I've been PC gaming since 8-bit computers. I eventually bought an Xbox One as my first console and a Switch some years ago. I just couldn't get into either of them after the initial novelty wore off. PC gaming is so much more convenient for me. I'm already at my PC, I just need to start a game. And I can multi-task with other apps in the background or on my second monitor. Going to the living room to play on a console on the TV, or switching inputs if I keep it attached to my PC monitor, both are too much hassle. I only ever use the XBox for Just Dance (nothing beats Kinect for it) and I've played many more hours of Switch games on an emulator on my PC than on the actual Switch.

This is the order of play that makes most sense for that outcome. X starting in the corner or in the center is pretty much the same thing (can't lose if playing optimal moves, can only win if O plays the side). O played wrong by not taking the center.

Except he didn't mention the product name anywhere in the letter. Looks like he purposefully avoided it being interpreted as an ad.

Laws have changed and he retroactively reduced sentences that were longer under the old laws. But yes, the reasoning for the change was that previous laws were unjust.

Why does that character have two left hands?

Not all turkish delight in Turkey is good. Especially the one in tourist shops. The same way you can eat meh sushi in Japan or meh pizza in Italy.

These accessories

[–] lunarul 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

They were attached to an accessory that allowed them to slide like that. It must have a point other than just look cool on the trailer.

My switch came with black joycons. Iirc it cost extra to get the colored ones.

In all your examples, k is a prefix to the unit. You can have 1 km, or 1 kdB. But there's no such thing as a kilopercent and that's not how it was used in the title. It was the common informal shortening of 1000 to 1k. So it wasn't 1(k%), it was (1k)%. Which is an odd combination. It's not confusing, everyone understood what was meant, but it's still stupid and unnecessary.

But % is not a unit.

[–] lunarul 16 points 5 days ago

1k is a common way to shorten 1,000. And 1,000% is an acceptable way to say 10x. But 1k% is definitely a stupid abbreviation that nobody uses.

How are these usually attached to the wall? Can I just pry them off or would that damage the drywall?

And follow up questions: how can I reproduce that texture when painting the newly exposed areas of the wall?

I don't know much about Pokémon cards, but I know this is a rare holo. Is it worth much?

Backstory: my son (6yo) kept talking lately about a Mewtwo he got at a birthday party and how he's going to trade it with his classmate for a Darkrai, but he lost his Mewtwo somewhere in the car. So yesterday I finally get around to searching below the car seat to find this. A holo Mewtwo Vstar, in a protective sleeve too. I asked him repeatedly if it was really in the goodie bag (making sure the b-day kid didn't just give it away on their own without parents knowing), but yeah, everyone got cards in their bags (but doesn't sound like anyone got something like this one). For now I told him to just keep it safe and not use it to play with and definitely don't trade it away.
