Right off the bat I can tell you it's like Metroid and Celeste had a baby with a grappling hook system. It also has controller support! Story just drops you in the middle of things which is... An odd choice but I guess it's a piecing together kind of thing. Charming music as well.

Can we not inflate his bullshit on this new site though? Like... This is just him saying whatever random stuff to stay in people's minds. There's no meaning behind it and there's no action either. It's just actual clogging up of more important politics and news.

Same. And it's both of them this time? And Vesper just got a new model... Something in the background, but I hope they're alright.

It's odd that they say Steam Link is a bad option because of video and audio decoding, but you can disable all of that and just stream inputs. But idk about Wi-Fi solutions. Sometimes my friend and I connected our Steam Deck to the main pc and we'd both completely drop inputs out of nowhere for 1 minute or so at the same time. (PC connected to ether net and all that)

I have no idea what that was, but boy a hardware solution or Bluetooth would be nice.

I can't imagine how hard it was to connect together the sparse stories of Overwatch into a whole show.

But it does suck that all the hype is blown out the window due to how mismanaged this IP was. I hope the anime at least does OK so that Blizzard can use the medium for future projects.

It might be because most of us Americans lick the boots of corporations for free or get in line to.

Well-realized!

I think the difference here is that we know the interface and trusted developer choices of those apps.

I'm currently using Connect for Lemmy right now and I'm still excited for Sync because I've used it for years.

But each update for Connect so far has been extremely good with quite a few features added. It's also incredibly straightforward to use. So at this point I'm curious how Sync will step into the ring.

Hell, it could have all the same features as Connect, but add previewing with a hold and that'd be an amazing thing for compressing posts. But also Sync can cater to left-handed people like me with its customization.

Ryan George is an absolute genius

Just try to find extra ways to extract enjoyment out of the tougher tasks. Turn it into a game AND REWARD yourself for getting through it.

Here's the thing, you do these things more for self maintenance rather than for it to feel good. Brush your teeth and floss now so they don't rot when you're older. And that comes faster than you think. Like I was eating dinner at my neighbor's house on his 60th birthday and he was dealing with painful root canals. (But my sister had to deal with those in her teens)

Homework SUCKS, but it teaches you discipline for yourself. Doing parts you don't quite enjoy just to get the job done. Which is insanely important for every single work ethic you do in your future. I know so many 3d artists who are incredible, but have the attention span worse than rats. So they don't go anywhere and constantly need to be told to stay focused.

A clean room is a clean mind. Having a messy room to wake up to is fine at first. But it can tend to get worse and spread throughout the rest of the house over time and 1 small task each day turns into a mountainous multi-day cleanup. (My mother is a hoarder of projects and stuff. 2 rooms completely unusable in the house and she leaves her tools all over the place without making a habit of putting stuff back. I never know where anything is)

It's the same for food. You eat the damn vegetables now to get a palette for them or you will suffer obesity by fast food or whatever. Which leads to lack of energy and always feeling fatigued. (Which I'm currently dealing with and only now just got to liking Broccoli. I'm 29)

As someone who decided to only live for things that I actually care about and even made my own job as a 3d animator, maintenance and discipline show up in places you don't expect and you'll be thankful you built it up beforehand. The things that make me feel good are my choices in what I work on, the dream that I strive for, and the fact that I carry a sense of quality and discipline at some points to be able to be more ambitious than others because I will carry out tough tasks rather than avoid them even when they don't make me feel rewarded.

Lastly let's talk about the schedule. Super important to even have one despite friends being all, "Let's go out late at night til 4am". Let's see their attention span when they're older. Well the schedule helps you get food in your body that you might forget to do because you're so focused, or even overly eat. Sleep is incredibly important, but you know something is wrong when you wake up and already feel tired. You may break the schedule to however you want after school, which is really nice, but if you create your own job in art then you'll have to apply one to yourself or weeks or months will fly by and you're stuck on the same project without focus.

Also, take notes YOUR way. Forget standardized notes. Just write down whatever helps you remember things in the way you do. School usually forces tests without notes, but all work and even important conversations outside of school is all about taking notes and rereading them. Learn any way you can to enjoy that part! I have my own Discord server for all kinds of notes I take that get categorized. I also have a fast notes page in my phone's home screen because my memory is just bad. And that's OK, because I take great notes!

I'm a MASSIVE fan of IRyS! The way she's like a princess that was locked up in a tower with the only view of the outside world through anime and Manga has made the utmost unpredictable girl I've ever seen. She's a joy to watch while I work and her streams are long enough I could finish around the same time she does! (Either that or she just keeps going, the mad lass)

I also love how brave and persistent she is in horror games. And that she pays attention to the logs and other stuff that really completes the atmosphere. So her streams never feel like a cheap gimmick for easy screams. If anything, her YabaiRys "gimmick" is primarily what keeps you on your toes because you have no idea what comes out of that girl's mouth next!

To top all of this is the healthy relationship with Bae. To me, it makes me less worried about others being too parasocial about her like the other talents, because she's got her wife that we all root for.

Also, Till the End of Me is an absolutely amazing song!
