  • Mr. Cook, tear down that wall

    Jump

  • It’s too late for removed to close off removed (and they’ve tried), so I think the goggles are meant to replace it altogether with an inherently closed platform. I hope removed ends up having to open that platform up as well before it’s too late.

  • Star Trek: Resurgence is coming to Steam on May 23rd!

    Jump

  • I’ve never heard of this game, but I’ve enjoyed every telltale game I’ve played. I wishlisted it and will be looking for steam deck performance reviews.

  • u mad, state?

    Jump

  • I can see why your friend would assume you could hack their phone based on how specific these steps are.

  • Adult daughter. Should I disown her!?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I was that way with many things as a teen. I still get that way as an adult. I don’t like cooking because I’m intimidated by the effort, and I often tell people I don’t cook well. It’s a fixed mindset. However, I have a student from Poland. She took a family pieroski recipe from her grandmother, translated it into English, and gave it to me because it’s her favorite dish, and she thought I should try it.

    Obviously, I had to do it while my wife took pictures. And you know what? They turned out pretty good! In fact, I’d like to do it again, and I think next time I can do them even better.

    I think the biggest challenge to fostering a growth mindset is overcoming reluctancy to just try. As a teacher, it’s something I try to listen for from my students.

  • Adult daughter. Should I disown her!?

    Jump

  • As the parent of a 13-year-old, that wouldn’t work either. They’d just pout and tell you that you think they can’t do anything right.

    What you described just now is known in teaching circles as a “fixed mindset”. A person decides they can’t do a thing because that’s just how things are. No two people are the same, but you might be able to foster more of a “growth mindset” by continuing that conversation…

    “No, don’t sell yourself short. This is just something you’re not good at yet. Come on, let’s see how we can do this better together. It’ll only take a minute.”

  • Adult daughter. Should I disown her!?

    Jump

  • You’re absolutely right. In the case of an adult, I’d just take more of a stance of, “look at this crazy thing that happened! lol! Omg I wonder what went wrong” and try to elicit her awareness that way. Then teach through soft suggestion, “maybe we shouldn’t XYZ, huh. Crazy.”

    1. Thank your daughter for helping you with chores.
    2. Bring her to the mess and let her see it for herself.
    3. Kindly ask her why she thinks it turned out that way.
    4. Ask her what she thinks she can do avoid this kind of thing next time. (This is your opportunity to explain to her how to do things.)
    5. Kindly ask her to do it again, correctly. (Consider doing it together)
    6. Tell her she’s awesome for helping out, and that you really appreciate it.

    Never be angry. Be patient and supportive. Don’t let frustration escalate.

  • There was drama?

  • Started looking into ente to replace Google Photos and Gmail marked them as spam

    Jump

  • You’re probably right, but we both know companies would go on for years if nothing intervenes. Then blame it on the dead man when there is no money left.

  • Started looking into ente to replace Google Photos and Gmail marked them as spam

    Jump

  • One of my biggest concerns with subscriptions has to do with death. It feels gross to imagine companies just entitling themselves to my bank account after I’m gone, providing no value to anything, until someone comes along and cancels everything. Feels like one last free cash grab that could go on for years. I imagine board members congratulating each other for legally looting a dead man’s corpse.

  • You have to remove the plastic label if you want to recycle this plastic bottle.

    Jump

  • Okay. So they do this in Japan. The plastic used in the wrapper is different than the plastic in the bottle. They require different processes to recycle. It’s also far more efficient for regular people to just rip it off and throw one in one bin and the other in another bin in their own homes than it is for a sorting facility to go through mountains of this stuff trying to get it right every single time. Frankly I wish more places did it this way.

    I hope this explanation will make things even less infuriating.

  • Nintendo says Super Mario Bros. Wonder soared due to multiplayer magic

    Jump

  • Yeah… multiplayer was actually not that good in this game. Camera was unforgiving, online was weird and felt detached and non-inclusive. I bought the game to play locally and online with family, but all of us lost interest by the time we hit some cloudy area. In contrast, I had a great time with that Mickey game and the Yoshi one from a few years back. Wonder’s multiplayer should really not be getting fluff pieces.

  • What games do you use the pads with?

    Jump

  • There’s a community profile for Monster Hunter rise that maps the quick access wheel to the right touch pad really well. I wish I could do whatever that guy did but for world as well. It’s really useful.

  • Phil Spencer has reportedly reassured employees Microsoft ‘won’t stop making Xbox consoles’

    Jump

  • I’m probably just getting pessimistic with age, but corporations just see dollar signs with subscriptions and reduced expenses with digital distribution. Then they will outlive you and me.

    It may be objectively better for players to have physical copies of their games installed on hardware they have dominion over, but we are unlikely to be around to prove that to our great grandkids. We can’t even guarantee even our own children will care enough to try to tell theirs. I’m almost certain owning physical copies of digital content is going to be for niche hobbyists in the future.

  • Phil Spencer has reportedly reassured employees Microsoft ‘won’t stop making Xbox consoles’

    Jump

  • As inclined I am to agree with you on a personal level, kids these days are trained to think games just come with MTX, and all bonus content in a game that isn’t a loot box is just paid DLC. All Microsoft has to do is just make this the easiest way to get Xbox games, keep it going long enough, and people eventually won’t know any better or even care anymore. Then they ratchet up the price to make it feel like they’re still profiting from console sales as well.

  • The price I have to pay for medical care

    Jump

  • I haven't lived in America for over a decade and I'm still reluctant to go into a hospital for any reason for fear of costs alone.

  • Japanese games are kicking ass on PC so far this year

    Jump

  • Japanese people love their handhelds. I suspect it had a bigger impact than others think.
