Comment on What game is your personal "Silksong"? in ~games
Daedalus_1 LinkThat game for me would be Gta V. I played every Gta before that, I got hyped up by all the teasers, and it did 100% live up to its expectations.

It was the reason back then I bought a PS3. And now I'm looking forward to 6 ;-)
Off topic, but what's the appeal in Silksong? Is it the graphics, the storyline,...?
I've never played any game of them but looking at gameplay videos, all I see is a good looking platformer. Convince me to try it out! -

I'm only 1.5 hours in the campaign, but I'm not sure if I'll finish it ever. Maps and objectives feel very linear, UI glitches, overall bugs (I can't remap the F2 key for some reason??). Furthermore, I've tried multiplayer but the lobby system is crappy, and it also crashed on me couple of times.
In summary: a typical EA-game. -

Daedalus_1 Link ParentSo then we both agree I guess? You can still keep looking at old DVD's/books of Harry Potter you already purchased. Just don't buy new stuff.So then we both agree I guess?

A lot of nice buildings from the past were built on slavery, you also don't enjoy looking at those?
I get what you're saying, but it's too hard to draw a line here. I'd say, just enjoy what she made in the past and be critical of her present/future work. -

Comment on ‘Paper or plastic?’ will no longer be a choice at California grocery stores in ~enviro

Just bring your own container and that's it. People kept raging about this for a year: "But what if I forgot to bring my own bag!?!???!!!". Now everyone's accustomed to it. Going to the store? Ok, bring the bags.

Daedalus_1 Link ParentA lot of these "compostable bags" are actually only to be composted by industrial setups, so yeah, some greenwashing magic going on here.A lot of these "compostable bags" are actually only to be composted by industrial setups, so yeah, some greenwashing magic going on here.
I'm still invested in the Jetbrains ecosystem (All products pack).
Obviously it's not perfect, and can be slow at times, but it's mostly a "batteries included" type of software, and I really enjoy using the exact same shortcuts through all their apps (PyCharm, Webstorm, Rider, AndroidStudio, DataGrip,...)
