Aww, you’re adorable. I will buy the games closer to Christmas for everyone, my reading tells me that if I buy the game and the person does not accept the gift then they will give me a refund, so I imagine you won’t get the money until everyone accepts.

This is super cute! If I buy these now for my friends and family but set it to deliver the gift near Christmas, would you get the money now? Or not til Christmas?
This looks perfect for when everyone is over on Christmas eve! <3

But please don’t spend money on my previous games, I recognize that they aren’t that good I don’t want to burden anyone financially with them (I loved every minute of making them, but I was still a noob back then).
You’re not my mum! I bought Be a Rock anyway. Keep going, make games!
I believe in you!

I don’t use a controller, but I bought two copies for friends that do! Keep going, make more games, add features! (Like maybe keyboard controls for us dinosaurs.)
I believe in you!

- Comment on Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second 1 month ago:
Yup. When we went to buy a TV I knew this was happening because the smart TVs with wifi and extra hardware and software were cheaper than the dumb TVs. Nothing is free, I knew they had to be doing this shit.
- Comment on Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code 1 month ago:
I bought Red Dead Redemption for myself and three friends, super excited about the game, the lore. I had never spent that much money on a game.
We all played through the single player tutorial, and finally into the open world. We meet up and begin exploring and trying to complete quests when suddenly one of us just … drops dead.
Then another is hit by a meteor and caught on fire?
I am thrown up into the sky.
An alien ship?! Appears and messes with us for a while. I try begging in pub chat for the hacker to please leave us so we can play, which seems to goad them further. This continued for an hour.
A quick look around the internet told us that this was par for the course for RDR and GTA and Rockstar couldn’t/wouldn’t do anything about it.
We ended up refunding all the games through steam. Sad times.

- Comment on Private voting has been added to PieFed 2 months ago:
I missed the discussion on voting the other day it seems, but for what it’s worth, I like the voting system. In real life discussions happen in open air, and don’t hang there in posterity for people to stumble upon after. When we come to a consensus in conversation it is then left at that and we move on.
When online, these discussions stay as they are, and I think voting gives a way of people to come to a consensus, to leave a mark upon the conversation such that the people who come behind understand how everyone felt about it.
This is helpful I think, because it does not hide the down votes on nasty comments or ideas that hurt others.
One of the most interesting and horrible things about the internet is that every village has a “crazy Bob” but because they were the minority the good of the people outnumbered their outlandish or hateful ideas.
Now they can and do find each other online, forming a vocal and damaging minority. Without the majority able to show their dislike, human nature means more will fall in line with them and their ideals.

I had no idea that methane was released with coal mining! That is pretty horrifying.
- Comment on YSK that the recommended daily fiber intake is 25g for women and 38g for men in the USA. 95% of the country does not meet this amount. 3 months ago:
I think so, yes. At least from a taste and texture standpoint, it is waaaay better. Psyllium husk (Metamucil) changes the texture of drinks and foods, causing them to congeal into a viscous gel.
Benefiber does not change the texture of the food or drink and is odourless and tasteless.
I will note however, after a quick google just now, that Metamucil was shown in a study to lower cholestrol while Benefiber did not.
For me though, it’s all about what changes I can make and stick to, and something that changes texture is very hard for me to get down.

Same! First cup of coffee every day is the powder cup, goes in with the splenda. :)
- Comment on YSK that the recommended daily fiber intake is 25g for women and 38g for men in the USA. 95% of the country does not meet this amount. 3 months ago:
We highly recommend Benefiber for anyone. It is tasteless, doesn’t change the texture of your food or drink, and can be added to almost anything.
I think many people avoid adding fiber to their diets because it requires a change in diet or a supplement that is often gross.

I hope he is home with his family soon, he did what was right no matter the cost, and our laws should have protected him.

