If Donkey Kong doesn’t have a rap in this game I’m going to riot

Nothing is private on Fediverse. Everything is public so that there is maximum interoperability between applications and instances of the same application. I’ve seen people use this image to describe what the “security” is like for DMs -

Yeah people get played by their biological urges and evolutionary psychology throughout the entire process. Even newborn babies are programmed to scream intermittently so that the parents are never well rested, and this is theorized to be to prevent the parents from producing another baby in quick succession who takes attention from baby #1.

James Bond games have a storied and mixed pedigree. It’s been a long time since the highs of Goldeneye N64 and Nightfire on PS2!

I’m always kind of rooting for them to be good but I’ve not bought any for decades.

France is particularly patriotic out of Western countries I’ve visited. Not an expert but it’s a bit of a hangover from the French revolution, they have a strong focus on integration and preserving their shared culture.

IMO it’s ban/block evasion which is the biggest con to decentralization. It’s a problem on centralized platforms but the many servers design makes it easier on fediverse.

It’s not a huge deal to me because I don’t block many things but might be a consideration for people with a sensitive disposition.

Mike Jones had such a promising career after getting a fairly large segment of the population to remember a phone number he rapped - 218-330-8004.

He got sunk by a beef after releasing 1 album IIRC

That game looked fine to me tbh. I think it might have been the point that their yearly release schedule had begun to saturate the brand as opposed to the games getting worse.

Is that the Call Of Doggy one? To be honest I’ve only actually finished COD4.

I’ve noticed some of my gay friends try to “reclaim” slurs while others treat the words as taboo. Seems like a matter of personal preference to me.

I loved the bait and switch where all the marketing suggested it would be a John Wick rip off but the movie turned out to be a lot more original

I didn’t realise Bomb Rush Cyberfunk had an option to toggle the 30FPS framerate limit. Can confirm it’s playing buttery smooth on my Switch 2 now.

Not sure why the preview is broken. Let me know if the link is also not working and I can try to edit it with a new one.

I think its a pun because Japanese doesn’t have a distinct ‘r’ sound so the title can be read as “Bravely Default” or “Bravery Default”… not sure if it’s intentional!

The game is from square enix who did all the Final Fantasy series. Pretty similar to FF5 in some ways. There is a “default” mechanic in combat which the title is referring to.

mpv is worth a shout out as well

When I worked in catering we were taught to open bottles quietly because the sound of bottles being popped sounds like money being spent to the event organiser and you want to serve/charge them for as many bottles as possible.

Yes, rich people tend to wear expensive but durable clothes that last a long time.

Have also noticed they tend to drive older cars too. I guess they have nothing to prove to anyone else.

They’ve made a good start by naming it 2 so people realise it’s a new console instead of an add-on (like many did with wii-U)

Upper back pain is quite unusual compared to lower back pain. Definitely worth getting checked out by a doctor when you can.

Anyway if you are working from home try to move to a different position every 30-40 mins. I find that standing up and putting the laptop on a chest of drawers or something similar for a while really helps with stopping the pain accruing in a certain area. If that’s too painful try to be on your feet semi-frequently, like taking a bathroom break and walking around the block.

You probably don’t want to do any strenuous exercise like pilates but some light yoga might help.

Somewhere in the OP you mentioned NSAID’s which are what I get prescribed - the one I have is called diclofenac and it’s stronger than ibuprofen but there are even stronger ones too.

One of my childhood friends had a partner who discovered she was trans while they were in a long-term relationship. They tried to make it work but I think that only caused the whole situation to become messier.

Didn’t help that both of them were living with my friend’s mother and the partner who was transitioning refused to get a job.

Edit: Childhood friend is a woman; her ex is an MTF woman. Just to be clear on the circumstances.
