You can’t just stare at an eclipse willy nilly, you gotta train your eyes for something like that. Glance at the sun a few seconds at a time, and work your way up to a minute.

Those are definitely more than 4000cc each. At a glance, I’d guess about three times that.

politics @lemmy.world•RFK Jr.'s staff shuts down questions as he admits he eats 'stuff I find on the street'
9·3 days agoHe’s been known to collect roadkill. He’ll literally eat things off the street.
It says they use vanilla beans, but the ingredients list only says “natural flavor,” and vanilla is not listed in the ingredients.
Vanillin is the same chemical in both artificial vanilla flavorings and actual vanilla, so that definitely tastes the same.
Most people don’t have the palate trained to really distinguish the subtle differences brought on by those other components and will probably appreciate both equally. I’m sure I couldn’t tell both apart unless I was comparing them 1-to-1.

Games@lemmy.world•What games did you sleep on for too long?English
2·8 days agoFarming vials was not a fun mechanic, IMO. It’s also part of what made Demon’s Souls tedious at times, running out of healing and having to run back to your favorite farming route just to get more. It kills the flow of the game and is frustrating when you’re just trying to get past a hard boss.
I’ve played through most of the major Soulslikes out there, but have bounced off Bloodborne several times.

4·8 days agoI suggest starting with Dark Souls 1 and playing them in order. DS1 is slower and clunkier than the sequels, but will introduce you to the mechanics and playstyle of the series. That clunkiness is especially obvious after playing the sequels. DS2 is the one most people like the least, but it’s still pretty decent, and plays somewhat faster than the first. DS3 is the smoothest experience, and probably hardest of the three.
Bloodborne is a more action-oriented experience, definitely a faster pace than the Souls games, and arguably harder because of it.
If you still want more, check out Demon’s Souls. Some of the mechanics are tedious and can easily be ignored, others are main parts of the game and have been simplified somewhat in the later games. I haven’t played the remake, but apparently it’s as close as possible to the original experience, only with upgraded graphics and sound. I read that even the game’s timings are exactly replicated.

Games@sh.itjust.works•What's the rarest Steam achievement you got?English
1·9 days agoIf you can do Steel Soul, the 100% is not that hard to get. You get the Fragile Strength early on which is a pretty big boost, and since you never die, you never have to worry about losing it. Most of the bosses aren’t a big deal after you’ve beaten them a couple times, the only one I was worried about was Grimm, and since you can get up to 112% you can skip some of the more dangerous threats, mostly from the DLCs.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml•GOG confirm they are working towards GOG Galaxy on Linux
1·9 days agoI understand that, but then why would they not correct it for everyone? They saw that there was a problem, so they made a second newsletter specifically for Germany, but sent the problematic one out to everyone else. Like wouldn’t it have made more sense to just fix it for everyone and avoid the obvious criticism?

I think that’s the whole point. They’d have him suicided.
