Nah, my friends don't actually care, this is tongue in cheek for all the times I'm playing SDV and they're all masochistically playing From Soft games. That's why I said "imaginary" judgement.

Everybody up in here talking about porn games... I just want to be able to hide Stardew Valley so I can avoid the imaginary judgment of my friends playing much harder or competitive games.

That's an interesting thought. I've wondered this about Chrome's market share in browsers too. How much of it is just that so much traffic is now from phones where, even if you have another browser installed, apps open links in embedded Chrome web views.

Yeah, I don't really see much of an issue here. If you get a defective chip back, it's probably a good data point to know if it was "abused". Even if it's just so you can ask more questions, or prioritize problems that show up on non-OC'd chips rather than flat rejecting an RMA.

I'm not a huge fan of Discovery but I do hope we can get a balance between bold and new and the sort of nostalgia bait we're in now. I mean, I love SNW, and it's really filling out some canon gaps (love Uhura getting some real attention) but I really want to get away from cameos. They felt cheap in Disco S2 and they're still cheap in SNW, but the writing is so much better it's forgivable. PIC and LD are also very rooted in referencing old Trek. Hell, even Prodigy couldn't resist making Janeway a (sort of) main character.

This is why I'm low key hyped about the Academy show, and am hoping it's with Tilly in the far future. Give us Disco's great, inclusive cast as peripheral characters, maybe even flesh them out more, but shift the focus to a class of cadets working as a team. Get back to that optimism and away from Burnham and whatever's destroying the universe this season, without needing to root the show in old Trek.

Haha, I had the same thought.

I don't have the gaming bandwidth to play the old school shooters these days, but civvie's videos are more than enough to remember what made them great, what made them suck, and where they innovated or did clever things you never noticed.

I dunno, I take a different view. Dodgers are already stacked and I'm not sure Ohtani really moves the needle for them in the immediate. He's an amazing player, but Dodgers are practically always in the playoffs and after that, everything is a crap shoot.

I needed this rec, thanks.

Is the right vs. left ear thing head canon? I like it, but I've never heard of that distinction...

Yeah, my sister-in-law has an iPhone and all of my wife's pics and videos turn to garbage in transit. For the longest my SIL just thought Android cameras were terrible and it locked her in to iPhones at upgrade time - which is exactly what Apple intended.

Hunter Pence is a great example, but one of the things that's great about baseball is that there is a place for every body type. If you're in shape (and sometimes even if not) no matter where your athletic gifts are, you can imagine a role on a baseball team.

Bartolo Colon was my pick for OP. If he can be an in demand pitcher into his 40s, any body type can.

Hahaha, definitely not
