Reports are inconclusive at the moment. Some users have reported worse performance, others swear that uninstalling mods and/or verifying the game's files has fixed their performance issues. ...
A shame you haven't heard of Ghost Trick actually! It's a fun puzzle game about a guy trying to solve his own murder, as he's a ghost who's forgotten who he is. You have to set up rube goldberg machines to prevent other people from dying, that may or may not be related to your death.
Glad you like it! It's got a lot of humor, and I really like the music. As the other comment said, you can always get the DS version, made before this DRM existed. There are also parts of the game that work better with the dual screen/touch screen setup, as that's what the game was designed for.
What have you been using? I've been on and off with Japanese for a while, was using some Anki decks but was getting frustrated with it. Now for the last while I've been using JPDB, which I like, but wish I could customize more. I also wish I could use it offline, because sometimes it lags when I'm hitting an answer, and that gets annoying.
You would think someone would have thought to encase two shells in like a cage in headphones so you can listen to the ocean while you sleep. It's like a sound machine, but no battery required.
The shells may not have inherently sharp edges, but if they're big enough to fit over your ears, and weren't caged in some convoluted way, if you rolled over and broke them, then you might have some sharp problems.
People can put whatevet they want on their vehicle, that's none of my business. That said, I'd be too afraid that having something like this would incentivize some asshole to vandalize my car.

Who conducts these polls? How many people were polled? 100? 1000? I always see "Americans say this" or "People believe that", but I certainly never voted on any poll, no one I know has. It always makes me feel like the polling base is going to be biased or carefully selected in some way to achieve the desired percentages.
Do people refer to individual units of lasagna as "slices"? Admittedly I've never thought of how to refer to one other than as a plate of lasagna, but I've never heard anyone else use slice, like you would a cake.
Seriously, I want a phone that I can hold in one hand, and my thumb can reach the entirety of the screen. My current phone is so bulky and heavy, I can barely reach half the screen with my thumb.
I haven't, do you have any specific recommendations? These Xperias seem just as big, if not bigger, than the phone I currently have. And I don't know if narrower is necessarily the solution to my problem either, I know we live in a 16:9 world, but I kind of just want a square phone.
Civilization VI, I usually make "multiplayer" games so that I can set every AI's team and difficulty, and I'll make a somewhat large map with way too many players, each on teams of two or three, and then one AI will be the god-emperor-king that we all have to band together to defeat.
I don't think there's a correct reason someone finds a fetish a fetish, it's just something they witnessed and were turned on by. Though I for one will never understand what people's obsession with feet is, other than at one point it was probably considered 'taboo'. The same is probably true for farting and other forms of excrement, humanity seems to be attracted to that which they're told is wrong or forbidden.
It might not be so bad if it were just the pasta and sauce, but it's also frozen. Which like, I guess it has to be to maintain that shape without breading of some kind, but that does mean it's cold. I've had cold pasta and sauce before, but not that cold. Still, might not be so bad. The worst part would be it defrosting in the middle of eating, and it just falling apart.
It's way too squished to me to see it as that, the problem with minimalism I suppose. I always saw it as a weird little face, like for Wumpus or a different strangely shaped creature.

