  You mean Portugal?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On a lighter note: Why do people still buy fast food?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Usually a craving (This is the only reason I go to McDonald’s once a year or so) or it’s something I want to try that I don’t have at home (like Jollibee or Shackshack).

  I live in Berlin, and while I don’t have a balcony myself, I spend a lot of time enviously starring at my neighbours that do, as they use them quite a bit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do residential skyscrapers always seem to include balconies that never get used?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A friend of mine in Toronto is forbidden to smoke on his balcony now.

  Personally, setting a daily goal of 10k steps has gamified it for me. Keeping my streak going motivates me to get out there and walk, wherever I am.

  You’re going to turn down a perfectly good cup of spit in this economy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I learned from TV, American shows like Seinfeld or Simpsons where the characters are always wearing shoes. Growing up in Canada we didn’t do that and I thought it was weird

  I picked this up over the summer, but didn’t get too far into it before spending some extended time away from my PC. Will be looking forward to checking it out next year.

  I do hope they manage Steamdeck support by then – I remember it working okay when I tried it, but I think there was poor controller support.

  I’ve had a few experiences recently where the stem wiggled, and the skin was browned nicely, but when I cut into it and tried to peel it, the bottome part was extremely hard and difficult to separate from the peel, but the top part was easily peeled and ready to eat – Do you know what causes that or how to avoid it?

  Looking forward to giving it a go! What a strange time for release though.

  I put down BG3 to start Starfield and am having a blast! Really excited to get back into BG3 though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s better than I thought it would be but not a great primary experience. In space and exploring planets you can enjoy 30+ FPS, but in the main cities, your framerate will be in the 20s. I haven’t encountered combat there so it’s less of an issue, but still not great

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Same. Loving my time with it. It’s great that they’ve captured the things I loved about their old games (no surprise) but too bad they can’t alleviate the immersion breaking issues of their old games (again no surprise).

  I would also go with a non-alcoholic beer. stortebecker Atlantic Ale for me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur’s Gate 3 Delay Shows The Xbox Series S Still A Headache For Developers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  PS5 owners are still waiting for the originally planned release date in September. Only the PC release moved to yesterday.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the current "favorite" show?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Season 2 has some really anxious episodes. I don’t think anything tops that one-shot ep in S1, but it definitely comes close.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's Party Time: Baldur's Gate 3 is Out Now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure the gameplay is well tested (it has a overwhelmingly positive on Steam already from Early Access), but it’s a huge game, and everything beyond Act 1 is brand new, plus many things in Act 1 have been changed (ex. one origin character was rescripted and recorded).

  So while the gameplay and the implementation of the 5e ruleset is well known, the rest of the story and the journey is still mostly new, and that’s a huge part of what will make people enjoy the game or not.

  Just my few cents on why it’s still important to see how it reviews. Mortismal Gaming is already reporting that there are some crashes, bugs in the release version, especially in the later acts (even if that is normal for a game of this scope, it’s good to know).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the current "favorite" show?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The Bear was very good. Season 2 even moreao than Season 1.
