Hearing about this got me to reevaluate whether I needed Prime and I ended up cancelling altogether. Just a heads up, if you cancel mid-subscription (I was on the yearly plan) you get the option to cancel service immediately and refund what you didn’t use. I was supposed to re-up in May and ended up getting $63 refunded.

What do you run textures at? I’m always on the lookout for the best SD1.0 setup for me.

I had a Thinkpad T440s that had a ridiculous battery life. I think I picked I picked it up on eBay for like $300 4 or 5 years ago. I tinkered with it and ended up breaking it and didn’t have time to put it back together/fixed up but that thing was a dream. I have a “desktop replacement” PC that’s huge and unwieldly and I wish I just kept my T440s with an upgraded display and like 4 days of battery life.

Hey, you do you. My days of slamming things I don’t like are over. Not everything’s made for me and I accept that but there are definitely similartities I can draw between the two. I told my brother that I don’t mind the off-the-wall goofy episodes when the What-If machine is involved but the knee-jerk transitions between actual episode and goofiness just isn’t for me. Glad there’s a new season and that there’s an audience for episodes like that though!

I watched half way, got PTSD from season 10 and put on s1e1 and fell asleep. I’ve liked this season so far, being fan since literally 1999 (holy shit…) but I couldn’t make it through this episode. It was Naturama all over again.

I felt similarly. Exploring is just another thing to “do” to get credits/nanites. It was cool to see genuinely new things like the huge Dune-styled worms but once you see one you’ve seen them all.

That extends to base building too. I have no reason to build a base anywhere else in the galaxy once I have a capital ship that does all my crafting for me. Except resource collecting, I guess. But meh, different strokes for different folks. I don’t think there’s been a non-MMO continually-updated game that I’ve come back to as often as NMS but coming back is usually pretty short-lived.

I’m out of the loop on this one and I’m probably the minority here but big banks would probably incorporate this whole WEI thing but wouldn’t smaller institutions like credit unions opt out? I apologize for my ignorance, I haven’t looked into this at all. This is the first time I’m hearing about WEI and I’m trying to garner some sort of and idea of what it is via comments rather than reading an article about it like a regular human being.

I have a Kindle paperwhite without ads, worth paying extra imo. I use Calibre to convert any books I “find” to mobis and send via email through Calibre. I’ve also done this with manga and it’s been working well. Loves me my paperwhite.

I guess you’re right, hahaha!

Same! Didn’t even realize I had a bunch of replies to this comment til just now. Feels good to be free.

Gristle - Thanks for the recommendation!

Yup! Same here. Had someone recommend kbin on mastodon so I made my way here. Deleted 2 10+ year old Reddit accounts and cut all ties. I went in anonymously to check out what happened with that submarine but otherwise cut all ties. The amount of my life I’ve taken back by dropping that site is incredible. I didn’t realize how much of my time was spent doomscrolling there. Now I’m playing guitar, playing games and building web dev projects with all the time I’m saving. I never got into Twitter but from my understanding a lot of people have had my same experience dropping that site too.
