herbal sleep aid.

Per the author:

i never even knew about syncthing until now. it’s (clearly) a lot better, but again, the reason I made this is because of my school’s software whitelist. they only allow certain apps to run on my laptop, one of them being python due to out compsci class. since then, I’ve been using it to get around whitelists and make my own stuff. this allows me to sync up me and my friend’s stuff (like projects, etc.) while we’re in school and not have to worry about the whitelist

So this will affect Reddit and Lemmy too, presumably?

I disagree - adding RT to games that weren’t designed for it often (but not always) wrecks the original art direction.

Quake II is a great example; I think the raytraced version looks like absolute ass. Sure, it has fancy shadows and reflections, but all that does is highlight how old the assets are.

A phone is also a physical object. Yes, you could lose it, but you could also lose your paper passport.

The bigger issue in terms of reliability is having your documentation on a device with a battery that can run out.

It’ll be interesting to see how it compares to AdGuard

Any thoughts on why the bears have such a big UK fanbase? It’s definitely bigger than you would expect compared to teams from bigger cities.

There’s a decent NFL following in the UK for sure - explains why they give us international games every year!

49ers is relatively unusual out here, though, I think? If I see anything NFL it’s usually Jags, Jets, Dolphins, or Bears.

I don’t think I’ve ever used a fake name to order anything online.

I can understand doing it for something potentially embarrassing or compromising, but until I saw this post it never even crossed my mind that there might be people that do it as a matter of course.

Sadly (at the time of writing) you’re just getting downvoted, because Lemmy’s hateboner for Nintendo is more important than context

Brian and Charles.

The vibes are similar to Napoleon Dynamite, but the setting is rural Britain instead.

Heartfelt, kooky, a little bit bleak but ultimately feel-good.

$50 for an app to generate random maths problems?! I’m at a loss for words

Suddenly all the cutesy indie life sims with fishing minigames don’t seem so wholesome any more

Have you tried Blue Prince?

I’m sure there are lots of examples for me, but I guess one that comes to mind is 007: The World Is Not Enough for PS1.

Reading/hearing about it as an adult, not only is it seen as a poor follow up to Goldeneye, but also the PS1 version is the worse of the two releases, with the general consensus being that the N64 version is better.

Back in the day, though, I didn’t know any better and I loved it. I expect most people have games like that.

To be replaced with what? SNW was (is, for the time being) a great show and the torchbearer of the franchise IMO. For a time it looked like Paramount was finally righting the ship with SNW and LD, but now they’re both gone and they’re back to putting out dross like Section 31?

This article is about 20 years old - it’s a geocities archive. Why it got reposted now, other than to start some pointless internet arguments, is anybody’s guess.

the programme, aimed at 7–14 year olds, is “designed to spark wonder for science and the future of energy”. It includes a game, in which players attempt to build a city that survives until the year 2050, and in-school education materials to “showcase how modern cities use energy resources and the ways the energy transition can be managed”

I think people are forgetting just how tiny the Switch launch lineup was.

• 1-2-Switch
• Breath of the Wild
• Snipperclips

That was about it. There was a reason eshop shovelware title Vroom in the Night Sky somehow got tons of coverage from major outlets and gaming YouTubers: there was almost literally nothing else to play for weeks.

Yes, same as in the original release.

I’d say the only caveat is that I would not recommend multiplayer for a first-time playthrough. It completely undercuts the tension and horror aspects and turns the game into a comedy. Still fun, but absolutely not the intended experience, so it’s better saved for a second run through (IMO).
