It won awards, but it didn't get the "overall game of the year" award from any of those 5 outlets. And, compared to baldurs gate 3 I think its quite easy to understand why. Totk was a well polished experience but it suffered quite a lot from "mile wide inch deep" syndrome IMHO. Probably one of the best games Nintendo has ever made, but it isn't as good as baldur's gate 3.

I was gonna say, how do you know an aeropress/nixos user - they'll tell you. But Debian works too 😂

And which minority group do you belong to that makes you an expert on their issues?

Oof. Passing is an archaic concept, just use the language for people that doesn't make them feel uncomfortable.

Its both, except in the case of this post where the person is clearly being snarky and trying to put this woman down.

Most mansplaining is a man trying to be helpful. The issue arises in that they try to be helpful in situations where, if it was another man, they wouldn't try to be helpful, because they'd assume the man already knew the thing.

An obviously stretched out example, but, if someone was dreadfully thirsty and I, out of the absolute kindness of my heart, tried to offer them advice like "Gosh, that sounds awful. I'm so sorry. Have you tried drinking water? I've been thirsty before and water always fixes me right up", I'm sure we'd all agree this is misplaced advice and probably reflects on my perception (or presumptions) of their intelligence.

For those more sensitive areas you want to make sure you're getting a razor body where the blade doesn't protrude as far. Henson shavers are incredible quality but I dont remember if they have a razor body suited for body hair.

The idea with these razors is to not apply much pressure, just letting the weight of the razor itself do the pressing. As long as youre doing that, and not holding it at a stupid angle, you should find it quite difficult to hurt yourself shaving your head. Same goes for your pubes, but if you're going to shave your balls with it you'll need to take a lot of care.

Trans people+autistic people seeking diagnosis would take a 1 year waiting list even 😅

Except etiquette extends beyond just "common social etiquette". Using a knife and fork the "correct way" is etiquette. Eating soup by scooping the spoon away from oneself is etiquette. Placing your cutlery the correct way on the dish when you're finished is etiquette and varies wildly by country. These are just examples of dining etiquette, there's much more. Its all bullshit and I agree it should boil down to being respectful and mindful, but depending who raised you it may happen that you get reprimanded and punished for not following very arbitrary rules.

 

I'm trying my best to dive back into the past and play all the gems that I missed as a kid because I was either born too late or too much of a kid to consider playing them. I found myself really disappointed going back to the old mario nes/snes titles because they felt really bad to play as I've become accustomed to modern platformer design sensibilities (like coyote time and responsive movement).

Are there any oldies+goldies that have stood up to the test of time and not shown their age in the same way? Or are so good that they're worth playing despite showing their age? Preferably avoiding racing, sports, and final fantasy-esque titles. Not really interested in anything more recent than PS2 era either.

I already have Earthbound in my sights as it isn't one I've played before but it comes highly recommended.

 

Has something happened? I made 3 posts and a few comments late yesterday and they're all gone today (but still appear on the federated instances I posted them to)
