  • I mean, i have a lot of notifcations on my phone...

    Mainly Discord, Whatsapp, and text messages.

    Just about everything else gets either silenced, or turned off.

  • Is anyone even still doing the boycot? I havent seen any news about it in a long while. all i know is im still going

    Jump

  • Its stopped being a boycot for me, and a style of life. I still buy far fewer American products than i used to, and always check where its made.

  • and i dont get how the Iron Giant is so low, its chest mounted cannon was basically a nuke launcher.

  • My driving instructor included #2 in the lessons a decade (or 2) ago

    You lost power steering and power breaks, so car was heavy but steerable. Goal was to put it back in neutral, start the car, and drive off

    TLDR, keep calm and carry on.

    Jump

  • fair enough, i could search for them... just feels a lot more akward then most other ways, when they are integrated into the keyboard or chat. even here on Lemmy, there is an emoji button!

  • On steam, not matrix.

    I just don't see any emojis or gifs via steam chat, other than their own ones you need to buy from their store.

  • i really hate the lack of emotes, limited emojis, and things like posting links and photos doesn't work for us nearly as well as discord, with the links often not loading, or the images coming in rotated.

    it works, but it feels like an afterthought, which i guess it is.

  • How do you compare that to Discord? my friendgroup moved to Steam Chat, and thats... not great.

    I was leaning more towards Stoat

  • Chocolate eclipse

    It's like a cake, that before you put it in the oven you pour boiling water on the dough, but it ends up with a thick pudding bottom and a chocolate top. Love it

  • imagine if each time, to kill the boss, you had to pay $1.

    You pay $1, watch your avatar hit the boss once, and it immediatly explodes into a shower of common, uncommon, and mayber a rare... Drat, no epics.

    Better throw another $1 in.. and another $1.

    $25 in, you get a rare! great, you can throw that on the AH for $20 worth of currency... so you better 'reinvest'...

  • Have you found an actually practical use of or place in a workflow of yours using an LLM?

  • I LOVED OW1, played it endlessly, went to live OWL, bought merch.

    The day OW2 came out is the last day I played a blizz game. Woulda paid for it, no interest in a GAS game.
