I love this, so creative and fun to play!

Exactly. They act like they are the "authority" when most of their initial statements were wrong. It's understandable to be wrong because no one knew much about this virus at first, and everyone, including the ones that were proven right, was making guesses. But labelling the opposite side as "misinformation" only to agree with them afterwards is disgusting.

Let's not deal with absolutes here. I enjoy working from home because my setup is comfy and I live mostly alone. But I'm also aware not everyone has the privilege like this. Not even myself last year before I moved out.

Agree with this so much. A lot of people take pride in being naive about the news. That's a privilege if you live in a reasonable environment, when others take care of reading the news, defending you from unreasonable legislations, policies, etc. It's not something to recommend to others, though. Imagine living under an oppressive government (this is surprisingly common) that invents laws every day just to arrest you for saying the wrong thing - knowing how to minimize your chance of getting arrested randomly is critical.

Exactly. Every enemy placement is relevant to the lore. Even their moves, spells, incantations tell you something about the backstory. This was what I like in the Souls series, but they had a "linear" path. To think they pulled this off in one of the most massive maps in a video game (without any DLCs!) is incredible.

If you only follow the main quest, you're going to get stuck at some point unless you follow online guides to get overpowered early. This forces the player to explore the map, fight some manageable bosses and come back. Only then the player will find how massive the map really is. I'm 70 hours into the game, and am still finding new areas in Limgrave (the area where you start the game). And like all FromSoftware games, the side quests are very interesting, and lets you discover more of both the map and the lore.

This game is really a masterpiece.

Also, being a mage (astrologer) is definitely not easier than the other classes, unless you find powerful spells and staffs early in the game by chance or through guides. Any class could be made easy using this method.

I used to do this a lot because It thought it's more polite to check in with "can I ask you a question about <something>?". It took me way too long to realize this behavior was actually annoying lol

Same. Surely this was a joke but man, I hope it stays as a joke.

I've always wondered how people build such clean interface. One of the best UIs I've seen in a while. Nice work!

Compared to Slack (on Windows), Teams is decent. Slack freezes many times a day for me, misses important notifications, and sometimes just crashes. There's also no group video calls, although I find huddles very useful at times...but looking at the comments, maybe I just forgot it's awfulness since the last time I used it was 2 years ago

That's basically me except I don't even charge for playing. I've been accompanying singers for quite a few years, mostly friends but not requesting any money.

Thanks for mentioning this when I almost thought I did everything for money!

I once hosted a side project with a Raspberry Pi at home. One week later I got lots of unknown IPs from China trying to access php admin / other admin URLs I don't remember with default usernames and presumably password. Luckily I didn't set up an admin console. No I don't want the risk of someone trying to enter my network. Even if I have a firewall and the best security practices I may worry about that at night, like strangers trying to break your lock.

Cool! I miss writing plain htmls - no setup, no installs. Just open a text editor (Notepad!) and you can get started.

I'm pretty sure the guy maintaining my code I wrote in my first (well, every...) job would get irritated at the style. Man, I can't even look at those trash now. I had the same expectations for other senior devs at my company when I started my new job and thought "why would they write such convoluted stuff?". Months later, I was writing similar code because I now know better.

Sock shoe sock shoe...who would do such an atrocious thing??

Never knew streamlit now has a cloud sharing platform. The UI has improved so much as well

I guess it depends on the location and wealth. Eating healthy is wayyyy more expensive than cooking healthy in some cities, even when you can buy a meal virtually everywhere.

Are you sure you want standards like Russia or China? The definition of "fraudulent people" there might just be...different

Let me add that Japan also doesn't claim an independent country (Taiwan) as their own territory. And they don't raid new agencies for reporting the truth. These are the things people complain about China, not the traditional culture.

I wanted to comment, but deleted them since you've described my thoughts seeing the parent comment. All I'm going to say is I'm not a "Westerner" so I don't view things in the western perspective.

No I don't have kids, which is why I'm able to imagine making that choice. I agree different people will have different choices, just that the parent might need to ask a different demographic.

Even with kids, parents that aren't well off often sacrifice their wellbeing for their family. For example, people that work two jobs for a total of 16-18 hours a day aren't rare where I live. They are aware this affects their health, shortens their life span and their time with kids, but they make the choice so that their family could survive.

Tokyo, and most big Japan cities, are probably the only cities I could visit regularly without getting bored. Whether it's cuisine, the shops, or the people, it felt like a home away from home. It's surely super crowded in some areas, but you don't have to go there either. There are plenty of areas where you could enjoy a quiet (literally) afternoon sipping a good coffee without having to queue up. Also, it's so damn clean compared to other major cities in the world.

Just avoid the train during peak hours, and you'll enjoy every moment staying there.

When I have that 10 billion, I might want to extend my life just to enjoy it more, like all the rich people do. But right now? I don’t even need to think twice to accept that offer lol. My time isn’t that precious when 50% of it is spent working for food and shelter, and trying to stay fit so that I don’t stop being capable of working.

I rewrote and updated my personal project too!

Apart from that, I:

Worked out consistently

Moved out alone

Got a job in a promising industry (though I still don't like working)

Still doing quite bad in some areas I want to improve, like investing, be more organised, playing music, etc.

Got my friend's kindle but didn't read even a fraction of what I've read in 2020

Overall, I'm progressing, albeit slowly.

I saw the post the other day, and immediately switched to Bitwarden. I guess I was right that LastPass isn't safe enough. Bugs are inevitable but how they spin it shows they don't want to take responsibility (what was the bug??)

My only motivation for work is the possibility of retiring without starving

Ok I'm going to be lazy from now on to avoid being fired...

I have no idea man. Like I said in another comment, I feel you on the documentation part. They are...not helpful.

I'm using .xyz domains for my side projects because they are cheap. Guess they are because they look "spammy" to some.

You certainly don't need 20GB to start with a simple Windows app. OP probably got confused because of the documentation and downloaded extra stuff.
