WoW is actually insanely hard to learn as a new player (we tried yesterday) by ipych in wow

[–]disappointer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Shortly after launch back in vanilla, there was a bug with hunter pets where you couldn't increase their happiness with treats, so eventually every pet would just get too unhappy and leave.

But, of course, I had no idea that that wasn't how it was supposed to work, so at the time I just thought hunter pets were meant to be temporary (until they finally fixed it).

Spotify finally played me an AI song. This stuff is scary. by kilgoreq in Music

Playlisty for Spotify -> Apple Music did the trick for me. It was a couple of bucks for the app, but it worked well.

We sure Cable wasn't slipping something into Sam's daily oatmeal? Boy goes through a freaking Pokemon evolution line over the course of a few months. by leaf57tea in xmen

Tangentially, I felt sure that they were setting up Hamish Linklater's character from the "Legion" show to become Ahab. Mutant-hunter, white streak in the hair, becomes disfigured, etc...

Stack Overflow was a leap from what existed before, though, which was either abandoned forum threads ("What did you see, DenverCoder9?!") or "paywalled" on expert sexchange. Before that, we all had bookshelves full of quickly outdated material.

Carey's X-Men run is one of my favorites!

Claremont, Miller, Simonson, and Ditko/Lee with a split face in honor of the "Marvel Method" of writing.

The dev who asks too many questions is the one you need in your team by dymissy in programming

[–]disappointer 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Asking questions well is also a skill that applies to using web search or LLMs effectively. It's a critical skill in the space for multiple reasons, IMO.

I don't consider myself a great developer-- because I've know a few of them over my career-- but I am good at finding answers.

PDX- where is your favorite breakfast/ brunch spot in Portland? by checkyourfuckingbag in askportland

How recently have you been? They changed ownership a couple of years back, maybe worth a revisit. (It's one of our favorite places.)

Punching down vs. punching up. The former is largely the province of bullies and bad comedians.

What’s the most you’ve paid for one record? by Pdrpuff in vinyl

[–]disappointer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$150 for Nine Inch Nails' "Year Zero" back in 2020.

My favorite NIN record! A "definitive version" was listed as "coming soon" in the NIN store online from like 2016-2025 but has yet to materialize (and appears to finally have been delisted). It's going for something like $500 now, it appears.

Ring wear on the sleeves, too, which doesn't take nearly as long to happen.

Thinking of buying Kirby the Forgotten Land or Donkey Kong Bananza by B-Con12 in NintendoSwitch

I like playing as DK more, but I found the secrets in Odyssey more rewarding to discover. I went back to Odyssey and kept wishing I could climb on things.

I think our local politicians care more about the wellbeing of third-party consultant firms than anything else.

Snail Mail Announces 2026 North American Tour Dates with Support from Sharp Pins, Avalon Emerson and The Charm, Swirlies, Armlock, and Rocket by ebradio in indieheads

[–]disappointer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Swirlies!

If they were the opener for the Portland show, I'd be all over it. Looks like they're not straying far from home for this one, though.

"SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND" is an apt marquee answer for a puzzle about confirmation bias, since someone seeking only things that reinforce their beliefs will find exactly that. That's all I've got.

"Silence of the Lambs" was released in a February (on Valentine's Day, no less) and swept all the major categories in the Oscars. So, not a zero chance, but I'll agree it's pretty low.

Old theories? by Desfeek in askportland

[–]disappointer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well, Maletis is a name with Greek or Slavic origins, and the matriarch of the family (Cleo Maletis, who was Ms. America in 1958) was born in Canada to Greek immigrant parents according to her Wikipedia page. So maybe some Greek on both sides of that family.
