I don't listen to this band much but I'm quite partial to Siamés - the Wolf. The animation, limited color palette, and the music all together feel very satisfying.

Depends where you live, it's somehow still alive and well in Poland! You'd usually use the lowercase xd for a more refined and low-key vibe tho, the full caps ones are reserved for special occasions.

In Poland we use standard qwerty keyboards with Polish keyboard layout set (called Polish Programmers), you press alt+character to get the special version (like alt+s gives you ś, alt+a gives you ą and so on, the only nonintuitive one is alt+x which is ź, because alt+z is taken by ż). Combine with shift or caps lock for capital versions. No issues.

Fun, but I don't love the Polish word selection because a lot of these are supposed to contain special characters and they're not actual real Polish words without them.

Like blad - that's not a word. Błąd is a word, it means a mistake. So does this count or no? Or kal vs kał, one is a word (means feces) and one is just some letters.

Wait, three? What's the previous 2? I think I've only heard about this case (...and a lot about Mythos so that proves your point nicely).

I'd love it if Secret World (preferably the original release, not Legends) was a singleplayer RPG instead of the half-assed MMORPG that it was. You could lower the enemy density and respawns, maybe add some computer-controlled party members Guild Wars 1 style, and it would be the dopest thing ever. The lore, vibe, and worldbuilding in this game is immaculate, it's just a shame it's strapped to an MMO framework.

Arbitrarily forcing a choice to clarify your feelings on the matter can actually be very useful, it's just a bit rude to use other people for it. When I have a choice like this I'll sometimes throw some dice (d6, 1-3 for white, 4-6 for blue), if I'm happy or don't mind what they landed on then it's the correct choice, if I'm not I'll probably realize which option I was secretly hoping for and go with that.

I had to check what community I'm in, still can't believe this is not the Onion.

21/24 😎 but mostly because I'm a Tolkien nerd. All the ones I got wrong were old kings of Gondor, clearly shows which part of the universe I don't care about.

Nah, honestly anything better than the bottom-of-the-barrel acrylics is going to add up quickly when you buy enough of it to make something like a sweater. If you want to use natural fibers (wool, cotton, I'll take bamboo too) that's a large jump in price, even if you're not getting anything too fancy. And I feel like if I'm going to spend months hand-knitting a sweater, I don't want to end up with something that's all plastic and will degrade in a year.

I do also have some fancy hand-dyed yarns that were properly expensive and these ones are indeed 100% on me :P But they're not really what I'm talking about here.

Crocheting/knitting is cheap to try out but once you really get into it (and start worrying about yarn quality and so on), the money pit opens. Ask me how I know.

Ah yes, I love the smell of burning bridges in the evening. Fuck. And I was getting excited about Divinity! Well, guess that means more money to spend on other things.
