  Nah it’s totally different this time around.

  For starters Leth acknowledged Nintendo’s tweet about it by retweeting it, and setting his profile background to the new key art (which was provided by TC themselves)

  TC also provided four new screenshots of the game to Nintendo as part of a press kit.

  The xbox situation was literally never acknowledged by them at all, except for when Leth ultimately posted that it wasn’t happening lol. Apparently just based on estimates that TC had communicated with them privately, and only ever “confirmed” by a single social media person at Microsoft

  This isn’t some random Nintendo direct, but rather THE big event for their big console. And also officially and immediately supported by TC this time around. This is 100% an intentional press rollout

  Xbox did that I think in like 2022-2023

  Britain has a Vagina Museum! They’re active on Mastodon too, actually. Top tier posters, highly recommend a follow

  From their FAQ, emphasis mine:

  You shouldn’t get one if…

  You need a perfectly polished smartwatch. This project is a labour of love rather than a startup trying to sell millions of watches. There may be some rough edges (literally). Things will get delayed. Some features will not be ready at launch. Things could break. Things could not last as long as you’d like. The only thing we can guarantee is that it will be awesome and a lot of fun! Every time you look down at your watch, you will smile

  So yeah, I’d say your take is pretty accurate. At least they’re honest lol

  That’s 2B from Nier Automata. Yeah pretty much. Android battle unit. I think her being that heavy is official in-game lore

  Check out the revised Kurzgesagt script, they have pretty much the best and most up to date collection of research papers at the moment

  I actually was introduced to the topic by Mike Israetel when he was reviewing Herman Pontzer’s research. So when I watched the original Kurz I was super confused because it seemed to make a different conclusion than the work they were citing. I’m glad they made the revised version

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Attempt to motivate people to take the stairs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah the body compensates for it to an extent.

  You know how lot of people report exercise makes them feel better? Releases dopamine, relaxes them. A result is that they actually fidget less, their heart rate slows, and other energy burning processes in their body relax.

  The buffer is relatively large in fact, like possibly over 200-400 calories per day depending on the person. I think of it as the body’s flywheel for keeping an energy balance.

  One should keep exercising, for the numerous benefits. There also is a point where you are burning calories that need to be made up (either through eating or weight loss), ask any endurance athlete. Just not likely to hit the threshold in 20 mins on the treadmill, which is what many people do for exercise

  Genuinely shocking to me how disgusting fast food places have gotten. But I’m also not sure if it’s just my perception

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Entire Mac Lineup Now Finally Starts With at Least 16GB RAM, Ending 8GB Era⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah it was a trip for me as well to adapt to the new ways. For example it took me a long long time to adjust to allowing the computer to manage the multitasking for me. I would habitually always close out programs I wasn’t using, because I felt deeply from my decades of experience that running tons of things at once would cause many issues.

  I was very uncomfortable letting all these “active” programs pile up, but it really turned out to be all good. The computers are designed to be used this way. And really, I’m better off for it, not having to go in and micromanage everything constantly.

  What I’m trying to say is that learning is not something that is ever finished, you know? There came a day when we stopped defragmenting our hard drives, and now the day has arrived where the computer utilizes all the ram all the time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Entire Mac Lineup Now Finally Starts With at Least 16GB RAM, Ending 8GB Era⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s normal for these computers. Idea being it doesn’t really benefit you to have a ton of empty ram sitting around waiting to be used. So the OS makes no effort to clear it out until the space is needed.

  If you believe their marketing it’s actually doing the opposite, and preemptively loading stuff into ram in order to make your common tasks feel as snappy as possible. But yeah either way you’ll notice the memory is always “full”, but you never seem run out

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don’t Ask AI Which Rocks You Can Lick.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Google has been rolling out a thing where an AI result is the first thing that pops up, often taking up the whole screen lol. I’ve personally witnessed tons of people google something normally, then just go with whatever the AI says.

  Makes me shake my head, but it’s not like they were very discerning with their sources before all this nonsense, either. Hopefully they don’t rely on it for any important medical advice down the road
