I changed the title a little, and I don't think it's necessarily right, but it makes more sense to me this way. The translation is calling it "sporting ideal", with the joke being that she's attracted to the hockey player and is then disappointed to see him without his bulky hockey pads. I changed it to "sports idol", even though it seems that "idol" is a completely different word in Hungarian. If any Hungarian speakers would translate it differently, please let me know!

My Dad is Dracula by Jason Poland for July 9, 2026 | GoComics

I got a place on the 512GB with Controller list, and got an email a few days after they started. I ordered it on Friday the 3rd and got it today on Thursday the 9th. The tracking codes were all over the place and gave different estimates depending which branch of each company I used. Steam claimed it was shipped when the courier said they hadn't got it so I was worried for a few days. But this morning Royal Mail (UK customer) sent me an email saying it would arrive today, while GLS said it would arrive tomorrow.

Safe to say I'm happy to have it now and be playing games!

Beguiling: ability that forces a creature to become the caster's companion;
Siphon Vim: transfers health from a creature to the caster for several turns.

I got attacked by the puma and tried to fight back with Siphon Vim but quickly realized I'm not gonna win so I tried to beguile it and sure enough it worked.

But then it just kept losing health until it died :c

[below an IRONY ONLY sign, at a desk showing a dog about to be kicked, a yellow character reassures us]
Don't worry, it's all irony!
Here at the ironic dog kicker club we are just pretending to be dog kickers in order to mock real dog kickers

[a huge sign reads]
ONE YEAR LATER

[lots of different characters are shown smirking while kicking dogs, trash is all over the place]
Kick!
Pow!
Heheheheh
Totally ironic I swear
I love kicking dogs
Boomshaka
Yeah wreck those doggos
Kicky the doggy

[a character which looks suspiciously like the one in the first panel but sideways shrugs above a LIVE ANONYMOUS NARRATOR REACTION]
Wow, unexpected!

This comic is sponsored by the Anti Irony Club.

We take irony very seriously. If exposed to irony, immediately quarantine yourself and consume only sincere media until symptoms subside. Side effects of prolonged ironic exposure include accidentally cultivating the exact audience you claimed to be mocking, saying "based" unironically, and waking up one day to discover your community is now 95% composed of the people you insisted it was making fun of.

If you or a loved one has accidentally founded an ironic community, remain calm. Seek immediate assistance from your nearest licensed grass toucher and begin a strict twelve week rehabilitation program consisting of sane hobbies, sunlight exposure, and conversations that aren't buried under multiple layers of snark.

Together, we can build a blander tomorrow.

forgive the tyos, english is absolutely my first language but we strugglin over here, ya feel? or, take it as confirmation this ain't some damn clanker bullshit

It's just like holy shit! this is what I've wanted my music to do my whole life! This is almost just another member of the family.

Feishin and the smart playlists really really shine when adding user ratings into the mix. plus, adding a "mood" tag and then being able to use our own terms, it is incredible.

Build a custom station with the tags you want, then add "not played in the last days" (depending on how much traffic/supply of that particular kind of music gets) and it keeps it fresh. Add in "rating is not 1" and you'll see the stuff that hasn't been rated yet, but it won't even let 1 start tracks into the queue!

I have rediscovered old favorites, found new songs by classic artists, have perfectly curated playlists down to the nth degree, custom stations that show me exactly what i want before i even knew i wanted to listen to that right then, all without commercials, on every device i own.

i am pumped for the future of the open subsonic API's! I think a skipped count could be awesome. I'd like to automate some stuff based off skip counts.

the navidrome plugins are getting some inertia, i am excited to see where that goes.

Other Navidrome/opensubsonic users, how do you guys use the 5 stars? for me it is

• 5 amazing song, not only will i 99% of the time never skip it, i will try to get everyone's attention and have them listen
• 4 i really like this song and have stopped what i am doing to pay attention to it, it is not likely but may get skipped depending on the mood/genre desired at that time
• 3 - this song is good and i notice it and smile while continuing doing my thing, unless it is the wrong mood/genre (can i blast it while working?), which means it gets skipped.
• 2 - this song is unobtrusive and doesn't appear to bother or inspire me.
• 1 this song catches my attention due to disliking it. I will go out of my way to stop it from playing. i set up my stations to never call for those again.

I am looking for other ways to interface with this to be able to rate songs a little easier/safer (while driving?)

I am hopeful i will have the wiggle room to donate to navidrome, feishin, snapcast, mopidy, spindle, soon!!!!

A new study examines the emerging science suggesting a link between calorie-free sweeteners and blood sugar control.

An MSG database tracked and categorized hundreds of celebs, famous Knicks superfans, and even some of Taylor Swift’s wedding guests. Labels included “LGBTQIA,” “DO NOT HOST,” and low to high “risk.”

People with depression or depressive symptoms may be more heavily motivated by the likes they get on social media, according to an international study of Twitter users.

Using various recruitment methods, the researchers ran several tests comparing the behaviour of Twitter users with depression and a random sample of users, looking at how much they were likely to post the day after getting a lot of likes on a tweet. In all the datasets, the researchers say depression and depressive symptoms were linked to a higher likelihood of being influenced by the amount of likes they were getting.

The authors say this contradicts previous lab-based studies showing people with depression are less responsive to rewards, suggesting real-world rewards such as social media validation may impact a depressed brain differently.

Any recommendations on doorbell cameras? I used to have Ring and it was ok. Moved and got Blink- sucks, didn't realize it was battery only, constantly dead. Looking at Eufy from Costco- hardwired and no subscription because it uses local storage. Thoughts?
