Absolutely agree. An aspirational goal to an open standard is not an open standard.

Bluesky Social has pledged to transfer the protocol’s development to a standards body such as the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in the near future.[11]

Second panel should have been a hot take 🤔

It’s generally less tiring on your body, especially your back, to carry weight lower.

Bending in general both bunches up material and stretches material. Wearing a onesie means every time you crouch down you risk a wedgie, which is not an issue when wearing pants.

Nude > pants > overalls

Steel might be difficult to digest, but it is very caloric dense.

But stand-up comedy has something for everyone!

Oh, this is about the depressing nexus between programming and corporate culture. Carry on.

Oh, that’s great, I think you’ve got to be almost there then!

Something else you can start adding is holding at the top then lowering down with as much control as possible, and pausing every inch or so. You can also work on shifting weight from one arm to the other between each pause (e.g. lower an inch with as much weight as you can on the left then pause for a second to shift as much as you can to the right and lower another inch).

One thing that I think helps is just hanging. Gets you used to carrying your bodyweight in a way that assisted doesn’t. What you’re doing will still help with full range of motion, but maybe at the end just hang as long as you can. At some point you can also add this at the top (e.g. hop up to bar to chin and hold as long as possible)

Both are great games, with 1 being a little rough around the edges but still very playable. The gameplay is different enough that it’s worth playing them both imo. Story might be better if you play 1 first, but I played through 2 first, then went back later to play 1 and was pleasantly surprised how good it was.

I probably vehemently disagree with some recommendations to play BG 1 and 2 btw, your mileage may vary. It requires very specific builds and knowledge of DnD, or lots of trial and error. You can easily build a well rounded group and find yourself unable to progress because of lacking one very specific thing. If that doesn’t sound to annoying, it might be worth a shot. If nothing else, rolling characters is fun.

I didn’t see these in the list:

Wyldermyth - indie fairly unique story building campaign with turn based tactical combat.

Wastelands 3 - post apocalyptic RPG with good story, choices, and characters. Great tactical turn based combat. Other than the other Larian games this is closest to filling the BG 3 shaped hole.

Halo Master Chief Collection; 1 - 3, Reach, and ODST are amazing co-op. We’ve played through all of them multiple times. 4 is… disappointing.

I’ve read that human skin particles make up a significant portion of household dust.

… Are you a robot?

Wow, that’s one more season that I knew about, assumed it’d never go beyond the first.

To be fair, that thing could wreck her face if it got defensive (or hungry they’ll happily eat whatever if it’s small and accessible) and went for a chomp.

Huh

Hexbear is an 8/10 on this scale

If the goal of this meme was to start a discussion pointing out all of the shortcomings or nuclear or was very successful.

Plenty of benefits, but pretty far from problem free.

When can we start talking about fusion again?

Predates the 8086, truly a marvel of the transition point of biological to mechanical engineering.

I get the attitude that when mocking shitbags anything is fair game, but this sort of thing lumps in Innocent people with the shitbag.

And literally everything else and cramming it into one universe

It’s not about what players want, it’s about what they’ll buy, and bamboozling works way too often.

Eh, or they just don’t want a forever history stored on their own computer any more than they want it stored on someone else’s computer.
