I don’t think you understand what rural means. There were people who had to travel 1 hr+ by car to get to the local grocery store where I came from. An ebike isn’t appropriate for places where you may need to travel 60+ miles, and/or in snow or bad conditions that might persist for weeks, and/or in ungodly hot / humid conditions that also persist for weeks. All three of those are true for decent swaths of the year in my area.

They’re literally cockroaches. Even Wikipedia agrees: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_woods_cockroach Fuck that hotel, lol

I stopped using Dr Squach when I found out their toothpaste omits Flouride for REasOnS.

Ugh, gross. Thanks for the heads up. That’s a shame.

I have something called Dr. Squatch’s Wood Barrel Bourbon. It’s a bit strong for my taste but it smells nice and controls the sweating better than Old Spice Mysterious Ocean Bits (which also smelled good).

FWIW I see you. :( Good luck with them.

Yeah, TCL was the front-runner when I was looking for a non-smart TV until I saw that. :( I ended up just going with a samsung and hoping for the best. I’ve not noticed anything annoying, but we’re probably going to switch back to a PC hooked up to the TV with all the subscription problems / price jacking lately.

Probably because it’s Chinese spyware. https://www.tomsguide.com/news/tcl-smart-tv-security-flaws

Also, Light. Who TF names their kid Light and then expects him not to have a god complex?

Looks more like a political hit job - see https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/4064788 and https://ani.social/post/863176.

Depends.

Lazy people who automate their own tasks so they do less work - efficient.

Lazy people who pass off work to other people, causing them to get snowed under no matter how efficient they are - garbage shitsacks.

Rest and financial stability.

Loddlenaut - A cute little trash collecting game. It seems pretty chill and fun. I didn’t get to the point of meeting the titular Loddles because I want to save that for release, but the satisfaction of cleaning up the environment and picking up pieces of trash is already a solid loop even without adding additional mechanics. Potato computer friendly.

One Lonely Outpost - It’s a bad sign when you get frustrated by repetitive, uninteresting tasks in the first 30 minutes of the game. From a design perspective, it needs to answer “Why?” a lot better. Why are we gathering archeology fragments? Why are we doing these irritating and honestly unfun tasks? And not in a “Well we’re making the world habitable”, the answer needs to be more direct: “We’re looking for soil analyzer blueprints to be able to tell where to plant our crops”. It might have some magic fun hidden later in the game, but I was thoroughly unimpressed with the demo.

Wizard with a Gun - Neat concept and fairly fun to play. I find isometric non-tile-based games clunky, and this game doesn’t change that feeling. I might pick it up if my friends show interest in playing co-op.

Grand Emprise: Time Travel Survival - Interesting concept, but extremely jank. Poor UI, mechanics aren’t that tight or interesting, animations are extremely clunky and ‘combat’ is laughable. It almost feels like an asset flip.

Paleo Pines - Cute, but something feels off. I’m not sure if it’s the animations, the shaders, or something else, but something gives the game a visually half-finished feel. I’m interested to see where this one goes and what further polish it receives.

Mr. Run and Jump - The transition between the first level and the second was really neat. The gameplay is fairly fun.
