I started Trails in the Sky on PSP and haven’t been able to stop playing trails games since. Not the best in the series, but definitely where you want to start.

Damn. I wanted this to escalate a little first.

I stay largely uninvolved with social media apps outside of this fediverse project, but why is it that bytedance must divest TikTok while meta is free to keep Facebook and Instagram? Aren’t the risks to mental health and security the same?

I can’t even entrust my video games to a touch screen.

Sony pretty much nailed it on their first try with PSVR.

It’s too late for Apple to close off macOS (and they’ve tried), so I think the goggles are meant to replace it altogether with an inherently closed platform. I hope Apple ends up having to open that platform up as well before it’s too late.

“My cat stepped on the controller, your honor. I never actually saw or agreed to those terms.”

CNET: this parrot says a lot of things that seem accurate! Let’s have this parrot make articles for us!

Eh, I still think iPhones are pretty great and serve a purpose, but I do think apple has built their ivory tower way too high. I’m all for reining them in a bit.

Cue American conservative mouth-pieces growing hate-boners over VPNs in 3… 2…

I’ve never heard of this game, but I’ve enjoyed every telltale game I’ve played. I wishlisted it and will be looking for steam deck performance reviews.

Even as an avid Apple user, it just comes off as either sheer incompetence or disingenuousness to hear Apple wax such poetic over compromised security from alternative store fronts when macOS is just sitting there, having been doing it fine for generations.

I’m almost expecting Apple to deliberately self-sabotage iOS in the EU somehow just to make a point.

I can see why your friend would assume you could hack their phone based on how specific these steps are.

FFVIII was the first mainline FF game I played after exposing myself to the franchise with Tactics. I was new to turn based systems, so I never picked up on the criticism. I was blown away by the presentation, fantasy and adventure of it all. The gunblade was about the coolest thing a kid of my age could have been exposed to at that time as well. Right now I’m big into VII for obvious reasons, but I really want to replay VIII.

I’ve had this wishlisted on my steam deck for a while now. I didn’t even know it was coming to PlayStation until it was mentioned in the DF video.

Which is…?

Edit: eh nvm. I have no idea what you’re on about, and clearly neither do you. Go ahead and keep stereotyping people if it makes you happy.

What’s an Incel?

Not until you explain yourself. What’s up with the attitude?

Yeah, I was that way with many things as a teen. I still get that way as an adult. I don’t like cooking because I’m intimidated by the effort, and I often tell people I don’t cook well. It’s a fixed mindset. However, I have a student from Poland. She took a family pieroski recipe from her grandmother, translated it into English, and gave it to me because it’s her favorite dish, and she thought I should try it.

Obviously, I had to do it while my wife took pictures. And you know what? They turned out pretty good! In fact, I’d like to do it again, and I think next time I can do them even better.

I think the biggest challenge to fostering a growth mindset is overcoming reluctancy to just try. As a teacher, it’s something I try to listen for from my students.

Oh wow. Jumping straight to the ad hominems, are we? I usually only get that from people who really want to be right and don’t know how.
