I use Outlook at work, and a former co-worker showed me her trick which is to create calendar reminders for time-sensitize things because there is always too much to remember. And you get the benefit of appearing busy (red) in Teams so people are less likely to interrupt. It’s like a meeting but you are the only one invited.
I noticed there are a lot of games with -punk in their titles. What’s with that?
Nothing against the other suggestions, but pretty much anything you can buy that is “ready to eat” (canned soup) or “easy to make” (Kraft dinner), even if it is already cheap, would still be cheaper to make yourself from scratch. Cooking, in bulk, is your friend.
Two cartons of soup broth $1.77 CDN/946ml each, half a bag of frozen veggies $2.57/500g, boom you have 5 soup meals for <$1 per meal. A cup of flour to make dumplings in that soup and make it more appealing. Compare that to a canned soup which seems to be up in price lately, between 1.50 - 3.00, and you’re laughing, and eating a lot less salt.
I haven’t figured out exactly the cost of making bread (I play with the recipe and how many loaves), but I am absolutely certain it costs less and tastes better than the cheapest bullshit bread you can get at a store. So less than $2 for a loaf, and it actually smells and tastes like bread and doesn’t dissolve in your mouth like cotton candy. No bullshit preservatives.
Pasta with pasta sauce, ez and cheap af, filling. <$1 per meal.
Things that are more difficult imo are meat and cheese due to the cost. I like to buy frozen logs of ground beef which isn’t that appealing on it’s own, but is passable in chili and shepherd’s pie. Cheese can go a long way especially if you shred it for pizza (and you already have flour and pasta sauce from above.)
Speaking of shepherd’s pie, potatoes are cheap and versatile. One tube of ground beef with a layer of frozen veg and mashed taters on top, again <$1 per meal.
Not to mention rice which is maybe the ultimate value-for-money food when you just need something in your stomach. Foodies will crucify me, but I love to eat it with margerine (way cheaper than butter) and salt and pepper. There’s so much more you can do with it, though. Good for bulking up soups too.
If you have a dog and haven’t posted it in a babushka yet… Why not?
Yeah I kind of agree. Their mellow side certainly seems to outweigh the metal parts from what I’ve listened to. I guess the artist felt that was the best way to express what they wanted to express, even if you and I don’t really “get” that part of their vision.
FWIW you can play completely ranged in the the Dark Souls games. DS2 has binoculars which let you treat it like a FPS with spells if you so choose. It’s a lot of fun imo. Bows are also viable.
Unfortunately I don’t know of anything else like that besides Remnant.
I think part of it is that metal can be very genre-fluid compared to other styles of music, so when people hear the metal parts they’re quick to accept it as that. One of the first things new metal listeners learn is that there are a thousand subgenres.
I kind of loosely place them in the metal category in my mind. Even though they’re really a lot more like Bon Iver with the occasional metal passage.
Jed’s Other Poem is so fucking good
Tool - Parabol / Parabola
Tool - Intermission / Jimmy (although probably among their less popular songs)
They don’t even know why we’re dicks out 😭
Yeah, it seems like there are a lot of imitations, but very few that nail it. Never played LotF, but it makes my bullshit detector go off. Same with a lot of other soulslikes.
I think with the success of the genre and apparent difficulty to execute it well there is a kind of sweet spot or evolutionary path for games that get the soulslike elements right but aren’t trying to just be clones. Tunic and Death’s Door come to mind. Unsouled is a recent one I played whose combat felt great, but wasn’t trying too hard. Same with Tails of Iron. I think those games all borrow from souls AND other influences enough to stand as their own new ideas and not just souls guy in armour game #1246383.
Not sure what else to say other than hopefully we get some new ideas that take the best of souls and other things to make something new and quality. And hopefully Fromsoft keeps putting out solo games on all platforms.
Dota without question
Came here to say this. Over 4 years clean now. There were a lot of good times with the squad. And I guess it gave me a relatively high APM which helps at work.

For those people you want to know that you care enough about them to wish a good morning, but not enough to type out the full words
Hmm, it’s been a while so I forget, but I might be one of them lol
Yeah, it was otherwise good so far. Maybe it’s just me, but getting lost drives me nuts. Exploring is one thing, but aimlessly wandering and not feeling like it’s making any progression really gets on my nerves.
Terrible. But I got over it.
Any recommendations?
I tried the Moondrop Chu 2 and they were great, but after 6 months of daily use the sound is partially cutting out and I have to jiggle the wire to “fix” it temporarily. Need something more durable.
