That looks like a…

You know…

The thing…

A vulva.

I would bet all the pieces to make a better communication suite than discord are there. They just need to be put together into a package and marketed well.

An alternative for me is pretty much useless if it’s not an alternative for my groups. Those I use discord with. It is more likely we migrate to a corporate solution than a foss one.

Convenient, easy to use, large user base, one point registration for multiple communities, tends to simply just work.

But is it the best? Nah. And their increased monetisation drives are annoying.

Water levels were lower during the glacial periods because of all the water in those frozen glaciers. The brittish islands were connected to mainland Europe for example. So there really isn’t that much of a suggestion that sea levels were lower, established science that.

The original commentator probably got dates (or zeroes) mixed up. More than ten thousand years ago definitely doesn’t put anything on the other side of the last glacial period (one hundred and twenty thousand tears ago).

An interesting side note is that due to the sea level rise many of the first human settlements of the Americas are now well under water and possibly lost forever. This makes dating the human arrival very difficult as we only have later very much inland settlements to go by.

The last Glacial Period (aka Ice Age) lasted between 115000 years ago to about 11700 years ago. Roughly. So constructed more than 10000 years ago still putsit after the glacial period but could very well have been built by the first groups in the thawed area. Who knows, perhaps they could see glaciers to their north?

And I bet really frikkin’ awesome vistas and waterfalls.

We essentially have three levels of recycling stations in Sweden.

There is the at home one. Some areas have their “private” trash bins being multicompartment so you can easily divide up glass, metals etc. If you don’t have one of these you just divide it up and take it to your local station. Apartment buildings tend to have a recycling area with various bins.

The local one tend to be able to handle larger items and bigger quantities. Here is often also for textiles. This is the classic recycling station.

And then we have the big ones where you can fill up a vehicle and trailers and get rid of it. It is not a dump as you still have to have things separated. Used furniture, electronics, garden waste etc are taken to these places.

May I recommend Guild Wars 2 or Elder Scrolls Online. Neither have really increased the numbers so gear from years ago are still up to date. May not be meta but still up to date. GW2 for example has the Berserker stat combination and it has been the go-to for direct damage builds since launch. 10+ year old gear still does its job!

We brought out Anton Nilsson once, then the strikebreaker ship Amalthea got bombed.

I’ve always called him Pirogi, but now I understand what an insult to that awesome food it is. Pringles it will be from here on.

That sentence directed towards the article and it choosing to focus on one part of the study. Sure I have not read the study so the link between “struggling” parents and development can be much weaker than screen time and development. It can be that the article presents the study without favoring any results. Or it could be highlighting those results that drives more clicks. I feel the second option is the more likely one.

There are other factors they have observed as well. Let me quote the article.

There are other factors that can affect a child’s development, such as genetics, adverse experiences such as neglect or abuse, and socioeconomic factors, Nagata said.

In the latest research, mothers of children with high levels of screen time were more likely to be younger, have never given birth before, have a lower household income, have a lower education level and have postpartum depression.

But bad screens are a much sexier cause.

The only issue I have with GD and a controller is difficulty targeting specific foes and precuse use of movement abilities. Nothing gamebreaking, just annoying.

Generally things that are easy to pick up and get going again. If I have to try and find a notebook to get back on track I’ll leave it for when I have proper time off. Often I put it down to pick it back up months down the line. Games such as the below are usually on my rotation.

Guild Wars 2

Some ARPG: Grim Dawn, Last Epoch, Diablo

PvE multplayer loot shooter: Deep Rock Galactic, Warframe

Basically the only JRPGs that I remember anything of, story or mechanics wise, is FFVI and Golden Sun I&II. So really a blank slate and looking at at pretty much all recommendations.

Oh, kind of missed that. Recommendations for a great modern JRPG in the classic style?

Hope it’s a good a place as any to ask this. I’ve got an itch for a jrpg in the classic style, but one with modern conveniences.

Never finished FFVI because I put it down and later didn’t know where I was nor was doing. Completed Golden Sun I and II, but only with the aid of walkthroughs. Tried a buch of others but don’t really remember them.

Edit: Recommendations for a great modern JRPG in the classic style?

I wish I would love it. It is a really great game but I cannot make it click for me. Looks great, sounds great, feels great.

But somehow it doesn’t work for me. Half the time I feel I have no control and have no idea of how to get it, other half I’m steamrolling things. Worst part is winning fights and it feeling undeserved, like a sloppy brawl.

Still a great game.
