I’ve got a pair of Blundstones, they’re great. I’ve had them for about six years now. They’re a bit scuffed but otherwise in perfect condition. They’ve shaped to my foot and are super comfortable. I’ve got another pair of Chelseas too from a brand I don’t remember, not a big name or anything but they are real leather, they’re also great too. If there wasn’t so much damn snow where I live I’d probably wear Chelseas all the time in the fall-spring. In the summer I wear Vessis (waterproof running shoes, company is Canadian which is why I bought them), they’re my absolute favourite footwear, but they’re obviously not appropriate for Canadian winters. My main winter boots are Sorels (also a Canadian company) and they’re the best winters I’ve ever had. The company has gone downhill a bit but they’re still good.

That cover of Spoonman at the end was actually pretty good.

You’re making good progress! There’s nothing more fun than obliterating a boss in NG+ that gave you trouble in NG.

Thank you! Yeah being a dad is incredible. I love babies and kids in general, but having one of your own is just so awesome. I just wish I could spend more time at home. I’m very jealous of my wife!

I loved Black Mesa when I played it. I never played the original believe it or not, and it was a great first experience.

Yeah I’m with you on that, I don’t have hardly any time these days for games. I’ve got a baby at home, and I’m up for a promotion to a management position so I’m extra busy at work right now trying to impress the bosses, which unfortunately means later shifts most of the time. That probably won’t go away much if I get the manager job, which is the one aspect I’m not looking forward to. Oh well.

If you’re using an Islay single malt for cooking I might join the Scotsman. I’m insulted and I’m not even Scottish.

Fair enough. I don’t know enough either way to have an educated opinion.

I’m not looking to be crucified by all of Lemmy.

Coding would be the issue for me. The rest I could probably do though if I really wanted to.

Did you figure out how the one you used a clue for made sense? My wife and I had to do it together and still couldn’t make sense of it. The rest was easy, but that one I couldn’t figure out on my own.

Thanks for doing this! I’ve had the game on my wishlist for a little while now, it looks pretty good. I hope whoever wins, whether it’s me or someone else, has fun with it.

Too bad I have absolutely zero idea how to make a game. Or an app. Or software at all, actually.

I mean, it’s still missing a bunch of important info, it’s just that it’s not saying anything incorrect necessarily. In general anyway I’d just always steer clear of LLMs though regardless of the situation.

-18°C for me. Fun times.

Now I want a calculator app that insults you the whole time.

On the Gardiner?? I call bullshit. Gotta be photoshopped or something.

As someone who actually knows a thing or two about automatic watches, I decided to give it a read. While the info is actually not as awful as I thought (no hallucinations surprisingly), I still would not recommend it as a guide, even if it were written by a human. Especially this part:

2.  Demagnetize:
If your watch suddenly starts running fast, have it demagnetized.

While, yes, a magnetized movement will cause it to suddenly run fast, demagnetizing a movement isn’t completely harmless. If you’re wrong and the movement isn’t magnetized and instead a different type of damage, attempting to demagnetize it will actually magnetize it, and the combination of a magnetized movement plus whatever other damage caused the movement to run fast suddenly could be far worse. I think an added disclaimer would be helpful here. There are ways to test if a movement is magnetized, that should be mentioned. Blanket recommending demagnetizing a movement without a disclaimer is dangerous. I know this is written by AI and not a human but that part really bugged me.

The blasphemer learns the truth and comes crawling back.

Just kidding. I totally get the allure of a new game and then getting disappointed to find out the game isn’t all that great. It’s why I’m such a big proponent of patient gaming. It really is the best way to go about it imo, and I’m not just saying that because I’m the mod here.

I love Elden Ring on NG+. Honestly any FromSoft game is great for NG+, it’s just so much fun.

Can confirm.
