    The biggest pollutants are these companies, not us

    Have you considered having a 42" screen on 4k? That works the same as 4 1080 monitors at the same time. With 2k you could find a really nice one

    I've been playing MH since freedom unite on the PSP, and boy life was harder back then. Nothing was taken for granted, and in my opinion that made a beautiful game were you had to farm, hunt, memorize combinations, and overall have a great time.

    Newer games, as I see it, had to be made easier to appeal to western markets, and that's sad but there is now a huge amount of players online and that's really cool.

    Having a girl is not success it itself but an indirect marker of success.

    I waited for D3 for years and my disappointment was unmeasurable. Felt too straightforward and almost no substance, compared to D2.

    Things will be more amusing when you start seeing things in 3, which is the prequel for everything.

    I mean, you could start with the MSX ones to get the story but it gets kinda recounted in 1, 2 and so on.

    I'm looking to improve my coding skills, and took on a small project to practice/showcase what I'm reading and learning about.

    I'm building a timer for my archery club in Typescript, so the webpage can be shown in a screen setup in the range so people can see the time left, without having to buy an expensive official timer. To be used only in non official tournaments and practice of course

    The IT company I'm working for went full remote at the start of the pandemic, even trashed plans to move to a new cooler shinier building at that time.

    There is no need for anyone to be in the office when all the work ends up in the cloud anyways.
