I've been looking around for demos that would actually be more fun to play on the deck than playing on my PC. Right now I'm eyeing up one called Combat Complex that is a twin-stick shooter ARPG with shooting mechanics that look really juicy! I'm hoping to get it installed tomorrow and give it a shot 🤩
I've been using Raindrop for about five years. The solo dev really impressed me with his responsiveness to user feedback, so I started paying for premium ($30/yr) even though I don't really need the extra features.
I've used the mobile app, Firefox extension, desktop app (Linux and Windows), and the web app. All have worked flawlessly and have grown more feature rich without ruining the user experience.
The features I use the most are:
- Endlessly nestable folders that I can give my own icons to make them significantly easier to navigate around
- Public collections so I can save my favorite GIFs and memes on a public page I can refer back to and share
- Tagging, descriptions, and notes so I can save a lot of context for each bookmark and why I saved it
- The built in preview for the mobile app feels buttery smooth, so I seldom open tabs in my mobile browser when I'm visiting my bookmarks
- The main premium features I actually use are the broken link detector to find links that no longer exist and the permanent copies of those pages
I haven't had a chance to use the REST API, but it appears to be documented quite well.
Overall I've had such a pleasant experience that I've never looked at any other option.
My husband and I are in the exact same boat. Not looking forward to it sinking. 😥
Ooooh! I really like that idea! Several people that I know started to watch TNG and just couldn't get into it. And I feel like part of it is the wacky crustiness of the first few episodes of the first season. So, I second this idea of diving right into the core of the show!
Was anybody else young enough to get endless entertainment out of those demo disks that held a dozen demos on them?
Am I going crazy or does this somehow look smoother and more punchy than MW5?
Oh, goodness, this is the first time I've ever heard about Invidious. So my imagination jumped the gun and I didn't give this gorgeous visual revamp the credit that it's due! Thanks for your hard work!
Oh, this looks pretty promising!
Any idea of how much they've shared a roadmap? I'd love to see if they have goals to integrate other video platforms like PeerTube to make it more than just an alternative YouTube front-end.
Any time I hear about this game, I always remember how much TB adored it. Thanks for posting this!
Oh, that sounds really cool!! I haven't actually used chatGPT so I'm not familiar with the pricing or free limitations of it.
Recently I've been really enjoying LM studio for D&D related things. I've created separate conversation threads for different topics, plots, and characters. So, when I ask a question it already is aware of the context behind my ask and it tailors the response accordingly.
For example, I recently had a one-shot and I knew I wanted to have a powerful sorceress who controlled minds. So I spun up a new conversation and typed out the basic info. Then I asked the LLM what her favorite form of torture was, how many people she had mind controlled, and what her lair might look like, etc. It worked better than I thought it would, although some of the responses seemed pretty cookie cutter 😅
I used Notion for managing my D&D campaign until I noticed I was approaching the limitations of what the free tier offered. That sent me looking for an alternative and I ended up settling on Skiff Pages (at that time I don't even think they had email, drive, etc). It didn't have all the features that Notion did, but it was functional, easy to use, and they were frequently adding improvements.
It's kind of funny to me that they ended up getting swallowed by Notion in the end. I'm just glad that I've long since switched over to Obsidian. My Markdown files can't get bought by Notion . 😂
I used that for a bit and I recall it was a little obtuse to just put in the number of calories you had for a meal. Instead, it's almost like it expected you to create a recipe for every meal you cooked with the exact ingredients and stuff.
Did they ever fix that, or is there an easy work around?
This happened to me 2 years ago, so I know it's really really tough. We put our old boy Stanley down on Christmas Eve and it was devastating. He was a long haired tuxedo that looked almost exactly like your sweet Belle.
I hope you take comfort in knowing that her last moments will be right by your side, where she likely feels the most at peace. And I also hope that you take care of yourself, take the time to grieve, and lean on your loved ones when you can.
Aha! I've finally found someone to talk to about that! I'm pretty unfamiliar with the franchise. I think I briefly played the first game on mobile, but know very little.
What's so engaging about the first game and what makes you look forward to a second one?
That was an amazing night for Baldurs Gate 3! It's a lovely game, so I get it.
I was a bit surprised by the multiplayer win, though 🤔
If they support this game even half as well as No Man's Sky then I'm excited to see how this one works out!
I'm very grateful that I only learned about Silicon Valley after the finale had aired. I binged it in the blink of an eye and loved every second of it!
I believe in August the rules changed a bit:
Individuals who have had anal sex in the last three months may be eligible to donate as long as they did not have sex with someone new or with multiple partners during that timeframe.

Oh my goodness, the exact same thing happened with me and Guild Wars 2!!! 😱
I was a teenager at the time and my family burned logs to keep the house warm in winter. My Dad upgraded the smoke detectors so that they were all linked. In other words, if one alarm went off in the basement (where the wood burner was) then every detector in the house would go off.
This sounds great in theory, but in reality it turns out that the detectors would go off on a near weekly basis. Whenever someone tossed logs in the burner and smoke escaped. We got desensitized to the beeping and it became second nature to just cancel the alarm when it happened.
Fast forward to the closed beta for Guild Wars 2 and I was up late, trying to play every possible minute that I could before the weekend was over. My door was closed, headphones on, and I was REALLY immersed.
The smoke detector started beeping. And it kept beeping over and over and over. Normally, at this point my parents would've cancelled it. That kind of struck me as odd, so I opened my door.
Ruh roah, raggy.
A wall of smoke was on the other side of the door. And the smell was NOTHING like the usual wood burner smell. It really hurt to breathe and my eyes were not having a good time either.
After shaking my Dad awake, we called the fire department, got all the animals out, and nobody got hurt. The damage was serious, but the entire house didn't go up. The upstairs needed rebuilt and there was a fair bit of smoke damage.
I don't want to think about what would've happened if I wasn't up playing that closed beta 😅
