  They missed the signal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 394 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well my backlog is over five years old, so these spoilers right out the gate I guess lightened the list for me a bit.

  RIP TLOU.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Standing desks are like gym memberships. Plenty of people (and offices) pay for them but never use them⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have two. One, in my office where I work. It rarely, if ever, moves. Mostly it lifts for cleaning.

  The other is in the living room. It is always on max height because I have small kids so it stays on ‘out of reach mode’ any time I am not in my chair.

  Out of reach mode has paid for itself many times over compared to whatever I get out of standing.

  Certainly mixes things up compared to Local.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hope you like TICKS⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope! Had to look that up. The post10 person appears to do work associated more with public works. Similar though. I was monitoring water quality for fisheries and aquaculture. Public health vs public works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caption this.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  AHhhHhh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hope you like TICKS⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For a good couple years I got to walk along beaches and take water samples of every culvert, pipe, and natural drainage I came across within specific zones. There were some logs and sticks to climb over, but also deer, elk, eagle, seals, and orca. Also birds if I knew or cared about birds.

  It really felt like a nice blend of all of these, quite frankly, and had it not been grant work I’d have kept on doing it most likely.

  “Mastercard did not communicate with Valve directly, despite our request to do so,"

  Well now how did you make that request?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, if the user that started that community is an alt of who I think it is, that… that would track.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What I find interesting here is that this all self identification and self reporting.

  There’s no mechanism in Lemmy to force a user into such identification, so it is all voluntary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Idibiks Oiho⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Reading ‘Idibiks’ slammed my brain into a PTKFGS wormhole all of a sudden.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Replacing Wooden Edges⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Quarry spalls are much more irregular than bricks, so it’d be a much rougher edge. Sounds like the edgers are the desired product, so by all means that’s what mattera.

  For the concrete edgers I’d just lay an inch or two of sand and tamp it down firm. A tamped sand foundation is much easier to set and keep level than your average soils, and better for drainage and seasonal shifts (freezing). You’ll be having to keep 80 concrete edgers straight and even instead of maybe 10 wood boards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have started a magic-only challenge in Dark Souls 1⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh absolutely. FromSoft looks at what players do and then troll that directly in the DLC.

  Trying to remember… Artorias just required not being greedy and just casting after his full spin move. I seem to recall it to be a matter of spacing, similar to Bell Bearing Hunter in Elden Ring, you can get him to predictably chain the same punishable moves. Or like DS3’s Gundyr or Pontiff for parry strats.

  DS2 at least eventually despawns if you’re not in the champion covenent. And hexes are really powerful. (DS2 Brume Tower DLC crown replenishes spell uses over time, so you can Dark Fog the world if you can clear that one.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Replacing Wooden Edges⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There shouldn’t be much to be done other than setting in the edgers in the space left from removing the wood, although honestly I think it looks fine as-is. But I am biased towards wood and stone over concrete.

  On that note, the $3+ dollars per edger is painful to see. That adds up quick. Might I suggest something like quarry spalls as an alternative option? I don’t know if the idea would suit your tastes but if you have a large area to cover it might suit your budget. But like I said: biased.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have started a magic-only challenge in Dark Souls 1⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  hopefully even in the DLC (but that one will be tough…)

  If you mean Kalameet, I think it can actually be killed without Gough using magic. You just have to have good timing and great magic sheild, and snipe each flyby.

  I remember Sanctuary Guardian being more tough than Artorias and Manus for my sorcery only run like… six years ago.

  Nonetheless, good luck! Challenge runs are fun. I’ve only just started replaying Remaster since I’d only ever had PTDE.

  Thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨who up wasting their youth⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I used photoshop tutorials on wastedyouth.org when it existed.

  I’ve wasted more than my youth now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(OC) Made a lil comic.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Way to get him killed, with all that talking. Unless you’re some kinda servant of chaos or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anubis is awesome! Stopping (AI)crawlbots⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  See your brain went immediately to a solution based on knowing how something works. That’s not in the AI wheelhouse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: If you set up a Lemmy instance, and follow the Docker setup instructions to the letter, it will send lemmy.ml your admin password during the setup process⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s been a multiyear crusade to oust .ml from the Fediverse with demands that the developers relinquish their instance servers to a third party and/or stop developing Lemmy altogether. That’s not an irrelevant context here given it is usually the same routine players.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pop it in your calendars⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Is Flayra not pursuing legal action against Krafton over this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pop it in your calendars⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A bit, yeah. Same username then as today. I was with NSArmsLab and BAD Clan mostly those days.

  Weird to think that was 20+ years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pop it in your calendars⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember Flayra from Natural Selection, a half-life mod twenty years ago. I remember him making appeals for investors/donations to keep Unknown Worlds afloat (or maybe just launch it as a company. I recall a video he posted where he showed us his tiny apartment and the milk in his fridge.)

  Then Subnautica came out years later and I thought ‘Well I’ll be damned.’

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a steak maybe once a year, usually as a sudden or persistent craving. But other than that it was amazingly easy to convert to poultry for all my regular recipes. Very easy step to make without much thought.

  Reducing dairy is my dietary wall.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Obligatory response to this meme e’er time, “Sigh, if it’s on septic its massively expensive infrastructure the tenant will be held liable for 10/10 times, and will only render one less living space habitable. And if it’s on sewer it’s punishing the public’s wastewater treatment facility.”

  Aand resume.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe someday 😌⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  ‘Do the thing’ is using the tools a user has at their disposal to block other users. Communities can block and ban users too.

  Defederation over moderation is not the thing I am suggesting. Especially not as part of a multiyear campaign perpetuating a bad-faith feedback loop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe someday 😌⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why instances, communities, and users can be blocked and banned. If ‘their conversation’ is not allowed in ‘your space’ then do the thing and move on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With all the animals that die in the sea, is it possible they get pickled in there?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are pockets and layers of water in the ocean that behave very differently from each other. There are areas of high salt concentration that pretty much act as death horizons for many organisms. There are waters completely devoid of oxygen that suffocate organisms that get lost or stuck in it.

  So, in a sense: yes. However the degree to which marine life had adapted to these conditions, the more unlikely parameter is a dead organism not being consumed by scavengers.

  Without it the value of the Suez Canal plummets. Please, think of the shareholders.
