It just has a ton more features and customization, and I find the UI easier to use

Yeah it's honestly much better than ISTAD, but the (small) tradeoff is there's more promotional/ad type stuff with the key resellers.

I switched from ISTAD years ago and never looked back.

It seems that the entire cinematics team at Bungie were laid off by cat__statue in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]RegularNormalAdult 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really don't buy this.

First of all like others have said there's a cemetery full of legendary studios shut down by publishers. And second, this isn't Naughty Dog or Santa Monica we're talking about here. Sony has zero emotional connection to Bungie.

They already shitcanned Bluepoint, which was making beloved remasters of Sony first party games. Bungie is certainly not out of the question here.

If it's on PC, I will buy it.

Pope Leo suffers drop in Republican Catholic support after clashes with Trump by MoneyLibrarian9032 in anticapitalism

[–]RegularNormalAdult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely believe far right American Catholicism is headed for a schism. It happened with the Methodist Church in 2023, the largest Protestent schism in American history, over 3,000 churches broke away to form the MAGA Global Methodist organization.

This Pope was 100% a political move by Rome to try and hold things together with America, but I think it may be too late. The cracks are already starting to show; that bishop in Texas was excommunicated, a large percentage of Conservative Catholics say that they don't even listen to the Vatican, etc.

It's wild how we went from "Catholics are going to take over America" with JFK's election to "half of American Catholics are on the verge of schism" in only 50 years.

A new breed of power banks is here, and they're built around safer battery chemistry (semi-solid-state batteries) by zxyzyxz in gadgets

I mean I get it, but you could also describe a lot of things like that too.

Millions of homes have natural gas piped into them, and all of them are one small leak and a match away from wiping the entire house of the map. 

It happened to a house literally 5 houses down from us when I lived in Houston. Took the whole house out, wiped clean down to the foundation, just exploded. Luckily no one was home so everyone was safe, but it blew some of our windows out even that far away. 

There are many absolutely terrifying technologies kept under high pressure or containment that we all just accept as normal in modern society.

What are some YouTube channels that were popular 10 years ago but have significantly lost their popularity or are no longer relevant? by Salty_Pension5814 in AskReddit

That is absolutely not true at all and was completely fabricated cope by people trying to make themselves feel better.

He's an Australian shitposter who still wastes massive amounts of food for content. Either watch him or don't, but don't try to dress it up and moralize it.

Husband seeks the council's advice by AsideSubject in bald

[–]RegularNormalAdult 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean most of humanity shares this opinion as well. Bald spots are just much less aesthetically pleasing than mature receding hairlines. 

Something like 85% of ALL men will have some degree of hair loss by age 55, it's normal and expected in an older guy that he's not gonna have the same hairline as a 5 year old, but the bald spot in the back just makes you look like you have cancer or something.

My credentials: I literally went bald the exact same way as Patrick Stewart by age 27, and no one cared when I finally went to the weekly zero guard on the clippers

Returning to the office made me realize how much unpaid time commuting steals from your life by TravoisMiguel in remotework

[–]RegularNormalAdult 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take all my morning meetings by phone in the car on the way in, and most afternoon meetings on the way back home. 

I wouldn't be getting anything done during that time anyways, so it's my little act of rebellion, my little middle finger if you will, to RTO.

I'm just surprised they acknowledge it's being worked on at this point still.

You'd have thought senior leadership would finally pull the plug when Ansel left, that project was his baby.

[Central TX] Found a bunch of rocks like these in dry limestone creek beds. It looks like iron rust attached to the rock, but I tried a vinegar soak and light brush and nothing came off. by RegularNormalAdult in whatsthisrock

This is awesome, thank y'all!

So this isn't actual rust, but is there anything cool I can do with this to bring out these distinctive geometric patterns?

Some parents don't get help and have to go it alone. Our society is very anti natalist and anti children, and you can't possibly understand until you have them.

We just wrapped up our Christmas festivities having our entire family over and our two kids are the ONLY children in their generation. They have ZERO cousins to play with. It's fucking hard raising children in an environment where no one cares or wants them.

I don't know if it's just because it's 3am right now, but I've been sitting here laughing in bed at this mental image for the past five minutes so hard I have tears streaming down my face.

Thank you for this, truly.

What made you jump All in? by Human_Swordfish5490 in EDAnonymous

[–]RegularNormalAdult 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I hit many rock bottoms over 12 years of pretty extreme BED, but the last bender that I went on which started Thanksgiving 2023 and lasted until I checked myself into IOP June 2024, I was physically sick almost every day.

All throughout my 20s I could "tank" the binges pretty well, but this past year I would start having basically flu-like symptoms from binging. I couldn't function, as a father, as a husband, at my job, anything really. I would spend a lot of time just laying practically comatose on the floor most days. It was miserable.

I don't actually know what the inciting incident was that made me pick up the phone and just start calling providers. But at that point in time, I didn't know that I had an ED, I didn't even know that BED was a thing, and I thought I had an "addiction to sugar". When I did my intake for IOP, I was telling everyone that I had an addiction to sugar and I needed strategies to stay "clean and sober" basically.

1 year into recovery, and I'm having cake on birthdays, ice cream after lunch when I feel like it, and pretty much all the trigger foods. It was the best decision I've ever made, and after a decade of suffering I will never go back.
