Glad I upgraded mine before all this shit started. Barring disaster it should play games for years. I don't need all the bells and whistles.

This is an important point. There's a big difference between guys with guns telling you what you can say, and a local get-together. Sometimes people act like they should be able to say whatever they want wherever they want, even if they're like standing in someone else's house
We don't need this at my job. Management specifically forbid us from writing integration tests at all. And they don't even know what unit tests are (not a joke) so that's not a problem.
I use keepassxc. It does the job.
Probably get more return on resources investing in therapy to address phobias, in that case.
That doesn't sound much different than a traditional vaccine, unless you can self administer it
Oh, hard to pick! Maria was a good fight. I finished it by parrying her with the pistol, and then missed the critical attack so I just bonked her and she fell over. Still counts!
Moon presence was also pretty cool, and felt like it was a few tweaks from being Really Hard. It does that move where your health goes down to 1 and you have to rally it all back! Luckily for me the axe is good for rallying, and the boss is very generous about waiting for you. Elden Ring feels like it wouldn't have given such a long recovery opening!
I finished it and the dlc! The orphan was tricky. I don't think anything took more than five tries though. Hunter's axe is MVP.
Definitely a good game. Interesting setting.
Tried a bit of a new game with the cane sword and it's way less solid.
I vote in every election. New York has ranked choice for some things now, which is nice. The way judges are picked is pretty bad, though.
I don't enjoy it. I think it's sad when people get addicted to it.
I don't even like big random factors in games. One of the things I like about the dark souls franchise is there's very little randomness. You never win or lose because "lol critical hit", like you might in something closer to D&D
Some sort of online community for people to practice reading, especially critically so they practice skills like recognizing subtext, irony, themes, etc, could probably be cool
Unfortunately, the people on a text based platform like Lemmy probably have better than average reading skills. The people who need more help probably stick to video.
Also there's a surprising amount of anti-intellectualism, sometimes, where people say things like "it's just a story it doesn't have any deeper meaning!". Fundamental misunderstanding of how meaning works. (You don't find the correct answer. You make up an answer and justify it with the text.)
