Much much better

Heh. The world is a small place. I live very near here! I had no idea they were doing this! I’ll check it out.

I had no idea there were other bellinglemmings! (That doesn’t have the same ring to it)

Hah I kinda like the idea of tasting random foods from books. Sounds ridiculous, but who knows, might be fun!

Never heard it called something like this, but it seems like an interesting idea. I assume they’re going to expose the kids to a bunch of books and hopefully pique their interest?

I just enjoy not owning things. Hard to own things when everything you own has to fit in your car/van/tiny house. Something enjoyable about optimizing what you own and ensuring everything you own serves at least one purpose.

I enjoyed it. I 100 percented the game and it really scratched my Sekiro itch. I preferred the combat of Sekiro more but Lies of P was as close as I’ve come to Sekiro. I really enjoy parry mechanics, but I had to fallback more to the dodge behind and attack mechanics for several of the bosses. I found the boss battles difficult but not that difficult. Usually I’d be able to overcome the boss in under a dozen tries and I don’t remember having to run very far to retry any bosses. The lore felt lukewarm to me… but so does every other souls like. It left me excited for the DLC. It helped that I got it for essentially free when I picked up the Xbox game pc pass.

Submit the PR to fix it! The link to the GitHub is right there

New Zealand?

Doesn’t run on mobile :(

Otherwise it looks like it’d be a good time waster

Rock on.

Hades 2!

Wow. That is certainly a failure of leadership there. That’s insanity

I understand why trash, drugs, and homelessness occur. What I don’t understand is how to fix it.

The cities do clean trash up at, I should probably find a source for this, a significant cost. (From what I understand, this is due to the hazardous nature of the materials being cleaned up) Because these encampments can pop up anywhere, it’s not always practical to provide trash receptacles/dumpsters before it becomes a big problem. Having folks clear out during daytime hours at least helps that situation, but it’s far from ideal. It appears that Victoria BC is/was doing this and the atmosphere seemed a lot better overall when compared to Portland. Green spaces were usable, no major trash piles (that I saw) and homeless folks weren’t hassled when trying to sleep. I should note that I’m far from educated on Victorias homeless woes so there’s probably nuance here.

It’s not entirely clear how much power cities have to stop the housing crisis on their own, but I get the impression that the high cost of rent is mostly out of their control. Additionally, a lot of cities often do not have the resources to provide these services at the level they’re needed. It seems like there should be some level of expectation for every city/county/state whatever to provide services for a percentage of their population and organization to route folks from high saturated services to lower saturated services… and then sweep folks who refuse services… but the devil is in the details I’m sure.

I’m with you on this. It seems like it’d have to be a coalition of states or the federal government tackling it. That seems impossible at the moment though.

I fully support whatever level of housing we can provide for folks that have the bare necessities… water, sewer, trash, and safety. Also agree that there would need to be some cap on services…. As a city could go bankrupt if the regions folks had flocked to them.

Portland had a few self regulated slightly better than tent cities that, as far as I could tell, had a pretty reasonable compromise. Not ideal… but they provided stability for folks and, if someone caused trouble or brought drugs in, they got kicked out. Better, at least, than the current situation of chaos, drugs, and trash everywhere.

Gonna risk going a bit against the grain here…

I have a lot of empathy for their situation.

I don’t know what the solution is but it isn’t the status quo. A lot of the west coast cities are having a disproportionate problem with homeless. It’s not clear if people are bussing their homeless or the housing prices or what.

The amount of trash generated by these homeless camps is nuts and ruins virtually every public space. In Portland, it is common to find hypodermic needles littered in the parks. You’ll walk past people on the sidewalk passed out with a needle in their arm or actively doing drugs. Human excrement on the sidewalk. I wish I had some solution but the current situation sucks for everyone.

So far I’m enjoying it! It has a soft progression limiter where you get cursed in such a way that monsters get increasingly more damaging every encounter… this goes away after you run into this person a few times.

My only concern is that I’ll feel the need to replay it once all of the content is there… which I guess isn’t too bad!

Mmm meat kettle

That’s a nice lookin screen!

Holy shit. If this article is legitimate these people are morons. Luckily the governor, state, and house are all democratic controlled.

Jesus wept.
