Cannot wait for this, I wishlisted it immediately when I first saw a post about it over the weekend.

I’m one of the few that don’t work in tech but it’s arguably the hobby I spend the most time (and money) with so I’m not sure if I really count. I work in emergency management & specialized response services.

Seconding Zotero. I truly don’t know how I would be able to keep track of all the research I read through and reference. I especially love that I can highlight passages and attach notes to each entry right inside the desktop app.

The browser connector is also super handy for quickly adding papers to read-through at a later date.

Tom Francis (the dev behind TBW and many other great games) posted videos throughout the dev cycle of the game on his YouTube channel. They’re definitely worth a watch for anyone interested in game design/development.

Happy to see I’m not the only one who prefers raspberry jam! Imo it’s truly the perfect pairing

I completely agree, I really enjoyed D:OS II but I just haven’t been able to get into BG3 so far. I can’t say anything was bad or poorly accomplished but it’s just not clicking for me yet.

From the asbestos.com link someone else posted:

Asbestos exposure is the primary cause of pleural mesothelioma, a rare and aggressive cancer, but inhaling asbestos also multiplies a smoker’s risk of developing lung cancer fiftyfold or greater.

The carcinogenic risk of asbestos exposure and cigarette smoking is exponentially higher than the risk of each exposure added. This is known as the synergistic effect of asbestos exposure and smoking.

I mean the definition of crime is literally “an illegal act for which someone can be punished by the government”. So it being “technically illegal” is the basis for it being a crime or not.

I switched over to TickTick when Todoist suddenly changed their pricing model a few years ago. I don’t remember the specifics of what happened but I remember being very frustrated with the sudden changes as it would’ve required me to change my whole system.

I’ve been very happy with TickTick since then and would strongly recommend OP checks it out to see if it fits their needs.

Highly recommend cases by Fractal.

For self hosting I’d recommend either one of the Meshify 2 or Define 7, depending on local price and your specific needs. I personally went with the Meshify 2 XL and was blown away by the quality of the case. It’s built well and allows for a variety of configurations. It also makes maintenance very easy as the filters and side panels can all be removed without any tool to handle dust build up.

Seconding the recommendation for FreshRSS, it’s the one I ended up hosting when I looked into this a while back and it’s been really great. Takes a minute to get everything setup, especially if you want to have different settings for different types of feeds, but once it’s all set it’s perfect (for my needs at least).

I’ve also got it setup with my domain so I can access the feed from anywhere and that’s been one of my favourite features.

Such a fantastic song. Not at all surprising that it was the first piece of music from a video game to not only be nominated for but to win a Grammy.

Scrubs completely captured what it feels like to work in healthcare. It's the only medical TV show that I not only managed to finish but actually rewatch often.

I haven't read the article OP linked but this CBS article I read mentioned that the case was essentially dropped as prosecutors didn't feel good about it, but after Duane "Keffe D" Davis started doing talk shows and released his book, they felt the case against him got strong enough to prosecute.

I love that it's already been added to Valve Time.

The volumetric smoke grenades look really interesting. I've only seen the clips on their websites but it seems like a great way to add a bit more complexity to them.

I’ve always loved our toonie as well, the two different metals just looks so great. The black ones for remembrance of QEII are especially nice.

I personally have always loved our money in general, a lot of it stands out quite a bit. I do find it quite funny though that even with such unique physical money, we are one of the most cashless countries in the world.

I loved SCC, it was such a great show that didn’t get the attention it deserved.

I used to stream a bit back in the justin.tv days and I would usually only get a handful of viewers but even to this day, it was some of the most unique gaming experiences I had. I used to try and play games that no one was streaming/talking about and a couple of times I actually ended up with the devs watching the stream and those were such great memories.

One time, I played this flash game where you had timed “lives” and the dev was watching (without me knowing) when I ran out of lives. I mentioned I’d be going to play something else while I waited for my lives to come back and he sent me a DM telling me that he would go and remove the timer so I could keep playing if I wanted.

That being said, I haven’t streamed since then and I’m honestly not even sure how I’d start again. I don’t think I’d ever enjoy having a large audience but I definitely enjoyed playing with a few people helping out on what to do next.

Agreed, definitely excited to see what the revised tech tree does to the initial stage of a playthrough as well. This seems like a great way to make the game feel fresh and change up a player’s approach.
