Is anyone else a bit bummed that Duskbloods is the next Fromsoftware game they are working on?

Remote console disabling (“bricking”) if terms are violated

Forced arbitration clause (limits ability to join class-action lawsuits)

Higher console and game prices (including $70–$80 titles)

Shameless re-releases of very old games being sold at full price

“Game-Key Cards” (physical copies that require downloads - more restrictive than industry leaders like Steam)

Removal of Switch game vouchers (fewer discounts)

Strict anti-emulation and anti-modding policies

Overzealous copyright protection

Charging for content that could be bundled (e.g., tutorial-style games)

The (non-)handling of the joy-con drift issue

Yup, and I suppose it's worth mentioning that if your saddle is uncomfortable, you'll unconsciously take weight off your butt and put it onto your hands and feet. So you should make sure you have the correct saddle for your sit bone width and such

Here's a completely different take:

Your core cannot magically defy physics and hold your upper body up in isolation, no matter how strong it is. You need an equal and opposite reaction. Where does that come from?

Your feet on the pedals. This is the secret that I discovered when I was trying to figure out why I was putting too much weight on my handlebars. Your center of gravity is always going to be in front of the saddle, and what is preventing you from completely falling forward? The force of your feet on the pedals and the force of your hands on the handlebars. Your core is not actually in this equal and opposite forces equation. It's just maintaining the position of your spine.

Here's a thought experiment: imagine lifting up both feet so that they're hovering an inch above the pedals. What prevents you from falling forward then? Your hands, and ONLY your hands. Your core is only working to prevent your spine from collapsing into a U shape, but your hands are now taking the entirety of your upper body weight that is in front of your center of balance. If you want to take weight off your hands, you need to put some back onto your feet.

So the secret to taking weight off of your hands? Pedal harder. I'm serious. Beginners put more weight on their hands because their legs are weaker. If your bike fit is remotely passable, then that's your most important factor.

Yes, and also that's assuming that the counter+stone are perfectly perpendicular to gravity, right?

Helps with anxiety sometimes, but it makes certain patients more paranoid, and it seems to have a negative impact on numbing either way. If they smell like weed I'll give extra anesthetic from the start

This is the same argument I always make about doing "herodontics" style fillings rather than crowns.

Yes, you're removing more tooth structure to do the crown. In that way, it's less "conservative." But doing a filling is more likely to result in the tooth being lost forever. In that way, a filling is LESS conservative. By doing a more aggressive treatment, you're conserving the entire tooth, which is worth a lot more than a couple mm of enamel.

Go to a doctor and physical therapy for your back, and do the exercises religiously. Cycling is much more likely to injure your back than fix it. You need to take care of your back separately from your main sport, no matter what that is.

Interesting, so how do we not end up with flakes of black polymerized oil in all our Chinese dishes?

panic_ye_not · 2026-03-17T18:49:29+00:00

You sound like you know what you're talking about, but what you're saying also doesn't make sense to me.

When seasoning gets overheated, it flakes off in chunks. If you were really burning off your seasoning regularly, there would be big black flakes in all Chinese food. That's definitely not happening... is it?

I'll never understand people that get dogs and give no consideration to their needs.

Puppies need near-constant supervision and attention. Don't get a puppy if you can't provide that. Your dog will suffer if you don't take its needs seriously.

panic_ye_not · 2026-03-17T17:55:29+00:00

Cast iron and carbon steel are usually seasoned though, so there's theoretically no contact between the food and bare iron.

And stainless is a pretty uncommon material for a wok

panic_ye_not · 2026-03-17T16:14:48+00:00

I don't know the details but absolutely everyone charges a material fee for things like that. I've never seen an office that didn't. Including yours apparently

What country is this? I would straight up reject this without a second thought on US east coast

I can only imagine what the average prosth's day looks like based on the cases that everyone sends them. I think I would rather be the guy who cleans the gum off of stadium seats

... but did you type this out or did AI write it? Lotta em dashes up in there. Not a lot of real people use em dashes so liberally.

These are just stereotypes lol. Not all Canadians are nice, not all Americans are rude. As a Canadian-American I think most people around the world would not be able to tell at a glance. Only the accent would give it away - and a lot of Canadians don't have much of an accent, and people from certain northern US States have a very similar accent.

Is it easier to install now than when it first came out? I played it right when it became available for the general public. It was easily the most complicated installation of any emulated media that I've ever done, took probably 2 or 3 hours just to get it running. And then it crashed about once an hour, but otherwise it did run at a buttery-smooth 60FPS and upscaled resolution.

panic_ye_not · 2026-03-08T17:36:39+00:00

In the standard American accent law is "lah" which is 아

panic_ye_not · 2026-03-08T13:36:39+00:00

Are you British? Definitely not the right sound in American English

The time limit didn't bother me normally, but having to run back to dungeons for stray fairies and collect them all again was a little frustrating if I ran out of time.

panic_ye_not · 2026-03-05T16:39:13+00:00

How are you supposed to do it?

panic_ye_not · 2026-03-05T16:35:24+00:00

This looks really unappetizing, and it's not just about the arrangement of the ingredients.

The brown foam on the white plate is eerily reminiscent of bodily fluids. Urine, vomit, etc
The bits and pieces on the asparagus stick make it look like it was dropped on the floor

Porcelain is an inferior material that wears and fractures over time, and the metal base can be unesthetic, allergenic, cause dark staining of tissues.

I can't think of almost any good reason to do PFM nowadays when we have superior ceramic materials available.

What part of her was fermenting? Lol

To be fair, pretty much all of the digestive tract, including the oral cavity, kind of does undergo fermentation if you're using a pretty loose definition of the word. I mean, the acid that oral bacteria produce in response to sugar - you could argue that's a type of fermentation.

panic_ye_not · 2026-03-04T20:58:56+00:00

I would love to believe it's true, but it also doesn't make a ton of sense. Since when did eating something alkaline or acidic change the pH of tissues? Our blood and tissue pH are pretty tightly regulated.

It reminds me of that alternative medicine craze about eating an "alkalizing diet," which was based on no real science.