I think there's a difference between not calling someone an idiot and tolerating their bad ideas and actions though. I agree people need to be stopped, and not tolerated, but when the only answer is insulting them with various names like idiot or nazi, all that ends up happening is they keep their toxic and destructive ideas hidden from the public, and then band with others labelled idiot and nazi, until they feel comfortable in a group to express their rhetoric without fear.
Being trans, gay, bi, black, or a different ethnicity than what is considered 'normal' in your society doesn't make you special, or less than human. I support trans rights and want to treat all humans equally on a base level. Assuming someone who looks or sounds like a woman is a woman is not transphobic, even if they are a trans man. Nor is assuming a man is straight homophobic.
At the same time, I think it's strange to introduce yourself as trans or gay in a public setting or on a social platform as if it's your calling card or occupation to be proud of. I was born with double-jointed thumbs, I don't think I should be congratulated or mocked for that, the same I don't think someone born with a man's body and a woman's brain, or otherwise decides to identify as a woman later in life, or is sexually attracted to either anything or nothing, should be given more than a passing acknowledgement.
I understand the world is cruel and harsh, and so I understand why there needs to be an LGBTQ community, but there -shouldn't- be one.
Well I'm not really arguing against anything, the question was what moral do I hold that I don't think most people agree with.
By the same argument, there shouldn't be a straight community
Yes, that's basically what I said. I would prefer we live in a world where sexual orientation is no more prevalent a feature to define someone than their hair color. I wish there didn't need to be laws for or against gay marriage, or rights for specific types of people over others. But this is reality and not a hopeful fantasy, so again I understand the the need for the LGBTQ community, and laws to protect and represent the people part of it. But at the same time, I personally don't think anyone should be celebrated (or mocked) for being part of it.
I actually have a friend like that as well. We played a lot of games and participated in roleplay communities together. I didn't even know she was trans until one of her friends brought it up for some reason. My reaction was just kind, "Oh, neat, anyway."
I have a different friend who I knew before her transition who is a lot more vocal about such a thing, and while I do respect her decisions she definitely wears it as a badge of honor. A few months ago we were playing Minecraft with some of her friends, and I didn't know any of them.
One of them (to me) had a feminine name and a feminine voice, so when I was talking to my friend, I asked "Hey where did Zoey (example name) go? I need to give her some iron." And my friend immediately cut me off to correct me that he was a he, and that he was trans, with a very angry tone to her voice. I understand misgendering may be a problem... but how was I supposed to know? We're faceless voices across the internet, I know referring to everyone as they/them is 'safer', but that's a little ridiculous to me (Especially because I've met some people who -don't- want to be referred to with gender neutral pronouns)
I know that might sound hypocritical, that I don't think people should introduce themselves as trans or anything else, and that I shouldn't be villified for making an innocent misassumption. Having my cake and eating it too.
I would assume the goal of transitioning is for people to believe you are what you say you are, without the label of trans. I'd never have guessed that my rp friend was trans, and similarly if my friend had not told me their friend was trans, I would have just assumed he was a feminine guy, and not a trans man.
That's true I suppose. I may be overly cynical (and clinical) when it comes to such things, I think that stems from the extremely stifling household I grew up in, where my parents wanted me to be religious, wanted everyone to know I was religious, and wanted me to let everyone know I was religious, as if I was a lucky one to find salvation. At some point the browbeating wore off, and I realized whatever opinions and beliefs I held didn't make me more or less than anyone else, and that no one else's would make them any more or less than the average human to me. (So long as their opinions and beliefs don't bring harm to others, that is.)
The fundamental problem with questions like these is that people are inclined to upvote morals they agree with, and downvote the ones they don't like, instead of upvoting answers that fit the question of unpopular. I don't know that there's much to be done about that though.
I do target shooting as a hobby but I'm genuinely curious. The US is known (for better and worse) for it's culture of gun ownership but the US is also know for widely differing experiences
Yes, only once. I was visiting my landlord at the time to do some yard work for him, he took me to the side of his house, asked if I wanted to shoot his shotgun, and put it in my hands before I could answer.
I thought this was strange, but I noticed my muscle memory actually uses left shift for letters typed with my left hand, and right shift for my right, I use my pinkie in either case.
I made a Lemmy instance with a custom algorithm that keeps only the top 20% most unique (=interesting?) posts. It does this by calculating a similarity score between every post on my instance and all posts that came before it. The top 80% of posts with the highest self-similarity get removed instantly. ...
This is very interesting. I've been thinking of how a similar but different system could be implemented. The front page of any instance always seems to have two to four posts by the same person, and I've been following a rule that if I notice it I block them to remove their clutter of posts from my feed. Unfortunately, most of these accounts are brand new ones posting memes, so it feels like for every two I swat down, four more take their place.
I was looking for an instance that allowed me to mute all new accounts, or less likely an instance that filters out posts by the same person, but it doesn't seem such a thing has been created.
This isn't the same that I wanted, and if I'm not mistaken it only applies to posts inside this instance, since the algorithm is removing them? Or does it filter out all similar posts across the fediverse feed? Still, it's close in concept.
I don't remember a specific age the transition happened, or if I ever actually believed it, but I remember my family getting a PS3 one year for Christmas "from Santa". Sometime in the Summer, I was in the car while my mom was on the phone talking about the PS3 she got for us needing a repair or something. Again it wasn't that I believed in Santa at that point, it just became a core memory of "Oh you lied about that"
Thought this was Mildly Annoying, and I would have agreed. As a retail stocker, the shelf expects them to all be the same, but the one that's a slightly different shape usually doesn't fit as many as the rest. It's even worse when companies decide to change the packaging for the same product, like Stouffers, and I have to spend an extra five seconds determining if the items are the same or aren't.
It happens so often where we’re watching a series and as we’re scrolling to the right episode, we see thumbnails made from a clip in that episode. So like if someone was maybe about to die, now I know that’s not gonna be the case. And most of the time, the description says too much. ...
I've had this same thought for years. There's nothing more frustrating than loading up YT and a recommended video on the home page has a major spoiler in the thumbnail for something I'm interested in. Titles can be bad too, but at least I can skim over most of them and not actually process them.

The toilet leaking seems like a little too much effort for me, but otherwise I'm on board. Don't forget moving their small and easily misplaceable objects when they set them down. Maybe just around the room a little bit, like putting their phone on their seat when they get up instead of the arm of the chair where they left it.
