  • You would be surprised how much you can communicate by just pinging stuff. I've had many missions with randos where a single word wasn't spoken, but we were all actively pinging high priority targets and putting markers on the map for our intentions.

  • I think the idea of using coarse grounds for the French press is mostly for filtering out the grounds with the steel mesh on the plunger. If you have a finer mesh, by all means, go for it.

    I've also seen some of my fellow coffee lovers at work use filters wrapped around their press, or using an ultra-fine metal mesh on their air press. They'll go for a finer grind, and it definitely helps the brew steep quicker.

    Personally, if I'm using a glass press, I can usually tell the brew is done by jostling the pot and seeing if the grounds sink. In my metal one, it's usually 5+ mins, and then it'll jostle and test the resistance with the plunger to see if the grounds sank.

  • The issue with those items is that they are not in the list of approved materials for Boeing's manuals. It might be normal to see these sort of practices in a line maintenance environment where it's hard to get the proper tooling; but the manufacturer should be abiding by it's own regulated publications. It's just more symptoms of their cost cutting and schedule rushing measures that are leading to their quality issues.

    My company has been spending a lot of time and money doing warranty repairs on brand new airplanes that we received from Boeing over the past couple of years. It's very concerning when a customer has to fix things that should have never left the factory floor.

  • Payday 2 was good for a while, but then it got buried under a mountain of DLC and people slowly stopped playing because of the aggressive monetization. They came out swinging with the same tactics in Payday 3 with only minor content improvements, so people weren't as motivated to buy the same game again.

    Cities: Skylines 2 appears to be going the same route.

  • It's still a much better experience when pirated, since there's no DRM. Also, it'll make you feel glad you didn't pay for it when you learn they wasted the entire budget for C&C4 on a movie set and an "unbreakable" DRM that someone cracked within a few hours after the launch. They also killed the series with a very cheesy "and everyone lived happily ever after" with that one, and I never forgave them for it.

  • Saw the show. Calliou is a whiney little bitch, and he's a bad influence on children. The parents tolerate his behavior and let him get away with it, which teaches children to do the same.

    There. I said it.

  • Rock music starts blasting as your mech turns to face the bulkhead. The dropship's engines roar louder as it approaches the ground, and the wall in front of you flies upwards. Your mech's feet slam into the ground with a heavy thud.

  • Yes, but I like gaming without having to tweak things for every game. Proton is looking pretty good thanks to the Steam Deck. Hopefully it'll be a very solid option when it comes time for me to make a decision.

    Unfortunately, a lot of my music software and hardware is incompatible with both Linux and W11
