Lava is horrible but at least it’s fast and often you don’t need to ponder if or how you should come back, you can just go straight to mourning (your precious diamonds). Poor horse, though. 😢

I haven’t played chess in a loong time but when it comes to crushing my soul I doubt it would beat Minecraft when you spend 3 hours on a trip across the whole map, collecting tons of resources (many of them for the first time) only to be blown by creeper somewhere in a the crevice of a deep cave.

If you have a backup map copy, vaguely know where the cave was and its layout, and if are fast you can theoretically go back and pick up your things. So you do it and keep running around looking for the cave, then run inside, start looking for the pile of items but can’t find it. Although in this cave you were rather meticulous with torches (yeah it is unfair!) so it’s not crawling with zombies and you sort of know your way around, you don’t really remember 100% where you met the creeper. After all of this was because of a moment of absent-mindedness. The only way you can really tell is by the pile of items scattered around. But if they’ve already de-spawned you would not know for sure, and could be running around passing the spot several times.

So over time, the feeling slowly sinks in: if they already de-spawned you might just be running in circles.

I don’t think I’ve ever played a game that managed to pull the band-aid so slowly.

Syncthing for files, Nextcloud (synced to fastmail and file tree using vdirsyncer) for calendar and contacts.

TBH—and I’m not a native English speaker—I think it’s a bit ambiguously phrased. “Increase by 200%” would be more clear.

“Mark Zuckerberg” -> “cum rag berzerkk”

“but … the … it … … w… the thing … so … the …” 😵‍💫 🤯

idk if it’s just me but “think before you speak” just triggers me.

it’s what my dad used to yell at me (and pepper with calling me an idiot) when I was 8 and he had no patience with my questions and he hated the way i think and am.

when you could be sitting in a cafe or restaurant and contributing to the economy

or even better, being exploited for cheap labor in prison!

BTW, little newborn kittens or puppies are also called litter.

say “little kitten litter” 10 times

I don’t disagree about the education. (Technically I can’t agree too vehemently since I don’t know that much and I don’t live there nor do I know anyone in person who lives in U.S. but I hear about the problems all the time and, fingers crossed, all power to you if you can improve it).

My point was just that, as someone who had a love-hate relationship with alcohol that lasted too long and had a bad break-up, I was really excited about this question and then disappointed about the discussion being derailed, and even more disappointed that OP is contributing to that derailment.

And I guess I overreacted a bit, sorry.

None of that was meant to invalidate your concerns about U.S. centrism and education issues, it’s just a different topic, that’s all.

I don’t use pepper but I use Himalayan crystal salt so your point stands, there could be decent amount of dead Buddhist monks there.

(I guess I’ll have to be checking from now on.)

my pepper grinder is clear as well, but point stands, i don’t ever look there.

is your point to have the grinder so small that you can basically observe every individual seed in it to check if it’s not a beetle?

Death Boom sounds cool but the opposite would be “Birth Boom”.

I think it should be “Corpse Boom”.

LOL.

But to be fair, OP did not specify whether it’s Cyties Skylines or not.

“WLBR”

…just rolllrrrs … lorrrs … rolls off the tongue!

OT but

…is that what the radiator in my room is for?

scratch that, I just discovered there’s this wheel on my mouse that make bad comment go up up up and away

TBH: Interesting question, post ruined by this “US-centric or not” BS. (Rest assured that as European, I don’t give a f about your insecurities with your education, at least not in unrelated posts. I’d bet most Europeans would not be able to point to most U.S. on the map, maybe Texas, California, Florida (wink) or NY but that’s about it. Even I know barely half of them, and that’s because I’m a terminally online look-up-everything-on-wikipedia nerd.)

I was just curious about what would people say about ad regulations. I would have no problem with question being US-centric or any-other-country-centric.
