used to alert the rider that the software has overridden user input

I think this is the whole point. Riders were asking more of the boards than the boards could do, and when the board was unable to comply the rider would lose their balance. Haptic feedback tells the rider “nah, not doing that” so they’re aware the board isn’t going to do the thing and can adjust their balance accordingly.

Playing music. Started on a shitty hand-me-down acoustic guitar. Got a better guitar. Got an electric. Got a better amp. Got a couple of pedals. Got a better amp. Got like 6 more amps, some cabs, 5 more guitars, a huge pedalboard, a cello, a keyboard, an audio interface, attenuators, mics, etc etc.

You gotta understand… I need all this stuff. There are subtle differences that you’ve never noticed before but will probably hear once I do an a/b comparison for you, and I absolutely must get an AC15 next to round out the collection instead of buckling down and recording something.

I like the existence of downvotes. They help separate content the community has no feeling about from content the community actively dislikes.

I love that they’re shown separately. This helps separate controversial opinions from ones the community doesn’t care one way or the other about.

I like that you can see who downvoted. Looking at their profile can give some insight as to why they didn’t like the content.

Looks good for at least another couple of hundred yards.

I want the actual reviews so I have at least some chance of figuring out if the reviewer is a bot, a shill, a customer, or is reviewing the UPS guy instead of the product.

Eggs are gross.

They’re both violations of the conditions of release. Two separate violations, unrelated except for being prohibited behavior.

It’s totally different from wow. Wow is a real-time mmo. BG3 is a turn-based fantasy RPG (think Divinity:Original Sin or Wasteland 3).

It can force those who disagree with defederating to find a new instance that has access to all the communities they want. It also makes onboarding new people significantly more complicated, as their choice of instance will drastically influence their feed.

To be clear, I’m not arguing against defederation, just pointing out that it causes issues that need dealt with.

Nice. I really enjoyed the first one.

Look into cluster b personality disorders and cptsd. This behavior sounds like “splitting.”

I’m not a mental health professional, but lived with someone who was later diagnosed CPTSD, so I ended up doing a bunch of homework on wtf was going on.

I remember hearing an interview with him many years ago, and he shared a story about the shenanigans he got up to as a kid… he was into phone phreaking (used to be you could control the entire phone system by playing specific tones into any phone) and reprogrammed the phone system to think his friend’s home phone was a pay phone. His friend’s mom would try to call someone and the phone would ask her to deposit 20c. She was furious, and sent her son over to demand he fix it immediately.

I always thought that was one of the best pranks ever. RIP to a legend.

Threads is looking into adding an alternative home feed, of only posts, in chronological order, from the people each individual user follows

I’m so confused as to why this (or something resembling this) isn’t default behavior.

“We’ve decided to expand our policy of not paying bills. We’re now retroactively un-paying bills we’ve already paid.”

I have zero interest in the micro-transaction VTT that WoTC seems to be moving towards. If they quit supporting pencil & paper tables, we’ll stick with 5e/pf2e

I imagine they’ll make giant fistfuls of money though. Lowing the bar to play by having the server deal with the crunch, gee-whiz graphics, customizable avatars … I suspect they’ll onboard a bunch of Fortnite kids who are used to paying for skins.

Get off my lawn. We used to play D&D uphill.
