Wait…whaaat?

THEY WHAT?!?

As if they weren’t already scary enough!

I got up one night around 1am to pee. I see maybe 3 or 4 of these little guys in my house each summer, so not very often, but enough that I am always on guard for them, so I turn on the bathroom light and put my feet on the bathmat, thinking it will offer some sort of centipede protection. I am halfway through peeing when one of those little devils apparates out of nowhere and runs full speed right at me. The bathmat does not slow it down at all.

I don’t care what they eat. In my house, they are the worst pest.

To anyone who hasn’t played this yet, if you buy it on console or mobile, the huge 1.6 patch is set to release November 4th.

From what I have seen, if you can play it on PC, do it, as you can get all kinds of mods and stuff that aren’t available on console. I played it on Switch years ago and then would see youtube videos of people playing the PC version and it looked like a different game altogether.

+1 for Crosscode! I will admit the terrain puzzles can feel tedious after a while, but goodness, this game has great mechanics, story, and charm. One of my favorite games of all time.

I am so excited for the next game coming out by Radical Fish Games.

Nice try! I looked at the Steam reviews with people who had 600+ hours playing this game and said something like “it’s hard and cruel and punishing on a level we as a people have not experienced before” and I knew I would never have the time or patience to play this! 😄

If I scritch my cat just right on a certain spot on her back, she’ll immediately fall over onto her side to accept my offering of more back scritches. It works nearly every time.

My partner gets jealous because the cat refuses to fall over whenever he tries it.

That’s adorable. Mine will get really excited for food sometimes and get all poofy because of it. If she’s extra happy about it, she’ll even hiss.

The 4th Circuit court is out of their minds on this ruling.

Well, fuck Capcom I guess.

It deeply saddens me when people pay money for locked down hardware that’s not only designed to spy on them, but their family, friends, and neighbors as well. Ring, Amazon Echo, Google Home, that creepy Facebook robot screen…all insecure spyware.

OP, Louis Rossmann would love to hear your story. He makes videos about anti-consumer shenanigans like this.

Wow that is awful. I hope that never happens to you!

Just curious: why do you use a vpn for gaming?

Sony’s Xperia phones are fantastic and the bootloader can be unlocked on most models (check the sony bootloader unlock webpage to check). Xperia phones have a micro sd slot, headphone jack, and physical camera shutter button. I have an Xperia 1 iii running LineageOS w/microG and it’s fantastic and stable. Bit of a learning curve to set it up though.

Depending on where you live, I would recommend the new Xperia 1 VI; Sony is promising support for three OS versions and four years of security updates. It’s not great but it is far better than what they previously promised with their phones.

I have an Amazfit Bip 5 with Gadgetbridge and for the most part it works just fine. It even accurately recognizes my bicycle workouts, something my Apple Watch Series 5 could never manage to do. For $80, I am very satisfied.

On the flip side, the Sleep and Do Not Disturb modes let through calendar notifications and sounds no matter what, which is mildly infuriating.

I also deleted the Zepp app after the initial pairing, so maybe that’s part of why my experience is different?

I am in the US and went to Sony’s bootloader unlock page and they say that the US variants of the 1 iv and the 5 iv cannot be unlocked. It doesn’t mention other models until you enter your model from the dropdown list.

INTERESTING NOTE! For anyone interested in the new xperia 1 vi, selecting it from the dropdown list brings up a note that the US and JP variants cannot be bootloader unlocked. Does this mean the 1 vi is coming to the US after all?

Wow, I did not realize this! Thank you for the heads up. That should absolutely be illegal imo.

OMG thank you I didn’t know that!

I kept pressing and holding and got annoyed that the change keyboard dialog would pop up. Pressing and moving is the secret!

Ooh in that case I may try using it for typing again. My typing accuracy on Heliboard is abysmal.

What don’t you like about HeliBoard? I have it and FUTO both installed, but I prefer HeliBoard due to its ‘hold space bar to move cursor’ option. Then I use FUTO for the occasional SpeechToText.
