Definitely, this app is now my daily driver for Lemmy (which is essentially all of my social media at this point). Great app and awesome pace of updates.

Link Between Worlds and the Links Awakening remake count, though. If you haven't checked those out they are both great.

I'm partial to the litany against fear. Not super deep, but I can say I've recited it quietly to myself a few times! It's a decent tool to acknowledge, process, then repress and move past true fear.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain

Hear hear. The steam deck is making me appreciate that the most. I initially hoped cross-platform saves would work for games on the Switch and PC, but I don't think I've seen a single game where that works. It's part of the reason the Deck has replaced the Switch for me. Steam cloud saving is usually flawless between Deck/PC.

The downside of true cross-platform is that it requires server side saving. Which usually means another launcher and multiplayer/GAAS BS. Diablo is no exception.

For more modern CT-likes I would recommend Chained Echoes and the soon-to-be-released Sea of Stars. Chained Echoes was fantastic.

Speaking of "legendary", he played literal Satan in the movie Legend. Huge fucking horns and everything. Also RHPS of course. Truly a legend. Too bad about his stroke, but he's still voice acting!

The wafer equipment market has more US roots than the fab market, as many tools are designed here (even if built in Asia). Their supply chains are different than TSMC/Samsung and less localized to "home country only". Also, TSMC was bringing their supply chain with them for AZ.

Generally yes. I played for a few hours then stopped as I wanted to keep it fresh for release...but what I did play was definitely fun. I'm excited they pulled the release ahead of starfield.

While this is inevitable, it's also terrifying. I don't think we're close to Skynet, but I could definitely see needless escalation due to over-relying on AI analysis.

When the government is expected to provide such generous benefits (half his salary in Spain, per the article) it seems that something has to change. It's even good that some people are working past that age, and continuing to pay into it for others. It seems inappropriate to ask the people who are depending on the pension to reduce benefits or pay more- why not ask more of the true beneficiaries of their labor?

My US-centric view is less rosy, as we get WAY less in pension and limited healthcare...all the while there are literal billionaires who pay no taxes. Keep the benefits, tax the rich.

It is interesting that there is a lot of new construction, as it highlights the changing goods that are being produced in the US. I imagine many of those closed down factories in the rust belt/Midwest aren't coming back, as those jobs (machining, welding, stamping, etc.) might still be done in LCC. The new construction $ is likely driven by biopharma, semiconductor, EV, and other high-tech manufacturing as the article starts to imply.

You're not a "doomer", as I read it more like the opposite- your defense of global trade is optimistic. Trade and specialization doesn't work nearly that cleanly in practice.

Companies and governments saw the disruptions of the past few years and realized that there are unaccounted for costs (and benefits) to the global supply chain. COVID, shipping disruptions (strikes, Evergreen, prices), the chip shortage, etc. all have taught a lesson about the diversification of supply chain risk. Decentralization isn't less efficient when you include those costs. So it makes more sense now to make goods in America for America, and make goods in China for China. Not all goods, obviously, but the scales have shifted...and that's a good thing for the health of global supply.
