Who is having trouble finding a hotel room in New York City? It's expensive, but everything is expensive there.

Very cool update. It seems like a real mountain you guys are having to climb with this DE, however. Do you guys think you'll have something even remotely usable by the average person in the next year or two? It just seems like a lot of work, as cool as it is.

It probably is legal, and if it isn't no one has the resources possible to fight against Nintendo. At least, no one who would be interested in taking that fight.

My prediction- someone's going to try running a major tournament, and we'll see if Nintendo is serious about policing things then (they probably will be, unfortunately). It does mean that any outside investment coming into Melee will be nil from here on out, so it's effectively capped the growth of Melee forever.

I agree on the annoying timed out demo, I thought the same thing when I missed out on a demo during the last steam next fest. Crazy how even demos are impacted by the ethereal nature of digital storefronts and their sometimes inconsistent access.

It took a lot out of me making time for these demos when I work a full-time job, but I just knew something like that was going to happen if I didn't get around to them.

Ah, I only played the first level, I didn't finish every demo.

It's depressing how bad Android tablets are right now. Both iPad and Android tablets suck to repair and take a lot of user control out of your hands, but iPads are ridiculously more powerful, have better "official" software support in the world, and age a lot more gracefully.

I'm increasingly tempted to drop my Android tablet altogether - the only thing stopping me at this point is the support for "non-official" apps distributed outside of the play store that I enjoy so much.

It's the same weapon, and some armor. It's actually lead to quite a bit of amusing cheese, where you can duplicate evos using this one simple trick!

Lifeline's still pretty good if you play aggressively with a team though- she's great for kind of immediately picking everyone back up for any incoming third parties. I suspect she'll see more usage again if the new legend isn't too overpowering a support.

Yeah. It's sad to say but I've kind of given up on playing the game on Linux at this point. "Fortunately", I have to use Windows for WFH so it's not a huge deal if I want to get some Apex in.

Thanks! As someone corrected me, it it "Microcivilization", my b on the misnaming.

The demo really was an excellent content warning in itself. I hope that's the actual opening- that way people who buy it and don't know what they're getting into can find out real quick, and get their return.

Plex is better at looking up show names, has an easier UI to set up more complicated stuff like hardware acceleration, has better clients across a variety of platforms... the only reason I'm using Jellyfin over Plex at this point is because I anticipate Plex shitting the bed. If you're on Plex, there's no reason to swap from it, and honestly if you're comparing the two as a newbie, Plex is still a much easier option.

Wikis like Fandom typically make it easy/easier to create and edit pages. Wiki editors are rare and you want to make it as easy for them to latch onto helping and volunteering as is possible.

Maybe a fediverse option isn't needed (though the below comment's point about having a central account would make it easier for a lot of users), but having a convenient and easy way to create a wiki for your favorite fandom, without using Fandom would go a long way toward breaking Fandom's hold over the entertainment sections of the internet.

Happy to hear that then. Looking forward to trying it out on my laptop!

I'm curious why you feel that way. I absolutely adored the ending of the first season- felt like a perfectly human misunderstanding between Rudy and the princess.

The cringe barrier is definitely hard for me to get through. There's a lot of good anime with very dumb moments that I struggle to move forward in.

Yeah enjoying the show really does require being slow boiled on garbage anime, like the old tale about the frog and a boiling pot that isn't true.

I'm just bad at racing games in the first place, so not being able to move my camera with right joystick really messed with my head.

I was using an 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth controller on PC. I don't know why the right stick didn't control the camera, if it is supposed to actually work correctly. I guess I must have pressed the wrong button or something. Guess I'll never know now 🤷

During HisWattson's 14 hour stream on the first day of competitive, he and his team were duplicating armors a lot at the start. By beating a team, killing the dogs and spiders nearby, and then crafting the evo once or twice, they could guarantee a red evo that would then get duped.

You dive off the map, teammate grabs that evo and then dives off map, then both of you get respawned with red evos and even duplicate items (sans attachments, of course).

They actually got dove by a pred team from last season doing this, but since everyone on the team had red evos, HisWattson's squad beat them. It was actually pretty funny, if a little bonkers.

And since this season incentivizes placing over kills by a significant margin, this isn't a braindead strategy, though it requires your teammates cooperating and your squad's speediness in getting that higher level EVO.

You say the first paragraph is if I don't agree with the idea that you shouldn't have sex with people who are considerably dumber than you. It's generally a little icky if you have sex with someone who is mentally deficient.

You can't really solve the problem of isekai protagonist not being able to have sex. But when you can't have sex, it doesn't give free license to have sex with children.
