I’ve lived next to these things several times over my life; they’re stunning engineering achievements of humanity.

I like to envisage the power above me arriving at a hospital, and that beep beep beep of the electrocardiograph, puffing of the ventilators, pumping of the dialysis machines; all from metal we took from he earth and shaped into a church like structure, pointing to the heavens, but enabling us to play God and save lives.

Fantastic. Glad you’ve got it all sorted :)

I bet you’ve just got HDMI-CEC turned off in the Fire TV’s settings or something (i.e. you probably don’t even need an app).

What make and model TV do you have?

Jump in there and raise it yourself. Share your thoughts and what attempts to potential decipher it you’re aware of. Independent Raxxla Hunters, are by the name, independent. So if you want traction and discussion, you need to be the one to bring it.

Great find by the way.

You should try over at the Independent Raxxla Hunters discord. Far more understanding and ready to engage in any amount of tinfoil than Canonn.

Research indicates male and female immune systems respond differently to viral attacks.

“Man Flu” might actually be physiological and not psychological.

This is the review I was looking for. Huge H1 and HoH fan but H2 was a big swing and a miss. So glad to hear HoH2 is a return to form. Thanks for sharing.

Oh that’s understandable. Most MMO games, at least in the past before the rise of F2P, had monthly subscriptions (often in addition to needing to buy the base game).

Not sure if this is a joke or not… WoW was always a subscription game-as-a-service.

I totally get you but my rather elderly father loves 3D games - they’ve put hundreds of hours into Skyrim at this point haha. Could never get comfortable with keyboard and mouse but took to a gamepad incredibly quickly.

Sometimes a theme like fantasy or history can be the catalyst to give something the time and patience to learn it. My old man was a huge LOTR fan back in the day (the books especially) and thus the desire to play Skyrim was enough for him to suffer through learning a gamepad and analogue sticks.

Arma Reforger has amazing community servers that mean you can always find somewhere to hop in and have fun.

OpenTTD (Transport Tycoon)
Hedgewars (Worms)
Battle For Wesnoth (awesome turn-based game)
Shattered Pixel Dungeon (Rogue-like)
0A.D. (Age of Empires)
Frozen Bubble (Puzzle Bobble)
Pingus (Lemmings)
Mindustry (Factorio)
FreeOrion (Masters of Orion)

The hardcore/toxic crowd do nothing except alienate and turn people against the cause and make people think being vegan means being surrounded by assholes.

It’s people like you that welcome everyone into the discussion that inspire more people to try it out; you’re bringing about the real change.

I love that approach you’re taking! So many times, even in shows with official subs, they’re wrong because of homonyms and I’d really appreciate a hedged transcript.

I regularly dock my Deck and run games at 1080p or even 2160p on my TV so there’s still a use case for Deck owners.

I would. I don’t like it as is.

Pretty sure the lyrics are:

Girls who are boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they’re girls
Who do girls like they’re boys

Which basically means girls taking the stereotypical male role during intercourse while the boys take the stereotypical female role.

Basically “Pegging: The Musical”.

I turn the brightness on my phone as low as it goes, turn on night shift to get rid of blues, and read (white text on black background / dark mode).

Don’t read in continuous scroll; find a way to turn the page with minimum animation.

Read something you don’t find so compelling as to keep turning pages but enough that you’re happy to read.

I find history books most successful at the moment since there is often no desire by the author to build tension, suspense, etc that keeps you alert.
