I just can’t put Hades II down! It’s not finished, and I’m running up against that more and more. But the polish is incredible!

Brewery process engineer here. The reasons beer doesn’t need as strict of regulation in terms of food safety and in terms of labeling is twofold.

Part of that is because it’s lobbied to keep it that way, because if you put numbers down they’re not great (no surprise)

Part of it is because beer’s pH and alcohol content makes it nearly impossible for human-harming-pathogens to grow. On the scale of danger for you from a food safety perspective, beer is low.

NA beer is full strength beer with the alcohol removed. It goes through the same kill steps and processes as normal beer. Alcohol removal can be done a few ways (RO, filtration, boiling) but is I think always or effectively always followed by pasteurization.

Not saying it should be beyond labelling, but that’s the reasoning why it’s not a high priority for labeling like food.

The (absolutely gutted) organization for requiring things like nutritional information is primarily responsible for keeping people safe in the foods they consume. Should it be on there? Probably. But on the scale of things to do it’s so absurdly insanely low with so many horrific things ahead of it that it probably isn’t gonna happen. Nevermind the fact that it’s lobbied against pretty hard at the same time.

I think it probably should have nutritional and allergenic info required on it, but hearing the horror stories of my friends in food safety who go to plants that produce dangerous products with so little rules and oversight, I can’t imagine thinking it’s a good idea to take any amount of FDA time and attention away from that for things like beer.

Most big breweries have nutritional info on their site for their beers, fwiw.

Holy hype batman. I’m so stoked!

frank ,

Same, and no clue what I’m doing after it. I love my headphone jack … Maybe an ASUS ROG?

frank ,

I always have used 2. I use multiple desktops really hard (for a long time in Linux and MacOS, and with third party Windows stuff till they finally caught up) and find it more convenient for compartmentalizing than multiple monitors.

The only times I want to (and occasionally do) go more than 2 is watching F1 with data viewing and so many camera angles up

frank ,

Done! Thanks for making this visible. It wasn’t too hard at all. Hopefully this will help everyone be able to continue spot passing

frank ,

+1 on jukebox the ghost

frank ,

Hell yes on Thank You Scientist

frank ,

I loved the game, and actually loved the DLC even more

frank ,

Hey that’s our train of thought! Shopping now and it seems like a great contender.

Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability. (lemmy.world)

Ignoring the lack of updates if the game is buggy, games back then were also more focused on quality and make gamers replay the game with unlockable features based on skills, not money. I can’t count the number of times I played Metal Gear Solid games over and over to unlock new features playing the hardest difficulty and with...

frank ,

Oh man, I was coming in here to recommend the same. I’d say to look up nearly nothing about it in order to enjoy the mystery the best.

Sometimes you’d beat a boss, get a manual page from it, and it’s like “oh I could’ve done this the whole time, holy crap”

For any of the Outer Wilds or Obra Dinn fans, play tunic for the mystery. For the ALTTP fans, play it for the combat!

Im looking for a book about a girl with a magic eye on an air ship to catch magic only she can see

The book starts out with a girl with magic eye on a flying ship to catch magic sand only she can see. She has no memory of how she grew up. At the start of the journey a man destroys the ship, but safes her. During the book(s) it is reveled that the man and she herself are basically here to destroy humanity because humanity...

frank ,

Mortal Engines? Not quite but similar vein kinda?

frank ,

These all sound like emulator-ideal criteria to me!

There’s a lot of non-free versions of that which are super reasonable and meet all of your other criteria nicely. Stardew Valley, Slay the Spire. Games that are full games for a one time low cost.

frank ,

I stopped using reddit, I’m on my phone a lot less. It makes me less angry and more present, and I really like that. I also comment more, as many of you have said here.

I really miss Ask Historians. It’d send me down some lovely rabbit holes, get me reading books about niche topics I never knew I wanted to learn more about.

frank ,

That’d be pretty interesting if they could pull it off

frank ,

I have about a hundred hours in it. Here’s some scattered thoughts:

–The devs clearly care a lot and it’s a labor of love. They communicate well, provide updates, listen to feedback, engage with the community. They’re lovely.

–the game has a fun series of mechanics, good visuals, good music, fun vibes. It’s a bit… Sandboxy, towards later in most runs. I don’t know what to do with my settlement come cycle 12-15 (cycle is 12-20 days or so). I wish there was a little more of a goal for it, like scenarios

–good mod support and map making. People have made some dope maps for it

I’m gonna continue to revisit it as campaign/scenarios evolve, as mechanics are added, and as I want to get my beaver vibe on

frank ,

Yeah, a few “natural disasters” or random whatever’s would add to the mid/late game. Once water is stable, it’s easy to thrive anytime. Bad water is a nice mix up for that for sure.

