  This is the first I’m hearing about it, so now I’m doubly confused lol.

  Is it the ! that properly links a comm? I hadn’t tried before, was wondering why mine just gave mail to links.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remember to vote! Have you already?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  When I search “Ontario” I see Ontario@lemmy.ca with 231 MAU. The Kingston comm has 35 and Goderich about a dozen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the Wii U considered a flop?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I was (and am) a pretty avid gamer and I didn’t know that it wasn’t just a tablet for the Wii until years later when it came up on some podcast where they were like “yeah, doesn’t help that everyone just thought it was a new accessory for the Wii”. A large number of other kids that I knew had Wiis. I never knew anyone who even mentioned the Wii U irl.

  I’m also just now finding out that the 3DS apparently wasn’t just the newest DS model like the DS->DSi? lol

  I haven’t heard that term before, but I have noticed “hipster” being used less in recent years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do turkeys that tell you to cook from frozen usually turn out as good as thawed ones?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  fwiw I cook and I’ve never heard of it, but I wasn’t gonna complain about it to the commenter lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm right and the other vegans are wrong⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’m not in any vegan groups but I’ve seen (what is hopefully) a vocal online minority of those who use the label for killing-is-wrong reasons angrier at folks using it for any other reason than they are at folks who do consume animal products, insisting that the other camps should use “plant-based (diet)” instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 773 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me that a couple years ago I went back to Morrowind for the first time since I was a kid. Lot of nostalgia built up, and I still like it for what it is.

  I hit some enemy (one of them little bugs on the trail to Balmorra) and the game’s like “you missed”. Excuse me? No, I didn’t. I modded that out because that system only makes sense in turn-based RPGs or Disco-esque dialog that can easily and visually account for it; not in an action RPG. Damage resistance (or even immunity) can be fine, but attacks that visually hit but the game says miss never feel fair. Definitely a quirk of early games in the genre.

  I do overall prefer its expanded skill and gear system over later entries’ more simplified ones, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it just the norm now-a-days for grocery stores to have lots of stuff on the shelves that's past the best-by date?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I worked grocery for a couple years and we were instructed to do that, but we were also constantly understaffed and discouraged from taking the time to do so, so it often was only done on products whose sell by dates were within a couple months of receiving (dressings and the like).

  I vividly recall discovering one night that my coworkers hadn’t been doing this for our coffee section, and my acting manager was a tad passive-aggressive when he found that I’d spent about 30 minutes stuffing over 100 bags of coffee beans into boxes so it could be tossed (or given to a discount store or whatever). Some of the bags were 5 years out of date.

  This has led to me checking the dates of every perishable I pick up at the store.
