- Comment on Any good Android games that aren't roguelikes? 5 days ago:
I use Mini Review for most of my android game finding. I find that if they give an overall score of 8 and above, I almost always like the game.
I’m currently enjoying the idle clicker Magic Research 2 It doesn’t feel like most idlers. There’s monsters to fight that need some strategy and a pretty good plot where I actually read everything! Most games have plot that is so boring and rehashed that it’s not worth reading, but Magic Research 2 was a lot of fun. I played the demo a bit and bought the full version before running into whatever limits were in the demo.

Is this better, worse, or the same as throwing dildos at female WNBA athletes?

Incompatible with life in Canada. Most cold countries I’d assume.
- Comment on Making the most of a totally dead cabinet corner? 2 weeks ago:
Oh wow, I have the exact same setup, with the same airfryer in that corner. When we bought the house, it already had a blind corner cabinet pullout. When you open the cabinet door, it pulls to the side with storage attached to the door and pulls out what is kept in the corner. Pretty cool. Here’s a picture of something similar as I can’t find the exact one.

- Comment on Apple sues YouTuber who leaked iOS 26’s new “Liquid Glass” software redesign 4 weeks ago:
Kinda reminds me of Windows Aero, but with Grey as your main colour.
- Comment on Why do you think I USE search operators? 5 weeks ago:
I really hate that search engines feel like they have to return a bunch of results no matter what, like the Google Play Store. Even if they don’t have what you want, they’ll give results for what they think is similar, and just ads. It’s infuriating looking through results trying to find if the thing you’re looking for is buried in a bunch of useless stuff.
- Comment on What are some great retro games that I can play with my 5yo? 1 month ago:
This is a great idea. I was also just thinking of using cheats to enable invincibility for player 2, that way they can save you and not worry about dying.

Hey, I also tried out SpaghettiKart yesterday! I finally synched up with you.
- Comment on Angela Rayner: I’ve taken all sorts — but we won’t legalise cannabis 1 month ago:
Careful there buddy. The US hasn’t legalized it, only certain states have. That means you can’t travel around with it in the US even if you bought it legally.
Canada legalized it though.

With all the wildfire smoke in the air, I’m actually sorta interested in these now. I wonder if you can get em cheap.

Look, in today’s world the entire banking sector relies on private communications to operate using the Internet. Why can’t private citizens get the same?

If generic engineering becomes that easy, humanity will become nothing but massive, shambling genitals. Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal comic.
- Comment on Java at 30: How a language designed for a failed gadget became a global powerhouse 2 months ago:
There’s also Groovy. A data execution pipeline program I use called NextFlow uses Groovy based scripts.
And compiling for different architectures can be very difficult. I’ve done a lot of work Power9 computers and it’s not as simple as having the right compiler flags. Often the dependencies aren’t built for your platform either so you have to go and compile those too. It can be quite a hassle.

Almost like a carbon tax would help realize the costs to the environment that overseas shipping and energy usage causes.
- Comment on Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work? 2 months ago:
The Sunlit Man was so good. I love books that have fast pacing right from the start, and trying to figure out how the world worked was so much fun.
- Comment on The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people? 2 months ago:
Also the sort of things the schools spend money on. I don’t know from experience, but I think US schools pay for police officers to be at the school. That seems crazy to me, and expensive.

- Comment on The small scale of Lemmy's active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the sports related communities. 2 months ago:
I’m in my 40s too and just finished playing spring league Ultimate Frisbee. It’s was a ton of fun, but I did get a lot of inflammation in my knees.
I also use Linux a lot, but also wish there’s was more sports talk on Lemmy, especially NHL. I thought more people woukd jump ship off reddit after the 3rd party apps were banished.
- Comment on Kids nowadays don't have many (if any) videogame heroes... 2 months ago:
Dark Cloud was my PS2 launch game I bought. I have fond memories, but hated the weapon durability mechanic. I gotta replay it to find these characters you’re talking about.
I remember loving Dark Cloud 2 and taking pictures of absolutely anything and everything trying to find recipes for powerful items.
- Comment on Darfall, a fantasy city-builder with hero-based RPG gameplay and night monster attacks, released on Steam. 3 months ago:
This is a genre I’m starting to really enjoy. I loves Against The Storm. This looks somewhat similar. I’d love to check it out!
- Comment on Apparently it was in the manual, but I'm just learning it now. 3 months ago:
Back then, stuff like this spread by word of mouth somehow very effectively. I’d have a friend over and they’d just pick up the second controller and laugh when I missed the shot.
There were a bunch of other things like the cheat code in Doom, the Contra code (although I think I saw that one in a magazine) putting the Warcraft 2 game disk into a CD player to get a secret audio track.
- Comment on Mouse pointers with drop shadows have their visual click zones and actual ones misaligned. 3 months ago:
Not if you imagine that the cursor is hovering above the screen, and each click is like a virtual instantaneous drop to the screen to make the click.

The encyclopedia even came on CD for a while. It was called Encarta. But I loved my parent’s World Book Encyclopedia much more.
