BTW, I don't wish to yuck on your yums if this is a thing that excites you.
I'm just very, very on the side of "until your computer/phone/whatever is getting in the way of what you do, you almost certainly don't need a new one."
I'm very jaded by events/announcements/the like that drum up hype to convince you otherwise.
So it turns out grouping together equipped technology modules in No Man's Sky actually grants an adjacency bonus depending on how many modules of the same "family" are adjacent to one other!
Good to see my desire to keep things organized pays off!
Today I learned that multi-tools in No Man's Sky have types and bonuses just like starships

Happy Pride to all those who are unable to celebrate openly and safely. You are loved and seen!
My wish is for games to be self-contained, to not require external knowledge or community-maintained wiki sites!

My husband had to wait for 6 years to capture this view of #TheNeedles.
Taken as the #moon set at 4.30 am last summer. This shot is only possible a couple of times each year. He almost had it in 2016 but it was slightly too breezy and the telephoto lens couldn't keep in focus.
It causes controversy as some think it's fake, I promise you that it is not. It involved much research, persistence and luck with the weather! It's the cover shot on our 2024 calendar #IsleofWight #photography

@athousandcateaus haven't heard of windows doing that! Is this windows 11 by any chance?

I'm hearing "but roguelikes do this all the time!"
and
1.) yes, I don't play roguelikes for that reason, so imagine the face I made when I realized the game I was snacking on tasted that way, heh
2.) roguelikes avoid the issue largely by being short runs. Any frustration you have over a missed set resolves quickly, and you never really needed that set to begin with. "But I really need the climbing gear" over a 100+ hour game is a very, very different deployment of that pattern.

@athousandcateaus got any config that might be turning on your computer at preset times? Maybe some scheduled tasks?

I'm seeing a lot of self proclaimed allies who had no problem playing Hogwarts Legacy because "it's just a game" turn around and wish queer people a happy pride month. You can take your "love is love" and put it together with your "thoughts and prayers" in a box labelled "empty performative gestures I can pat myself on the back for". π€¬ #pride #wrath

Me: I won't discuss business in a room with an Alexa, because Amazon is my business competitor and they eavesdrop.
Various other folks: 
Today: Amazon to pay fine for eavesdropping. https://www.npr.org/2023/06/01/1179381126/amazon-alexa-ring-settlement
