    I got 4-ish degrees off the latitude and 3-is ish longitude! That's quite a range. And I actually see my coords all the time in the weather app, I really just blank on them

    Had a surprise invite to a fine dining restaurant and had my first tasting menu with some really wild stuff. Was a great experience, too expensive to repeat anytime soon, but definitely will go again

    It's not a remaster or remake at all, just mostly engine stuff so the game runs fine on modern hardware, so no worries there, at least

    I think all the big names just use a minimally rebranded orcaslicer, it makes sense for it to work just fine by itself

    Yay! One more step forward! (Sidenote, I had to double-check the Prime Ministers name... That's an unfortunate name to have in the current times)

    This was such a sad story

    It made me think of my mom... While I think it was a love match, or at least a consensual match, taking care of her in her old age revealed a lot of things that made me think she would have been much happier if a divorce had ever happened. Sadly never came to pass, and I don't know if she ever even thought about it. But those last few years with her have really affected how I see relationships and the prospect of marriage

    I've got a Centauri Carbon, and am overall satisfied, but the company has had it's share of controversy regarding software. There's an open source firmware alternative for it, at least! And it works nicely. I'm still using the slicer soft from the company, but it's basically rebranded orcaslicer

    Isn't that one of the things they want to change with Hytale? Adding actual stuff to buy?

    While I'm still coming to terms with things and discovering myself, I'm mostly an average cis male person.... And I've got a couple of nice gypsy skirts that I can't wait to wear, though (because Europe and self-confidence) it's probably only going to be at home and in a festival environment.

    But who knows what the future holds! It's exciting, and this thread has been full of interesting reading

    Minecraft. Whether vanilla or modded, on a server or single player depends on the mood, but there's something magical about the early hours of Minecraft that always has a great effect on my mood

    I'd like to add my voice to the no Incendium votes... I like the vanilla nether. It's considerably better than it was years ago. I don't have strong feelings on building on the roof, aside from it probably locking me out of several farms because I don't have the time to dig out or spawn proof areas of the nether.

    Rails and travel within the actual nether is the way to go, keep just farms on the top.

    November feels like a good time to me, but my gaming moods are volatile enough I might be stuck in a different game at the time. I'll happily join (being pinged again for the launch would be amazing, pls&ty) when it happens.

    Neat, but nobody is going to eat it. Great to have another plastic alternative, though!
