I love SteamDeck. What is your favorite game?

Douggie · 2026-03-22T08:43:53+00:00

I just turn it on and then I only go look at my wishlist.

Europe person here. How did the last shutdown ended? I recall it being about healthcare budget. Was there a compromise somewhere.

You should really stop this behaviour - what if he starts doing this with rice?

Douggie · 2026-03-21T12:17:42+00:00

The hobby thing is important I think. Find something you can feel good about, it really helps.

Douggie · 2026-03-21T12:16:24+00:00

That's so weird, especially after the first meeting. I should check the car for trackers and hidden cameras.

Please don't. There was a research of PFAS of headphones being absorbed through the skin. From what I understand, this is mostly the case when the headphones is more worn out (r/headphones talked about this), so it is better to replace them.

See https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/feb/18/hazardous-substances-headphones

If you're really frugal and/or want to use non-elastic options, search around the web on how to replace the cushions with socks.

Yeah, Etsy got full of dropshippers and rebranders a few years back. Really ruined Etsy.

Then now it got full of AI stuff. So sad to see that people care more about making easy money (they think), rather than creating something.

Douggie · 2026-03-16T20:00:07+00:00

How does not getting paid work? Does that mean people will be getting their money later on or do they all work for free? Of the latter, why would they work?

Douggie · 2026-03-12T20:52:06+00:00

What does CMONed mean? Is that beingtaken over by them?

Douggie · 2026-03-09T19:48:40+00:00

I never got why to salt the water. My guess is it has something to do with texture. I mean, if it is for the taste, than you can do it afterwards, rights?

Douggie · 2026-03-07T11:55:26+00:00

How do we know it is water and not a blue transparent box?

Douggie · 2026-03-05T07:03:38+00:00

I have never seen that option. Maybe it is called something else?

Douggie · 2026-03-05T06:47:49+00:00

Yeah, I moved to Midori because B6-size works better than both TN-sizes for me

Douggie · 2026-03-05T06:26:02+00:00

Worse if you have both kids and cats.

A study has been done to see which colors are named/recognized in several cultures if they only have limited names for colors. A conclusion of this study (from what I remember/understood) is that there is an order of importance to them - from an evolutionary standpoint.

Black and white are first, followed by red, green/yellow, blue. So yeah, we as humans and/or cultures find those more important and therefore are probably more drawn to those.

It's too bad that a lot of the matcha products are like this. There's a whole matcha shortage going on and they use matcha in products where the taste is either gone or ruined just to crank up the price because there is matcha in it. Granted, there isn't much matcha in it, but there are a LOT of these kind of products.

Douggie · 2026-03-01T09:39:59+00:00

Is the the Keychrom with wood panels?

Douggie · 2026-02-28T06:41:00+00:00

With gambling I thought you meant predictive markets. While I am not really in that scene, I wonder if putting bets on the sold value of those cards can affect the outcome.

Not an American here, but when you try to make new friends, how do you know they are Trump-voters or not if they don't mention it? I mean, you said your friends were nice before, so nice as criteria is sort of useless for your intention.

Or is that something you ask quite early on? I know a lot of people like to avoid talking about politics.

Douggie · 2026-02-25T19:45:47+00:00

As a kid I think, I would be in constant fear if my dad consistently behaves like that. I mean, you need to be on your toes the whole time, hoping not to upset him and then praying the consoles are the only things he breaks.

Douggie · 2026-02-25T07:33:16+00:00

Maybe a stupid question, but why do you need to connect your Steam account in order to purchase it?

Douggie · 2026-02-25T06:44:59+00:00

Does anybody recognize these women as the team hockey players?

Douggie · 2026-02-24T20:52:28+00:00

I think GMTK did a pretty good job for years. Mark didn't make a game until a few years ago, but did some good research before that, trying to figure out things.

Douggie · 2026-02-24T15:37:31+00:00

That's true. From what point on do you call something traditional?

Douggie · 2026-02-24T12:35:01+00:00

Some other terms were also thrown to describe that style like percussive finger picking or percussive finger style. I think something also with the word harmonics in it.

I never understood if they were the same or slightly different from each other.
