Surely people can't be surprised by this? When I occasionally look at FB now, it's probably 80% sponsored ads or follow this type "posts"

Which games are you planning to play this year? in c/jrpg@lemmy.zip

[–] kethali 3 points 3 months ago

I'm planning on replaying the older Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest games, once my Trimui Smart Pro gets here sometime this month (instead of last month, thanks Canada Post)

Discord’s New Age Verification uses AI and Your Face! in c/discordapp@lemmy.world

I already hate how so many things use discord when it could be on a simple web page instead. I won't miss it, I'm not going to submit to that either.

Awesome album, I've been listening to it this weekend

I don't remember hearing about Satellite Reign, looks awesome. I'm going to have to check that out!

Syndicate I have fond memories of, seems cyberpunk enough. Deus Ex was also a lot of fun, though my computer at the time could barely run it.

Plenty of anime from the 90s that fit the theme as well.

if you workout and run, would you recommend a merino wool base or mid layer for autumn/winter? or am I going to break it? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[–] kethali 3 points 5 months ago

I can't speak for base/mid layers, but I wear merino wool socks at work (danish endurance, not 100% but a blend), in steel toe boots, and they last quite a while. Haven't had any holes or even wearing thin, and I'm notoriously hard on socks and footwear.

I was just watching that episode last week!

Brad PItt's F1 film due to premiere 27th June 2025, according to Apple TV. in c/formula1@lemmy.world

Kind of a terrible title for the movie (not the most searchable), hopefully it doesn't suck though.

What’s your font and size? in c/kindle@sh.itjust.works

[–] kethali 3 points 9 months ago

Default font? (Bookerly), size 5. Backlight set to 1, great for reading in bed without bothering anyone

Been awhile and stressful end of school year, and couldn’t relax enough to read… Today is not that day! Reading Laws by Plato. What are you reading? Our community is growing — feel free to post ;) in c/kindle@sh.itjust.works

I just finished Upgrade by Blake Crouch, and started reading Dark Matter by him.

I had thought the same thing recently but wasn't sure if I was imagining it or not

Radio to add to UV-5R collection? (self.amateur_radio)

I currently have a pair of Baofeng UV-5R radios, looking to add to my collection. Just for local range. I've been looking at the Tidradio TD-H3, Quansheng UV-K5, Baofeng UV-17R Pro, and Radtel RT-470X. They each have features that sound good but I can't decide which to get out of these options.

Any genre, any era - what are some of your favorite live songs ever?

One of my favorites definitely has to be Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb

Is it summer yet? (self.newfoundland)

submitted 2 years ago by kethali to c/newfoundland

It's great for keeping forest fires at bay, but I'm getting pretty sick of all this rain!

I'm planning on some camping trips this summer, and I'm just hoping the weather is nice for those days. I just booked some provincial park campsites for week-long trip at the end of July, one park had just two sites left for the two days I'm planning to be there. I'll just have to eat the reservation/change fees if the weather ends up being horrible by then. You can't really leave it for the last minute and hope there is an available site, unfortunately.
