Every time I consider not tipping I just feel bad cause I know the workers are going to suffer for as long as it takes to make the restaurant or whatever to start paying properly.

But all the new places that now have a tip option but has never been customary to tip in the past can fuck off, don’t want to normalize that shit.

I didn’t have a vehicle prior to the purchase, just used my bike or grabbed a ride from someone. Probably should’ve just got a small car and a rack but it’s paid for itself during our recent move so it worked out.

I was amazed recently how hard it was to find a proper small truck. Just wanted something to carry my bicycle so I could try some different trails that are farther from my house.

All the new trucks are huge and the old small trucks are expensive. Ended up with a “mid-sized” Nissan and it’s bigger than the F-150s all my friends had growing up. I still want an old Ford Ranger or something but they’re just too damn expensive now.

First FromSoft was DS3 for me but Sekiro is still my favorite. I had played other Souls-likes before though, I think The Surge was my first, maybe Nioh. Can’t remember for sure but Sekiro is still my favorite of them all.

This doesn’t happen on 1.45.0. I hadn’t updated Voyage in a while so I tested it. Once updated it started happening.

I have a Kobo, you can set it to “sideload mode” and you don’t need an account of any kind. It disables the store and all that and I never turn WiFi on so it’s completely offline.

I use Calibre, an amazing FOSS ebook manager, to sync my books to the Kobo.

Pretty much just download whatever from Anna’s Archive, throw it in Calibre and get it to fetch all the artwork and metadata if I want it and sync to the Kobo.

Calibre takes a little getting used to but it’s not too bad, it’s also extremely powerful once you learn more about it.

I believe Steam is just showing you games that can run natively on Linux. You have to run Windows games through wine/proton like the Deck does.

I don’t actually have an anything except the Deck running Linux so I can’t help beyond that. I may even be wrong but it’s at least a place to start searching.

The space ship flying clip is from Whisker Squadron: Survivor and the other one is Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (it’s an awesome game, give it a try).

Someone made a list of all the games from the trailer too if you’re interested. u/mulard from reddit gets all the credit for this list.

had the same question so started compiling something, hope this helps.

From the trailer here, going from top left to bottom right: https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamdeck/images/video/grid_VP9.webm?v=2

Shot 1: 1 = Marvel's Midnight Suns 2 = Blasphemous 2 3 = Street Fighter 6 4 = Sonic Frontiers 5 = Cyberpunk 2077 6 = Sackboy: A Big Adventure 7 = Warhammer 40k: Boltgun 8 = The Knight Witch 9 = Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

Shot 2: Armored Core VI

Shot 3: Bomb Rush Cyberfunk

Shot 4: 1 = Spider-Man Miles Morales 2 = Slime Rancher 2 3 = Cyberpunk 2077 4 = Grounded

Shot 5: * Dredge

Shot 6: * Whisker Squadron: Survivor

Shot 7: * 1 = Mars First Logistics * 2 = Little Witch Nobeta * 3 = Solar Ash Kingdom * 4 = Dave the Diver * 5 = Sea of Stars * 6 = Chants of Sennaar * 7 = A Little To The Left * 8 = SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake * 9 = High On Life

Shot 8: * 1 = Cocoon * 2 = Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew * 3 = Persona 5 Royal * 4 = Hi-Fi Rush

Edit: I filled out the rest using some Google Lens searching. Let me know if any of them are incorrect and I'll update

Wow the formatting got ruined from the original comment, no bullet points on Lemmy I guess? Did my best to separate stuff but there’s still no space between the list number and title of the next game.

That article? Idk how reputable that site is but it was the second result on DDG. Didn’t see anymore relevant results in the first page though so may not be trustworthy.

There’s some BDSM dom/sub kinda stuff in Billions. At least in the first few season, tapered off in the later seasons because of story developments. But it even had a place in the story since the character was a public figure and didn’t want it to be public knowledge.

Ahh ok, I remember the pain of having to deal with GoodRX. Depending on how much you take a day dropping 4mg down over a week or two shouldn’t make you feel bad. I was taking 3 8mg tablets a day and over three or four years have dropped to less than 1mg a day total and haven’t had anything worse than some watery eyes and a little tiredness. Just go as slow as you need too. It helped to break them up into smaller amounts more frequently. Instead of 8mg 3 times I did 4mg 6 times, then slowly broke a little off of one of the half’s each day until I was taking 4mg 5 times.

I truly feel your pain having to deal with shitty doctors, pharmacists and lack of insurance. About ten years ago I called every dependence doctor I could find until I found someone willing to write generic bupe prescriptions instead of the name brand bupe/naloxone shit. I think I got lucky by finding a doctor who had a pill addiction in his youth and hates insurance companies more than most. If you happen to be in Central Texas I’ll PM you his info.

Last thing I can think of, we have a couple “no insurance” pharmacies here. They say by not having to pay people to deal with insurance companies they can charge less. They were consistently the lowest price I found and both accepted GoodRX. I live in a big city so that might not be an option, but thought I’d mention it.

It took me a few years to find a stable doctor and pharmacy and I know it’s hell having to deal with the stress until you do. Even with all that it’s still worth it once you find someone that works for you, just gotta keep going until it happens.

EDIT: maybe an online pharmacy? Never tried one, just an idea.
