Think the biggest innovation they did for csgo was molotovs, and for cs2 was smokes being affected by bullets and explosions. Other than that, I think it’s been largely the same.

Though do keep in mind, I have about 30h across source, csgo, and 2 combined; odds are I missed stuff.

Really? Fuck. Well, guess that leaves Jeff Nippard and LeanBeefPatty as still solid, hopefully. Been away from the lifting world but that sucks about Mike.

A burger worth half a damn (in both taste and portion) in Burger King will cost me nearly as much as a smash burger with jalapeño aioli and loaded fries from a local burger joint. Pizza Hut/Domino’s is the same, there’s a proper italian dining place less than 50m from my place, prices are comparable but the taste just isn’t there for Pizza Hut or Domino’s.

I’m a very stingy person but that price difference is not worth the difference in quality.

I’ll push back on the nonstick pans. Steel pans get you much better sears, are easier to take care of, and last way longer than non-sticks. Even expensive non-sticks will require you to use spatulas made of a soft material and will only last a couple months to a handful of years before the teflon flakes off.

Personally I would save up a bit and get a 9inch, a 12-14inch (depending on hob sizes), and a bigger sauce pan. Would definitely run more expensive than 100 quid but will last much longer.

Plus, you can go as hard as you want in terms of musical proficiency. You can look up chord charts, learn how to read tabs, or learn how to read sheets.

Though it should be said, guitar is tough starting out. It will make your fingertips sore and your hand cramp. It will take hours of practice to get stuff halfway decent, even things that seem simple. There’s always something to improve at or learn. And no matter how much you practice you’ll always hear imperfections.

It’s a hell of a time commitment (and it can be a money sink) but it is very fun.

Alone: Rimworld, WH40k Rogue Trader

Multiplayer: ArmA Reforger (just found a group who’s pretty chill, haven’t vetted them for politics yet though), SCP 5k, Peak

Yeah, that one

That Tom Hanks movie where he’s stranded on an island after a plane crash when I was 6.

I saw it a day before taking my first plane ride and going over sea.

Oh yeah, probably my favourite squad mod. A little hard to believe that people will do that kind of quality work for free and consistently update it when any patch can and will invariably fuck mods up.

Same. ArmA, Squad, and eventually 83 will be more than enough until bf6 is dirt cheap.

Another crab’s treasure. It plays like a soulslike but it’s designed like a Rare n64 game in all the good ways.

Fr. This year seemed like it was going to be pretty shit in regards to new releases, with the only things to catch my interest being the DLCs for rimworld, bannerlord, and Rogue Trader, and Arma Reforger.

But games like Beta Decay seem to be holding the torch for innovation. Can’t wait for that to be released.

Or Rimworld. Tried it once while working at a mind numbingly boring internship after a month of putting it off.

I have 6k hours now.

Haven’t ever been under 0, so while I am partial to cold weather, I cannot offer an answer beyond a guess, that I might be more comfortable still at -13 than at 40, considering I’d just need to put a couple more layers on.

I can layer up if its cold, windy, and rainy. Walking helps move blood around and warm up. You can’t escape heat unless you got AC on, or continuously splash water around your body and sit in front of a fan. Even then, if its hot and moist, that won’t help (wet bulb).

I live in a spot where temps range between 19-39 degrees in the daytime, swinging from dry to humid every now and again.

I’ll take 1-9 C all day, every day. Despite living here my entire life, temps above 25 are uncomfortable for me. I’ve discovered that temps between 5 and 14 degrees for me are ideal.

Illustration. It isn’t a thing where I’m at, and settled for graphic design (which is still barely a thing here). After graduation I applied for scholarships abroad, and got accepted on a full ride in a private university in Hamburg for illustration.

Weeks before I was supposed to leave I got cold feet and looked up all the info I could about the university. Turns out it’s a scam, the degree’s worth fuck all, and the university seemed to have this MO of recruiting aspiring legal migrants from third world countries (like myself) into its curriculum, voiding their scholarship, offering shit education, and charging exorbitant rates until they leave or graduate.

I was despondent for months since this seemed to be my big break after a pretty tough few months. Then AI image generation took off.

I’m okay at illustrating characters, but it’s immediately obvious I’ve learnt by myself and have done very little diligent study on the topic. My inexperience, how prevalent AI images are, and the uphill battle that gaining clients is, are keeping me away from trying again.

ADHD, GAD, SzPD, and depression. ADHD kicks my ass the most, since the medication most people take is illegal here. Depression and ADHD combined make it really hard to start projects, and GAD makes it really hard to keep one going.

The only war is class war

The nothing buds are pretty good and if I’m not wrong I got them under 50.

Yeah, I’m multilingual from a hispanic country, and due to job experience and the media I consume I’ve ended up with a real mess of both accent and lexicon. Nowadays, most of my english and italian interactions are limited to online gaming, and half the time people catch on to my accent, and guess I’m either quebecois, german, or french, despite not being fluent in any of those or ever spending more than a week in any of those countries.

In day to day life, I mix all three (spanish, english, and italian), using the first word that comes to mind. It feels really jarring trying to convey a complete idea in just spanish, and end up translating foreign words in my head. It’s faster for me now to communicate in english than it is in spanish.
