I can get a solid 2-3 hours on Baldur’s Gate 3 (with a bunch of mods) before I have to worry about plugging it back in. All the other games I play right now are the other ones that you’ve mentioned are older games that really don’t drain the battery at all. I’ve used mine pretty consistently since November December of last year, and I haven’t really noticed a drop in performance of battery life.

I really wanna try some of the newer games that look great like that Clair Obscur 33 game to see how it compares.

It’s been said before, and I’ll say it again: these posts are awesome, I love the thought and effort put into it. Even if nothing within the article sparks my particular interest, the format is so fun and well-made that I happily read it, like some sort of article reading enjoyer of enjoyable articles of sorts

I’ve been pronouncing it all-e-glucky

Manipulativeness

“Hey, I was wondering if you could help me figure something out. I was really flattered by your invite the other day, but I’m not interested in dating right now. I enjoy your friendship and I don’t want to jeopardize it. Is there a way we can comfortably set boundaries without ruining that?”

IMO this way you let them know you’re interested in maintaining a relationship but at a friendship level. You demonstrate that you care about their feelings while clearly establishing the need for specific boundaries.

Also, “Pierre” also means “rock” in french, so his name could be translated to “Stone Wolf Clawed”

When I challenge my established concepts with new ideas or angles, and realize my previously held truth doesn’t hold up to scrutiny, or is reinforced or expanded upon. For example, “is a hot dog a sandwich?” makes me reconsider how so much depends on context, and how we as humans crave labelling and categorizing to the point of it being detrimental (see biological sex vs gender, Star Trek edit wars, classical music and pornography cataloguing, etc)

“Alright, we have at least 6 witnesses willing to testify that they think I’m pretty. If you confess and say that at least I’m cute, we’ll let you get off easy.”

“I wanna talk to my lawyer.”

“Sorry, my partner is a loose cannon. Look, we just want to make sure you’ve got good taste.”
