Kind of obvious, but Hades is largely just banger after banger, I especially love Good Riddance. No Escape is also a highlight, and the way it’s echoed and enhanced in God of the Dead is fantastic.

I do think the Wasteland 3 soundtrack doesn’t get enough love, I really enjoyed their takes on some classics.

I’ve got the Armor 21, giant speaker. Almost upgraded this year when the USB port died, but then I remembered the dock based charging that also exists for some unknown reason. Was looking at one of the Thermal options, just because they’re kind of neat, not that I really have a use case.

I just love that they take some random idea and make a crazy phone.

Ulefone’s got your back for weird phones.

Check out Type Help, text-based murder mystery.

My buddy Joe told me: “I will live and die on this hill.”.

imo.

Incoming Right-wing argument: since every cell in a person’s body dies in less than 7 years, by the time of the next term, no cell will have been alive having served the first term and therefore, it’s allowed. Or some other such nonsense, honestly, that’s probably too intellectual for them.

Technically, it’s not even that useful, it just proves someone with the name you’re claiming was born. It doesn’t prove it’s yours and, with the attack on birthright citizenship, it doesn’t prove you get to continue to be a citizen.

Is it bad that I just expect a split Right-wing vote just allows the Dems to slide even more right and still win?

So, states already have their list of registered voters, this is about culling people from that list the state doesn’t think should really be there (but really specifically those supporting the opposition of the party in power, typically Republicans removing minority groups).

The reason removing people is a real thing that needs to happen is that people aren’t permanent citizens of a state, they’re just residents, and what state they are a resident of for voting purposes is extremely easy to change, and doesn’t really require notifying the state you’re leaving, just the one you now want to be a resident of.

The reason this specific thing is bullshit is that every time anyone does any kind of check for non-citizens voting, it’s basically non-existent. Instead, they’re going to use the pretense of checking citizenship to check other information, which they’ll selectively find other discrepancies in to remove people who are registered, but are likely to support their opposition. Likely with little time before an election, so hopefully they don’t find out until it’s too late or other frictions cause them to forgo voting voluntarily.

When I started Chilluminati, I kept current on new episodes as they came out, and worked from the beginning otherwise.

Nah, you do all the setup so it looks like a decapitation video, but have the victim read out your advocacy speech instead of a ransom or whatever, then just end the video. Enough people will report it based on looks in the early segment that it’ll get flagged for review still, but it ultimately won’t be problematic.

Oh, let me have just a little bit of peril?

Signal used to be the best answer to this conundrum, since it would use its own internal protocols if it could or fall back to SMS if it couldn’t, unfortunately they decided to drop SMS support a few years ago, citing users that sent sensitive information not realizing they were using SMS (that always felt kinda flimsy). I really disliked this change, because it raised the difficulty of adoption, from just getting people to replace their default app with Signal to making them manage multiple apps.

Now though, you basically need to advocate socially for the change you want to see in the world. Anecdotally, I started using Signal when they still supported SMS to talk with 1 friend group, and eventually convinced most of my closest family groups to also use it, many after SMS support was dropped. Apart from 1 tech illiterate elderly couple and 1 extended family member, I haven’t received any personal (non-company related) text messages in like 5 months.

I’m a little disappointed that they looked at each of social media, phone use and video game use independently as part of the study and didn’t seem to consider any covariance. If you’re looking for which things are really associated, seems like it’d be helpful to see where they overlap.

I’d rather have any cop willing to do that sitting in a chair staring at a monitor than out in the streets armed, at least until they start to arm the drones …

Honest answer is probably that they intend to replace those dyes because people won’t buy the products if they don’t look appealing, and the food science, testing, sourcing, manufacturing changes and regulations all take some time. Sure, it might have been better to start years ago, but the 2nd best time to plant a tree is today.

Surprise attack on Ukraine?

I was comfortable in less than a week for gaming, it doesn’t have enough keys for typing.

If you actually just want a keyboard for typing words with rather than gaming, stop here.

Keyboards weren’t designed with gaming in mind, the layout is terrible, from WASD wasting the ability of your pinky and ring finger to totally wasting your thumb, there’s a ton of sideways or angled movement that’s just a little awkward. Even 4 directional key movement is such a waste, you dedicate the 4 easiest to use keys, but only use 1-2 at a time, and if you do need 2, it costs an extra finger. If you want a key entry device tailor made for gaming, you need to look at the Azeron Cyborg. Each finger has ergonomic access to 5-6 different keys with only slight movement (you could reasonably press 2 at the same time with 1 finger), while the thumb has access to 3 buttons as well as a hall effect thumbstick (map your WASD to this), all bindable however you’d like, including macros. Angles and distances of the device are also highly adjustable, so it can fit YOUR hand.

This kind of device is, in my opinion, as much an improvement over a keyboard as a mouse is over a thumbstick.

Disclaimer: This is an honest review, other than as a happy customer, I’m unaffiliated with the company. This is not intended to replace a keyboard for typing purposes.
