I’ve been playing Dead Space remake on PS5 since it was free last month. Still haven’t beaten it yet as I’ve had very little time. Been loving it though. Just hope I finish by the time the Christmas season starts in earnest haha. Kind of conflicting vibes.

Yeah I agree with you there.

Shall I compare thee, to a Cretaceous day?

I’m kind of on Google’s side here. Especially during covid, chatting in IM essentially replaced hallway chatter. Nobody would want all of their verbal communications in an office being recorded on the record. Having IMs be off the record by default seems reasonable to me.

Ugh.

Loose rhymes with noose. I can’t think of a word that’s spelled and pronounced like lose so you have me there.

choose lose cruise booze

all rhyme lol

Off-topic, but I do agree in general that Edge is a solid browser. I use it when I’m at work and really love the vertical tabs and tab groups. I use firefox for personal use and am patiently waiting for the vertical tabs on the stable release (and not just in about:config).

It is a little strange that they are both holding the ends of the cigarette that is supposedly lit with all that smoke.

Oh I definitely email at work. I meant in my personal life. Like, I can’t remember the last time I emailed a friend or family member. But yeah I email at work, or for customer support, or to businesses and whatnot.

Honestly I really miss being able to record live TV with a VCR. I still watch tv with an antenna, mainly for football games, and it would be really nice if there was a way I could record them. Whenever I’ve looked into making my own DVR it just seems too expensive and confusing.

That’s a good point. I guess if I’m in the situation where I have a lot to say; I’d rather just talk on the phone with someone. Now that I think of it, I feel like the telephone replaced physical letters before email even came along. But, I do highly respect the long-form communication of letters and email. It’s just kind of rare these days.

I thought this was a mini-pc to compete with the mac mini, until I realized its streaming only. I’d much rather cough up the extra $250 for the insane jump in power that the mac mini gives you.

I don’t remember the last time I actually emailed someone I knew as a form of communication. I forward newsletters to my wife sometimes. The culture of texting, where you can take your time to respond (within a day or two), has kind of made email obsolete.

I wonder what the “significant” update to the first game will be. No mention of it in the article.

Changing the channel on the tv itself instead of having a clicker.

I hope this doesn’t happen. From Soft games are too prominent on Xbox and Switch; I would feel bad for those fans. I don’t mind them having a second party relationship every now and then like Demons Souls and Bloodborne, but to outright own them seems unnecessary.
