- Comment on Withdrawal is going to make people go mad 6 days ago:
Kauai Coffee is a relatively large operation that exports to the continental US and is more like $9 retail (and perpetually on sale for $7.50 or so) for a 10oz bag in the grocery store.
It’s not cheap coffee, but it’s certainly not top of the line priced coffee.
They do make some coffees that are more than $25/lb, but not the "regular* stuff people would buy in a store.
Of course I agree that their price will go up with the market with tariffs introduced, and that in general the tariffs are a terrible, terrible idea.

I feel the same, I’ve had a bunch of pixels since the 2
I’m going to be buying a Fairphone 5 when my current pixel needs replacing, which is coming soonish

Wanna explain it for my friend who doesn’t get it?
- Comment on My wacky indie game has reached 6000 wishlists, I made this meme to explain how it feels 4 weeks ago:
Hey, I’m one of those wishlisters!
I’m excited to see it. Your inspiration games are great (anything that says similar to Outer Wilds is going on the wishlist, basically), and I’m looking forward to your narrative. I haven’t played the demo yet and was going to go in blind.
Cheers man, hope it is okay for your work life balance soon enough.

I’m an idiot, no clue how I missed that

It’s somehow not on the list? That’s actually unbelievable
- Comment on (not) shipping gaming PCs 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, a truck would make me feel better. It’s definitely a risk to move it myself uninsured. For comparison, looks like post tax prices delivered of ~14-18% more in Denmark than the US where we are.
That’s a fair bit, but I’m not sure we’re in the market to try this hard to save a few hundred dollars in such a massive move. I lean towards selling, especially once we packed a big suitcase and it went VERY quick with stuff we love lol
- Comment on (not) shipping gaming PCs 5 weeks ago:
Very very little to move. Just what we can carry onto planes basically. Hoping to stay in a spot for many years, but you never know. The packaging is a good idea, I should price compare properly
- Comment on (not) shipping gaming PCs 5 weeks ago:
Oh that’s a great call. I’ll have to look and find the balance here between ship and buy.
- Comment on (not) shipping gaming PCs 5 weeks ago:
Great suggestion, I think making them ready to play might be the move
- Comment on (not) shipping gaming PCs 5 weeks ago:
They’re not super old, we’ve got some pics and such we like obviously. Maybe ~100 gigs total of “important files” but it sounds nice to have “my computer” back when I arrive?

Love your write up. I feel similarly, and many many randomizer runs (Archipelago.gg is great for it), speedruns, and classic playthroughs later I still find the atmosphere and music incredible
- Comment on Frostpunk 2: Review Thread 1 month ago:
So I’m ~5 hours into the story so far. I was super worried it’d be a bad followup to the first game, which I loved.
It’s pretty different, without getting into any spoilers, but I’m really enjoying it at this point. It’s well done, the atmosphere and decisions are on point, and the micro management seems lesser.
A few UI complaints, I found a tiny bug, but all in all it seems like a good and long single player immersive story city builder. Exactly what I want from the series.
I’d give it a preliminary 8.5/10 because I’m biased and love the first one.

Ah that could be. Either way, $23 isn’t the max
- Comment on Aldi announces wage increases up to $23 an hour; hiring thousands of employees 2 months ago:
It reads like the minimum went from $18 to $23. So the minimum is up from $18, to $23.

That’s a great article. I like the answer to the 90 tick marks:

- Comment on Cords 2 months ago:
The real way is a generator inlet, which is a male plug that’s interlocked with the main. So the cord ends up being a normal male/female cord
- Comment on U.K. might follow Europe in fining employers who message staff after-hours 2 months ago:
My company (24/7 production plant) has a culture of having Do Not Disturb on after hours and email/Teams really being us for “you’ll see this tomorrow”. It’s great! Takes some unlearning on new people coming in, with that and fully unplugging for PTO

I love re-deriving the train when people talk about autonomous cars/trucking and how they can already do the highway part easily

That’s a cool read. I would much rather play a smaller passion-project of a game than a AAA one anyway, but it’s cool to see markets shifting that way on the large

I didn’t even know that “BioShock Infinite good” was a hot take. I loved the story, and it’s somewhat open ended nature. That’s most of my friends’ takes as well

Done! Thanks for making this visible. It wasn’t too hard at all. Hopefully this will help everyone be able to continue spot passing
- Comment on Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability. 7 months ago:
Oh man, I was coming in here to recommend the same. I’d say to look up nearly nothing about it in order to enjoy the mystery the best.
Sometimes you’d beat a boss, get a manual page from it, and it’s like “oh I could’ve done this the whole time, holy crap”
For any of the Outer Wilds or Obra Dinn fans, play tunic for the mystery. For the ALTTP fans, play it for the combat!
