Hey folks, what is everyone playing this week? Are you trying something new or returning to a previously played game or genre? How are you liking what you’re currently playing?
Just finished the main storyline for Pokemon infinite fusion. Great game, highly recommend. There are a lot of custom sprites for fused Pokemon so the product end up looking pretty goofy/creepy/cool/cute/weird depending on which Pokemon is head and body.
Next up is probably going to cyberpunk 2077 or Nier Replicant.
Incredible. Given how expensive dental treatment is in a lot of places, this could be revolutionary for people who can’t afford regular checkups and/or treatment plans. It’s not going to be a replacement but it can certainly mitigate a lot of damage.
Over the years, there’ve been various red flags in gaming, for me at least. Multi-media. Full-Motion Video. Day-One DLC. Microtransactions. The latest one is Live Service Game. I find the idea repulsive because it immediately tells me this is an online-required affair, even if it doesn’t warrant it. There’s no reason for...
I’m not a fan of it. I think live service games generally comes with battle passes, which are essentially preordering DLCs. DLCs that have not been announced, with no details and nothing else. They also often offer some exp bonus or in game items. I think this has an impact on how the game is balanced. The bonuses can’t be game breaking so they have to nerf the base game experience to make it “valuable”.
I think it can be done well if the base game is free. Dota 2 and csgo are good examples of it because the bonuses that come with battle passes are mostly cosmetic, and they help the support game development. If the base game is £60, then the company can fuck off. I prefer standalone games with expansion packs being released at a later time. Being able to play offline is also great, even though I am rarely without Internet access.
like, it’s caffeine and water and brown, who cares. i drink diet soda so it’s no calories, no sugar. versus the stereotype starbucks order, why is soda so demonized...
Contrary to popular belief, diet soda is completely fine in moderation (like 20 cans per day limit), assuming your teeth/guts can handle the acidity. Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCDqqVwYMa4
Coffee typically doesn’t have much or any sugar in it. It’s caffeine, water, milk. It has more caffeine than soda so it feels better to take it in the morning
I get that it’s a youtube video but Dr Mike knows his stuff. He goes through WHO’s recommendations and gives his practical input on the matter.

I have it but I have never used it. I’ve been using my Galaxy note 9 user since December 2018. I have active noice cancelling headphones for most scenarios and true wireless earphones for gym.
Used to grind fresh every time but I have a tiny air tight container now that I use to make reloading easier. I only keep about 3 bowls worth in it though.
I’m not a heavy smoker so 3 bowls lasts me for the entire work week
I bought a tiny one from “Jyarz” but there are plenty of options out there. I do like my Jyarz though. There’s no odour leak, and it keeps the weed fresh

This sums up very well how I went from “lmao I could never give up meat or dairy” to being a vegetarian and then vegan.
Companies do whatever gives them more money. As long as people keep buying animal products, they’re going to continue to destroy our forests, land, and oceans.
Ever since I heard about Baldur’s Gate 3, my anticipation reached new heights, amplified by snagging an early access pass. With high hopes, I embarked on what I believed would be the ultimate gaming journey. Yet, as I dived in, an unexpected challenge arose....
I failed my first few rolls, resulting in me missing out on a party member… I didn’t even know until I reached act 2. Then I lost another party member due to missing some dice rolls. Then I ran into a huge mess due to a bug, where some enemies were not waiting for their turn. They straight up ran into the battle, and ganked an important npc; resulting in a really really bad result (affected one of the companion quests I wanted to see to the end). I blame the bug for that result so I save scummed that. I have no regrets though since the game forced that problem on me.
