BG3 and Starfield. Those are going to keep me plenty busy.

I tend to mostly just participate by adding comments. But occasionally a create a new post/thread. So I’d say that I’m personally 85% lurk, 14% comment, 1% create/post. I tend to post in more specialized/niche forums versus the big communities. Those have lots of content already.

The only reason for starlink to exist is because telcos were allowed to ignore building out infrastructure to serve more areas. I don’t know if incentives were ever provided to get them the capital to be willing to build out the infrastructure in less populates/rural areas.

Realizing that we have turned earth orbit into a garbage pile simply because we refused to step up and do right by our citizens instead of maximizing capitalism certainly stings.

I only have 22mbit where I live and no available fiber. There’s no faster service either. We get by with it, but in a full household, it can certainly cause lots of buffering and bandwidth restrictions. When we worked from home, it could be a problem on occasions. I live in a decently sized community in the southeastern US. There’s no excuse for this.

I just finished watching the first season of Silo. It was good enough to make me get the book series and start reading it. I thought the tv show was a bit slow and got bogged down some. Now that I’m reading the book, yup, I can tell that it really is going much slower than the book.

This is hired I felt too. I just finished the first book. The entire 10 episodes of the first season probably got 1/2 way through the book. There were frustrating moments in the series and a lot of drawn out plot points that were more nimbly handled in the book. The series kept some things vague and generated extra drama to keep you watching. The book focused on other things. Both were good. I enjoyed the series enough to want to read the books. But I liked the book a bit better.

I haven’t posted many pics, but the couple of times I did, the orientation was wrong. What did you do to get it to not turn it sideways?

Cute doggo btw.

Ahhh. Good thinking. I hope it’s something that lemmy can figure out so we don’t have to do questions like this. I bet it’ll get easier in time.

I used to live in Florida 20 years ago. I also went scuba diving off the keys. Back then it was shear worrisome that water temps were getting in the upper 80s and there was some occasional bleaching.

It breaks my heart to see what’s happening now. It’s so much worse than it already was when I lived there.

I’m thinking about a ranger build. I can’t decide whether elf or drow or what subclass though.
