You’re not wrong; but the main point is the largest word is closest to you. In this case I think it’s best to be able to read ‘bike’ before ‘lane’ without taking too much time off the road ahead. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There’s no way it’s at the ping you set it to. I’ve been visiting the Harbor for years and that’s not what it looks like. I’d wager it’s Niguel near the Ritz based on fencing, but I didn’t frequent that area as often.

I can’t even open your ping (edit to add I meant street view not the ping itself), but I know the area to have a much more level topography. Besides extra vegetation and buildings. Was there anything in particular that made you think it was in the Harbor? Or did you just assume?

It is, but also isn’t. Dana is actually more bike friendly than other places in CA than I’ve experienced. It’s a coastal town that has quite a few teens riding through. I grew up there and never saw anything like this. Not to say it isn’t possible, but I do also think it unlikely

Most, if not all, traffic lane identifiers are written this way in CA. Bottom to top for ease of easy comprehension. I read ‘Bike’ first so it’s quicker that I’m aware it’s not a turning lane for example

Really weird seeing your hometown online. Dana Point, CA

You’re absolutely amazing! Any team you fancy? I’d like to keep my tradition of following the team of the person who introduces me to the sport haha.

Really appreciate the links! Always enjoy learning new things and you’ve provided a great starting point.

Thanks for sharing! I had no idea this had happened and read it all with a smile on my face. We watch a lot of baseball in the house, but now I’m keen to see cricket at the Olympics

bbno$, Doja Cat, and Helen Mirren. All in my DMs

I think it’s a combo of the two. I watch a lot of panel shows and the first thing that comes to mind is pandemic filming. It actually was a bit awkward at first not to have the studio laugh because it was traditionally filmed with a live audience. That’s still half an argument as certain shows will have cues for the audience.

At the end of the day we are very social animals and appreciate feeling emotion together so if we find something funny/scary/exciting we get positive feedback when others around us (at least sound like) they feel the same. It’s the main reason a decent amount of people enjoy going to the movies.

This will fall flat when laugh tracks are added over frequently; but when used properly (and with actually good jokes) they encourage the audience to fully engage.

Imagine the embarrassment of being the only person to clap/laugh/scream at a performance; thats the intended buffer for ‘canned’ responses.

Edit; when I started this comment there was only one response. What I cover was also brought up by other commenters, but I’m slow at typing while I’m sleepy (RIP)

Shout out to Aleph One which has the trilogy for all platforms, open source. You can also snag it on iOS for free

Edit; oh, looks like it’s Aleph One that’s publishing it on steam. Wonder if it’ll be free there as well.

I had got Stardew a while ago but got overwhelmed by all the things I had to do. I realize that the game lets you do them at your own pace, but the amount to do felt overwhelming. I recently got some mods that improved some QoL stuff and finally passed the first year. Shane’s arc in particular was really impactful for me as someone who’s battled with alcoholism and self-loathing, but all the villagers helped me feel less alone during isolation

Thanks for the heads up! I’m still trying to retrain myself on ReVolt and this looks like an extension of that. Looking forward to trying it out

Yeah, there’s this weird agism I’ve seen. Maybe they think the ‘young people’ (30 years in this case) are bragging? I just view it as someone adding their context, nothing abhorrent ¯\(ツ)/¯

Gonna give it a try tonight with some of the demos. Should figured it was better haha

Edit; gave it a try, can’t speak towards performance but the interface alone is a huge plus. Loading into the actual steam environment feels faster. Since it runs as a native oculus app you don’t get that awful ring around your waist when fiddling with Oculus settings.

There have always been ways to link up your Quest headset and Steam library, but these have rarely been wireless, or as simple as downloading an app and entering a pairing code. Now, the VR marketplace has opened up entirely, and it’s all thanks to the Steam Link app.

What are they talking about? I’ve been using airlink only for the last 2 years. And it is as simple as downloading the Oculus app and confirm a pairing code.

Meta exclusives can Fuck all the way off though, I only buy my VR games on Steam. Meta has demonstrated they can and will remove titles you paid for and installed.

I desperately want a steam deck for comfy jrpg gaming. I prefer my action/adventure/FPS to be on desktop, yet also find turn based a bit slow while at my desk. Don’t have the funds, so I just hacked my vita instead haha

Yeah, I had the same issue back in the day. I was playing on mobile though (by far my least favorite way) so I think I’ll give it another go. ‘And We Got Older’ has been in my library since I first played, so at least the OST is banger

What’s the trouble with moopsy?

From what I understand, Ubisoft received a grant from the Singapore government that basically mandates this game be published, as opposed to the recent Hyenas cancelation.

Relevant quote;

The company, in exchange for generous subsidies, is required to hit a certain hiring quota and launch original IPs in the next few years, making it imperative that the title gets shipped by hook or by crook – final look notwithstanding.
