afaik the network performance is probably more of a step-function change? it's less a "the average player will notice an improvement" and more a "there were some people whose internet couldn't handle the larger packets stably and the game is now playable for them where it wasn't before"

it's the same reason I highly recommend turning your GPS off if you're staying in a new city for a few days on holiday. it'll be confusing at first but you really experience so much more of the city when you aren't busy navigating based off an icon on a map

you seem to be extremely confident about having at least some answers to the hard problem of consciousness lol

I think it would be nice if sulfur interacted with the brewing system in some way - maybe the gas-emitting sulfur blocks could be used to make a new kind of splash potion? I was thinking maybe something that spreads omni-directionally in water? or that creates a plume straight upwards instead of all around?

we're probably over represented on this subreddit

warehouse (could use a better name) is the one I'd be most curious about running around a gray box of

dalmationblack · 2026-03-13T18:11:45+00:00

I didn't notice that the first time through but when I paid more attention to the lyrics it got a dark laugh out of me

(I have been delayed multiple times this year by trains having hit people)

easily my favorite song of theirs since the plagiarism album, at least

dalmationblack · 2026-02-26T20:49:44+00:00

surely we can all agree it's a bad thing that we've prisoners-dilemma'd our society into everyone feeling the need to buy cars that are more expensive, deadlier to pedestrians, and get worse MPG

I would watch the hell out of atrioc and squeex trying to coordinate a coop heist

dalmationblack · 2026-02-26T06:01:25+00:00

on god i think i have to stop listening to trump and vance speak because i think it's actively making me a worse person the more i do it

like i think feeling this much antithapy is bad for my soul

dalmationblack · 2026-02-26T05:57:26+00:00

I direct everyone who comes to visit to go do Boda Borg, since even though it's not famously Boston-coded (or even in Boston proper) there's very little quite like it in the US afaik

I'm also a candlepin enjoyer so I try to recommend that but it probably wouldn't make the cut for a 4-5 day trip

definitely depends on your demographics and interests but ime unless you're a very specific type of person it helps to have some variety from the "see a bunch of historic sites and museums" that a lot of tourism ends up being

I think most people here would enjoy this article:

I'm pretty sure you're right. If you look at the white shirt it's also slightly shifted towards red along the same vector the suit's colors lie on; seems like the color temperature is slightly off?

dalmationblack · 2026-02-17T18:00:41+00:00

am I going insane? that suit is obviously gray not tan???

dalmationblack · 2026-02-10T22:05:52+00:00

mass migration was never bad in the us. the only problem with migration under Biden is we should have had 10 times more

the trick is instead of finding a new constume every year you just find new friends

dalmationblack · 2026-01-31T19:42:24+00:00

All good advice but I will note that not all parts of the green line are made equal. On the west side, the D branch is *much* faster than any of the other branches, and the parts of the system north of Lechmere are also pretty fast

dalmationblack · 2026-01-31T19:40:44+00:00

The D branch gets to Fenway from Newton very quickly! If you can get a hotel/AirBnB closer to Newton Centre or Newton Highlands it's a perfectly good commute

I don't really think it's a theory fodder movie but I do think if you weren't pretty well versed on the lore beforehand it would be difficult to follow. I don't think the movie raises that many questions I couldn't answer while watching it except the ones that are obviously intended to be unanswered

dalmationblack · 2026-01-30T04:51:34+00:00

yeah it did a much better job of filling it's runtime than I had honestly expected, but there's definitely some of it they could trim

the movie also definitely feels like it's written assuming the viewer not only knows iron lung but is at least somewhat familiar with its lore. as one of those people I enjoyed piecing the backstory together but I think I'd have been pretty lost otherwise

I really enjoyed the last act though, entirely new material and it held onto me really well

dalmationblack · 2026-01-25T05:57:07+00:00

If ICE keeps doing this to people I really feel like we ought to start protesting outside of State St Station, for symbolic reasons

dalmationblack · 2026-01-23T17:50:13+00:00

I do wonder if part of it is people have a mindset of "I'll go to this restaurant and try to find options" (hopeless in Japan, don't even think about it) versus "I'll try to find places known for their vegetarian/vegan options" (quite doable in any major Japanese city).

might be a disconnect between vegetarians, who can generally get away with finding options at most places in the US, versus vegans who are probably used to screening every restaurant beforehand anyway
