Pete Complete, in particular his RimWorld series. His voice, relaxed tone and slow pacing with a lot of pause in his speech puts me to sleep even when I'm not trying to.

For the last time, there is no race of ratmen living under the Imperial cities. Ratmen are a myth and do not exist.

 

This question was inspired by my hatred of Temporal Anti-Aliasing which, in many games nowadays, is poorly used as a performance bandaid. On lower resolutions it will smudge and blur the image and certain bad cases of TAA will cause visible ghosting.

Yet in spite of all this, certain games won't let you turn it off or have hair/fur/foliage look like dogshit without it so sometimes I still use it.

Absolutely nothing. Except for a small shelf that's technically nailed to the wall but it's painted in the same white as the wall so I'm not sure it counts.

My wife is quite sensitive to noises and my neighbor was often playing bass-heavy music in the evening but rarely late, until one night he played until 3 AM (stopped quickly after we ourselves got to bed so I didn't go and complain that night.) Next day, I knock on his door asking if he's the one playing music at 3 AM.

To my surprise, the man apologizes, says he was baked and didn't realize how loud he was. Adds that if he ever is disturbing us in the future, to come and tell him right away.

Now, we're surprisingly more tolerant of his musical habits just knowing how polite and apologetic he was about it. So what could have been a rocky start ended up with us being cool.

French speaker here: Began a message over Teams to a coworker with "Hey, salut!" and wrote "Hey, slut!" instead.

I have never edited a message so quickly in my life.

If you're interested in a dry-humored, game-reviewing owl with an upload schedule just as fucked up as his sleep schedule, try Shammy.

For humorous but interesting, creative and well explained engineering: Stuff Made Here

For interesting gaming challenges: Ymfah is absolutely amazing

"Do something that you love and you'll never work a day in your life."

Bullshit. I worked in the video game industry in a field I'm very passionate about with great people who were all talented. But the industry burned me out and almost killed my passion for games as a hobby with the endless unpaid overtime, constant crunch and deadlines, fairly low wage and all that investment was rewarded by eventually being let go along with all the less senior staff because our studio was bought out and the parent company told to cut expenses.

Don't work for the video game industry, people. Make indie games by all means. But stay clear of the big names.

Beans, lentils and rice are highly nutritious, can all be eaten cold or at room temperature and won't spoil if you make them the day before and keep them in a closed Tupperware.

That's what I do, use uBlock Origin to filter the pop-up. Then most site disable scrolling and that can usually be countered by finding the "overflow: hidden;" and turning it into "overflow: visible;" (you can also use uBlock Origin to inject "overflow: visible !important;" into the page for it to stay persistent.

I like how they made my street a one way street that changes way at each intersection, making it impossible to drive in straight lines. They also keep demolishing ugly concrete roundabouts to then rebuild a similar, just as ugly, vegetation-less concrete roundabout.

I'd make one called "Super Vanilla" It's like regular vanilla ice cream but the person serving it to you calls you boring and try to interest you in one of their own kinks.
