We used to do this as kids growing up on the seaside when going to see the sunrise.

Hello, due to some unfortunately circumstances I need to have my left hand in a cast for some time and I'm looking for recommendations for games I could play only using my right hand (so only using the mouse). I have a few in my library that I've already been playing like Super Auto Pets and Let's Revolution, but I'm a bit bored of them. I also tried a tower defense game called Super Sanctuam TD, which was in my library, so I've tried looking for some other TD games but couldn't find anything that caught my eye.
Edit: I only listed what I've played recently, but I don't really want to limit myself to any genre, the only requirement is to be playable only with the mouse.

tildin Link ParentI think they mentioned he owns the rights to Cold take and in that case it should be returning, but with a "fresh coat of paint".I think they mentioned he owns the rights to Cold take and in that case it should be returning, but with a "fresh coat of paint".

I believe an intermission would've allowed me to enjoy the movie much more.
I also saw Oppemheimer and enjoyed, but have the same opinion about its length.

I guess the proper term would be rugs now that I think about it. A really big rug.

My parents have a few carpets and over the years I've helped them with "washing" which would mean removing them and taking them to a cleaning service. Hardest parts was lifting all the furniture to remove the carpets.

On the topic of "words that don't exist", every time German is brought up (or any other language where you just mash words together to get a new one) I kinda roll my eyes. Sure, it's ot one word in English, but that's mainly because of the way the language works.

Comment on I'm working on a mobile app for Tildes: Three Cheers for Tildes! in ~tildes
tildin Link ParentI am the same. Often I would want to browse Tildes but I'm just not used to a Web browser being the thing I use for browsing a "news aggregator" on my phone - I always use a dedicated app. However...I am the same. Often I would want to browse Tildes but I'm just not used to a Web browser being the thing I use for browsing a "news aggregator" on my phone - I always use a dedicated app. However I fully agree that the UI of the site is perfectly usable on mobile (of course there is place for improvement, but there would always be), so really what I personally need is just a different icon, that's dedicated to Tildes on my phone and a PWA would be able to do that.
Thay being said I would instantly install the alpha as soon as I know it's here. I've been a RIF user since I've had a phone that can install it.

Comment on Reddit is Fun, Apollo, BaconReader, and other third-party Reddit apps have officially shut down in ~tech
While carbon offsets can and have been used by many people to "buy out" of being more mindful of how their activities contribute to the worsening climate situatuin, in this specific case I tend to trust the Jet Lag guys a but more.
Here's a video by them going into detail about some of the problems with carbon offsets - https://youtube.com/watch?v=AW3gaelBypY
Because of this I believe they've done their research and are not just intending to greenwash their activities by putting up the carbon offset counter. And while I do agree that not emitting is infinitely better than trying to be "net zero" by buying offsets, this is not feasible in all cases (I mean they could just not.make the show, but at that point... you get the idea)
