2 days agoGood point. I guess there’s a balance to be made: secure enough plugging such that it won’t easily be unplugged, and yet not so strong that the cable (or the plug) breaks instead.

As someone living in a country which uses a variant of Type B (without the ground pin), appreciate the design of Type F.
Mainly because it recessed, which helps with making the plug more securely plugged in. I think it has features that makes plugs really secure, and won’t be yanked off, which happened to me quite a lot (tripping on a wire, yanking off something off the wall socket, etc).
6·15 days agoI’ve got to go think about it for a second, and then I get to realize what it meant.
I got
<first_name_initial><middle_name_initial><last_name>@gmail.comin imitation of my university webmail account name. My brother who had the same first name and middle name initials knew this and had adjusted accordingly.However, recently, someone registered this e-mail for school and I kept receiving their school e-mails.
My e-mail account is already roughly two decades old at this point, so I thought I was safe from this kind of problem.
I’m not really this person but I’ve often been told I am too comfortable with people to be an introvert.
I can attest to this though. Even if I’m not front and center of a social gathering, it’s still incredibly draining to me, and would take a few days to recharge. Even longer if I’ve got to be in charge and be front and center (takes a few weeks to recharge from that).
I think it’s a difference between what is natural (being alone, recharging, etc.) and what is forced (being front and center in a crowd). Being an introvert doesn’t mean you can’t learn being comfortable being front and center in a crowd. As you’ve said, it’s a matter of how you gain energy and what mode you’re most at home with.
No…? But I did the math correctly, and for a certain interpretation of “attend”, I am a day too late.
International Agape, I guess? Love will save the world and all that shit.

It’s a relatively obscure PS1 game in the horror genre.
The main thing that made it relatively unique among the horror game of the PS1 era is its lack of action mechanics. It’s essentially a horror dungeon crawler without action mechanics. You can run away or sneak past the invincible enemy, or if you gain a companion, the enemy kills your companion allowing you to run away when caught.
Game mechanics and ending spoilers
Essentially, your companion is your extra life. Different companions also have different abilities. Different endings result from who your companion is, or not having any at the game ending.
Its mechanics is more akin to Clock Tower—first person point and click at certain rooms, while being a first-person dungeon crawler in most other areas.
From the wiki article:
The game uses a first-person perspective, very similar to first-person shooter games, only without any means of combat. Throughout the game, players must travel through different areas of The Mesh and beyond, and must solve puzzles to progress to the surface. The player encounters only one type of enemy, and that is the mutating monster called The Hybrid. The only possible way for players to survive is to run away. Any close contact with the enemy will result in the deaths of their companion (and finally themselves). Once the companions are attacked, they are killed off permanently.
It is pretty different from the other horror games from the PS1 era, which made it relatively disappointing for those expecting it to be similar to the likes of Resident Evil or even Silent Hill.
I’ve played Tactics Ogre after I’ve read some accounts of it being described as FFT’s spiritual successor, but I must admit I never finished it–not because of the gameplay which is suprisingly deep for its time, but because of my own perfectionism. I didn’t let myself just play the game without any guides or overthinking, instead went full “I want the perfect gamesave”.|
But yes! what you said is true. FFT is a more accessible successor to Tactics Ogre.
21·2 months agoHuh, that’s not a browser, but I’ll take a look at it nonetheless. I am currently using Alexandrite as a browser frontend though. But thanks!
(In terms of this survey, IDK where browser frontends should be placed, I am not sure if it should be here or its own top-level category)

I am confused about the inclusion of Linux as an OS in this survey. Does a Lemmy package exist for desktop Linux? Or is the Linux option for Linux phones?
Same! I was voluntold for the class basketball team because of my height. I was too unathletic for it, however, and I only lasted one week. However, like you, I can throw paper waste from almost anywhere in the classroom and shoot it into the bin. I can also shoot a worn-out piece of chalk to its container from the middle row. I was pretty lousy with paper planes though.
The “throw trash into the bin” ability comes in clutch when I’m too lazy to stand up and put trash into the bin. That’s where I got most of my recent practice!
- I have decent throwing aim. I can shoot most trash into the bin from a couple of meters away. With practice, I can probably increase my range.
- I am pretty flexible for someone my size.
- I have a pretty scary evil laugh that can scare the neighborhood children away.
Thank you, congratulations for the two years, and may this instance go on in the best condition for many more years to come without admins being burnt out.
Yeah, that’s a good point. Maybe I can just cut to the chase and outright assert “You did a bad job, hand all your power to me.” 😅
But Peking duck is known as part of Chinese cuisine, right?
Ah hell, I’ll take it. Peking duck slices on sushi rice, or a peking duck rice bowl with char siu sauce or whatever. Maybe char siu-stuffed nigiri. Think of the possibilities!!
