It genuinely upsets me that Valve spent their time and resources on another Dota variation in c/[email protected]

Nah, I just type gg at the end. They're just games, like disc golf, volleyball, or airsoft. I lose sometimes, actually I lose a fuck-ton, but that's just statistics if the matchmaking isn't actually the worst. It's those wild unscripted moments. Coordinating with your buddies. Learning your opponents. Learning yourself.

I get the appeal of single player games, but I'll just share my opinion: to me the most stressful gaming moments are hard bosses in single-player campaigns. If I get my ass handed to me in a multiplayer match, nbd "gg This is Rocket League". I'll get them next time. In the single player you're stuck though. I've gotten migraines because I couldn't beat a boss and I was stressing over the wasted money I spent on the game that I might not ever finish. Beating a boss after <5 tries is satisfying. Beating it after 20+ feels like getting out of the hospital.

Maybe they didn't mean wind tunnel, but that they lit a cigarette and checked the airflow 🤷

Upvote for unpopular, and I totally disagree. I haven't had a dry turkey since I was a kid and my parents were still young. Stuffing, mash potatoes, and green bean casserole to me are like comfort food. Our family also does candied yams, devilled eggs, ham, bacon-wrapped asparagus, homemade dinner rolls, and all sorts of deliciousness.

TL;DR if the Roku app is failing to play back some videos recently, try turning on "Text Subtitles Only" in playback settings

So I'd been having this issue where certain videos would fail to playback in the Roku player (but only on Roku, playing from the Android app, the browser, or directly all worked). The video would get stuck buffering at 33%, but after a minute or so it'd finally stop with "There was an error retrieving the data for this item from the server". Transcoding issue? I'd been trying to figure this issue out for a few hours over the course of a few days. I don't recall having this issue before mid-December, and as I learned today apparently there was a big update to the Roku app.

Anyway, my first real clue was using "ffmpeg -i video.mp4" to compare the codecs of a known working video and a not working video. The non-working video was showing an issues with subtitles. So after poking around in the Roku client's settings I saw the "Text Subtitles Only" option in playback settings, and enabling it worked!

Hopefully someone sees this and it saves them a headache. I had to postpone my personal movie night like three times trying to figure this out

Feature request: make "Scrolling past Post marks as read" toggle accessable from the main feed (lemm.ee)
 

Pretty much title. Sometimes I want to see new content, sometimes I want to go back and look at old content. It's a little exhausting having to jump into settings to hit that toggle, and it would be really cool if we could switch it from the top bar or in the three-dot menu in the top bar

Request: option to auto-hide nav and title bars (lemm.ee)
 

Scrolling down hides them, scrolling up they come back. I like being able to see more content at a time, it'll make the app feel less claustrophobic.

[Feature Request] Haptic feedback on minimizing comment chains (lemm.ee)
 

Infinity for reddit used to vibrate briefly when comment chains were minimized (same way, press and hold). I got really used to that feedback.

Also related, but an option to disable the animation for minimizing comment chains would be cool. The slide is kind of disorienting to me
