While Chester was one of kind - I really like Emily Armstrong. I saw them live a few months ago and she put on a SHOW. I got worried when the first few songs she was getting the crowd to sing most of the lyrics for the old Chester stuff, but then she let it rip for the second half and fucking tore the place down.

I kind of hate most media’s use of the word “primitive” - particularly when it comes to our ancestors. It’s like, okay reporter let’s see YOU try and repair someone’s shattered jaw with stuff you find in the forest. Let’s see you try and build a fish trap so that you can feed yourself and your family. Let’s see anyone eke out a living harvesting plants that may or may not kill you.
Nothing about what any of our ancestors did was primitive. What they did to survive was incredibly sophisticated and separates humans from the rest of the animal kingdom that can barely operate beyond eating and fucking. The use of “primitive” gives an air of superiority from someone whose greatest challenge in life is deciding on their latest Uber delivery food order while they lay on the couch scratching their ass.
Death Stranding: Director’s Cut.
Picked it up for $13 CAD a few days ago. Runs great on my Steam Deck with Lossless Scaling. Minor framerate dips, but I can’t afford the time or money to build a better computer so I’ll take what I can get. Being able to pick up the Deck, play for a few minutes, pause, and put it to sleep so I can deal with my kiddo is the only way I can play anything right now. Sucks that I “lose connection to the game server” if I put the Deck to sleep for too long, but it doesn’t seem to impact the gameplay too much.
Kojima definitely self-indulges too hard with his storytelling and celebrity worship, but I have to give him (or maybe his writers) credit for his world building.
The controls and gameplay can be a bit frustrating at times, but they’ve also resulted in some memorable moments. I’ll take the odd annoying moment, like losing my balance in a deep creek and dropping all my cargo, if it then creates a fun event, me scrambling down the creek madly picking up the wet suit cases of quest specific items to then narrowly deliver it all without failing.
It’s worth checking out if you enjoyed the Metal Gear games, or enjoy exploring maps and unlocking areas and the emergent gameplay of something like Breath of the Wild.
Cool, I hadn’t heard of this game! I love the idea of a “single-player MMO.” I don’t have time for subscriptions, and trying to grind gear to keep up with the content/other players. Like you said, being able to drop the game for a few months and pick it back up where I left off is amazing.
Wish listed!
I switched over to Lawnchair leaving Nova Launcher just last week. All the Lemmy articles about the new owners forced my hand. Perfect timing!
If you’re interested in why he is doing what he is doing - I would highly suggest turning on the close captions. It was a game changer as someone that is entertained by infotainment!
No idea about the drama, but the Sync app, which I also use, hasn’t got an update since March 26, 2024 according to the Play Store.
It feels like it is largely abandonware at this point. I’m just waiting for it to break before I find something else.
Yes, you are correct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nunavut
Nunavut was created in 1999 by separating from the Northwest Territories. The Northwest Territories joined Canadian Confederation in 1870.
Regardless, it’s a pretty freaking cool picture.

I haven’t played it yet, but it’s been on my wishlist for awhile.
At times like this I almost miss the old “bone apple tea” community over in the other place… Almost.
