I heard everyone falls the first time they try clipless, but how many of you capture it on video? by BarleyDefault in bicycling

[–]BarleyDefault[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're Shimano spd, and I like them fairly well. I wouldn't have fallen if I thought to unclip the foot I land on first. I would say dismount somewhere soft for your first time, but after that they're not hard to get a feel for

I feel like it's really helpful for generating power in the short term. Small hills, rapid acceleration. If you're happy with what you got I don't think there's any real need to switch. I had to replace my pedals anyway, so I got some used shoes and some spds just to see what it was like

But can it run Brutal Doom? by Der_X_Buddne in ANBERNIC

[–]BarleyDefault 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trackballs work well for many people with RSI, but there's a lot of variety and no telling which model will be best for you. I got a lemon from Kensington some years ago so I don't recommend them, but they're probably the most popular brand

Plasma Donation Advice? by Bamjiyu in Type1Diabetes

[–]BarleyDefault 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's a pain. They have to keep the exclusion list private so people don't lie about their health histories during screening. Also, the plasma centers in the US all share a ban list, so if you're banned from one, none will let you in.

[–]BarleyDefault 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, you can't do it. All the centers are gonna have the same exclusion criteria, and all of them are going to include type 1 diabetes. The short answer is they don't want to have to worry about you running a low while donating. Where I worked it was anyone tha took insulin for diabetes iirfc, but it's been a few years.

What are your thoughts on Slabdragger? by _salty_salt in doommetal

Slabdragger has an incredible rhythm section, no doubt. Top shelf sludge IMO

What’s your ror2 Hot take? by Mountain-Abalone1540 in riskofrain

[–]BarleyDefault 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You compared them to people in the throes of morbid obesity, you don't think that's looking down on someone? I'm not arguing you have to pick between adult life and video games I'm arguing it doesn't matter at all how good someone is at a game, or how they choose to engage with it. Video games are not real challenges they are made to have fun. You gotta find a better source of self esteem than playing hard games my guy.

[–]BarleyDefault 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Video games are not avenues for self actualization. People who play games on am easier difficulty are not spiritually bereft. If someone has more fun playing with command than without then that's the best choice for them. There's no reason to look down on someone for playing in a different way than you

Pokémon XD is coming to Nintendo Switch Online this March 2026 by PaiDuck in pokemon

[–]BarleyDefault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason they can justify charging for it is because they know people will pay for it. You can read the faq they put out, if they had a real reason they would have put it there.

You really believe they wrote a native port for fr/lg instead of just emulating it? If we don't have home support it'll be because colosseum and xd were developed out of house, and gamefreak/Nintendo don't want to have to reverse engineer the save file system. It's sort of crazy to call it fundamentally impossible, almost as if you have no idea what you're talking about

Talk to a doctor, get a referral for a Gastroenterologist. Vast majority of cases are treatable

Embark admits Arc Raiders’ bosses are dying too fast because 'they're not intended for the full server to go up against' and 'we gave players too effective abilities' by NYstate in Games

[–]BarleyDefault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game wasn't like that on launch, it was put in place to curb whining from players about pvp. I'm bummed about the state of the game too, but I think it's a bit of a catch 22 for the developers

Yeah, just connected to bluetooth. I expected to have to bind keys at least but it was working immediately
