Ownership isn't required to use the death note. This is like when Ray Penber, the FBI Agent, unknowingly wrote the names of all the FBI agents on the page.

Wow, literally just got my wife a steam deck to play this game with me and created her an EA account last week. Joining each other was annoying using the EA friend's list and the steam deck trackpad. Hope this update streamlines the process.

Update: Invites using the Steam friend list was simple and worked well.

Recently watched both with my children in order and they loved them. The movies hit harder emotionally now that I'm older with children (a few tears were shed).

The animation is beautiful and a couple songs stuck with my kids. "There are no cats in America, and the streets are paved with cheese!"

I agree the second one is more fun, but still enjoyed the first.

After googling, there were two more sequels and a tv series I haven't seen.

Same, but I can understand that Valve doesn't want to give false impressions that a game runs perfectly when there are imperfections as mentioned. Valve has high community trust.

But yeah, I usually just read the incompatibility issues and usually decide it's not a big deal and play anyway.

Video Archive (sh.itjust.works)

Sorry to hear Tom isn't making videos anymore. Anyone know about an archive of his videos available for downloading for later viewing and archiving?

Good products are worth sharing to help shape future products. Grass roots only works if the product is worth using. Vote with your wallet to help shape future products. While the previously poster can be viewed as an "ad", the post is same as a next door neighbor bringing it up. Mullvad doesn't do affiliate marketing or pay influencers.

I used to use Mullvad but now I use a different service, but especially like to support open source products.

My experience is the same. How are women's bodies so tolerant to hot water?

I should have known if the apps free, you're the product. Duolingo appears to harvest the most data compared to other language learning apps.

The spells that require spell slots are definitely more fun and I will be resting more to have access to them.

Also you just revolutionized my thought process once you informed me I can store all my food at camp.

[-] Sparkega@sh.itjust.works 13 points 10 months ago

Thanks. I will start resting more often.

Long Resting (sh.itjust.works)

I've never played D&D and I'm getting into BG3. I must be marathoning my characters cause I'm usually out of spells when I run into fights. My useful exploration spells also cost spell slots so I'm usually proceeding with cantrips for my adventures until I decide I really need to recharge.

How often is everyone else going through a long rest? I know there's a trade off of consuming camp supplies and so maybe I'm just the guy who saves all the items for end game and never ends up using them.

I recommend using Privacy.com to create virtual credit cards that withdraw directly from a bank account. I see it as a VPN for credit card purchases. For US customers only, but obscures payment info to merchants.

You can use a bogus name and address for the merchant billing information (in this case Google Play).

It's going to vary based on the usage amount. Popular apps are going to be charged a lot.

From Reddit's blog about the change:

Effective July 1, 2023, the rate for third-party apps that require higher usage limits is $0.24 per 1K API calls.

Apollo's developer stated in May 2023, Apollo made 7 billion requests, which would put it at about 1.7 million dollars per month, or 20 million US dollars per year.

Researchers analyzed 190 million hacking events on a honeynet and categorized the types of hackers into Dungeons and Dragons classses.

Rangers evaluate the system and set conditions for a follow-on attack.

Thieves install cryptominers and other profiteering software.

Barbarians attempt to brute force their way into adjacent systems.

Wizards connect the newly compromised system to a previous to establish 'portals' to tunnel through to obscure their identity.

Bards have no apparent hacking skill and likely purchase or otherwise acquire access. They perform basic computer tasks.

I wonder if it'd be worth spoofing packets with some automation? Get that sweet discount and still maintain your privacy?

If insurance companies mandate tracking I could see new efforts to do this like piracy and adblocking came about.
