This is one of those times where seeing it all written out feels redundant, but you know if those examples weren’t there people would be asking if one book cost £0.5.

blipcast@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Blue Prince - Have you played it? How blown is your mind?English7·2 months agoMy SO and I have been obsessed with this game for the past few weeks now. Unlike any other game I’ve played, this one makes you feel smart for remembering small details about things you spotted earlier, or when you look back on a note you took that is suddenly relevant.
That said, we are at a point now where we know roughly what we have to do, but we still need to slog through multiple days to get the rooms we want to appear.
We’ve built enough starting bonuses that reaching 46 isn’t really a challenge, so now the drafting just feels like a slog.
I think from here on out we’re going to be looking up hints just to get to the finish line. [Edit: spoiler tags aren’t working for me, removing them for now]
blipcast@lemmy.worldto Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Apparently a right-wing deacon said this31·5 months agoUnless there’s some context I’m missing, that business model sounds… reasonable?
What you’re describing just sounds like advertisement.
“Other people are assholes too” is a terrible reason to support an asshole. Expect better.
Thank you for posting this! I had a vague recollection there was something scummy about Brave, and I was surprised to see it recommended in so many of the “Which browser should I use?” posts. It’s really handy to have a chronical of bullshit like this to point to when it comes up
blipcast@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•A quarter of US shoppers have dumped favorite stores over political stances39·6 months agoI tried this out by searching for Amazon, and if this website was all you knew, you’d come away thinking it was a rather left leaning company, with a donation distribution of 68% Democrat and 32% Republican. That may or may not be true, but it ignores all of the hostile working conditions and anti-union behavior they are responsible for.
Just saying, don’t rely solely on this app for evaluating companies.
blipcast@lemmy.worldto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: This May Have Been Auto-Installed on Your Device Recently3·6 months agoThanks! Strangely this wasn’t showing up in searches within the app store for me, but it did turn up in settings.
blipcast@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I am required to pay taxes to the US government, not elon musk running a fraudulent government agency, why should I pay?3·6 months agoThis! Thank you! Apologies for getting the reason for the penalty wrong, but I have personally had to pay this and I was starting to feel gaslit. Turns out, when you go on unemployment, you should still withhold for taxes even if you feel like you need that money more while unemployed.
blipcast@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I am required to pay taxes to the US government, not elon musk running a fraudulent government agency, why should I pay?511·6 months agoThis is bad advice. The annual income you report on your taxes indicates how much you should have been setting aside throughout the year. Failing to do so can result in fines. There are exceptions for when your income increases part way through a year, but if you do what you describe, they WILL ding you for that.
blipcast@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•what was the last game you played in 2024?English3·8 months agoElden Ring, just beat the dlc and helped a few others do the same.
blipcast@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•And where did you get that info?English16·8 months agoI’m not saying you have to like Seinfeld or anything, but I wouldn’t consider it embarrassment comedy. It’s more about the gang being a bunch of sociopaths, like an early version of IASIP.
blipcast@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•No sex. No dating. No marriage. No children. Interest grows in 4B movement to swear off men2·9 months agoYeah, the whole concept of 4B only works if a vast majority of women are on the same page, and given the results from this election, they clearly are not.
blipcast@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Code sent to gmail while using gmail..!English46·9 months agoWhen you open the site via the Gmail app, go to the … menu in the upper right. You should have an option to open the site in your default browser, which should keep your session active when you get the code.
blipcast@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Linux Mint 22 released: An attractive option for migrating away from Windows | Windows 11 system requirements block millions of PCs from upgrading, while Linux Mint continues to work on older hardwareEnglish2·1 year agoThanks for the explanation. I’m sorry you had a bad experience working with them. Unfortunately, bad management and petty people problems don’t go away just because it’s open source. :(
blipcast@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Linux Mint 22 released: An attractive option for migrating away from Windows | Windows 11 system requirements block millions of PCs from upgrading, while Linux Mint continues to work on older hardwareEnglish6·1 year agoCould you elaborate on this? I’m still distro shopping and know basically nothing about Mint’s development history.
blipcast@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Salem hikes tour guide fee by 3,000% after surge of witch-enthusiasts flood town20·1 year agoIs the city council under the impression that tourists will arrive, fail to find a tour guide, then just shrug and go home? I agree that tourist congestion has gotten worse in recent years (a friend of mine recently moved, citing this exact reason), but this is going to do exactly nothing to stop it.
blipcast@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game - Official Announcement TrailerEnglish9·1 year agoIt looks like this is the first game made by Weta. That gives me a lot of confidence they will get the right tone for the game. Hopefully this will be like a chill Animal Crossing in Middle Earth.
When I read “the wife”, I read it as this. It feels impersonal, like you are intentionally distancing yourself from your spouse. Like, why would you do that unless you are literally Al Bundy?
I have cut off most mainstream social media from my life, also starting from the Reddit exodus. What strikes me from this post is the idea you are pursuing data privacy as a way to be “superior” to other people, and not only that, you separate yourself from this person by calling them a character. I dunno, it sounds like you are doing things for the wrong reasons.
I joined the fediverse because I saw the business models of the mainstream sites becoming more and more abusive and manipulative towards their users. Staying on those platforms just felt distasteful. If others want to stay there, that’s up to them. Weilding my social media cred over others like a cudgel just isn’t a factor.
This may be a point where you reevaluate what is important to you. You’ll drive yourself crazy if you try to adhere to what every privacy advocate online tells you to do. I recommend trying to make good privacy choices. When you have energy for it. And encourage others to do the same.
