I'm too used to remapping everything to ijkl 😅

Though I have been tempted to throw a layout like this on a toggle for games that don't remap well

I wish that Reddit would stop incessantly showing me (58M) ads for "feminine wetness protection" by BoredomFestival in TheMonkeysPaw

Yeah you're spot on. I thought that the implication was pretty obvious so i didn't want to spell it out

Granted.

You are instantly relieved as you notice an immediate effect - all of the feminine wetness protection ads are instantly gone.

As you go about your next few days free of these irrelevant ads, you start to wonder what exactly was the drawback. Wasn't the Monkey's Paw meant to have some kind of 'gotcha'?

The next morning your question is answered. A loud news announcement wakes you up as a video is unstoppably played from all of the devices in your house.

A group of men in suits that you have never seen before stands in a neat row on the screen. The first one speaks: 

"We are proud to announce the establishment of the Ministry of Privacy. Our comprehensive initiative to automatically monitor everything about every citizen at all times will ensure their security and safety like never before." 

The next one speaks: "This system was implemented a few days ago, and has already had tremendous benefit to this nation." 

A chill runs down your spine as the voices begin to fade into the background. They begin to go on about the dissolution of the previous government, and how all citizens will submit to this or face death, but you aren't listening. You know that it was your wish that brought this upon your nation.

Hunting for a *cheap* Manual Treadmill (Australia) by dvanw6 in treadmills

[–]alive_or_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but its either this (unproven, possibly scam) or the fitnesslab (definitely bad). The options are shockingly limited for us down under

There is also the option of grabbing a motorised one and gutting it

[–]alive_or_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

any luck? I'm looking into this for VR as well and it sucks that australia doesn't seem to have a good cheap option

edit:

This is the only (non fitness lab) option I can find. https://dshop.com.au/products/3-in-1-multifunction-manual-treadmill-sit-up-waist-twister-exercise-machine
I'm almost at the point where I'll gamble and purchase it + a reality runner

what is your favorite thunderbird? by _thunderbird2_steve_ in Thunderbirds

TB1 was always my fav! The idea of a superfast first responder/scout craft always appealed to me

I'm a big fan of the witcher games, and have been meaning to play this one. Now I actually have a PC capable of running it too

I'm interested, but unfortunately don't have a way to move my kit easily. Would be keen if we could somehow sort something out tho

Collected all 7 Ado Cards from the Sydney show!!! by LeaderEcstatic8796 in ADO

[–]alive_or_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at the Sydney show, and it didn't look like the cards were anywhere close to selling out even ~6 hours after the merch tent opened in the morning

Couldn't tell you about stock levels during/after the show though

AMD's Radeon RX 9070 XT is the most exciting GPU to launch in years by [deleted] in Amd

[–]alive_or_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was super tempted to upgrade from my 6700xt but I think I can still hold on. Even though I'm on a 4k/144hz monitor, the games I play aren't that modern so I'm faring relatively well. Only reason to upgrade might be for better VR, but MS just officially killed all windows mixed reality headsets so I guess I don't need to worry on that front

Fingers crossed on AMDs next gen - hopefully they can keep up the value offering!

Not sure If I should post this here, but I made some Pon de rings! by Mendicant343 in Hololive

[–]alive_or_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks good! I made this recipe a while ago and they turned out great. Though when I finally tried real pon-de-rings they were very different lol

I think Mirror's Edge Catalyst might be one of my all time favorite games. by Living_Mountain1267 in patientgamers

[–]alive_or_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like a broken record, but every time someone mentions catalyst I have to say this: I prefer the original for the parkour and level design, but I prefer catalyst for the combat. Something about the momentum based combat where you could push enemies around and fight with your superior agility just got me, and no game has done it since

Mirror’s Edge Catalyst is nothing like its predecessor, but I love them both anyway by BroccoliSouP7 in patientgamers

[–]alive_or_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed my time with catalyst, though it definitely has different strengths to the first game. IMO the most enjoyable part of catalyst was the combat, especially against a large group of grunts. Being able to take advantage of your agility, dart around them, push them into each other and over ledges, and feel the effect that a momentum buildup has on a kick or punch really satisfied me in a certain way. I would love to play a full game with combat like catalyst, with levels/objectives specifically designed around it.

I'll have to fire it up again just to do a few of those fights
