Is NextDNS really a good privacy tool? I use it myself because it’s convenient, but I always assumed that they would collect data about me since it’s a free service
As of this post, I am about seven and a half months into my transition (mtf). I’ve had talks with all of my friends, and all of those went great! I have been overwhelmed with the love and support from everybody. Some of those conversations were scarier for me than others, but none of them were as intimidating to me as a...
If I understand correctly, you feel weird that she knew about you transitioning, but didn’t say anything. To me, it sounds like a nice thing: she waited for you to be ready, allowed you to say it on your own terms instead of risking to confront you at a bad time. Also, you say that your relationship wasn’t the best with her, but she still knew, to me that sounds like she still has a strong connection with you and feels and senses you the way only a mother does, which is great because it sounds like you really care about your relationship with your parents.
I’ve heard of Pythonistas and Rustaceans. What are some of the other names given to devs writing in, for example, PHP or C++. Appreciate any answers - both serious and joking.
As a junior dev, who mainly works with C#, wf improvements are they talking about? I always thought that C++ is way better for when performance is important, like in emulation. At my company, the seniors keep talking about how we should move away form .NET to C++.
I picked up a Vita recently. So far, Gravity Rush is the only game that I definitely want to play. Any other recommendations? I’m pretty open with genres, as long as it’s something with a story.
If I had a Vita, I’d play Silent Hill Book of Memories. I heard it’s a really bad game, but as a Silent Hill fan, I’d still like to try it as it is exclusive to that console.
Also, Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3 on a handheld sound pretty cool
I’m pretty sure that people pirating games have little to do with the current surge micro transaction filled games. It’s the opposite, the people who buy all that shit and let companies get away with it are to blame.
Due to financial problems, throughout my privacy journey I have only used free tools to enhance my privacy. I was recently thinking about the question: If I had the money to give back to the services I’ve used, which ones would I donate to? Here is my personal list, which is still a WIP:...
I’ve encountered a problem, not sure if it’s related to the update or not. On both Eternity and browser my Subscribed feed shows posts from All. From Eternity only upvoting posts fails with a 401 code, but I seem to be able to do it on the browser. Any one else encountered some like that?
It’s Monday morning, and that can only mean one thing. Yup, time to work on that get-rich-quick scheme you’ve been cooking up talk about the games you’ve been playing over the last seven days....
I absolutely loved Hollow Knight, it was a much needed proof to me that video games can still be fun and suck me in.
I never played any souls game before it for more than a few minutes at a friends place and in the mid game I too thought that I would not be able to finish it. But I’d say I got quite good at it by just playing the way I wanted to and exploring. Yes, I did have to leave some bosses and come back later, but it always felt doable and never unfair. Granted, I did not complete the whole 112% of the game, but that’s something that I liked about it, it felt like I could do all that I wanted, felt satisfied with and leave.
Anyway, my point is, don’t worry about the difficulty too much, I think the game is balanced in such a way, where there are always things to do at your skill level.
Also, if you don’t feel like you are getting better at it and just getting better gear, I’d recommend starting a new temporary save and seeing how far you can get to without dying. I cannot describe how much this surprised me, how all the patterns I memorized stayed with me and how much I could do with minimal upgrades.
Top 10-25 games articles are all the same and obvious. Are there some less known or even obscure games, including bad-that-it’s-good ones, we can have fun with? What’s your experience with them? Bonus points if you played via an emulator.
