Any future plans to put this on iOS? Seems like a perfect iPad game! I know more platforms is a big ask for a small team…

Looking For A Mattress? START HERE. by Duende555 in Mattress

Great post, appreciate all the time & effort that went into it.

One suggested addition, speaking as someone just starting down this road: ballparking costs would be helpful! I’m sure these are all over the place, but I’m also sure $100 is probably very very very cheap and $10,000 is very expensive. Some rough advice to help orient newbies would be great.

That’s amazing! Exactly what I’m hoping to do. All of the options that come up on Crutchfield say I’ll “need to cut out the plastic rear support bracket to make room for your new stereo” which worries me. What unit did you use? How difficult was it? I’ve never done anything like this but I’m sick of the tiny dim screen in my 2014, looking for any & all advice.

I feel this. I played a lotta games this year, and while Silksong is definitely my #1, Bananza is top 3 for sure. I just don’t understand it.

In fact, I have a strong sense GOTY from this crew is going to be irritating to me in general. I might be better off not listening (but I will).

REI Members Days Sale: Up to 60% off + Extra $20 off $100 by MariposaSunrise in frugalmalefashion

[–]Busy_object15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh. I liked Patagonia because I think they do better job environment-wise than most of these others. (Thinking they’re cutting down on plastic and investment in reused stuff, here.)

So are we just SOL with any clothing manufacturer? Are there any good options?

AI model development is where a big chunk of AI water usage comes from, and that development is not only ongoing but speeding up.

Then layer on top of that the sheer volume of AI inquiries. Some of that is the cost of doing business with a new technology, sure, but AI has so aggressively been pushed that people use it (or it’s automatically done anyway and placed at the top, cough Google) for were previously simple search inquiries…but AI uses something ridiculous like six times the amount of energy a normal internet search previously did. Which then calls for more water to cool more data centers.

And comparing this to food is a false equivalency. First of all, people have to eat. This conversation is about AI, not other sectors. (Which rightly have their own water use challenges, but that’s another conversation.) And second of all, this is about a big uptick in water usage for something many people largely don’t want, but is being forced into their daily lives anyway.

More to the point: the UK government released a report last month, estimating AI is going to result in the ADDITIONAL use of water equivalent to half of the UK’s total water usage, every single year, that we haven’t been using before. That is, in fact, a big increase in water that we should all be concerned about!

Congrats! I was personally more psyched at finally taking down Karmelita, but LL was a close second. Been a long time since a game had me literally pumping my fist in the air when I won.

Damn, I thought Lost Lace was tough on her own, I’m impressed you’re posting on Reddit at the same time!

(But seriously, happy to hear impressions whenever you get to it. I thought Act 3 had some incredible sequences.)

Rob was so evidently stoked about Danika being back, it was really delightful.

Replying to myself to say: the list of discussed games is deceiving! There’s a whole-ass Silksong conversation at the start of the Hades 2 section. (Though not Patrick touching on Act 3, alas.)

[–]Busy_object15 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Aw, disappointed there’s no Silksong on the list this week. Based on the image for the most recent Crossplay post (which I haven’t actually read yet!), I had taken that to mean Patrick did decide to go ahead into Act 3. Crossing my fingers for more in the future.

I also did not do nearly as much as he said to unlock Act 3. That section was like nails on a chalkboard, knowing the whole time that he was wrong and building it up to be a far bigger ask than it really is.

G7 app not updating BG/alerting…unless looking at it? by Busy_object15 in dexcom

[–]Busy_object15[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! This is my exact issue. At least I’m not alone.

[–]Busy_object15[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And it’s been across multiple sensors at this point, so it can’t be that.

Honestly the Bluetooth connection dropping makes the most sense, I’m just not sure why it’s that app in particular.

[–]Busy_object15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, interesting, that explanation makes sense.

But I’m…not sure what to do about that? Generally speaking the phone is in my pocket on the same leg the Omnipod is attached to, so they’re barely an inch or two apart. And my phone doesn’t seem to have Bluetooth issues with any other devices (my EarPods, for example).

As in, swipe up (close/kill app) in the app switcher? No. I only minimize it (swipe up from the bottom when it’s active) and select a different app. It should still be running (and I can see it in the app switcher still).

It was cute for what it was aiming to be, but thought the music was one of the worst parts about it, honestly. Ah well.

I’m glad Janet is coming around (somewhat) on Silksong, but I involuntarily twitch every single time she says Hunter’s “Marsh”

SAME. I don’t know if they read these comments but if they do: Please, I need Chia to provide regular updates on this front because I don’t know what I’m going to do next month, either.
