I’m curious, what was that about? Lol

Yeah. I stopped commenting, when my main account had ridiculous amounts of karma. I still browse, but only logged out and only on old.reddit.com in a web browser.

A limp is a thing, but it’s not an object

More education than game: Mighty Math Number Heroes

More game than education: Putt Putt series

It takes a lot for me to accept something as fact, but I’m okay with living my life on a combination of likelihoods, reasonable plausibilities, and vibes

Real men are woke

Basically…

Pokemon from Gens 3~7 (2000s to early 2019) can only be brought forward using a system that will no longer be officially supported at some point.

Pokemon in Gens 8 and 9 (the Switch games) are mostly considered “current”, and can be swapped around between any current game and Pokemon Home.

Pokemon Home costs money to store Pokemon.

Generally, moving Pokemon between generations involves transferring them using some special tool. The final destination (unless you want to pay money) is usually a game, because that’s where you can actually use them. The games also have plenty of storage that’s “free” (at least, not subscription-based).

Pokemon in the games had been stored inside cartridges from Gen 1 to Gen 7 (90s to early 2019). It was only with the Switch that game saves (and thus Pokemon) stopped being saved to the cartridges, and instead were saved to the console’s internal storage (not even an SD card).

Until 2019, getting a new console for your Pokemon games meant nothing – you’d be able to use your old Pokemon and saves on the new console by plugging in your old game.

This is the first time you had to do anything special to get your saves onto your new console.

For added context, Nintendo offers a cloud saves for players to back up their Switch game saves.

Pokemon is the one of the only Nintendo franchises to not support cloud saves.

I’ve decided that gaming is my top solo hobby, so I dedicate the appropriate time to it. On most days, I can get a solid hour in, sometimes 2 if I’m caught up or ahead on errands and making food.

Last I heard, “learning styles” are a myth

There’s a difference between a small penis and a micropenis.

I’m an IV

I like how simply using “an” instead of “a” causes me to read it as I.V. and not 4. So it sounds to me like you started off by introducing yourself as an intravenous system or something.

If you want to be the best person, offer to cover a babysitter (if you’re able).

Negative: Worse driving interactions (as a pedestrian/cyclist), especially post-covid.

Positive: People are generally more accepting of things, and people seem to be more comfortable sharing parts of them that make themselves different from the “norm”.

Of course, you’d then be paying monthly enough to cover a water heater’s entire replacement in one year! Haha

They’re in the business of providing (expensive) peace of mind. Not the business of providing good value for money.

Ontario, Canada. They’re elsewhere in Canada, but seem most prevalent here

Thank you for sharing. I don’t have direct personal experience with a rental water heater – I was thrilled to find out the place I bought was built before it became the norm, and none of the prior owners got duped into getting a subscription.

Subscriptions suck. The only exceptions are if you literally have too much money to care. But most people don’t have the money to throw around like that.

Where I live, there are water heater rentals. It’s essentially a hardware subscription.

They’re garbage.

For something that needs minimal maintenance and will last at least 10 years, you can rent for the price that you’d break even if you had a new one installed every 5 years.

People will pay thousands of dollars to have the privilege of throwing out the water heater and getting out of the contract. And then pay to buy a new one they actually own.

But some people like it because, yes, if there’s a problem, they come and fix it for you. Or give you a brand new water heater. That you’ve already paid for two or three times over!

I’ve given up on Purolator.

I just contact customer support/the seller and tell them all the steps I took (filling out my complete address, and on the day of, contacting them with my buzzer number), and tell them that I didn’t receive my package despite being home all day. I also didn’t receive their “sorry we missed you” sticky note anywhere. And no missed calls for the buzzer.

They often try to tell me the package is at a pickup point…I tell them that that’s not the address I entered into their system, it’s not the one that you put on the package, and you need to tell Purolator to send it to my address, or they’re going to return it to you/the sender.

This worked for my $1,000 package, thankfully. It didn’t work for my ~$50 packages. So that got sent back to the sender and I got a full refund. And I won’t be buying from them again unless they stop using Purolator.

Meanwhile, Amazon will drop off $200 packages at my doorstep without a signature – the way I want it! Lol

Purolator said they needex me to print out a form saying I authorize a drop off without a signature. I told them the driver is never going to see it because they don’t enter my building’s lobby let alone come up to my apartment. They said to do it anyway and it’d be fine. When I told them it said missed delivery again despite me following their instructions, they stopped replying to my support ticket…lol

Metal takes inspiration from lots of different types of music. A lot of guitar solos have clear inspiration from Classical music

I never heard a gamer use “bio break” lol
