  That’s exactly what happened for me. I used to be a mod for a bunch of subreddits (including some fairly popular ones) but I realized I just didn’t really enjoy it anymore. Which is a shame because I’ve started and maintained a lot of communities over the years but being a Reddit mod just killed that for me.

  Cannot wait for this, I wishlisted it immediately when I first saw a post about it over the weekend.

  Tom Francis (the dev behind TBW and many other great games) posted videos throughout the dev cycle of the game on his YouTube channel. They’re definitely worth a watch for anyone interested in game design/development.

  I used to only use it for random change I’d get on the rare occasion I’d pay for something with cash. Nowadays it’s always filled with dog treats since my dog is nearly always with me.

  I’ve been thinking of getting 1 or 2 of those Ikea air filters, how loud are they when they run? Anything you wish you’d known before getting it?

  If all your devices are USB-C PD rated then you only need to have cables and wall adapters for your highest rated device as all others will only demand what they can tolerate when the handshake happens after plugging in the cable. The only exception would be devuces that don’t follow the spec but use the plug for cost saving reasons which is a completely seperate issue.

  Some of us don’t really have that luxury. For example, I don’t choose who I need to communicate with for work purposes.

  I completely agree, I really enjoyed D:OS II but I just haven’t been able to get into BG3 so far. I can’t say anything was bad or poorly accomplished but it’s just not clicking for me yet why everyone claims it’s the greatest game of all time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I keep salt and sugar in identical bottles. A mistake was bound to happen, and it just did.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Totally agree on that point. I took it more to mean it could be fatal if someone went to refill a jar of vinegar with bleach (or vice versa) since mixing the two creates chlorine gas which can be fatal.

  Vinegar can be a very effective cleaning agent though, it’s not just used for food.

  I love that it’s already been added to Valve Time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a title (Mr/Ms/Mrs) that is gender neutral?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Just fyi, M. in French is only equivalent to Mr, it’s short for Monsieur. Mme (short for Madame) is equivalent to Mrs, and Mlle (short for Mademoiselle) is equivalent to Miss/Ms.

  So using M. for everyone is equivalent to saying Mr. for everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I keep seeing the initials "ig" in comments. They clearly don't mean "Instagram". What does "ig" mean then?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  “I Guess”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Friday Facts #373 - Factorio: Space Age⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed, definitely excited to see what the revised tech tree does to the initial stage of a playthrough as well. This seems like a great way to make the game feel fresh and change up a player’s approach.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bullshit! working from home increases productivity and life quality⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally I’m the opposite. I only have so much control over my environment in the office, but at home I’m able to build an environment that’s way more productive for my brain. I’ll still go into the office as required (usually about a day every week or two) but I literally have to plan my workload around those days since I know I’ll be way less productive.
