I think you’ve already had your questions answered, but I’d like to add 2 more things:

First, if it’s in budget, I would still consider OLED. I love my LCD deck, but I kinda wish the screen was nicer.

Second, it may be cheapest to get the 64GB version and upgrade the ssd yourself. That’s what I did, and it’s pretty easy with the deck’s repairable design.

If rhythm games are on the table, I’d like to recommend Sayonara Wild Hearts. It honestly doesn’t really meet the criteria of this post, (it’s more flashy than cozy, more feminine than girly, and it does have some combat) but it’s really good.

Like I said, that’s not reasonable behavior. They didn’t clearly communicate what they expected from you, and then got angry about it. Also, if you didn’t do the dishes, I wonder if they would have been angry about that instead. From what you’re describing, it sounds like you made a very reasonable decision. But even if you were in the wrong (I don’t think you were), it’s still partly on them– ND people tend to need more concrete, direct communication, and it doesn’t sound like your partner is making an effort to communicate with you effectively

Really though, I can’t imagine getting angry at someone for doing chores, unless it was super loud like vacuuming. It’s not like doing dishes makes much noise.

Why does your partner expect you to bend over backward for them, when they are unwilling to do the same for you? Why are they expecting you to structure your whole life around them, when they aren’t taking any steps to coexist with you? (If something as quiet as you doing dishes in the other room keeps them up, why aren’t they using white noise and earplugs? You shouldn’t be expected to try to match their sleep schedule)

Also, I still think it’s a bit crazy that they expect you home by 9:00, and 30min late is inexcusable. I assume that I’m younger than you, but with my friends it’s not uncommon to show up an hour late, and stay out until 1.

I know this post probably isn’t the full story, but from what you’ve written, it your partner seems narcissistic and controlling. It sounds like they’re unwilling or unable to extend you grace, or see things your way, but they expect you to conform to their needs.

I think it’s pretty unreasonable for them to have a curfew for you, and even more unreasonable that they’re angry about you being a half hour later than they assumed. (not to mention that you were literally at a group that you chose to go to specifically to be a better partner)

Also they get angry at you when you do the dishes, right after they told you to, even though they weren’t sleeping? That’s not normal behavior. A mature person would simply talk to you in the morning, not start a fight (I’m sure a fight has 10x the effect on sleep compared to distant sounds of running water for 5 mins) Even if sleep is really that important to them, it’s unfair to expect you to tiptoe around them. Have they even tried white noise, or earplugs?

I’ve been wondering about this. It seems like it’s been around for a long time, but I’m seeing it more recently.

I kinda like the letterforms, even though the kerning and balance of visual weight are terrible. . . . . . oiter

There is some risk of burn in, but it’s pretty manageable for modern OLED monitors with normal usage. Like, it should last closer to a decade than a year, especially if you lower the brightness a little.

There’s definitely a grey area. “Sports” is a spectrum from competitive team based games, to any recreational activity that requires athleticism.

In this case my point is that wrestling presents itself as a competitive sport, while that aspect of it is fake.

I agree to some extent, but there’s an important difference between sport and performance. WWE is categorically separate from say, BJJ. Sure, they both have guys rolling around on the floor, and they’re both kinda silly, but one is a real competition with rules and skill while the other is a predetermined show.

You don’t need to sit at a light with the blinker going. I just put it on before the light turns green, or right before I start moving.

Good news, we can actually do all of the above already!

• add consciousness have kids

• remove consciousness die

• alter consciousness do drugs

Well I remember seeing a study that ads actually have a pretty bad return on money on average, so the problem is that selling ads is quite profitable. Platforms drown us in ads because it makes them money, and it doesn’t matter if the ads themselves are effective or not.

Laws vary around the world, but I think at a minimum, you’d need a court ruling that aliens / AIs are people.

I honestly don’t think this looks very good. The lighting and assets look good on their own, but this remaster completely changes the art direction of the original, and it ends up losing a lot of the atmosphere that the original had.

I hope they make some last minute changes, or we at least get a mod to restore it to the original game’s aesthetics.

I think a simple color grade, and tweaking/removing some of the lights could basically fix it, so I’m a bit surprised they took this approach. It looks like they prioritized tech demo over faithful recreation.

Yeah this is what I’m confused about, why would you send your potential catfish victims to the same place where they can talk to each other and then ignore them?

This makes the most sense, but I still find it odd that they would send victims to the same discord server, or friendica.

When you say the blade doesn’t move, do you just mean it doesn’t articulate, and moves in one direction like a scroll saw? Or is it still and you manually move the stock against the blade?

The first part is true, it’s super expensive. But anecdotally therapy is very socially acceptable and mental health is openly talked about, in younger generations at least.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted for this, especially when you state it as your belief.

I do think it’s likely accurate, too. If you look at brain scans, we can see that decisions are made before we’re consciously aware of them. Also split brain patients will attribute intent to actions of their completely separate hemisphere.

I don’t think this is a healthy mindset, though. Personally I think this way as a coping mechanism more than anything else, even if I do genuinely believe it’s likely how the universe works.

It’s not a moba replacement, but it’s one of my favorite multiplayer games. Highly recommend.

Most anticheat isn’t a technical issue though, it’s just companies blocking Linux.
