I bike as my primary form of commute / transportation, and whenever I hit a pothole or go over some particularly rough patches of road I worry that overtime this could damage the watch. Anyone have any insight into this? I did a bit of research and it seems like many watches these days have some sort of shock-resistance in the...
Thanks for your detailed response! These are all good things to keep in mind. I guess it really comes down to risk vs. reward. There's not really a specific benefit to me of wearing a watch while biking, it's more of a convenience thing (I'll likely be wearing my watch before and after my commute). Maybe it's better to keep the watch in a bag, where the shock is less direct (through my body and the bag), whereas on my wrist the shocks are fairly direct from the handlebars.
Unless the PC version is also locked to 30 fps, then I have a hard time believing this is the case. It seems more likely that it’s just a matter of the complexity of the world and visuals that make it harder to push more than 30 fps.
Some people are so fragile. Fox News of course is saying feds have banned non US flags, of course lying to their viewers about what is actually happening.
Wow the description of the flag in the flag code is amusingly vague: "The flag of the United States shall be thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red and white; and the union of the flag shall be forty-eight stars, white in a blue field."
According to the wikipedia page, the exact specification is given in "Executive Order 10834," but strictly it only applies to flags made for and by the federal government.
As title. Even better if whatever you use also helps with recommendations! I’ve been mostly using Goodreads, but Bookwyrm looks like a neat decentralized alternative. Does anyone have any experience with it?
Oof that sounds like it could get tedious. I suppose this is something that might be solved as more people use it, and it builds up an internal catalogue of books?

Yeah, I'm not sure either. To me, the loss of resources on death and the bonfire system are also really big parts of a "souls-like," so without these two, I'm leaning more towards souls-influenced, than strictly souls-like.
2023 is shaping up to be one of the best years for gaming in ages. From Tears of the Kingdom to Diablo IV to Street Fighter 6, it's already been a pretty great year, with quite a few big-budget releases coming later this year...
I’m crossing my fingers hoping they’ll eventually have the option for 3rd-person game play, similar to Skyrim (and Starfield!). It feels like a waste to spend time collecting cool clothing and armor, as well as customizing our character, only to see them occasionally in a mirror.
Specifically, I'm trying to post (an image) to boston@lemmy.ml from my account on kbin.social. The post shows up on kbin.social, but when I go to https://lemmy.ml/c/boston, it doesn't seem to be there. Is there something special I need to do to ensure it's viewable?
That's possible! I thought that could be the issue. I was a bit confused because it looks like "posts" are put in the "microblog" category on kbin which I thought loosely corresponds to Mastadon-style posts. But maybe I'm wrong...
Related to this, open world (or just games with a large map) where there's no fast travel option. Back tracking and trophy-hunting in Jedi Fallen Order was painful because of this...

It sounds like CD Projekt is rolling right into the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel when Phantom Liberty is finished (www.pcgamer.com)
Phantom Liberty's director is also taking charge of the 2077 sequel.
