Rift crystals are earned by playing just like the first game. Their only purpose is to hire higher level pawns, but you earn them when people pay for your pawn or you complete their quests. It’s part of the interplay of players exchange pawns.

Recent Capcom games have all done this where it’s a great game and right on release they stuff a bunch of micro transactions in for in-game currency but you would have to be an absolute chud to buy any of it because it’s so trivial to earn.

DMCV did the same thing with trying to sell red orbs, the primary upgrade currency, but if you didn’t see people complain about it online, you wouldn’t even notice it in game.

They are ticking a checkbox for the suits.

Oolimo, the website and phone app is a great resource for me. It lets you enter notes on a fretboard to identify chords.

That’s about how well it fits in. You produce and find guns and can equip yourself and the pals with certain weapons. Modern firearms in a generic fantasy setting. It’s like a meme game that has too much production budget.

Your phone does the same thing just without communicating it. Samsung phones let you change the percentage of the battery is “100%” charged.

When Firefox announced that a ton of their add-ons/extensions were coming to the mobile app, it got me to switch from chrome after almost 15 years.

Any RPG with dialogue and choices. Bonus points for custom characters or male/female options.

Before my girlfriend got into games, I would often play a new game with her and ask her to design the create-a-character and ask for her input on dialogue choices. Sometimes we would take turns reading aloud in game text and documents. It got her invested without the stress of having to handle the game.

She eventually bought herself a switch and blasted out 500 hours of animal crossing during the pandemic lockdown and now she is all in on games.

As a Tesla owner of 5 years with a cross country road trip in the car, Teslas charging has never failed me. It’s rare to encounter a charging stall not working, but every location has multiple chargers and they repair stalls quickly.

Almost every location I’ve been to has at least 8 stalls if not more. The navigation in the car also keeps track of stalls in use, electricity prices, expected wait time and if any stalls are not working.

It sold 18 million copies within a few months of launch. It worked out immediately.

I am working on my bachelor’s degree in computer networking and I still find Lemmy a pain in the ass to search sometimes.

Communities are too small, fractured and not enough people post. 1% rule and all that

I’m probably wrong but I think because it takes a lot more user effort to navigate Lemmy and find your communities, and those communities can be spread across many instances.

It’s just easier for those that are interested in the community around those interests to use something like reddit or a specific forum site.

Lemmy is mostly tech dorks, which isn’t a bad thing but that leads to the tech and programming communities dominating the feeds. Also I think people who have been using Lemmy for a while vastly overestimate the appeal of the platform and also tech literacy of the general population. It can feel intimidating and uninviting.

They are Balinese cats. Long haired cousin to the Siamese and they are hypoallergenic.

It took me a while but now that their face patterns have developed I can tell them apart when they look at me.

Ghost (close) and Griffin (far)

I was living in Los Angeles at the start of the pandemic. I was really enjoying my $0.11/Kw charging when gas was approaching $6-7/Gallon.

For most drivers, the math can make a lot of sense.

Tesla pulled a hattrick by making people who couldnt give a shit about the environment want to buy an EV, and they did that by making the car pure fun.

With all the major brands announcing support for the NACS connector I will be keeping Rivian in my sites in a few years. If they can get the price right for their next generation, lower cost models they could be a compelling package.

They where pretty toast at that point. they wore down pretty evenly, only rotated once.

4 new OEM tires at a tesla service center hit me for about $1250.

Good point. My car has 55K miles. Recommended lifespan for the factory tires being 30K, I was dumb and ran the original tires till 34K miles.

There are a lot of ways they could handle it. Imagine the New York Times or similar organizations with their own customized Mastodon for live updates and Lemmy for linking to articles and for searching. Mastodon being the free to follow and the Lemmy/main site being subscription to make an account and comment.

This is really fascinating to me. It would be interesting to see each country set up their own Mastodon/Lemmy/Kbin/other federated systems and have those instances constantly talk to each other. Like others have commented, It seems like a great way to keep the communication style and interaction of twitter/facebook, while also protecting the validity of the information through private instances. Really smart decision.

I’ve had mine for 5 years. I wanted an EV and at that time (in the US) there really was no option even remotely close with the combination of range, charging convenience and technology.

Elons downfall sometimes makes me slightly embarrassed to be associated to it in any way, but its still a great car, not perfect but great. 5 years and I’ve had to replace a set of tires, wiper blades and fluid, and 2 sets of cabin air filters. That’s it.

Its popular to hate on Elon and its rightly deserved but come the fuck on.

Yeah basically the rules where “if from domain A go to folder A.”

The organized folders basically served as a way to filter through stuff that I didn’t need to respond to, break things down into tasks I actually needed to respond to, and to make it easier to search through later.

So if I got an email from user@xdomain, it would go to my xdomain folder and be listed as unread and I would respond from there. Then that email chain stayed in its appropriate folder.
