    I sometimes get food delivered at work if I forgot to bring some that day. Can't just shut the store and drive around, gotta get someone else to bring it to me. Sometimes I get food delivered at home because we're three people with two cars, so sometimes I just don't have a car. Back in my university days I got food delivered because the city I lived in was awful for parking, if I hopped in my car and went to pick up food, I'd spend 30 minutes trying to find a parking spot, and then 15 minutes walking home because I couldn't find one close to my home anyway. It's not an option I use a lot, but I love that it exists.

    I currently live practically next door to a Greek restaurant, a Turkish restaurant and an Italian restaurant, so I haven't gotten anything delivered here since I moved here. I can just walk.



  • Was there anything in particular you disliked, or just the whole thing?

    I've been pretty bored of Pokémon games, been using the same four attack combat system for 25 years now, sure we get a couple new critters and some behind the scenes modifiers like abilities and held items, but overall it's just been the same exact combat since at the very least Ruby and Sapphire.

    I loved Legends Arceus because it felt like a Pokémon game, but it had enough core gameplay changes that it felt fresh and new and exciting. Sneaking around in the wild and catching Pokémon without even fighting them, the whole game only having a dozen or so trainers so you generally don't do combat unless you choose to do so, the agile/strong moves mixing things up, crafting your own stuff. It all felt very Pokémon while at the same time not being more of the same old shit I've played 200 times before. Filling the Pokédex not by catching a critter and stuffing it in a box, but by observing them, learning about them, actually engaging with them. Loved it.

    Meanwhile Pokémon Violet I barely even played at all, ended up watching Smallant play through it on Youtube so I'd know the story I missed without having to play through all of it.


  • SavvySillybug [any]tochatDon’t like the redesign.

    I like the redesign, mostly because it fixed the experience of using this site at half width on a 1920x display. The sidebar is no longer completely in the way to pointlessly make my window narrower and I can actually middle click images to open them in new tabs.



  • I wonder how they do that. Do they pay someone to apply to be a mod, or do they pick an existing mod and offer them cash to do it full time? Do they talk to the mod team and go "we would like to pay someone to help out, can you let them in"?




  • I got 500k comment karma on that hellsite and I gotta admit it feels great to start an interesting discussion and get all the upvotes and just have a good time talking to people in little subthreads.

    ...or to make a really stupid joke and have 70 people go ayyyy. Both are fun.



  • My favorite art program supports dragging images straight into the canvas to open as a new canvas, or into the layers to add as a new layer. It can take .webp in the canvas and open it just fine, but try to directly insert it as a layer does nothing. So I gotta open as a new work, Ctrl+A Ctrl+X, Ctrl+Shift+Tab, Ctrl+V just to put a webp as a new layer. And of course it can't even export as a webp either.


  • I always buy the cheapest Sennheiser (or now Epos after the rebrand) headset and it always serves me well. Weighs nothing so it's practically impossible to be uncomfortable. Always a great mic. And adequate sound. Real AUX, none of that USB stuff in my headset, thank you very much.

    For controllers I always go genuine Xbox... currently using a second(?) gen Xbox One controller, but I bought that for 70 bucks, years ago, I would definitely not pay 250. Also recently bought one of those Nintendo guys, it's missing analog triggers but it has motion, it's a pretty good controller if you don't need analog triggers.

    I've spent half my childhood playing on crappy controllers, and I'm not going back.
