StarCraft 2 still looks amazing.

For me, it will start feeling “right” about 15 minutes after I start studying or working. You need a while to get into it, to get warmed up.

Could it be comparable to the rise and decline of Westerns?

Was it The Sandman?

Pluralistic.net: Cory Doctorow writes really interesting posts about tech and privacy.

One of the other advantages of LW is that it’s run from the EU and thus has to comply with the GDPR. Given all the shit that Reddit pulled during the exodus, this may have been an additional reason for people to choose LW over one of the North American instances.

I use a Fiio M6 to run Spotify, by downloading playlists through my home wifi before going out. It’s not the cheapest option, but I’ve had it since before the pandemic and it still works like a charm.

The device comes with an app to play MP3s, so that should work easily as well.

There are a lot of Asian female fronted rock bands, like BabyMetal, Lovebites, Gacharic Spin and Asterism. EDIT: also Hanabie.

A lot of symphonic metal bands are like that. On the top of my head, you could check out Nightwish, Within Temptation, Epica and Unleash the Archers.

Melissa Bonny does a lot of collaborations with other bands, just search her name on Youtube.

Yeah, the Runeterra universe is awesome! I played LoR for two years, basically for the lore and the art card. I burnt out on the game, but I still miss those aspects.

The release of Arcane was awesome as well, with all kinds of different media experiences. Looking forward to season two (November 2024 D: ).

Also 4K Video Downloader.

My gut says it either has to do with the way shows were filmed, or it’s a leftover from theatrical plays.

Pippi Longstocking, although live-action, is from Sweden.

I think it’s pretty standard in the EU.

Yeah, learning to perform a macro cycle while doing other stuff is really useful. I sometimes play AoE2 with friends, and I’m not very good at it, but if there’s one thing I can do, it’s spamming trash units in the late game.

Yeah, it sounds like a great starting point if you want to work for a local government.

Sorry, didn’t get a notification.

Yeah, it’s basically at high school level, so most of the adult population should be able to understand it without much issue.

Considering busywork, many online texts are unnecessarily long in order to fit as many ads in between as possible. I’ve encountered texts (even about academic subjects) that are practically unreadable if you don’t skim them, because they’re not meant to be read closely.

Everyone knows what it’s like to look up information on the internet nowadays: most of your time is spent on scrolling or clicking past ads and scanning webpages until you’ve found a source that’s actually useful.

I think a lot of people have been trained to skim online texts because they’re designed explicitly to waste your time.