- Comment on Small dogs are a big problem for posties, as Australia Post reports over 55 attacks a week 4 months ago:
This is why many of our packages weren’t delivered. We have a low front gate with a latch, and we have had many parcels taken to the post office without a delivery attempt.
After calling aupost for the umpteenth time, they have told me that their drivers have been instructed to not enter any sort of gate because of dog attacks, unless they know the house and that there is not a dog.
The second line of our address for everything now says “NO DOGS! Thank you!” and since doing that no problems.

- Comment on Despite Microsoft's push, Windows 11 and Edge see decreases in user share 7 months ago:
Yup. I got a new laptop with win11 and dutifully tried to get used to it. I ended up installing win10 pro by the next day, and even that I modify to behave a bit more like I expect. Maybe we are just old?
- Comment on A generation of renters are staring down poverty in retirement unless something drastic changes 7 months ago:
Maybe see if there is someone you can connect with in your local foster caring community. Most foster parents are long term and take many children temporarily through the years. Perhaps you could give your house to a younger fostering couple that rents currently, or put it into a trust to be used as a group home?
If you are near a hospital or cancer center, you could leave the house to be used as a place for families to stay near sick or dying loved ones.
Either way, its a beautiful thought you have, I hope you find a way to make it happen. <3
- Comment on Inside the quota-driven culture that boosted police searches from 88 to 550 a day 7 months ago:
Does anyone know the law regarding interactions with police in Australia?
I have a teenage daughter, she is a typical nerdy red headed girl into reading and such, so unlikely to be profiled for a search, but shit happens.
She also has Autism, and doesn’t do super well with new situations under pressure. Usually we need to talk about what will happen and what we are likely to do beforehand and she’s fine.
Can she refuse to be searched by police? Can she ask to be taken to the station to be searched by a female officer? What happens if she says no to them searching her bag or pockets?

- Comment on A Woman Was Arrested For A DUI. Turns Out She Was Having A Stroke 8 months ago:
I don’t know exactly what your wife is sensitive to, but I had a similar reaction to drugs that shouldn’t have done a thing to me. No one in my life has ever told me about pharmacogenetic testing, the ONLY reason I ever heard about it is because my new GP used to be a pharmacist.
I tell everyone about it now. You know all those friends who spent a year or two trialing different mental health meds to find one that worked? What if they could just get this test and immediately knock off any that they won’t react to and be forewarned about any they might be sensitive to? It’s amazing!
- Comment on A Woman Was Arrested For A DUI. Turns Out She Was Having A Stroke 8 months ago:
Going to chime in where I wasn’t asked here just to give you a new avenue - look up pharmacogenetic testing. It’s expensive, but one blood test and they can tell you which medications you rapidly metabolize or don’t metabolize at all - I found out a common OTC acid reflux med can make me really ill. I also rapidly metabolize certain anti depressants, which explained why I was completely out of it on 1/4 tablet. It also let me know which ones are safe. Your wife might be a rapid metabolizer of some of these meds and not even know it!

Yes, most of the pre-paid carriers I have checked have more expensive 5g plans. I am with aldi mobile which does.
- Comment on Waymo issued a recall after two robotaxis crashed into the same pickup truck 8 months ago:
I still don’t understand how these are allowed. One is not allowed to let a Tesla drive without being 100% in control and ready to take the wheel at all times, but these cars are allowed to drive around autonomously?
If I am driving my car, and I hit a pedestrian, they have legal recourse against me. What happens when it was an AI or a company or a car?

- Comment on Why Everyone Should Still Use an RSS Reader in 2024 9 months ago:
Have you tried imagus, hoverzoom or thumbnail zoom? It has changed the way I internet. Hover your mouse over almost any image, video, or gif and it automatically opens and shows the full size. I have been using imagus on firefox for ages and quite like it. It doesn’t work with some websites or apps, and probably wouldn’t work with an installed app, but should work for one of the rss web apps?
Please disregard if this is a silly suggestion, I have always been curious about rss feeds, but have never actually used one.
