My favorite movie is the Matrix (the first one). Gutted by what they did in the sequels.

Favorite genre is definitely Fantasy, love the world building in these movies.

It’s hard for me to believe that hunter / food seeker isn’t the oldest profession… But it’s definitely up there.

A couple of years ago, in Portugal, there were more couples looking to adopt than “viable” children up for adoption. While your statement makes total sense, it may be a insensible option on your country. Make due research!

Great question!

I really like when the games art immediately pulls players in. Everyone wants to play Flamecraft because the art work is so damn cute. Players are already engaged with the.gsme, before it even started.

Everdell is great too!

You may find it laughable but it is what it is. Most people does not enjoy signing up for specific product forums. It’s much easier to just add yet another discord server to the list.

That’s a very neat idea, to be honest. I hadn’t thought of that!

Unfortunately this doesn’t work in Portugal. Most sales people don’t have any sort of training in the products they sell and they are heavily pressured into selling services rather than products. Your budget is 200 euros? They’re going to try to suggest you a 100 euros product and then try to get you to buy extended warranty and/or insurance.

Thanks for sharing, I’ll definitely start asking there!

The mechanical keyboard topic was just an example. Because I’m kinda into mechanical keyboards, I can instantly spot the obviously bad recommendations. If the topic was something like microphones or washing machines, I’d be toast.

Their website says Temporarily sold out., one can only assume. Fingers crossed!

I only played the boardgame is ascension 0 and I feel like the experience is the same as playing the videogame in ascension 0. The early encounters are very easy and provide no challenge. Monsters in early encounters have 3-9 HP, each attack deals 1 HP. It gets more interesting in the second act.

The game provides you with a way to start the game immediately in the second act. You can skip the first act altogether if you don’t find it interesting.

Having free and open source software is not enough for some people. The dev needs to publish it in a Foss platform, use a Foss operative system, a Foss ide, mild political views. Free, quality and high maintained software is not good enough these days. /s

I don’t know how you read my comment and concluded that I approve racism or homofobia. It’s these kind of comments that push people away.

Vegan and non vegans are are at the opposite extremes. One only eats meat, the other never eats meat. You can’t insult people into your way. No one wants to have a conversation with you when you just randomly accuse them of homofobia. In your future attempt try going easier and with baby steps. People are more likely to stop eating meat if they take it one step at a time. This ridiculous expectation that someone must change their lifestyle over night or they’re racists… This isn’t the way, statistically speaking. But alas, this is a pointless discussion because you already know this and just want to fight with a stranger on the internet. Have a nice day.

This is not how you get people to join your ideas, this is how you push them away further.

That’s a very liberal use of the word “objectively”.

The problem is that Russia has far more resources than Ukraine and they have an upper hand in this war. They do not wish to leave empty handed. As sad as it is, for peace to happen Ukraine is going to have to lose something.

Putin already said he doesn’t want peace when the opponent has a shortage of ammo so this discussion is irrelevant anyway.

I wish we did more for Ukraine, it’s deeply saddening to see the news :(

The cost of making a new request for the rest of the news is higher than just returning the full news. The only use case where this makes sense is where news are behind a paywall and you just want to show a teaser to Anonymous readers.

I can’t go back to cheap headphones, really. It makes a BIG difference.

That reminds me, I do own a pine64 device! It was the first thing I got on Kickstarter.

It’s a Pine A64, with 2gb RAM. I wonder if it has enough power to run all those things. It’s a budget device from 8 years ago, probably gonna have a hard time but I’ll give it a try if I manage to find it!

Raspberry Pi was my first choice, but apparently I can’t even back order it :/
