That’s probably a better use of your time anyway.

If you skip all the side stuff it’s still long but about 200 hours shorter.

Lol, same thing here. I told my partner “I’ve died about 5 times to the first enemy, so it seems pretty good so far.”

I’ve been enjoying it so far, but this opening area feels very empty. it’s a bit of a shock coming from the base game. A lot of people seemed to think the base game was too big / too empty, those same people would probably say shadow of the erdtree is a horseback riding simulator.

Relatable. I really just need to sit down and learn the engine by copying some existing simple games but I have a hard time getting myself to even start these days.

Guess I’m OOTL, why should Sam Altman be in jail? Did he avoid jail time or something?

Not defending the guy, he seems like every other tech ceo.

I’ll definitely need to get back to that. I had tried that for a bit but didn’t know enough of the language to do well with it, felt like I was getting there though.

I did use a service called lingopie for a bit. It let’s you slow down the shows it offers and directly translate captions as you go. Overall it was pretty slick, I just wasn’t at a level that made the shows feel particularly worthwhile (found myself pausing to read translations more than I probably should have).

That’s awesome! I checked out dreaming spanish a while back and had some decent progress for a bit. Unfortunately broke the habit because of life stuff and kind of just forgot about it. I agree the beginning is definitely a slog, but you have to start somewhere

Your progress is very encouraging to hear about, guess I’ll get back to it. Thanks for the details.

No recommendations, just pure jealousy. Bet it will be an awesome trip!

Any recommendations for studying Spanish? That seems like a fast pace to get to that level of fluency.

Are they? I watch YouTube on Firefox all the time, seems fine on my machine.

I think maybe 5+ years ago there were some performance issues caused by YT relying on features that were only implemented in Chrome, but I don’t recall having any issues wrt that for years.

You have diuretic right in your name tho

This is unfortunately pretty true still. Funny thing is that brewers don’t like that either, but owners demand trendy beer (where brewer-owners land on that spectrum is naturally on the trendy side though).

My experience in the home brew community (and lurking pro brewer communities) was typically people meming on the trends of the day: lots of pics of “buying ingredients” from the gas station candy aisle, complaining about the latest IPA fad, and bemoaning that they weren’t brewing a personal or local favorite (lots of German styles, which are great, but there’s a whole ass-world out there of beer y’all). Heck, from what I understand, homebrewing popped off in the 90s in response to terrible American macro beer options. It was pretty common back then to hack together your own equipment for brewing (probably mostly for mashing, apparently home sized equipment wasn’t really sold in the states then) to make a cool style (like a dunkel lol, we really had 0 beer options back then) they had never seen before.

It would be really cool to see more experimental or regional styles brewed again, but, obviously, the petty bourgeois owners want to make bank instead. We really need more coop breweries! Funnily enough, my SIL has mentioned to me that she wants to open a brewery with me. Every time I say “only if it’s a coop,” then the conversation ends. Wonder why that is?

It’s OK to like or dislike beer, you know.

How many fights have you started with that GNU Nano sticker? Seems like a fun (“fun”?) way to make new friends and enemies.

NixOs is great! I’d rather be trying it out for the first time on a trip than most other distros. The documentation is hit or miss, but it’s pretty painless to get yourself out of trouble.

I assume no one at this point

Dang, that’s a nice idea! Bookmarking this.

This really can’t be overstated. Joining my first local meeting was incredibly validating and felt like it breathed life back into me.
