Comment on The tiny details in Red Dead Redemption 2 you weren't meant to notice in ~games

Thankfully that has never really been the point. It's just there were so many enemies to kill in RDR2, and the old timey weapons mean you mostly have to do it one at a time.

Unfortunately I put off playing RDR2 for the longest time because I'm just not into cowboys, so when I did finally play it I just blazed through the story, which was truly incredible, but even at that pace I was so tired of rockstar's lackluster gunplay by the end I was happy it was over. I also hated the prologue but forced myself through it hoping for some closure.
Anyway the point is I definitely didn't notice any small details like this but I do truly appreciate Rockstar putting in the effort.

I moved away for college and got invited to a birthday party at a hibachi place and tried sushi on a whim and holy fuck sushi is so good. I am sorry you have to miss out on that.

Being an MS exclusive I have to imagine most people played it via gamepass, myself included, and didn't buy it. I'm certainly glad I didn't buy it. The game is completely soulless.

Comment on A site explaining every known juggling trick in ~creative
PraiseTheSoup LinkThis reminds me of the shoelace-tying website someone posted a week or so ago. A relic of the past.

A website that hasn't been monetized to the gills and actually provides legitimate information. I love stuff like this. It reminds me of the internet of the early 2000s.
Unfortunately I can't juggle at all.

Comment on Wired vs. wireless mouse and keyboard? in ~tech
PraiseTheSoup Link ParentIf you're using an Xbox controller and running the Xbox dashboard on windows then you will get the same notification (audio and visual) that Xbox users see when their controller battery is low,...I get a notification sound beforehand on Bazzite (IIRC nothing similar on Windows, it would just die).
If you're using an Xbox controller and running the Xbox dashboard on windows then you will get the same notification (audio and visual) that Xbox users see when their controller battery is low, which usually means I have at least a half hour before it dies. I'd be pretty surprised at this point if there isn't something similar baked into windows, but I can't say for sure.

Comment on Wired vs. wireless mouse and keyboard? in ~tech
PraiseTheSoup Link ParentI see your point with the keyboard, but my wireless devices use regular AA batteries and so I just put rechargeables in them. The battery still lasts plenty long, and I have no cords of either kind.I see your point with the keyboard, but my wireless devices use regular AA batteries and so I just put rechargeables in them.

Comment on Winter storm across the US in photos in ~enviro
PraiseTheSoup LinkI live in Minnesota and for us it's just been really, really cold, like highs of -15°F and lows in the -30s. But we're used to it, it's business as usual here.

Anyway, I use firefox with ublock and read AP articles all the time, but recently I sent one to my girlfriend and when I asked later if she had read it her response was, "that website was barely usable, what kind of shady links are you sending me?"
So I tried it on chrome and she's right, it's absolutely awful. Just chock full of popups and ads. How is this acceptable for the AP?
She is extremely reluctant to switch from chrome, but we all know chrome no longer allows ad blockers because they hate their users. Is there anything else to be done?

I agree though. My parents main computer for the last several years was an early 2010s macbook that I installed Windows 7 on. We had to retire it this past summer when the battery suddenly became a spicy pillow.

Comment on How Norway accomplished a near-total electric vehicle transition – almost 100 percent of new cars registered in November were electric in ~transport

I've never been to Norway but I imagine they have a very similar climate. Obviously, this proves they can work just fine in winter. I wish every Minnesotan would see this article. Heck, a huge number of Minnesotans will proudly claim Norwegian ancestry, if only they had Norwegian sensibility as well.

Comment on Highguard | Official launch showcase in ~games

I have enjoyed the movies, and I watched the Sonic cartoon religiously as a kid, but I've never liked the games. I'm not sure if I can be considered a fan or not.
