I’m kind of an early access freak, but I put in about 80 hours and enjoyed it. There were definitely problems early, and I don’t plan on going back to it for at least a year, enough for them to release substantially more and it feels fresh.

I did a Dishonored run with zero kills and never being spotted, took forever but felt so satisfying.

Thank you for actually providing an explanation beyond stating the word “science”

There might be a “fixed height” setting in the display settings.

Honestly same. I saw that lemm.ee was the second largest and had an active admin, felt like I would dip my toes in and I would change if needed.

Never needed to, stuff like this gives me confidence in the platform.

Crazy how nature do that

Agreed, surprised they haven’t shown up in this thread yet lol.

Yeah that’s fair.

It feels bad to see this giant wall of DLCs, just feels like a cash grab. I appreciate the transparency anyway, and I don’t have to participate to enjoy it.

I’m on year 2 of the game, and rarely notice bugs. There’s this arena boss fight you can do, my wife died and teleported outside the area, but her crossbow shots traveled infinitely and could still damage the same boss I was stuck in the arena with. Random stuff like that, certainly nothing game breaking, no crashes or anything.

Compared to Stardew Valley, it’s much more heavy on quests. SV has some basics, but it’s pretty much just build the community center, upgrade your house, get married, etc. It’s also much heavier on skill progression. You’ll eventually use magic for nearly everything if you (mining, tree harvesting, watering, fishing, etc.).

Sun Haven also has 3 different towns, all roughly the size of Stardew Valley (the main town is bigger though).

Which leads me into my only real complaint. You will have a farm in all 3 towns, with their own houses, crops, barn animals, and quests. If you play alone, it’s kind of a lot to manage. It’s just my wife and I that play, but if I played on my own, I would probably only focus on one town at a time, which feels weird. I’d rather the game introduce something like a familiar that can slowly take care of things while I’m gone doing other stuff.

Thank you. Certainly sounds like more research needs to take place, but this is awesome and will hopefully encourage more studies.

I also thought it was interesting that discrepancies between trans and cisgender women in strength could be attributed to trans women being forced to use men’s training facilities, equipment and resources, which get more funding and are better equipped. It’s amazing what you learn when you control certain variables.

If it matters they’re all skins that don’t really matter, purely cosmetic. I bought and played the game, on year 2.

If you’re opposed on principle, I get it, but IMHO extra cosmetic packs aren’t predatory. What you get for your money is clear (unlike loot boxes) and you aren’t paywalled behind new content (so no FOMO).

This is incredible work. I have one question that confused me, the article says that trans and cisgender women have the same bone density, which is linked to muscle strength. Then it says that bone density “is not indicative of athletic prowess”.

If bone density and muscle strength are positively correlated, then it should be an indication of athleticism, no? Do I have a misunderstanding of what they consider “athletic prowess”?

A lovely lady behind the Wendy’s

Scrolled through a ton of comments but honestly this sums it all up for me. Lemmy isn’t large enough to support niche memes and content.

Fuck yeah

To my shame, I’m still deeply ingrained in the Google ecosystem. I settled on it like 8-10 years ago and I’m not sure how to dig myself out of this pit. More than Chrome, I heavily use Docs, Sheets, Drive, Wallet, YouTube, Gmail, I even have a Pixel (I hate how bloated Samsung is).

I’ve used Firefox a little for work because of the nice containers feature. Is Google Drive bad too? It’s so easy to share things, I torrent a lot of books and I’ve shared with a bunch of friends, idk if there’s an alternative that others could easily use.

Weirdly, I can only do this with my right ear. Definitely helps on airplanes.

Displaying images of 9/11 to new yorkers is pretty savage.

Slang that went something like “god damn!” -> “gyat damn!” -> “gyat!”

Generally said when you see a big booty.

You should really talk to HR. If you’re super duper non-confrontational, I see maybe two other options:

• Chastise Ann for not having your back. Make her tell Ned to stop being a creep

• Talk to Ned’s boss informally and say Ned has made uncomfortable comments/advances.
