sometimes you can do this just by existing and being a good friend! people can be weird.

by design! turns out if you just project hard enough, the only possible argument is a “no u” situation. and actually taking that position officially has been a bridge too far for any credible opposition up to now.

ITT: OP calls everyone who thinks he should use the checkbox “liars”

completely genuine, eh?

YOOOOOO this is pretty sick actually!

lotta games end up with a non-current version becoming popular because of mod compatibility. in the absense of such support on steam, A LOT of workshop content gets straight abandoned after a game updates.

the philosophy reads like coping mechanisms of an abused spouse

what do you want, armed insurrection?

this is a stupid take.

so the last time you were at this restaurant the meal was also shit, but you’d rather complain about THAT time while the waiter is actively pissing on you right now.

might be similar reasons as the american settlers had, more hands for work offsets the extra mouths to feed.

he wrote two

oh my fucking god he wrote basically this same exact article when the first thing happened.

i shouldn’t know more about tech than tech journalists, this is obscene.

even as a symbolic move it would mean something

commenting specifically so tankies label me “fashy” while they actively defend dictatorships.

i can’t play hades (1 or 2) on anything other than the deck now. similar with dave the diver.

modern airpods might be better for it, but seriously watch out for your condition getting worse. i used earbuds to sleep for a number of years and my tinnitus kept getting worse until i started using a speaker instead.

maybe it’s different per person, but it’s advice i give anyone with tinnitus now just in case hahah

DON’T do headphones in bed to compensate! it’s not the volume, it’s the exposure!

i’ve got bad tinnitus that i made worse with sleepytime audio over a few years. started just playing shit from my phone speaker instead and it stopped progressing entirely, now i’m just at an uncomfortable plateau lmao

day to day stuff is harder to give advice for. i only noticed in the past few years that i’m almost constantly “listening to music” in my head. i reckon that’s probably a coping strategy.

ways to prevent it getting worse are the stupid stuff you’ve already heard: avoid loud noises, be mindful of music volume, etc. BUT one minor thing that you might not consider: go for on/over ear headphones rather than in-ear buds, ESPECIALLY for extended listening. also consider open back sets, if your setup allows it. the perfect seal that earbuds achieve makes for more stress on those tiny sound-detecting hairs you got, even at lower relative volumes!

big thing to remember is once the damage is there, it’s easier to make worse, so you gotta be proactive. lucky thing is it’s actually really easy to be proactive! i’m a concert-guy myself, and i’ve managed to prevent my shit from getting worse while still regularly attending concerts! acoustically tuned earbuds are super fucking great and totally not a gimmack. i use those loop ones, but anything with positive reviews will probably serve you fine.

good luck comrade

also sometimes people are just needlessly rude :/

this is really interesting, thank you!

man good on them, that response is damning. you’d hope publishers (especially old heads like RWS) would be a little more apprised of these things, but given the circumstances it sounds like they weren’t informed about the use of AI assets.
