  • Neva | Release Date Trailer | Coming October 15

  • I’ve tried Hollow Knight 3x now and given up on it. I just can’t get into it for some reason. Loved Ori and the Will of the Wisps. HK goes in the bucket with Outer Wilds, universally loved games that didn’t click for me.

  • Debtors' Club, a narrative driven, roguelite-style, city tax department management game, with a nice hand-drawn art style, released on Steam

    Jump

  • Love that the art style reminds me of a grown-up version of Rugrats. Looks interesting and fun. I’ll have to wishlist it for the current price.

  • Gris and Monument Valley hold very special places in my heart. This looks really promising.

    Edit: for the sake of discussion, after looking at some of the comments on the vid. Any other games that fit this niche? Someone said:

  • I don’t even want to imagine the environmental studies and hurdles they’ll have to jump through to artificially alter an areas day/night cycle. There’s a laundry list of environmental concerns that I’m sure any homeowner or eco-activist worth their salt would jump on. Not to mention glare and impacts to air traffic, on and on.

    Would make my solar panels pretty darn effective though. Would probably be great for SAD in winter too. Clever idea. Not sure I can get behind it though.

  • Whenever I have to brave the Google abyss, I usually use Startpage. Obviously uBlock Origin but if I can avoid being bombarded by devious and distracting ads altogether, I’d rather that.

  • True but I see this more as a critical thinking problem - which is pervasive in our society and worsened by the tech bubbles. People should want to seek out information that both argues for and against a topic.

    The way our education systems work now, at least in the US, that method of thinking only begins around college and varies widely by academic pedigree.

  • I took for granted how my family prioritized this kind of happiness for me as a kid. We were solidly blue collar, middle class but somehow they always, ALWAYS got me the complete lineup of the PR action figures when they came out, even when they were sold out. Maybe those 3 am Black Friday mad dashes.

    My cousins and friends, who couldn’t afford such “luxuries,” would get upset at me that I didn’t appreciate what I had. In retrospect, I didn’t. What I lacked in emotional warmth and acceptance, they gave to me in torrents in gifts.

    Sorry for the gloom. Power Rangers holds a very special place in my childhood.

  • Having just rewatched DS9 for the Nth time (wife’s first), it still really pisses me off how they offed her. Man I missed Jadzia in S7.

  • People who use Adguard home or pie hole along with a vpn at router level, do you use any firewall apps on your phone aswell?

    Jump

  • I don’t run VPNs at the router level. The speed and latency hit, plus the spambot triggers aren’t worth it for me. This is purely a non-privacy minded preference, mind you, and I’m totally not an expert.

    You bring up a good point though. Regardless of what’s running upstream, if my device is running private relay, it all gets bypassed. So I have to disable private relay.

    My preference is to run nextdns over DoH, AdGuard locally on iOS + Stop the Madness, and a VPN when I’m feeling sheepish.

    Jump

  • On iOS, I’ve tried quite a few combinations and I’ve gotten feedback from users with others.

    When I ran pi-hole or AdGuard home, I also used AdGuard on all my iOS devices - both the DNS pseudo-VPN and safari extensions cause otherwise ads would sneak in. The Adguard app removes the annoying ads from Apple News and NYT apps.

    Now I just use NextDNS and the same AdGuard iOS app setup.

  • Password length requirement

  • The number of government websites that I’ve encountered with this “limitation.” Even more frustrating when it’s not described upfront in the parameters or just results in an uncaught error that reloads the page with no error message.

  • Women's accessories sold by Shein, Temu and AliExpress contained toxic substances sometimes hundreds of times above acceptable levels, authorities in South Korea found

    Jump

  • I was going to binge purchase off Temu at one point - inexpensive junk stuff to tickle my fancy. But in good conscience, I just couldn’t. It’s wasted money on stuff I don’t trust made by exploited workers or knocked off patents that ends up in a landfill.

    Would I confidently let my kids play with the toys and tchotchkes? I don’t even buy stuff for them from Amazon cause of all the counterfeit and toxic crap. I know some consumers have to be extra price conscious. It sucks that they’re relegated to crap quality products that are less durable and essentially more disposable (not to say that better quality junk isn’t disposable junk in modern times).

  • Oh! I’ll have to watch that. Hadn’t realized Apple toys with this theme quite a bit. Constellation had so much promise but it flamed out for me. Severance might be tangentially related with the theme, compartmentalized lives, being equally fascinating.

    Mr. Robot and Counterpart did things to my brain questioning reality.

  • Yup. I quit everything but Reddit several years back without a second thought in all that time because I lived in a big metropolitan city.

    Now I live in a small suburb where all the towns and businesses post to FB, neighbors have tradeposts and active interest groups on there, the schools and Police post info there too. My wife has connected to “friends” we otherwise wouldn’t exchange info with.

    All that has had me wanting to create a new account - just to connect. I was completely ignorant to the role it plays outside of big cities beforehand. Nextdoor is a really crappy alternative.
