  • Baby shark caught in glove rescued by couple on scuba diving trip in Rhode Island

  • Uplifting news that isn't boring (Bob did well in school his whole life.) and doesn't imply bad things happening (the community came together to save Jill from a life in the slave pits of Hoth) is actually a challenge.

    What would be an example that was interesting with no negative connotations? Maybe news of scientific and engineering breakthroughs? Children who rise above a good but boring life?

  • Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?

    Jump

  • Dark Souls II I am really enjoying it. I think this is my new 2nd favorite souls game after DS1.

  • What exercise routine REALLY works for you?

    Jump

  • I play Switch games while on my treadmill. The split controller works perfectly for that and makes it easy to forget I'm walking.

  • Do you prefer inverted or uninverted camera, and what are your experiences with it in general?

    Jump

  • I only play inverted x and y, but I'm thinking of learning to play both non inverted since it seems to be supported universally, so I wouldn't need to worry about it.

    That said, I never understood why every modern game wouldn't support both being configurable.

  • The official Lord of the Rings special effects studio is making a cozy hobbit game

    Jump

  • I initially assumed "cozy" meant it would be a casual phone game which obviously would suck. But it's a Steam and console game, so I'm excited!

  • Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis turns Square Enix's best into an avalanche of money-grabbing tactics

    Jump

  • If I so much as see a daily reward or a separate currency or an in game store, it gets uninstalled. Those things are guarantees that it sucks.

  • Europeans, what is something that Americans have/do that makes no sense to you?

    Jump

  • Everything in this thread so far is normal stuff I could have guessed. Guns, metric, tipping, etc. Most of it has large groups of people in the country that agree, or at least know.

    What are some non-obvious things? Culture shock isn't about major political issues. It's about universal things that turn out to not be universal.

    For example, US people have a strong culture of how standing in line works. It's basically a moral sin to butt in line unless you have someone holding your place. This is universal in the country. My understanding is that other countries differ. Is that true?

  • SPELION: A TUI Spelling Bee Puzzle

    Jump

  • I assumed it was intentional.

  • When walking into something like a waiting room of your doctor, do you say hello to the people there?

    Jump

  • The trick is to just respond with "Hi" then look away. Conversation over.

  • What types of physical exercise do you enjoy the most?

    Jump

  • Playing Switch games while walking on a treadmill. I always found exercise boring before, but the split controller of the Switch makes it easy to play while walking.

    I have found I don't even notice I'm walking and look forward to it since I'm actually looking forward to gaming.

    Dark Souls while walking is the best. I've walked about 140 miles in the last month.

  • Switch 2 leaks claim console runs “like a PS5”, FF7R to be launch title & more - Dexerto

    Jump

  • Only thing I care about is that they keep the split controller design. It's the only controller I can easily use while walking on a treadmill. Holding a controller with two hands while walking is awkward. The split controller allows me to swing my arms normally.

  • I personally prefer silence over radio.

  • Starfield Leaker Allegedly Arrested, Revealed as Master Thief - Insider Gaming

    Jump

  • That's an excellent pun if that's what the writer intended, although it would work much better if he hadn't been so stupid about it.

  • When will all cable companies Only provide internet access?

    Jump

  • Everyone here is negative, but I don't know why cable didn't die 25 years ago when Netflix showed up. I certainly have not had any interest in it since then. Then again, I play games far more than I watch movies, so I am not a typical consumer.

  • Starfield Leaker Allegedly Arrested, Revealed as Master Thief - Insider Gaming

    Jump

  • In what way did he qualify as a Master Thief? He stole stuff from an assembly line then posted video about it under his own name. Sounds very non-masterly to me.

  • What do you use as bookmark

    Jump

  • Small sticky notes. That allows me to bookmark at a specific sentence rather than just the page.

  • Locked

    How old are you?

    Jump

  • Just celebrated my 111th birthday. Now I'm off to visit the Lonely Mountain again.

  • "Oliphant" by Lorenzo Colangeli

    Jump

  • I love any picture that shows a sense of scale like this. Not sure who the soldier is likely to be. Probably a random Gondorian who didn't sign up for this type of combat?

  • In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit

    Jump

  • Did you cross stitch this? It looks really nice!