And yeah, big time machine energy.

frank ,

I enjoyed Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldtree. It’s about a retired adventuring orc who decides to open a coffee shop instead of murdering people

frank ,

I use VoidTools Everything for searching. It’s absolutely lightning fast and super powerful.

The built in Windows search is such garbage

frank ,

You can disable (today, anyway) the internet search, and it gets wildly more useful after that. I wonder if it’s trying to be two things: searching your computer like it should, and for the less computer literate it’s “help me”

frank ,

It started off a little slow, but imo it was better than the main game. It’s both a little more streamlined and better story-wise. You probably should play the main game first

frank ,

There’s a setting to make it less scary in the menus now!

frank ,

Similar energy, this is a craigslist classic: https://sopuli.xyz/pictrs/image/e9a27bf7-9630-4e95-ba5b-7fa1cd3193c4.webp

frank ,

I’ve heard the Silo books go a similar direction. I’ve not yet read them; they’re on my short list though

frank ,

Ah, TIL indeed. Do you recommend starting with the short story? Or just diving into the main novels?

frank ,

I’m so stoked that TUNIC is starting it off

frank ,

Okay tunic was better than I expected. The beta area and Dev commentary is so cool. What a wild game with so much speed running inclusion

frank ,

Obra Dinn is an absolute banger of a game and soundtrack and I’d love to be able to forget and re play it.

frank ,

On mobile: long press on the comic itself

frank ,

Does it just ellipsis off (…)?

One tap on the alt text fixes that

frank ,

I’m glad you can see the alt text! It’s the best part sometimes

frank ,

I totally agree. It’s not like the ~7-1700 time for my sunlight hours is super intuitive. If it was 23-11, I’d be fine after a few months, and a lot of problems would be solved.

frank ,

Yeah, if you’ve played DnD 5E I’d say you’re already well on the way to knowing how BG3 works technically. If not, it’s prolly a bit of a learning curve but the game does start soooorta slow at level 1, though 4 characters is a lot. Look up some common archetypes!

frank ,

Dan Olson has a good video on this topic. It’s tough to get into some larger player base competitive games

Computing power and storage! By the day. It’s but a silver lining with regards to the price hikes of everything all around, but it’s something

frank ,

Also subscribing for roller blade ball bearing facts

Massive F1 fan here.

It’s more of an engineering sport than a driving sport. Don’t get me wrong– the drivers are absolutely top notch and do an incredible job and it’s entertaining to watch. But since it’s sooooo engineering and development based, you cars that perform different on different tracks (cuz of elevation, temperature, track design, surface).

It’s pretty neat; worth a watch sometime!

frank ,

So much cool matsci!

The exhaust is no longer titanium (it’s inconel) because they 3D print the complicated bits of it now instead of traditional forming techniques

frank ,

I’m not sure what you’re referring to but not at all! It’s the inverse of a “spec series” (which still benefit greatly from engineering) where you get handed parts to use. Teams can design the vast majority of parts themselves and do

frank ,

Like I said, some exciting racing. There was a photo finish (0.053) for the podium last race!

www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexternal-p…

But for someone who is a nerd about it, some of the most exciting parts are Thursday and Friday when the teams show up with upgrades. Seeing it come together on a Sunday is awesome, but sometimes less dynamic.

If you want insane racing, just watch motorcycles

frank ,

That was hilarious.

Also no way only Sacha baron Cohen is acting in this, right? Like a few others are in on this, surely

frank ,

Holy shit that is absolutely bonkers.

frank ,

Okay now’s my time to shine. The words “emoji” and “emoticon” are false cognates, as in they aren’t actually related. Emoticon is a few-decade old word to describe emotion+icon, like :)

Emoji is Japanese (kanji - 絵文字) for picture-word, basically. It super outdates computers.

They just happen to sound similar; isn’t that fun?

frank ,

Okay, I’ll bite

First off, I totally agree! People are my much nicer here and the little notification is often a nice thing.

So I read a bit of your post history. I’m not the -most- socially aware but I’m assuming sans-proof you’re not actually Margot Robbie. So like … Why? Is it a promo thing? Weird quirk? Actually an actor doing “normal people stuff”? Do you actually use Arch(why?)?

frank ,

I really hope you can actually shitpost your way into an Oscar and thanks for the reply potential-future-Oscar-winner-Margo-Robbie. I liked Barbie!

That’s amazing, and the best reason I’ve heard to start using Arch. I kinda like that no one even gets it, and I’m always a tiny bit sad that package manager doesn’t make their loading bars pacman eating dots

frank ,

This 1000x. The “I could do this the whole time??” Moments are so incredibly cool, and I’ve never felt smarter than when we pieced together the final puzzle

frank ,

As the other commenter said, there is a lot less dependence in Stockholm on cars than most places. Sweden has extremely low poverty rates anyway, and has pretty.good systems in place for the poor
