Analog connections are very universal. You don’t need to deal with handshakes between devices, sample rate differences, clock systems etc. because each device receives and outputs analog signal via mostly the same 1/4" jacks and plugs.

While a digital signal chain would have overall latency benefits and fewer A/D/A conversions, it just doesn’t matter that much with modern hardware.

So they are bringing back what is left of the units they moved to Ukraine?

Movies are unrealistic because they never show the angry stud finder part of punching walls.

You ever manage to hack into the Pentagon by furiously typing for about 5 seconds?

Some kids claimed you could run faster if you hold your fingers straight, because that’s how T-1000 (Robert Patrick) runs in Terminator 2.

I think you could do almost anything for a day. One day is “Here’s Jim, he’s new, and we are going to show him how we do things here” stuff where little actual work happens.

A month would be a more realistic situation. I wouldn’t want to be military in an active war zone, work for a drug/trafficking cartel, or any other dangerous profession where the likelihood of dying or going to prison is high. Or professions where I’d have to actively harm people.

Infinite growth and the shittification of services and products while exploiting labor to make that happen are the real problems.

Billionaires should not exist and companies should be doing what is best for the company, its employees and customers, not what pleases their stockholders.

It’s been a rough year and I came very close to being furloughed. Managed to get a new client just at the right time and now I’m thriving again. I’m thankful for having frankly a lot of luck over the years which has put me where I am today. I’m not saying hard work wasn’t important too, but sheer luck has been helpful too.

That’s basically Saints Row 4.

This fits OP’s description perfectly. Great game. It’s on PS+ if you play on Playstation 4 or 5.

Plus there would always be griefers who just want to ruin other people’s game because the repercussions are at most a bit of money (if they get banned and have to buy a new copy of the game), rather than incarceration, bodily harm, or death in the real world.

Galaxy Fold 4. The default is Samsung Internet, but the one I use is Vivaldi, which I also use on desktop.

Exactly. The amount of /r/adviceanimals level pure shit content on Reddit is high, paired with the bots that repost things until they start hocking some crypto bullshit links.

But I have kept using Reddit for years because every once in a while, you see someone write thoughtful posts about some niche subject you didn’t even know existed. That’s always interesting.

Lemmy is at a state where it needs more users writing about things that interest them.

Relay Pro just went to subscription, so the last 3rd party Reddit app is gone. I will probably read Lemmy much more on mobile from now on and hope it picks up steam.

Clean the shower drain. You can also get little nets for catching hair under the grate, at least for the ones usually found in my country. It’s surprising how much hair ends up there.

To me Liftoff looks a lot more cluttered than Jerboa.

Loved Boost for Reddit.

The ability to mute any sound I hear. Baby crying, annoying hum, someone snoring, obnoxious drunk? Muted.

Something like RDR2 but focused on the life sim part. Instead of narrative driven game where your main action in the world is violence, go all in on the simulation part with actually working economics, job choices etc.

I want to be a lumberjack hauling wood to the local mill via the river, not a bandit robbing every passer by. Also, I should be able to buy high heels from the big city store.

Nioh 2 is my favorite “non-From Software” Soulslike game. No need to play Nioh 1 before it.

I like it as an idea but fear it would be used by bots and scammers.

Does Lovecraftian horror interest you? Do you think you could muster fighting unfathomable monstrosities with blade weapons while carefully dodging and parrying their attacks? Do you not mind grinding areas and bosses until you conquer them?

If the answer is yes, you might have what it takes to enjoy Bloodborne!

It was my first Souls game and like for many others, just getting through its first level was a combination of fear, frustration and small victories. But by the time you manage to defeat the first boss just barely, there is nothing quite like the feeling of conquering what on all your previous tries seemed nearly impossible. That just got me hooked on the series so hard that I have played every From Software Souls game at this point and still consider Bloodborne to be the best.

To me it’s the combination of its setting, visuals, art style, game mechanics and level design that make it such a great game.

If you own a PS4 or 5, it’s available on PS Plus so if you have that, you can try it out!
